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

[BonesJones]

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

So he's a lesser version of Crabbe? And he's burning Pat off the dribble with ease? Yeah, Pat's TRASH.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Plumlee has been garbage at both ends tonight.

Correction, he's a good shooter. Quick, without using Google what else is he good at?

 

[BonesJones]

I'm sorry but Connaughton might be the worst player in the league.

 

[riverman]

Pump fake and drive Crabbe!! STOP SETTLING!

When AC gets too mellow it bothers the hell out of me

 

[DUB]

Vucevic will score over double his season average.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Plumlee has been garbage at both ends tonight.

Dude he's got like 3 blocks.

 

[VenomXL]

They better get their shit together quick. Magic are making it look easy.

 

[julius]

You have to be impressed with how the Blazers seem to be able to make crappy teams look like playoff caliber teams.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dude he's got like 3 blocks.

And continues to lose Orlando's best player, leaving him with open looks.

 

[BonesJones]

It's such a Blazer thing to beat the Cavs by nearly 20 then lose to the Magic. Can't build momentum to save their lives. They talk about turning the corner but they've been pretty much just talk this year.

 

[julius]

And I think this games hows that the team believed they had turned the page, because they beat the Cavs.

 

[riverman]

Vucevic...24 / 9/ 3/ and 2 blocks in 26 minutes...whew

 

[julius]

What is with all the shitty passes tonight?

 

[H.C.]

Crabbe, Shoot the ball.

 

[dviss1]

When AC gets too mellow it bothers the hell out of me

He tends to disappear. He needs to be aggressive at all times.

 

[dviss1]

What is with all the shitty passes tonight?

We're OK turnover wise.

 

[BonesJones]

We have to close this game out.

 

[dviss1]

Plumlee has been garbage at both ends tonight.

Are we both watching the same game?

 

[Jade Falcon]

And continues to lose Orlando's best player, leaving him with open looks.

GASP....you mean, he's losing to a guy who puts up numbers like this:

Vucevic...24 / 9/ 3/ and 2 blocks in 26 minutes...whew

Oh poo. Oh noes.

 

[riverman]

Big bucket by Dame...let's see some Lillard time!

 

[BonesJones]

Feeling like there's no way we pull this game out. Hoping I'm wrong.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Oh. Look at this. The Blazers had a game tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's such a Blazer thing to beat the Cavs by nearly 20 then lose to the Magic. Can't build momentum to save their lives. They talk about turning the corner but they've been pretty much just talk this year.

Losing Harkless has something to do with it.

 

[DUB]

We have a 46-32 advantage in points in the paint. Even though we're behind late in the game, I really hope that Dame keeps attacking the rim, and not jacking contested threes. We're not that far behind, and it's not that late. If we lose because we start chucking up prayers, I'll be less than impressed.

 

[riverman]

gut check time.....this is fun!

 

[Five Second Violation]

Sick block

 

[dviss1]

You see... Damian Lillard is smart. Allen Crabbe was wide open on that break but he knew to go to the rec and get fouled. Should have made the first free throw though.

 

[DUB]

Losing Harkless has something to do with it.

We're really missing his glue.

 

[julius]

This is a game that even if they win, they wouldn't deserve it.
