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

[DUB]

Your welcome. I wore my Classic Jersey to the Warriors game and broke the curse

So the curse has transferred to you?

 

[jlprk]

We're in the top half. #15 in leaguewide winning percentage. We were #21 about 3 days ago.

Why did Melo only play 9 minutes? I didn’t get to watch this one.

Knee contusion I think.

Knee contusion I think.

The curse continues.

 

[DDolla]

The curse is over! We finally win in these Classic jerseys!

Yeah but someone got hurt... smh

I can honestly say I love Hassan. In a totally platonic way of course.

Win consistently against good teams... It means nothing until then.

 

[KingSpeed]

big diff between 8th and 6th. long way to catch utah.

Not at all considering we haven’t played Utah yet and we’re only 4.5 games behind them. 6 seed is realistic but Top 4 seed should still be the goal. There are over 50 games left.

Was that Old Spice in CJ's locker?

It all means something. You know how you know you’re a good team? Because you beat the bad teams (thus, you aren’t one). Every win in regular season is worth the same towards qualifying for playoffs. Beating the good teams in regular season has no extra value. We could sweep the Jazz in regular season but it wouldn’t guarantee a single playoff win. If we beat Lakers on Dec 28th, does that mean we’re going to be a good playoff team? Not necessarily. So just sit back, enjoy the games, enjoy every win (the goal of the game), and then hope we deliver the goods in playoffs “when it really matters.”

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

No, Chief is a much better player. Basketball is 90% composure. You can't stare down a ref, that's detrimental to the team. Aminu was such a smart player and skilled player. He gave 110% effort.
But to your point, I think one game under my tutelage was what helped Sheed win a championship in Detroit. That's all it takes with me - one game. Without my guidance he would already be forgotten.

I heard this stat on the radio on the way home from the game tonight. With his 7 3-pointers tonight, Dame moves into 25th place on the NBA all-time 3-pointers made list.



Next up, Wes Matthews with only 6 more. He'll be climbing this list quickly over the next few years.

By the end of this season he will be about 20th?

 

[tlongII]

They obviously haven’t been reading all of my posts on this message board. Which concerns me quite frankly.

A genuine win streak!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Another 3 game wins streak and counting. Who will win WC Player of the Week this time?

So far this week, Cj's averaging 30.3/6.7/4.3 on .576 FG & .435 3P. He's got to be a contender if he keeps it up and they win tonight. Then again Dame's averaging 31.3/3/8, but only on 50% FG & 41.4% 3P, so not quite as efficient.

Can they get co-POTY? That'd be pretty cool.

 

[Hoopguru]

I heard last night that Dame & CJ have more dual 30 point games than any other combo in NBA history to date! Impressive

 

[The Professional Fan]

Are they better on or off the court idk
