When was the last time Meyers actually played in a game? Just curious. Does he even show up any more?

I'd play him tonight.

 

[AFully22]

Sure seems like some of the players may have celebrated last nights win a bit too hard. Bazz has been god awful on both ends.

Yet we’re down only 10

 

[BonesJones]

This is how stupid we're playing:

CJ could've had last shot, instead shot a floater with 10 seconds left, missed it, and it led to CP3 FTs.

 

[Labinot41]

I understand Why Moe is frustrated here

 

[SIeepwalker]

Why do we keep doing that long pass shit... It never work and sometimes gives points to the opponent...

 

[Gronk Brady]

What a stupid play by CJ... u take the last shot of half and go down 8 at most for half... he shoots a bad shot with 9 seconds left smh

 

[BonesJones]

That was the dumbest half of Blazer basketball I've ever watched.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Stotts better kill all those players at halftime

 

[illmatic99]

Lucky to be down only 10. HOU shooting only 4/18 from three. That's gonna change after haftime

 

[Gronk Brady]

Something about Dame and CJ playing together... they just default to ISO ball... It just drives me crazy!

 

[Labinot41]

Every Time we have the Ball with under 24 seconds Left to play in the quarter, CJ Shoots with 10 seconds left. That's so fucking stupid and gives opponent a Chance to score

 

[BonesJones]

If I was Stotts I'd be extremely pissed at the combined lack of effort and stupidity of that half.

Have a chance to beat SAS, OKC, and HOU all in a row, and we are playing bad in the worst type of way. Missing open shots is excusable, because sometimes they don't fall. There's been 20-25 plays this game that are just inexcusable and horrible.

We should be down 30. That was the worst half of the season in terms of shooting ourselves in the foot.

 

[rotary111]

Good thing there's 2 halfs to a game. We still have time to turn it around after some changes and maybe a pep talk.

 

[illmatic99]

Ah. Just saw Scott Foster is reffing.

No wonder we have all these whistles

 

[BonesJones]

Are you watching the game...??? When Shabazz and CJ are in the game, it's been even worse than when Dame and CJ are in the game.

I know you like to bash that pairing, but don't make stuff up to do so. The whole team is defaulting to ISO ball, it's not because of that pairing.

 

[BonesJones]

It's not on the refs. Every foul call against us has been the correct call.

 

[illmatic99]

I'm not saying they're biased. I'm saying there's a ton of calls. That's a Scott Foster special-- he needs to have his presence felt

It’s definitely because of that pairing... selfish play is contagious.

 

[BonesJones]

I'd play him tonight.

That's the only way we could play even dumber lol

 

[BonesJones]

No it's not. Selfish play isn't "contagious". You get subbed in for a guy who's hypothetically "playing selfish", it doesn't mean you have to play selfish. If anything, you should be able to see how the hypothetically "selfish" play is hurting the team from the bench and be able to make the adjustments when you get subbed in.

Dame has 5 shots attempts and 3 assists on 14 minutes played. How is that selfish? Damian is being far from selfish. CJ is known to be a selfish player. I don't understand how you could blame it on the pairing as the reason the entire team is running a stagnant offense with tons of ISO ball.

 

[Strenuus]

I didnt even know we had a game tonight. LOL I was suprised when I got home.


Then realized I missed nothing by missing the first half.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, I get that, but every call they've called is an obvious foul except for the Dame foul on Eric Gordon's 3. When they pump fake and we jump straight into them 10 times in a half, there's gonna be a lot of foul calls.

Be glad you missed the first half. It was straight painful to watch.

 

[Optimistic Bob]

Chief .... what should we do ?
We needum to win game with attitude of laughing victory !!

 

[BonesJones]

Damn, was really hoping Rutgers could knock of Michigan State at Michigan State... took them to overtime.

March Madness is gonna be crazy this year. The "top" teams aren't good at all. Michigan State was the #1 team in the country and just lost to unranked Ohio State and needed OT to beat an awful Rutgers team at home.

North Carolina probably won't be a top 3 seed. Kansas probably won't win the Big 12 for the first time in 17 years or something like that.

College BBall is fun as hell this year.

 

[BonesJones]

I thought "that was a quick bucket" then realized Blazers broadcasting got lucky and the bucket was with 11:40 left.

Ya'll can play the interview audio while showing live game action...

 

[SIeepwalker]

GOOD START

 

[BonesJones]

Here we go, shots starting to foul. If we can play smarter, we can definitely snatch this victory.

Unless we keep giving Paul 14-foot jumpers.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Oh CJ defense...

 

[illmatic99]

Jeez, Nurk. GO UP STRONG!
