Game Thread GAME# 29: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 20, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

OMG Herzonia is this years Zach. The foul calls on him are ridiculous.

 

[Titan]

Since the foul was committed by a blazer, it’s an ejection and 1 game suspension

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Trent if he improves his shooting could be the next Wes Matthews.

Wes Mathews was/is Wes Mathews because of his ridiculous effort. Trent doesn't look lazy by any means and he may be a good 3 and D player but he'll never be Wes Mathews.

 

[KingSpeed]

Okay, real quick between quarters. I thought it was obvious, but Dirk, LaMarcus, Aminu. HOF.

What about Sheed? I believe you coached him for one game in Atlanta. He's better than Aminu. Now and Forever.

 

[hoopsjock]

Man, what happened to Ross' shot?

People way overrate average players who win the dunk contest.

 

[DUB]

The refs should give themselves a flagrant foul. What a steaming pile of bullshit.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wes Mathews was/is Wes Mathews because of his ridiculous effort. Trent doesn't look lazy by any means and he may be a good 3 and D player but he'll never be Wes Mathews.

How is he doomed to never give ridiculous effort?

 

[Chris Craig]

How the fuck is that a flagrant

 

[craigehlo]

Man. Marcus Morris would be an easy piece to add shore up this front court.

 

[B-Roy]

Skal+Tolliver is a surefire way to blow a lead.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

He's not doomed, per se, but players like Wes Mathews are pretty rare, and usually show their unusually amazing effort early. I don't see that in Trent.

@TorturedBlazerFan I knew you'd like that. You're welcome lol

Skal has been our best bench player the last several weeks. In fact tonight, he has 8 points 5 rebounds 3 assists and 2 blocks. Wrong night to criticize him.

If you like effort, we should get Joakim Noah.

Thank you

Man. Marcus Morris would be an easy piece to add shore up this front court.

I agree that Morris would help us, but I can’t like your post because I dislike the Morris brothers so much.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. We have 15 assists and 18 turnovers. We should be getting blown out. Luckily, Dame & CJ have been on fire. That covers up everything.

 

[KingSpeed]

Chief!

 

[Titan]

Fuck got to make them freebies

 

[Titan]

Nice another 3J

 

[e_blazer]

Why only 9 minutes for Melo?

 

[bobf]

Orlando’s offense is too slow and methodical to come back now.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why only 9 minutes for Melo?

Knee contusion. Too bad, he was playing well. 6 rebounds, 3 blocks. Pay no attention to 1-6 shooting, that was because of multiple efforts at the rim before Whiteside tipped it in.

Thanks. Hope it’s not serious.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is how games against bad teams at home should go. Much better.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bazemore becoming too valuable for us to trade.

 

[craigehlo]

Baze needed a game like this. Too bad it means he will be throwing up bricks the next game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Thanks. Hope it’s not serious.

They said he was questionable to return so that sounds not bad.

 

[James lamphear]

Orlando has 17 offense rebound they have 20 more attempt fg and we are up by 19 that God for good shooting night.

 

[craigehlo]

Bazemore becoming too valuable for us to trade.

He's Crabbe-level in terms of being inconsistent. His contract should get us someone nice at the deadline.
