Game Thread GAME# 33: BLAZERS @ KINGS - DECEMBER 27, 2015 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[0-Our!]

OKC has made some idiotic moves over the past few years, mostly financially driven. And their coach was an idiot who couldn't make it work.

ANNNND, they had a third ball dominant perimeter who is a top 3 player in the league. They had geometry problems

We don't have those issues.

 

[santeesioux]

U mean... the guy that's not PG?

Our Urkel is way better than that Urkel, just ask HCP.

 

[0-Our!]

Harkless continues to impress when given extended playing time. His help-side defense on Cousins in the second-half was beautiful and those strong takes the bucket were amazing as well!

Tonight proved that McCollum has a bigger ceiling than a prime Jamal Crawford (which isn't shabby by any means), but the question still remains: Can Dame and CJ be productive along side one another over the long haul?

Agreed! I (& some others) have been callin' for this More Mo'! More Mo'!

The Kings are a mess. They have some of the most talented guys in the league in Cousins, Rondo, Gay, McLemore. And with Collison, Curry, Belinelli, and Koufos coming off the bench this team should be able to Dominate most teams and compete with just about any team in the league. The talent says Playoffs all the way. The "Head Case" problem says Losers!
I don't think i have seen a player simply quit on plays as much as Cousins did tonight in a complete year of play. The guy would simply not work hard if he figured it just didn't matter. I pretty much think you should let Rondo make two 3 pointers every time you play him so you can expect him to throw up prayers the rest of the game. What happened to George Karl? I would never have guessed he would let a team play like this?
Not taking anything away from the effort Portland put out tonight. CJ was superb and Meyers is back. Harkless showed big time and Frazier continues to impress. I just don't understand why the Kings are not 18-12 instead of 12-18?

Meyers is way better playing center and guarding centers. He looks completely lost trying to defend the perimeter.

I agree and have been saying this for a while. He is a stretch 5 not a stretch 4. You just can't expect a 7'1" player to chase quicker players around the perimeter. LMA could not do it either.

Where I was horribly wrong was thinking CJ was strictly a SG. He can definitely be our back up point guard, which allows him to play 30+ minutes a game. Very happy about being wrong there. The guy just keeps getting better.

 

[Strenuus]

Loving the trade value CJ is getting right now.

 

[Trackjack]

Star go to CJ and the bench tonight great job guys I see the confident starting to grow with young guys.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why did Cousins shoot 7 threes?

You're loving CJ's "Trade Value"??? Some of the posters here are morons

Just being consistent.

I could pull up some threads on here from you, but I'm a nice person.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Meyers envy.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Cousins is a lazy, bad-attitude, quit-on-the-play pile of garbage.

The next person that says "trade for Boogie" is getting bitch slapped.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

 

[Blazinaway]

almost forgotten was an excellent game by Moe Harkless (aka the Invisible Man), now lets hope we see more of this as opposed to it being a one-game wonder, please show up more often Moe!

 

[riverman]

Great win for the good guys sans Lillard and Davis. I missed the last 3 qtrs....CJ just beasted and Meyers got another double double

 

[Blazers Roy]

Damn wish I could have seen this one.

I still want him if the deal is right.

So the question is, when Davis comes back who sits for that to happen? Harkless would need consistent minutes. Possibly Vonleh or Hendo?

Maybe it is time to give Aminu more PF minutes, Harkless more SF minutes and Vonleh zero minutes? Something has to give.

I say Hendo should sit but they might be trying to prop up his (near) nonexistent trade-value.

Vonleh needs minutes (not because he has deserved them all though).

You were warned.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

hendo has had some good defensive stops lately, im not ready to quit on him. let this team mesh

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Forgive me if I passed by it in this thread but does anyone have the highlights of all of CJ's points from the game? Usually someone makes the video and has it on YouTube when a player has a big game.

I found this if anyone else is looking for it.

I never "started" on him, I've seen enough of his games over the years to know what he's capable of so... I can't quit on him; I never believed in him & I'm not about to start Coming here was suppose to be his BIG chance to show ppl he could do more; I know he was injured, surgery, etc. but all those things don't mean much to me. Even IF he had come in & bonded w/ the guys early, he'd being doing approx. what u see now from him. Henderson's ceiling is a bench player @ best/ short-term fill in @ starter (he's not good enough to sustain being a starter on a successful/wants to be successful team), it's time to unload his $6mill this yr. (he's an expiring contract; his greatest value comes to us in the form of making a trade).
