Game Thread GAME# 42: BULLS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 9, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

I know

I wonder why its worse now?

 

[oldmangrouch]

That play NEVER works.

 

[James lamphear]

Lot better D in the 2nd QT. But not real focus on the offensive end committed 10 turnovers. Bench play good with 23 points.

 

[crandc]

Just back from ballet class. Almost made it through without hitting the deck, until final turn, down I went. I t will ease my pain if Blazers make Bulls hurt more.

 

[LuckyShot]

Spurs and Rockets lose. We move up to 5th with win.

That... doesn't sound very impressive.

 

[Jade Falcon]

You're overreacting. Quit having a meltdown because I said we missed good shots and they made tough ones. Sit down.

Jesus dude.

And yet you missed the POINT of my original post. We play down to our opponent's level, and it's been proven time and time again with every shitty opponent we play. This isn't something that just started happening this game. Did you watch the the first half of the Knicks game? Hell, that whole fucking game was filled with shitty, sub-par play that I expect from the Knicks, not the Blazers.

On the matter of your arguing with everything people say, take the advice of someone who speaks from experience: arguing from the position that your opinion is factual vs another person's opinion is always going to result in a L.

Don't contradict someone's opinion. IT'S AN OPINION. If I start a thread about a certain subject, then by all means: debate away. But a post in a game thread between commercials and shitty internet connection? Not necessary.

It's an opinion in the moment. Not a life goal.

How the hell Sean Miller has never been to the Final Four with talent like Marrkanen and Trier blows my mind.

They also had Ayton.

I think because he's been the primary ball handler in the past whereas here he's playing off the ball and being told to shoot whenever he can now. He's not even looking to pass much.

Biofreeze!

I never said that was never the case. The Knicks game was like that, whule I think this game however theyve been making good moves and tough shots, while weve been missing good shots.

How am I arguing from a position of my argument being factual? I literally said "I think" then stated a different opinion. Did it respectfully with nothing malicious, and you're having a meltdown over it. My goodness. Calm down.

This game thread has been so good so far, lots of good basketball talk.

Makes sense.

Yup, for the most part.

When I was looking up his stats I thought it was interesting that every other year of his career he was listed as PG and this year he’s listed a SG. At least in the places I was looking.

Because you are contradicting an opinion with one of your own. THAT is the issue. And in your case, you do it multiple times a game thread with various people. Over opinions.

It's an opinion. Not a college term paper in sports analysis. Contradicting someone's opinion with one of your own is just an argument. An argument that shouldn't have to be started in a game thread.

 

[LuckyShot]

Couple of nice passes the last 2 possessions.

 

[Labinot41]

Good Morning fams

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Put them away

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is getting annihilated by Lavine

I hear what your saying. I really do. Arguements can be avoided and the game thread much of the time gets more raw and less analytic responses.
However the other side is it is a discussion forum. You have to expect if you post someone may respond to it. In fact if it was just an echo chamber by yourself you probably wouldnt come back.

So again, I understand your premise. Anyways back to basketball.

 

[B-Roy]

The Bulls cannot guard the high pick and roll.

 

[HailBlazers]

Ball movement FTW

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Its so weird seeing dame step back and let CJ and Nurk do a lot of the shooting. Seems like its been a while since he’s been super aggresive offensively in terms of getting his own. I kind of like it.

I get that. I know it's a forum, and the nature of a forum is discussion. I just wish people would use more discretion in game threads. We're not exactly debating the Constitution here, lol.

 

[Labinot41]

I have a Bad feeling

 

[Labinot41]

Garbage Call against Nurk. Even Bulls announcers said Bad call

 

[Labinot41]

Dame needs to wake up man

 

[Titan]

It looks like the CJ and Nurk show tonight

 

[Jade Falcon]

Terrible fucking calls in this game. Holy shit.

And fuck you Terry! We should not be this close!

 

[ripcityboy]

Come on. Stay with them.
