Game Thread GAME# 44: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - JANUARY 18, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Rhal]

Lillard 17 pts @ 46.2%, 7 reb, 6 ast, 4 to
Batum 15 pts @ 35.7%, 6 reb, 6 ast, 2 blk, 4 to

Batum is mostly shooting over Lillard/CJ he should have 20+

 

[BlazerBeav]

Charlotte has been a real feisty team since getting Batum. Rank right in the middle of the league with some huge upsets over that span.

Maybe so but have lost 5 straight and 7 of 10. Hardly a juggernaut.

 

[Cippy91]

Meyers seems like a good guy but he is just bad at basketball. Plain and simple. The lack of fundamentals he has that most people who don't even still play basketball learned when they were young.

I still get a good laugh when I think back to when LA left and he talked this big talk about leading the team and all this bullshit. I just can't believe this guy has been on this team for 5 years. Yet guys like patty mills and will Barton, tim Frazier, etc got let go pretty quick

 

[KingSpeed]

Has CJ had a good game since Lillard got back?

Yes. A few. I remember a 35 point game offhand.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Blazers are that 5 girl that hangs with the 7 girl and makes her look like a 10.

 

[DUB]

They got a guy here who has to do jumping jacks for the whole quarter to win a year supply of free wings. Kinda funny.

He did it! He must love wings. I bet he won't be able to do it in a years time.

 

[Cippy91]

Down 10 but feels like we are down 20

I don't even think he's that great of a guy. Anyone who makes millions a year, who blocks people on Twitter and Instagram, has got to be a total douche in my book.

 

[blue9]

Yea I will NEVER root for us to lose when the rewards is a 12-15 pick instead of a playoff spot

Getting demolished in the POs is so fun!

About to break that losing streak

[Cippy91]

Even last season when we were in this kind of situation I always felt like we had a chance and could come back, especially with the 2014-15 team but man it just feels like another loss at this point

 

[Scalma]

At least Vonleh plays hard. Leonard is out there jogging, half assing everythung

 

[Nate]

The good news is, in a few years Meyers will have some value as an expiring contract.

 

[Cippy91]

Crabbe's first points of the game.

Exactly. Nobody remembers his two good games last week because he's so inconsistent and this is the normal crabbe. Feel like he's just another player that has so much potential but I feel he doesn't try or care to reach that potential. Just settled after the 70 mil

 

[Scalma]

I don't even think he's that great of a guy. Anyone who makes millions a year, who blocks people on Twitter and Instagram, has got to be a total douche in my book.

Or just super sensitive.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I don't see Vonleh playing hard either - his rebound numbers are weak. Nice 10-0 run to start the 4th. Great fight displayed!

 

[Jade Falcon]

He is so utterly terrible. It boggles my mind that he's not out of the league yet.

 

[trailblazer18]

This blows...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers looks at Plums...

"OOOHH, so THAT is how you play Center...."

 

[Cippy91]

Or just super sensitive.

Can't be super sensitive at this level. That's his downfall. His mind is the issue. Can't pump fake that shit not like his pump fakes were good anyways. One of the worst I have seen

 

[ChadWick]

Lmao this team is unwatchable

 

[KingSpeed]

In warmups, Aminu hit 13 threes in a row.

 

[craigehlo]

This is truly awful. Hibbert looks like an All-Star against this Blazers.

Has a coach ever been fired on a road trip?

 

[JDC]

Can't come back relying on shots like this.

Just dreadful shot quality.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

aminu and Harkles can't hit their threes, Crabbe has a bad game, Vonleh and Leonard give nothing.

 

[VenomXL]

Good God this team sucks

 

[ChadWick]

I don't like our guys body language. Seriously make a fucking trade

 

[craigehlo]

We need 2 interior players via trade. One ain't gonna fix this garbage.

 

[ChadWick]

Also sick of watching Lillard and cj chuck up dogshit looks. But I guess nobody else can score.
