Game Thread GAME# 41: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - JANUARY 17, 2015 - SATURDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

Wheels is having one of those..oh shit...broadcasts.

He sounds disintrested, distraught, and dissatisfied.

 

[PDXFonz]

Right now Kaman looks a bit like that golfer that used to be scratch, hasn't played in a couple of years, and still thinks he can make that 60-degree wedge flop shot over a bunker and down a sloping green. You can see the skill is there, but the execution is not what it once was.

"Nic is a shell of his offensive game right now, and some in Portland are wondering if they should shut him down" - MEM announcers. Have any POR media outlets (Canzano, Jaynes, etc) been saying this? I know some of us have.

Are you actually suggesting that he has hit the downside of his career in what...18 games? Cmon now, he looked great earlier. There's no reason to believe this is anything but over use.

 

[MickZagger]

Our defense is awful tonight.

 

[Boise Blazer]

If these last three games haven't made the case to make a move then we simply aren't going to make one.

 

[Strenuus]

If these last three games haven't made the case to make a move then we simply aren't going to make one.

Agreed.

 

[Strenuus]

Dame is just off. Don't mind any of the shots, but he's off. He'll get it back.

 

[riverman]

Allen Crabbe time?

 

[BrianFromWA]

what 18 games are you talking about? I was just saying on moves like that spin move you can see he had it at one time. Yesterday he had a move where he tripped. He hasn't really played much in a couple of years. He's already played about as many minutes this season as he has in 3 of the last 6.

 

[Strenuus]

lol. Lillard called for a moving screen. go figure.

 

[Strenuus]

This game sucks.

 

[riverman]

Dame is not having the best game so far

 

[Strenuus]

I know I got on blue9 for talking about stotts' offensive schemes and also the lack of changing up what to do when traps come... but Stotts' flaws are starting to show badly.

 

[MickZagger]

Were going to need home court advantage in the playoffs.

 

[BrianFromWA]

gonna go out on a limb and say that if they keep shooting 67% (56% from 3), it's gonna be a long game.

Dame's in "dropping the head after a miss" mode.

 

[riverman]

Leonard finally hit a shot, seems like a year since we made a shot

 

[MickZagger]

Gasol just took Leonard to school.

 

[DUB]

I know I got on blue9 for talking about stotts' offensive schemes and also the lack of changing up what to do when traps come... but Stotts' flaws are starting to show badly.

I don't think it's lack of ideas, just extreme stubbornness.

He is becoming Wenger like.

 

[kingslayer]

We just flat out suck right now.

 

[Strenuus]

Hey dame... Lillard time can start any time, y'know.

 

[PDXFonz]

This fucking subway commercial makes me laugh every time. "Chicken you can feel good about"

So that's what's wrong with the other chicken you can't feel good about it.

 

[Strenuus]

Randolph all-time leading rebounder in Memphis.

 

[MARIS61]

Zach seems to have discovered a way to get away with just about anything when he doesn't have the ball.

 

[kingslayer]

The Warriors are absolutely dismantling the Rockets now too.

 

[BrianFromWA]

speaking of commercials, I can't remember the last Taco Bell commercial that didn't make me want to punch the kid eating it. I know I'm not the target audience, but the dude running away from the girl's house in his underwear....this parking ticket kid...guh.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Dame's jumper right there ensures he won't add to his total of 2 of the 27 worst shooting nights in history. So there's that.

 

[riverman]

Wow...Wes took a charge! When's the last time we took a charge?

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA 0-2 on one-legged shots so far.

LMA: "YOU CAN'T CALL THAT!"

 

[Strenuus]

LA with 3 fouls. *sigh*

 

[MARIS61]

Chicken is the blandest of meats, and the most deadly.

 

[DUB]

Good job Wes! Taking the charge even though he's banged up.
