Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 4, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), KGW & ESPN

[JDC]

I talk about trading CJ but Olshey owes it to the franchise to acquire a center without giving him up first.

Agreed. Dame and CJ gives this team a chance to be a top 5 offense for the next 5+ years. Find another skilled offensive player, ideally at the 4 and a rim protector and they look more like a contender.

Top 3 offense and 10th ish D with some injury luck gives this franchise a shot.

I've ALWAYS been against trading C.J., completely disagree with the they can't coexist crowd and disagree just as much with the Crabbe should be starting C.J. should be our 6th man crowd.

I ate my crow like a man but this post reeks of ...na na nana na

Exactly, you see the team now with improved defense, adding Nerlens would boost that a ton just being a rim protector.

 

[Boob-No-More]

I haven't sat down and figured out everybody but I would like to start with getting Nerlens Noel. Give up Crabbe for that and a pick as suggested by others as well. Meyers, Ed davis, Aminu, I think you can touch anybody but Dame,Cj,Moe, Plums.

If we could get both Noel and Ibaka (or similar quality), I'd gladly give up anyone and everyone on our roster not named McCollum and Lillard. Everyone else is replaceable. As much as I like Plumlee, if we get Noel and Ibaka he becomes expendable and too expensive to keep anyway. Might was well move him if it gets us something worthwhile in return. The ESPN crew was talking abut him getting a potential $20 million contract - and they meant per season, not total.

Plumlee is doing a pretty good job of picking his spots to attack. Although that "hook" shot was a bonus.

 

[Chris Craig]

Calabro and Hurd sound like commentators for the warriors that are being nice to the Blazers

 

[Scalma]

Btw, we have to be showcasing Meyers because Davis is made for games like this

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Next poster who talks about trading CJ I'm putting on ignore.

Here's an idea....

Let's trade CJ!

(For a backup player.... On our own roster.... As in he'll eventually need some rest for a few minutes.... no?)

 

[riverman]

Good time out

 

[VenomXL]

Durant is just murdering us right now.

 

[Chris Craig]

Davis hasn't even played tonight...damn...yeah there is no other reason to play Meyers over him

 

[Darkwebs]

As soon as the ESPN guys mentioned Sam Bowie, the Blazers lost their lead. Damn you, Bowie!!!

 

[JDC]

Mo's gotta be quicker to recognize his help assignments. Slow to react again there.

People keep telling me "Oh, they are growing on me." What..... like fungus?

I agree. Everyone but CJ and dame should be available right now, especially if it lands us Noel and ibaka

 

[julius]

One team seems to have made adjustments, the other didn't.

 

[blue9]

And there's no reason to play Ed over Meyers. They both suck. But Meyers will sink some shots and block some shots every 10 games or so.

 

[Nikolokolus]

PA looks like a trucker.

Yeah I don't think they will ever really grow on me, it's weird honestly. I was so used to Mike and mike and they were loved by everybody including me, that colabro and hurd, I could never get used to because they are so different

 

[julius]

As soon as the ESPN guys mentioned Sam Bowie, the Blazers lost their lead. Damn you, Bowie!!!

I've never understood why bringing up a draft pick that was over 30 years ago, really is relevant to the game.

 

[LuckyShot]

Do we lead the league in missed layups?

 

[Cippy91]

Because people love shitting on us for not grabbing Jordan as if anybody knew he would become what he became in the league

 

[VenomXL]

Terrible sequence for Mase.

 

[blue9]

Dribble, jump, pass, foul, turnover.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dude, fuck these 3rd Quarters. Jesus Christ.

 

[julius]

They seem to have taken CJ out of the game.

Said everyone when Schonley was replaced ... But much more angrily.

 

[MarAzul]

McCollum is impressing the hell out of the Warrior's crew.

 

[LuckyShot]

Mental errors killing us on defense, and it's starting to spill into the offense. Typical for us

 

[julius]

Aminu...what in the fuck.
