Game Thread GAME# 3: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - DECEMBER 28, 2020 - MONDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[Fez Hammersticks]

Simons is the slowest developing prospect in the history of the NBA.

 

[Paine Tablet]

Meh. This isn’t a HS kid. CJ makes tough shots.

Fuck you. It's not a good shot. edit: sorry, I misread what you wrote. I thought you were calling me a kid.

Simons is the slowest developing prospect in the history of the NBA.

Pretty sure that title still belongs to Jermaine O'Neal.

 

[Hoopguru]

CJ has 6 assist and pushed the ball which got us going so let up haters.

 

[Serbian]

What happened to Nurkic? Kanter looks better player. Nurkic regressed. Also unacceptable CJ to shoot triple more times than DAME. Wtf man

 

[B-Roy]

Pretty sure that title still belongs to Jermaine O'Neal.

Some say Meyers Leonard is still developing to this day.

 

[James lamphear]

A lot positive that half the bench 24 points led by Trent with 16. CJ 13 points but he got 6 assist. 12 assist and lead the rebounding by 3. The negative is we shooting like shit except for Trent.

 

[Cugel]

Roco and djj are guarding two of the top 5 in the league. Doing a great job too. Need more from dame. I can't imagine he is 100 percent

 

[B-Roy]

Dame and Nurk have been uncharacteristically bad.

 

[blazerkor]

What happened to Nurkic? Kanter looks better player. Nurkic regressed. Also unacceptable CJ to shoot triple more times than DAME. Wtf man

Bad last play but he's shooting the ball well, has six assists and only one turnover. I just can't stand Dame and him on defense together. It makes the rest of these guys amazing talent and effort almost meaningless.

 

[TBpup]

"Dear Terry,

F.U.!"

Signed,

Gary Trent

 

[bobf]

what happened to Roco's jumper

He’ll get it. I loved Chief and Hark but if RoCo is anywhere near 35% he’s better than Aminu. He’s a better defender. DJJ is harder for me to judge vs Hark. All in all these two are probably better but I don’t think they shoot the three as well.

 

[Chris Craig]

What happened to Nurkic? Kanter looks better player. Nurkic regressed. Also unacceptable CJ to shoot triple more times than DAME. Wtf man

Yeah, Nurk is pissing me off with all his shitty passing and his weak takes. He keeps turning it over. Not the beast I remember.

Dame is being doubled and tripled every possession. Not much he can do.

 

[blazerkor]

Dame and Nurk have been uncharacteristically bad.

Not too aggressive but not bad either. Nurk just hasn't done much but Dame has 10 points on 4 shots.

 

[Natebishop3]

Some say Meyers Leonard is still developing to this day.

That’s a misconception. He has developed as far as he can. Now he’s developing his video game skills.

 

[B-Roy]

RoCo and DJJ have been invaluable this game. You guys realize they’re guarding two top 5 players right?

 

[BonesJones]

Simons is the slowest developing prospect in the history of the NBA.

Huh? This is basically the start of his 2nd season, and his shot looks better, he's stronger, and his defense looks improved... Don't know what you're getting off on here but I disagree.

 

[Natebishop3]

Not too aggressive but not bad either. Nurk just hasn't done much but Dame has 10 points on 4 shots.

Yeah the Lakers are making us beat them with anyone but Dame and we are so far.

 

[B-Roy]

Not too aggressive but not bad either. Nurk just hasn't done much but Dame has 10 points on 4 shots.

All of Nurks passes are a coin flip from being a turnover, even the basic ones.

 

[riverman]

Meyers Leonard says hello

 

[Chris Craig]

Some say Meyers Leonard is still developing to this day.

Developing pictures from his RV trip?

 

[Natebishop3]

Huh? This is basically the start of his 2nd season, and his shot looks better, he's stronger, and his defense looks improved... Don't know what you're getting off on here but I disagree.

He looks noticeably bigger and his defense looked pretty good.

 

[BonesJones]

He’ll get it. I loved Chief and Hark but if RoCo is anywhere near 35% he’s better than Aminu. He’s a better defender. DJJ is harder for me to judge vs Hark. All in all these two are probably better but I don’t think they shoot the three as well.

RoCo is streaky. He'll have 5 really good shooting games then 5 games where he's in a slump. He's starting off the season in a slump but this is the first game he's gotten a clean catch-and-shoot look all season. I expect it to come around, and this team will be deadly if we're moving the ball, cutting well, and if RoCo's on from 3. We'll exploit the attention Dame gets by doing that.

Zach Collins, Meyers Leonard, Caleb Swanigan .........Hold my beer

 

[Labinot41]

Hate to say it but RoCo and DJJ are 0/8 from 3 and 3/14 overall. Yikes. Love their D though

 

[Mr. Robot]

dame and nurk will need to contribute with points, otherwise i cant see us winning this game

 

[Chris Craig]

All of Nurks passes are a coin flip from being a turnover, even the basic ones.

He is being lazy on most every pass because he is gassed. He needs to get in shape. We need to see the beast again.

The more I watch him, the more I am ok with including him for Harden

 

[Natebishop3]

Zach Collins, Meyers Leonard, Caleb Swanigan .........Hold my beer

Swanigan is just bad. Nothing to develop.

 

[riverman]

Some say Meyers Leonard is still developing to this day.

I missed yours...didn't mean to duplicate it

 

[Natebishop3]

Start Kanter and have Zach as the backup.
