Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 14, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[Jade Falcon]

That was an ugly end to that quarter. I am unhappy.

 

[BonesJones]

We all know the rhetorical nature of that question.

Justin Jackson is exactly the type of guy you hedge or trap on the pick n roll. Very weak ball handler and passer.

But nah, we sag and let him get the 10-15 foot floater which is the only action he's good at as the pick n roll ball handler. He missed, but still.... SMH.

 

[BonesJones]

The thing is. Playing Turner doesn't improve his draft stock. He is what he is. It's almost like Neil is saying, "I don't give a fuck if he's a bad signing. We are going to play him as if he was Vinnie the Microwave and you all better fucking accept it!"

You're not wrong?

 

[ripcityboy]

We lapped these guys last time and now they are in it.

 

[BonesJones]

Yay, gotta get Stauskas his minutes when we could've subbed the better player in Layman back in! Ya know, the Layman that had 6 points in 5 minutes...

 

[LuckyShot]

Zach just doesn't have good wrist action on his jumpshot. Flat wrist in his set point, and weak flick-through.

Yeah, something doesn't look right. He looks like he's guessing how hard to shoot it and hoping it goes in, like he did most of last year.

 

[BonesJones]

That was an amazing pass by Meyers. Underrated passer.

 

[BonesJones]

Jesus Turner. You didn't need to rush that pass...

 

[kjironman1]

Zach looking determined!

 

[ripcityboy]

You're not wrong?

Sorry I meant "soup" stock. I'm making a stew.

 

[BonesJones]

Is that the 3rd time we've just thrown the ball straight out of bounds?

 

[BonesJones]

Sorry I meant "soup" stock. I'm making a stew.

Evan Turner is definitely not soup. He's a kangaroo or something.

 

[hoopsjock]

Huh? We won in OT last time.

 

[BonesJones]

Don't call that you weak ass refs hahaha

 

[ripcityboy]

Evan Turner is definitely not soup. He's a kangaroo or something.

NM.

 

[hoopsjock]

Why the fuck do we have a set to get Turner a 3 in the corner? FUCK

 

[BonesJones]

Why did we have Turner spotting up in the corner and not bringing the ball up?

 

[BonesJones]

Why the fuck do we have a set to get Turner a 3 in the corner? FUCK

Great question for the COACH!

 

[hoopsjock]

GET TURNER OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME

 

[ripcityboy]

Huh? We won in OT last time.

Did we play them in consecutive games?

 

[BonesJones]

Yay, Evan Turner isolations.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I love it when Evan Turner is our #1 option.

 

[VenomXL]

Stop shooting ET.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Sigh. So Denver has broken us, huh?

 

[hoopsjock]

Great question for the COACH!

Nah man, that's talent. The coach runs his system, what does it matter if it's designed for a terrible 3 point shooter to get a 3 point shot?

 

[ripcityboy]

That shot was.... yuck.

 

[hoopsjock]

Did we play them in consecutive games?

No

 

[BonesJones]

GET TURNER OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME

Nah, we need to isolate more. Our assists have been too good lately. Why do you think we won't play our top cutter who has 3 buckets that were all assists?

 

[hoopsjock]

I fucking hate watching Turner play.

 

[ripcityboy]

No

Yeah. That was the game Nurk ate WCS for dinner. For some reason I thought the score was more than that. Probable because of Nurk.
