Game Thread GAME# 36: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 29, 2018 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

It's time to stagger Dame and C.J. again. It'd allow us to play Curry more of Stauskas/Turner's minutes.

 

[Labinot41]

I hate this bench squad so fucking much holy shit.

 

[BonesJones]

Three TERRIBLE teams gave up on Stauskas, and we're a "playoff team" trying to take the next step giving him 15 minutes a game even though he's shown he doesn't deserve it at all. Pisses me off.

 

[JDC]

Why is stotts so in love with playing our whole bench at the same time. No one else does that crap. Their starters or at least a few of them are in while our mediocre bench is getting stomped all over the court. I say it every game, it's HS basketball, it's amateur.

This is the first year he's done it.

And yeah the results aren't great, at least against good teams.

 

[BonesJones]

No defense in transition either. What a mediocre unit.

 

[ripcityboy]

You win some you lose some. That's the way it's been this year. Around and around, where it stops, no one knows.

 

[BonesJones]

I don't care that ET made that, That was a terrible possession. ET isolating against Draymond shooting a fadeaway leaner from 12 feet? No.

There is some guy on the bench who was shooting an eFG of right at 60% against starters. Maybe give that guy some run. Just sayin' Coach....

 

[Labinot41]

I knew this Game would be tough and had no expectations. At least our new jerseys looks nice

 

[ripcityboy]

Meyers actually finished a dunk!!!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The thing about bench players is their bench players for a reason, they're all role players. Who will look much better when they get to play with some starters. Nik, Curry, Zach, ML ET is not capable of playing with just about any NBA team who has 2-3 starters in there... Stotts drives me nuts. Anyways go Blazers, hope they figure out how to win.

 

[DDolla]

You can’t comeback against the Warriors since they will get all the calls so this one is pretty much over. Time to watch football

 

[LuckyShot]

Yeah we aren't beating these guys twice in a row. Sucks I had to miss the last game when we actually won.

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers flexing while down 12. God I can't stand this dude.

 

[TBpup]

Okay Zach, pay attention to what Meyers just did right there. (Can't believe I'm saying that.)

 

[JDC]

A missed layup and putback make it pretty tough.

Your floor balance is all messed up in those situations.

 

[BonesJones]

Flexing when down 12?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

This is the first year he's done it.

Pops did it a few years ago for like a month and realized it didn't work. Not sure why Stotts continues to do it.

 

[BonesJones]

A missed layup and putback make it pretty tough.

Meh, it's been different situations. Top 1 or 2 guys should be getting back on defense and picking up the ball and the 1st option down the court. We struggle at that.

 

[BonesJones]

EVAN, SWITCH THE ANGLE TO FREE THROW LINE EXTENDED, THIS IS BASIC SHIT!!!!!@!

 

[BonesJones]

Turner is so broke.

 

[TBpup]

Flexing when down 12?

Actually dunking the ball....but you knew that.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sigh.

ET is not capable of playing well with any humanoid creature that has opposible thumbs.

 

[DDolla]

Turner is so broke.

No he is so damn rich $$$

 

[B-Roy]

Stotts needed to be fired last year.

 

[LuckyShot]

Looks like the team checked out quicker than I did.

 

[TBpup]

Turner is so broke.

Nope...he's making $17,000,000/year.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Ya this ones over

 

[DDolla]

Glad we won last game
