Game Thread GAME# 41: KNICKS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 7, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[BigGameDamian]

Blazers are getting pretty lucky that these easy shots aren't falling for the Knicks.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Vonleh is hot1

 

[trailblazer18]

Yeah but he shot 4-11 to do it.

It's in reference to the caption contest game.

 

[BonesJones]

Stupid save by Turner. Great outlet pass smh.

 

[bobf]

Turrible defense my ML got lucky

 

[ripcityboy]

Why are we losing all these 50/50's? Did Olshey lose a bet with God?!

 

[Labinot41]

Vonleh > Collins

no, his hair dresser.

Ah I see. Didn't check that thread obviously.

 

[ripcityboy]

no, his hair dresser.

That hair is more well placed that a copy of the New Yorker in a dentist's waiting room.

 

[Titan]

Dude is ET trying to steal rebounds from his own team?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Blazers back into the mess - a 4-way tie for 4th in the West.

 

[riverman]

yes! Vonleh was one rebound short of 14!!!!!!!!!!! He ended 16/13

 

[LuckyShot]

Our bench shot over 50% tonight.

 

[ripcityboy]

Vonleh > Collins

I hate you for saying that but your absolutely right.

 

[Blazer4ever]

OK, some good signs. The 2nd half was OK

 

[The Professional Fan]

We just fondled the Knicks balls for a bit and then chopped them off

Good stuff

I winced and then clicked 'like'.

 

[Blazer4ever]

No, he isn't right. Vonleh played for us, we know he's useless. Getting numbers on the Knicks mean nothing, Collins is much better

 

[trailblazer18]

Ah I see. Didn't check that thread obviously.

You had to bet whether or not he would get over or under 14pts/14rebs. He got the over on the points and most of us bet the under.

 

[DDolla]

Is Dame on a slump? He looks tired out there.

 

[ripcityboy]

Stotts look into Jake's deep blue eyes. It's the eyes of somebody yearning for minutes to play! Grow out your rookie-hating, Grench like heart!

 

[Scalma]

I think Layman might be our best off the ball/open court runner, if that makes sense.

 

[bobf]

That there is Zach Collins in a nutshell. A very thin nutshell.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm foregoing "The Other Side" thread tonight. I'm not in a good mood thanks to loud neighbors, and I don't want to fuck with it over a team like the Knicks.

Have a good night fams.

 

[ripcityboy]

No, he isn't right. Vonleh played for us, we know he's useless. Getting numbers on the Knicks mean nothing, Collins is much better

Collins may have more upside but Vonleh is obviously developed more. Not Collins fault. He's younger and less experienced. But there it is.

 

[CupWizier]

I noticed that as well you have to remember this is the 3rd game in 4 nights and those other 2 games he played a ton of minutes.

 

[wizenheimer]

No, he isn't right. Vonleh played for us, we know he's useless. Collins is much better

Vonleh is not useless and Collins is not 'much better' than Vonleh

but other than that, you were correct

 

[TBpup]

When Layman gets minutes, he produces. Can't figure out why Stotts keeps jerking him around.

 

[BonesJones]

He was hitting shots early, but not playing winning basketball. Terrible team defender and isn't a good decision maker.

Undrafted and sitting at a smooth 468th out of 473 in RPM. That doesn't feel like a young player that should be handed opportunities.

He was scoring the ball well. He's a rookie. They should be trying to develop his defense and decision making, to supplement his scoring.
