Game Thread GAME# 36: BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - JANURARY 3, 2016 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

Hendo and Harkless are kicking ass

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I don't see much offense in his repertoire aside from getting a shot from point blank. His jump shot isn't terrible, but below average. 80% of his shots are either from 3 or at the rim.

He spins a lot. I think it's his only real offensive move.

 

[KingSpeed]

Frazier with a bad behind the back pass. So unnecessary. For a point guard, he sure makes a lot of dumb turnovers.

Frazier sucks. Can't believe he won MVP of D League.

He can't even seem to hold on to the ball. He's not super fast, he's not a great ball handler, he's undersized and he can't shoot. Boy his intangibles must be off the fucking chart.

 

[KingSpeed]

Harkless is good

 

[Jade Falcon]

We need a proper bullish Big in the paint. None of this 6-10 230 nonsense.

 

[Sinobas]

Harkless sure seems to lose the ball alot on his way to dunking.

Leonard kicks his butt....I tried that

I Iove Sabonis game. He's not his father in the passing or shooting department, but he's got the same body type and post moves. I want the Blazers to get him BAD! Erase the loss of lMA.

Elliot Williams is tearing up the D league and Philly let him go...there's zero defense in the D league and very few assists....it's a shootout there

Harkless is good

He came to play tonight!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The contrast with Jameer Nelson (who I thought was done) is amazing. There really is a big gap between actual NBA players and those that just aren't.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bring back CJ please

Which is exactly why Philly would destroy Kansas, as was discussed in another thread.

I've only seen two of them, but I watched them completely and got to say...I was not impressed nor did he show me NBA ready potential. He got a lot of 3rd chance shots and made his freethrows but Tony Parker from UCLA at 6'9 owned him in the paint the first game I saw...that's a guy I'd look at.

 

[adrenalize74]

I absolutely love how Harkless is always looking to dunk! Wish Leonard was more like that.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Our second unit is holding their own tonight so far. Harkless and Henderson seemed to be bring more energy than usual.

 

[Sinobas]

I have a feeling this team is going to eek into the playoffs and lose their pick.

Well I didn't see him against better competition. So if you say he got owned I believe you.

Holy shit. Jimmy Butler scored 40 points in the second half!

 

[riverman]

Harkless will be a starter in the not so distant future...once his IQ for the game improves, he's got a ton of talent

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wow, CJ's point improvement over last season is 7th ALL TIME.

 

[riverman]

not to mention CJs foot health is at an alltime high!

 

[Sinobas]

44 to 44 with 4:44 to go in the quarter

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Holy shit. Jimmy Butler scored 40 points in the second half!

...and 2 in the first half!

Off topic: Jack in the Crack still has the best fast food commercials after all these years

Strangely enough, I crack up at the Norm McDonalds Colonel Sanders KFC bits

Mike Rice "That was just not good defense right there." After watching Leonard's terrible defense on Faried.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What IS that thing on Aminu's eye?
