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

[BonesJones]

I never understand this reference. Meyers is soft and weak. That would mean he would be balls right? Balls are fragile and sensitive. Pussies can take a pounding! Pussies giving birth to eight-pound babies. Those things are fucking tough!

Exactly. It's fucking tough seeing Meyers Leonard in a Trail Blazer jersey.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Just lost to the Magic at home. This team is maddening.

Magic= The new Suns

 

[Cippy91]

TRUTH HURTS BOYS

 

[BonesJones]

The Silver Lining in this game could be Olshey leaving Meyers Leonard for a runaway marriage with Nikola Vucevic.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Thanks Tunchi.

I'm not even sure what this means but alright.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

He literally just threw up a 30 foot air ball to cement the loss, after being a ghost in OT against Detroit like last week.

Start holding our self-proclaimed leader accountable. What kind of leader lets his team start the way we did tonight? What kind of leader is one of the least efficient players in clutch time in the entire league?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Did everybody expect this team to do great after a win against Cleveland? I had hope but come on this team obviously folded early this season and decided mediocrity was the way

Sounds like you would do well in our prediction game.

 

[riverman]

This loss is on the players. They started the game down 20-3. Maybe if they didn't do that, they might have won the game. Just saying, spotting the other team 17 points probably isn't the best strategy.

making free throws alone would win this game

He was the only one who showed up at the fucking start . You have a valid point with him shooting poor in crunch time but he has to force a lot of tough shots because who else is gonna do anything offensively outside of CJ?

And yes I did.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm going to the game on Monday and don't really care. Sad.

This team has sucked the life out of me. Finally gave it back with that Cavs win, just to give my life away to the fucking Orlando Magic.

 

[MarAzul]

Actually this team looks like crap most of the time. Play like a bunch of guys that just try too hard except when they don't.

 

[BonesJones]

So I'm guessing the team isn't going to say any more of that "We turned the corner" bullshit? Their words hold no merit. Their words don't mean shit.

 

[Cippy91]

I would do a shit job

[MarAzul]

 

[Cippy91]

And yes I did.

I like dogs

Gut feeling this game will put things in motion regarding trades. Olshey was sitting courtside with Allen and I've never seen him so into a game. He was pissed. And not at the refs. It just felt like the breaking point. I know NBA executives don't make knee jerk decisions based off one game but this team has obviously been in a position to eventually make changes, and I think it's coming sooner rather than later.

Noteworthy: team will be in philly next week.

It'll be Jan 15th in two frickin' days!!

he is a dame hater, has been proven in previous game threads

Fulltime
Us - 109
Them - 115

We had 14 more shots than them, but couldn't hit them.

FGA/M (%)
Us - 39/97 (40.2%)
Them - 41/83 (49.4%)

All of those extra shots, and more (16) came from downtown. Yet both teams ended up with 10 3PM.

3PM/A (%)
Us - 10/34 (29.4%)
Them - 10/18 (55.6%)

Our 3PM/A(%) culprits were:
Dame - 2/11 (18.2%)
Crabbe - 1/5 (20%)
Turner - 1/4 (25%)
Leonard - 1/4 (25%)
Connaughton - 1/3 (33.3%)
Aminu - 0/1 (0%)

We had less turnovers, and gave up less points off turnovers.

Turnovers
Us - 10
Them - 15

Points Off Turnovers
Us - 8
Them - 17

We beat them in the paint.

Points in the Paint
Us - 48
Them - 32

So basically if we hadn't bricked so many threes, we would have won.

 

[Chris Craig]

OK, I guess?

Plus I'm drunker than Damian Lillard

I would think we would be seeing something happen. Can't be losing to Detroit and Orlando at home within a week

I'm just getting started!

My gut said that if Portland made any trades during the season it would be after January 15th.

Headed to Kell' s fuck this

115 surrendered to a shitty offensive team is what jumps out at me, not missed threes.

I'm not. I want him to do well. He's having his worst season yet man, that's just a fact.
