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

ANOTHER Leonard block. Holy shot-blocking bonanza!!

 

[BonesJones]

Layman with a hustle rebound!!!!!!!!!

 

[BonesJones]

We always have the worst angles on entry passes... Pump fake high, one dribble right, hook bounce pass. That's what I was coached in high school.

 

[BonesJones]

Evan Turner finally shows some fire and locks up.

 

[illmatic99]

That is just a nasty finger roll

 

[KingSpeed]

Great coaching move by Stotts giving extra minutes to Layman!

Yup, I was always told the worst angle is from the top, but that seems to be what we try the most.

I think the big guys aren't taught how to properly seal their defenders. Zach especially is so weak

If 'great' means finally doing the obvious after not doing the obvious for so long...

 

[BonesJones]

LOL. I told you guys this crap was coming.

He should've played 18 minutes in the 1st half, not 12. Terrible move by Stotts.

He should play the rest of the game with how he's playing. I bet he won't though, because Stotts.

 

[Scalma]

Layman wouldn’t be playing if Moe was healthy.

Think about that.

I'm sure Mark Few didn't teach him anything at Gonzaga?

 

[BonesJones]

"You guys aren't NBA coaches"
-- "We still can tell that he needs to play Jake more minutes, it's obvious"
"You guys don't know as much as him"
**Stotts finally plays Layman more**
"Stotts playing Jake more, great job by Stotts!!!"

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Great coaching move by Stotts giving extra minutes to Layman!

Don't worry. He'll find himself on the bench soon.

 

[illmatic99]

A super bouncy athlete with long arms and a streaky but decent shot?

That should be our SF of the future moving forward

Oh the irony....

Zach was great at sealing at Gonzaga. He's regressed a lot in that area. But ya know, he's not talented at it or something.

 

[illmatic99]

I'm sure Mark Few didn't teach him anything at Gonzaga?

Whatever he learned he clearly forgot. Tends to happen with our bigs and their lack of fundamentals

 

[BonesJones]

Zach was so much more disciplined as a defender in college. Wouldn't have ever fouled a guy fading away for two.

Big man coach?

 

[hoopsjock]

Fuck, how did Layman miss that?

 

[LuckyShot]

What's this "talent" meme that keeps going over my head?

 

[BonesJones]

Fuck, how did Layman miss that?

He has to miss every now and then.

 

[illmatic99]

How is that a foul on Curry

 

[oldmangrouch]

Would it kill Terry to try something new when it isn't working

Apparently.

 

[BonesJones]

What's this "talent" meme that keeps going over my head?

What is "talent"?

 

[illmatic99]

Hm

no CJ

 

[hoopsjock]

What's this "talent" meme that keeps going over my head?

Stotts apologists keep saying that the coaching mistakes aren't on Stotts because he doesn't have a talented enough team.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck, thats a moving screen!
