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

[Sinobas]

This team is as bad if not worse than the Kings and Nuggets, how did it all go to hell so quickly?

I don't think they were ever good. Barely over .500 last year, barely beat the Clippers without Paul and Griffin. The question I have, is why Olshey thought this team was good.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The next GM is going to have a hell of a time moving the overpaid scrubs.

The next GM, coach, and roster shouldnt honey dick us into giving out contracts.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cousins has never won more than 33 games. Sheed was a nutjob, but always a winner. Not the same

He wasn't a winner until he got to Portland.

 

[julius]

Who the hell calls any of the Blazers big men "stoppers"?

Unless they mean to say "these guys are no stoppers"

30

So he's said it more. Cool.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Would you rather have Rondae Hollis-Jefferson than Plumlee?

No.

 

[Jade Falcon]

So who wouldn't trade cj for,cousins again? Lmao.

Not me. Spitting mouth pieces, ejections, and technicals? That's what you want?

Fuck that, you know he'd spend more time ejected and suspended than playing if he were on our team.

This.

Awww well ... Can't give up 125 and expect to win. Bullshit call or not.

And this. This is about so much more than one bullshit call. This was us; period. Missed freethrows, bigs that don't know what the fuck they're doing (except Plums), old plays that are predictable. Not to mention Defense that an injured kitten could get through.

This team is as bad if not worse than the Kings and Nuggets, how did it all go to hell so quickly?

Terry Stotts. That's how. His plays are old, tired, and predictable, and he doesn't lead his team like a coach should. Gives half-assed press conferences like he doesn't even care, and lets his team go to hell in the 2nd Half.

I'm glad Paul Allen was there tonight, so he can see this shit first hand.

We have a lot of "stoppers"

Just not traditional ones... a lot of " oh for the love of god please STOP" type stoppers

Dame had nice game up to the 4th than he started looking for his shot 30 feet away. The hottest player on the floor was CJ and many touches did he get in the 4th. It Dame job to feed the person that is hot not trying to get his. I really think the have stop following Dame as the leader because times you go down and shoot some stupid shots. This teams goes when he get everyone involve but they stop playing when he doesn't.

 

[KingSpeed]

I will say I wasn't impressed with Boogie's D. If we added Cousins, we'd have the best offense in the league by a mile but our D would still suck.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Cousins isn't coming to Portland.

DAMN!

That was hilarious! He mad.

 

[riverman]

It Dame job to feed the person that is hot not trying to get his

Dame had 15 assists and CJ went cold shooting at the end of the game

Dame took it to the hole and Cousins blocked it. Game over.

double post

 

[Five Second Violation]

Yep, that's them.

And per 100 possessions it's actually shockingly close. They played a much faster pace, but gave up 114.7 points per 100 possessions

After the GSW game Portland was at 113.7 points per 100, and that almost certainly went up with this monstrosity of a performance tonight.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/2017.html

I mean holy shit, forget just Portland's history, we're actually getting close to being the worst NBA defense of all time per Team Defensive Rating. Unbelievable.

 

[BlayZa]

WTF

i went n made a lovely Scotch Fillet steak for dinner, up like 8. come back to this shitty loss,

good news is im only on page 14/20 for comments, hopefully there is some funny shit said between now n the end.

un-fuckin-believable.

(well, not really).

 

[illmatic99]

Regardless, you think this team and staff want a guy on the team who spits at them?

Not happening. He is so talented, but he will never win a damn thing of importance.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Plumlee with a career high in scoring. That's all I need to know about Cousin's defense. Not sure how DMC would help.
But he would give us another 3 pt shooter........

I mean, Artest ended up on the Lakers after that brutal Rockets-Lakers series in 2009, so it's possible still.

I want Noel

 

[BlazerBeav]

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

 

[BlayZa]

Jesus H Me. I can't believe this and I've come back from the dead.

under-rated post right here

THAT is what gets a coach fired real quick

 

[chzbrgr]

Im over this team until they make some moves I cant watch another game gives me a sour milk taste

He's like an 800 Horsepower Ferrari: beautiful to look at, insanely powerful, incredibly fast, insanely expensive, and in the right hands it can win any race.

But it is completely impractical. And a Widow Maker in the wrong hands.

 

[BlayZa]

are we ready to unban tunchi the redeemer yet? tbh its getting hard to come up with points as to why he isn't right after tonights performance.

You can be critically right and not be a troll. He can't.

CJ was 6 for 7 in the 4th and last time he seen a shot at the 4:31 mark I guess if that cold then I love to see hot.

He lost the three point contest at the end trying to trade buckets with Cousins...actually it was a turning point at the end

 

[BlayZa]

Meyers Leonard
