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

[LuckyShot]

Ever think Dame dreams of what he could be if he actually was to join Lebron? I mean think of the numbers and accolades he’d receive. He’d move from 2nd tier to first tier.

Dame needs to open his eyes and realize there's better coaches out there.

 

[Rhal]

While i'm not panicking at all, I kind of expected this loss for reasons I posted earlier, the team looks out of sync when it comes to the do or die moments. Thats on Stotts because that comes down to coaching and "muscle memory" and if we are that out of sync then its Stotts job to coach that out of the players and he isn't doing that.

 

[Scalma]

make a trade olshey. Stop sitting on your ass and doing nothing. Fucking trash

Lol good one.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

make a trade olshey. Stop sitting on your ass and doing nothing. Fucking trash

Yes! Because we don't have enough talent! Kings have so much more! Let's get their GM!

 

[DDolla]

Lets talk about trade.... what can we get for CJ?

Team looked like they expected this loss too. Funny that.

If Dame requested a trade I would not blame him a single bit and honestly I’d be happy for him

He deserves it. He doesn’t owe shit to this city or organization. He’s put everything he has into it and they invested in Meyers Leonard Moe Harkless and Evan Turner. Embarrassing.

Dame would never do it because he’s so loyal but honestly I wish he would. Send him somewhere he actually has a chance. He deserves it.

 

[Blazer4ever]

OK, On to the next game

 

[ehizzy3]

Who pissed iman off so much? I missed the first 3 quarters

That play by stotts was so bad. It was like he said look for the lob, if it’s not there just have dame run until he’s open and pass it to him no matter.

 

[TBpup]

Marmoset?

From now on, Stotts's M...M...M...moves shall now be known as Marmoset. Good call @oldmangrouch

Can't call him Moron, can't call it Moran....because that is one of the assistants.

 

[Scalma]

“Look, were fifth in the best conference in the world.” - Olshey right now.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk with 6 points...lazy bastard

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Only if Stotts goes with him.

 

[Rhal]

It's gonna be a long while until we're a true contender.

Trade CJ, get ET and Meyers off the team. Surround Dame with actual talent.

Oh, and a better coach.

I don't think we trade CJ this year unless we get a great offer. He is in a giant slump and his value probably hasn't ever been lower, I think we explore a trade for him in the off seasons. ET needs to go but I still wouldn't give up assets to get him off the team just cut his minutes and hope that next year his giant expiring makes a team want him for FA space that year.

I don't feel sorry for him. He's a millionaire. He will be fine

 

[Sheldon Shape]

"Nurk just needs to play better to get shots. "

 

[illmatic99]

I don't understand how CJ has regressed this far, literally no reason for it. Dude has a good head on his shoulders, and is surrounded by hard workers, etc etc.

Maybe he just wants his own team, but this game was alarming. He looked like he was just going through the motions.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Lol, that doesn’t make any sense.

His entire life is basketball. He’s clearly a competitor. I guarantee you it is driving him insane knowing this team will never contend

 

[TBpup]

Hurd is trying to be nice and calling it back-to-back "breakdowns" on two of the final plays.

I'd like to know what he really thinks.

 

[Rhal]

Nurk with 6 points...lazy bastard

Against a sacramento team that hemorrhages points to the Center position. He just looked dead tired the entire game, I don't think we can count on him for over 30 minutes a night every night because he just isn't conditioned to be able to do that.

 

[Boise Blazer]

We simply have to make a move this year at the deadline. It's not about this game or even this year. By choosing not to make a big move after last year's sweep in the playoffs if we don't make a move this year we have essentially wasted a year of Dame's window and it just snowballs from there the longer we wait. I would be so happy with the second round at this point which is kinda sad.

 

[TBpup]

Layman with the 3rd most points....in the 6th most minutes with the 4th most shots.

Hello Terry....take notice.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Some random stats - CJs 2 for 14 fg was the 17th worst shooting night all time for a Blazer (14 or more attempts).



Ugh. Well, the good news is that he has it in him to shot worse. He once went 1 for 14. So there's that......

While a move would be nice, I don't want to end up mortgaging the future for now when unless its a blockbuster trade we aren't going to contend for a title this year. The Pelicans essentially did that with the Cousins trade and that might end up biting them in the ass hard.

And then you always have to have one MFer who says "I'd be happy if Dame asked for a trade".

Stupid post.

Nurk with 6 points...lazy bastard

In his defense they hardly went to him tonight. He was double figures in rebounds. I give Sac credit they play him tuff when he one on one but they definitely didn't play thru him

 

[hoopsjock]

I seriously hope there is a fight. Maybe something like that can get this team to get a little toughness.

 

[Chris Craig]

What is his fucking problem

 

[illmatic99]

What is his fucking problem

Apparently got into it with the Blazers security guy
