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

[Jade Falcon]

Olshey looks pissed, never seen him so demonstrative during a game.

Good. I'm glad he's pissed. This should be a serious wake up call to him.

 

[riverman]

He's seemed this way all season, doesn't have that same spring in his step.

Meyers got paid way more than him...that has to sting

 

[KingSpeed]

It's fucking ridiculous

Pat is continually getting burnt by Jodie fucking Meeks

Meeks is good

 

[Nikolokolus]

Pat playing makes me wonder if Crabbe is on the block? Maybe they need to see if he can fill part of the shooting void if he left?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

CJ, Connaughton,Turner, Leonard and Davis are on the floor right now. Turner about to go to the line to make it a tie game.

If I wasn't watching it, I would have never believed it.

 

[dviss1]

Damn that fan was Hot in Mase's replay.

 

[Scalma]

Connaughton couldn't beat a center off the dribble or get open off a screen. It's crazy how a guy so unathletic and undersized is in the league.

 

[riverman]

I think it's a Patty C firesale that's flopping...last chance to showcase ...the 15th is two days away

 

[SlyPokerDog]

BRB, going to take a quick snow bong break.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pat playing makes me wonder if Crabbe is on the block? Maybe they need to see if he can fill part of the shooting void if he left?

No. Pat is playing becaus Harkless is out and Crabbe moved into starting lineup. Pat is next in line to take Crabbe's bench minutes.

 

[dviss1]

BLAZER BALL!!!

 

[H.C.]

Why does Ed Davis look four steps to slow?

IDK but next time he does a power dribble with his head down.
Instead of doing it with his head up so he can see Nards wide open under the rim.. I'm going to freak.

 

[BonesJones]

Meeks is good

You think Meeks is good? Lol

 

[DUB]

Meyers got paid way more than him...that has to sting

Davis seemed to come back from summer heavier than last season. I wonder if it is muscle or fat? Do NBA teams do skinfold tests?

 

[dviss1]

EXCELLENT DEFENSE CJ!

 

[KingSpeed]

Connaughton couldn't beat a center off the dribble or get open off a screen. It's crazy how a guy so unathletic and undersized is in the league.

Connaughton is one of the most athletic guys in the league. His whole rookie class voted so.

 

[dviss1]

Selfish but lovely CJ.

 

[DUB]

Pat playing makes me wonder if Crabbe is on the block? Maybe they need to see if he can fill part of the shooting void if he left?

I don't think it's as complicated as that; Harkless is out, Crabbe is taking his minutes, Pat is next in the rotation, and is taking Crabbe's minutes.

 

[riverman]

Davis seemed to come back from summer heavier than last season. I wonder if it is muscle or fat? Do NBA teams do skinfold tests?

Ed loves to eat, but lethargy is contagious and I just think he's uninspired overall...he was my favorite bench player last season..hopefully the funk will pass..he can be a double double guy

 

[KingSpeed]

You think Meeks is good? Lol

Yes

 

[dviss1]

Connaughton is one of the most athletic guys in the league. His whole rookie class voted so.

All he can do is jump bro... He's not quick or agile...

 

[julius]

This team is so randomly inconsistent.

 

[dviss1]

DAYUUUMM PLUMS!!

 

[BonesJones]

All he can do is jump bro... He's not quick or agile...

And he doesn't even use his vertical.

 

[KingSpeed]

Meeks shoots 40% from three and 90% from the line. He's a good player, Bones.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I absolutely hate Plums reverse dunks. They terrify me....and not in a good way.

 

[BonesJones]

CJs getting a lot of deflections.

 

[BonesJones]

I absolutely hate Plums reverse dunks. They terrify me....and not in a good way.

He almost never misses them

 

[dviss1]

Pump fake and drive Crabbe!! STOP SETTLING!

 

[Jade Falcon]

He almost never misses them

But he's so unstable when he goes up for them.
