Game Thread GAME# 30: BLAZERS @ KINGS - DECEMBER 20, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Think of it this way: losing on the road is the utilitarian thing to do. You make a lot of people (in this case, members of a sad, embittered, desperate fanbase, who paid a lot of money to see a crappy team) very happy. Blazers spreading seasonal cheer!

Mr. Bean brings me more seasonal cheer than this shit.

Fuck, sounds like we lost. The Blazers haven't warranted the need for me to stay up and check scores lately, so I went to bed when we had a 12 pt. lead hoping I'd wake up to a cheery crowd on s2.
I couldn't watch so I won't speculate too much, but it sounds like the refs did their usual bit to help facilitate an outcome?

 

[Blazinaway]

I fell asleep too lol. It's sad, this is how disinterested we have become in this fucking team. Last season games were competitive and fun to watch. These days I really don't care

yep, perhaps the most disinterested I have been in a ling time, hopefully we will see some significant changes as a shake up is badly needed IMO

That shouldn't been a T on Plum he dunk the shot and his follow through hit cousins in the face very accidental nothing should been call. Now taunting in the NBA is automatic T and spitting your mouth toward another is automatic T. But the funny thing about this whole thing the ref ask Stotts if he threw it or spit it out. Stotts told him he spit it out toward them. So the ref didn't even see it in the first place. You got 3 official out on the floor didn't see it, what the hell are they looking at. I official and coach over 20 years. I never seen any thing like how NBA official call the game there just ass bad simple as that there no accountability with refs in the NBA and they have there 2 minutes report that has cost teams games but what happens nothing. So silvers get your head out of your ass and start fining these guys for there failure of doing there job.

Cousins is literally insane. That postgame rant - he literally got a ridiculous reprieve on a warranted technical - and HE feels wronged!

I've dealt with adults who have that mentality for most of my adult life. They are always the victim, and they are always wronged. The facts (!), or in this case the video, will totally back them up!!! I swear!!

It's like when MWP or Draymond Green hit someone and claim it was their "natural motion". Basically, the only way they can compete is to cheat or play like a cry baby.

The worst thing about it is they get away with it AND praised for it.

That officiating crew is always one of the worst. Never been a fan of Workman. Cousin's antics did not help. They bought into his bullshit. The 4th or 5th foul on Meyers , when he got the technical, was embarrassingly bad.

 

[BlayZa]

i wonder after these types of losses just how pissed Stotts gets at the team.

I sincerely hope coach isnt just on some 'nearly had them' bullshit vs focusing on the complete collapse in the 2nd half.

there were some bright points tho, CJ, Plum and Mo played well, but some of the shot selection later in the game and the failure to implement a lockdown strategy with a decent lead is becoming a typical 'Blazers' performance.

AKA

To Blazer - To snatch defeat from the jaws of victory via mindnumbingly stupid actions.

Fuck, we lost to Excremento? Line 'em up and bitchslap the whole sorry lot . . .

 

[TBpup]

Cousins did two things very blatantly:

• Spit his mouthpiece at he who irritates
• Destroyed, punked, decimated, disregarded and manhandled the Blazers.

 

[BlayZa]

if it was dame dropping 50 on the Rockets and spitting his mouthguard at Harden then getting un-ejected we'd probably all be laughing our asses off....

tbh dropping 50, cussing out a bitch of a player, being unejected, and getting the W is a preferred scenario of the 2.
