Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS - JANUARY 2, 2018 - TUESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[Scalma]

If Olshey had any balls he'd quietly put Mccollum on the block, but he doesn't, so I can't wait to hear him try and sell us on our inner development.

But seriously, if he doesn't make serious moves at this deadline, Paul should fire him the day after.

 

[TBpup]

Cleveland looked bored to death for the first 3 quarters. Then they decided it was time to play and ran away and hid. Fairly predictable.

Would have liked to see them get more shots for Nurk. When someone is 10-12.....FEED THEM!

Why did Bazz get under 15 min? Dude has been balling out... give ET less minutes!

I've been saying this for years but more about the Blazers front office. They play it too safe.

Bazz was 0-fer tonight...just didn't have it.

What I don't get, is how do the Blazers give up 17 points in 18 minutes to a guy who hasn't seen the floor in 7 months?

 

[BonesJones]

Ever.

Play harder, adjust to the calls.

Whete was the bitching about unfair refs during the 76ers game?

Sixers fans had a legitment argument. Do I agree with it? Idk, I'd have to watch it back. But there were 3 or 4 horrible calls against us in the 2nd half, and many questionable ones, which led to a huge FT disparity.

LeBron. And Isaiah was hitting shots. Product of their offense. Dame played decent D against him today.

 

[rotary111]

I like what Dame said tonight. " If they played like that against most teams in the league.. That's a W. " or something like that.

I agree.

 

[BrunoSOC]

On to the next one.

I agree to. Gotta play hard everygame, we are capable

This is more to the forum not just you King;

I thought we learned our lesson about saying things like this with Pat. Guess not.

#doomedtorepeathistory

If you watched closely, Pat showed some promise his first two years.

I haven't seen anything outside of his first game to make me think Layman sticks in the NBA

 

[Labinot41]

Collins out of rotation btw? In Chicago he also saw just 12 minutes

He hasnt been good, lately.

That being said, I don't think he's out for good. I think Stotts is sending a message.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

What's sad about Layman is we may have to keep him next year just to fill out our roster.

Just Harsh! ESPN posterized us on Sports Center AM.

The entire media are in cahoots with the refs to keep Portland down. Don't you know anything?

Never indicated that. However, you profess to know "nothing".

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Cleveland's starters - 8 turnovers
Damian Lillard - 7 turnovers

Let's give ET less minutes in the game where we need people to guard Lebron. Not only that, let's put Shabazz in. He's big enough.

 

[gatorpops]

When ET got his 6th foul was when the Caves started in in ernest. He has played great last three games. Maybe he wants out.

last 5 games: 12/4/3 in 29 mpg. 52% FG, 40% from 3.

That's damn good.

No. Last night was a bad matchup for him.

 

[Blazers Roy]

I'm still not sure what this is, but im starting to see it
