Game Thread GAME# 4: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 1, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:00 (PDT), CSNNW & NBATV

[KingSpeed]

Need to move Aminu to the bench. Start Meyers. Will give Dame and CJ spacing and he can make those threes Aminu is missing.

I agree

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We gave up on Meyers really quick

We gave him four years.

 

[PDXFonz]

Did you watch Detroit basketball in the 80's?

No but for what I've seen it wasn't an every night thing and it could be argued whether or not they were trying to hurt people, or just a very physical team.

 

[Strenuus]

Bring out the bench. GG.

Rodman and Laimbeer were trying to end careers. Look up Jack Sikma, too.

 

[LuckyShot]

Warriors don't even look that impressive to me tonight

We aren't making them work. Too many open shots. On the other end we're bricking our open looks or dribbling the ball right to their arms.

 

[Trackjack]

Hopeful this will be a wake call for this team if not it going be long season.

 

[Nhawz]

Hopefully this is a big eye opener for stotts and olshey

 

[PDXFonz]

I don't care who you are playing in this league, you are going to lose if you can't hold them to less than ~60%.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Take heart. The Dubs are gonna do this to a whole lotta teams this year.

Why should I take heart? This is boring as fuck and bad NBA basketball.

 

[LuckyShot]

We gave up on Meyers really quick

We gave him an extraordinary amount of time for a guy who never figured out how to play basketball.

I was just about to post the same thing. This needs to be a huge reality check for this team. Defense fucking matters.

Why does Golden State win games easily (well, last year)? Not just because of the 3's, but because they actually play defense.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Cut it to 28!!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So what did you guys think of the 2nd episode of the Walking Dead this season?

 

[Tunchi]

God Aminu fell off

 

[Strenuus]

I'm thinking Dame should get in a couple peoples' faces tonight... there was a noticeable lack of effort from most of the team.

 

[KingSpeed]

Let's go on a run, cut it to 10, and save face.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Not when those three players are Steph Curry, Ian Clark, and Kevin Durant.

Why should this be a reality check when the Warriors are not playing in this reality?

Agreed

 

[MickZagger]

Aminu man, when are you going to realize the 3 pointer is just not your shot.

 

[LuckyShot]

Guys not named Dame or CJ are 1-13 from 3. Not going to work no matter who we play. That's a lot of wasted possessions and makes it easier on the defense to load up on Dame.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Game 4 of 82.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Whose ready for that 35-2 run???

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Did I get Clark's name wrong? It's the Blazers, so Random Scrub is going to score 30.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Game 4 of 82.

I'm talking about the Warriors. Unless they all fall into the sea and drown they're going to win 75 games.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well we were good last year(scratches head)

 

[B-Roy]

It just seems like the defensive communication this year is almost nonexistent. Players are always a half step slow to switch, to contest, to pick up each others man. It looks like everyone is blaming everyone else, hoping someone else will cover for their mistakes.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Well we were good last year(scratches head)

The curse of Mike Rice!

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs got blown out at home tonight too:

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm talking about the Warriors. Unless they all fall into the sea and drown they're going to win 75 games.

There is always hope
