Game Thread GAME# 42: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 13, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), KGW

[DUB]

20pts..8 boards..2 blocks and a steal..in half a game...nah we wouldn't want that!

Points in the Paint
Us - 34
Them - 24

My feeling is that most posters who want us to trade for a big, want rim protection as a major part of his skill set. Tonight's game would seem to indicate that, for all his good qualities, Vucevic would not provide that.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Pat. Stop shooting.

 

[riverman]

ET doesn't give up on a play ever...I love his motor

 

[dviss1]

Real nice pass by Crabbe. Shame the outlet guy was Turner, and it wasn't one of the spots he can actually hit 3's from.
Still good pass.

He had one more pass to make as Leonard was at the top of the key wide open.

 

[dviss1]

Pat. Stop shooting.

I disagree. There's only one reason he's on the floor and that's to stretch the defense. He has to be a threat. And, he can hit that shot.

I love the guy....he'd open up the court the way we want Meyers to...the dude is a scoring rebounding machine...in Stotts system he's a legit 20/10 big which we lost in Lamarcus

 

[dviss1]

Patty steal!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Pat needs to go. Fucking seriously.

 

[BonesJones]

Connaughton WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

 

[BonesJones]

Connaughton is fucking trash

 

[BigGameDamian]

Pat tried to showboat.

 

[Chris Craig]

Meyers and pat in at the same time...God help us all

 

[KingSpeed]

Cmon Pat

 

[riverman]

Connaughton WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

knuckleball

 

[julius]

Pats new nickname should be "Pass to a guard version 2.0"

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers shooting stepback 3s. Sick

 

[MarAzul]

Damn! That was a piss poor break run by Portland's con job.

 

[BonesJones]

This lineup is gonna lose us the fucking game.

 

[dviss1]

Good call. Bad foul.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Meyers gets run off 3pt line.

Clear path to basket for easy dunk.

Instead Meyers moves back to the 3pt like.

Launches.

Miss.

Not sure what you mean here.

pump fake pump fake pump fake pump fake

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I like this new third quarter Trail Blazers...

Changed my mind.

 

[Chris Craig]

We got this

 

[BonesJones]

If Meyers could make a shot that'd be fucking awesome.

 

[dviss1]

Meyers gets run off 3pt line.

Clear path to basket for easy dunk.

Instead Meyers moves back to the 3pt like.

Launches.

Miss.

Both situations are a losing one.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Why the fuck isn't Layman playing? What is Stotts doing?

No Vonleh, no Layman.....no. He plays Pat instead.

What the fuck?

 

[BonesJones]

Get Meyers and Connaughton out of the game. They're trash. Shouldn't even be on the roster.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pat with almost good plays

 

[H.C.]

I know those are good shots by Nards. They're running him off the three.
But I almost wish he'd attempt to rip the rim down instead of go to the pull up or step back.
They're good shots though, can't really fault him.
