Game Thread GAME# 46: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - JANUARY 21, 2017 - SATURDAY, 2:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I missed most of the game, but it looks like they must have had active hands and generated some turnovers? If so, I take that as a positive. Maybe their only hope going forward on D is to play the turnover game. It won't work against really disciplined teams most of the time, but if they can't contest shots, it's at least something.

Blazers scored the most points ever in a NBA game and didn't miss a shot.

(Hey @Rastapopoulos am I doing that right?)

The game was awesome. Celtics had a lot of unforced turnovers but still we did our best.

You deserved to see this game KS.....! Glad you got to be there for a great one!

 

[KingSpeed]

Okay. We won.

Prove it again.

Watch the game again and again, we'll win every time.

Maybe the best game of Meyers Leonard's career. Even in his "Legendary" series against the Grizz, he never made 4 straight triples in 1 game . . . plus a couple of sweet dunks in traffic. OH MY!

 

[riverman]

Maybe Meyers has broken through the rookie wall at last.....

If that's true his sophomore slump will last a decade.

but, but, he'll continue to watch film, try to get better, stronger, improve and add to his game...he's got a copy of Ask and it is Given....

I still feel Meyers would really appeal to Larry Bird, Midwestern, small town, close to Indy...shooter with the odds stacked against him.....hoping he sees Paul George as his enemy Magic Johnson and thinks Meyers can be the next Bird! The Hick from French Lick! It all makes sense. Meyers is meant to be the next Rik Smitts of the Pacers

Actually that would mean Meyers is Jermaine O'Neal.

Do you mean Rik Smits?

twas a woman who drove me to drink....never remembered to thank her.....WC Fields

 

[riverman]

Actually that would mean Meyers is Jermaine O'Neal.

but only if you consider his progress in ratio with the speed of his jump shot release...like divide O'Neil by 2.5 and you get Meyers

 

[riverman]

What's most impressive is that Meyers accomplished this without swish3 cheering....I thought that was the jinx all along

 

[Strenuus]

Watch the game again and again, we'll win every time.

hahahaha.

 

[HailBlazers]

Jermaine took a long time to progress, likewise I don't want to give up on Meyers.

You forgot to say, "believe me".

Why did Harkless only get 12 minutes?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

It was nice of Mrs. Leonard to FedEx Meyers his testicles for the day.

 

[e_blazer]

Why did Harkless only get 12 minutes?

Got cut on his cheek and had to get stitches.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Meyers game of his career?

Did his stock just go up?

Good game. Would have been really hard to swallow another one like yesterday after the effort being put forth.

Hard not to love this team. Its obvious they are tight and want to do well. Gonna be a rough day when that trade happens, no matter who is involved.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Won on Paul Allen' bday

I don't "love" this team. They need to move some pieces.

I like the guys as people, though.

As I posted earlier, you notice that Leonard and Vonleh became starters a month before the Trade Deadline.

 

[Dougnsalem]

The post-game interview made it possible to compare heights of Lillard standing next to McCollum. I call it as an inch and a half. McCollum is barely a flat 6-4 and Lillard is 6-2 1/2.

Lol. We rewound it to make a closer comparison....

 

[Minstrel]

Quick, trade Leonard while GMs think he's an unstoppable force of nature.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Not sure but hasn't he been nursing an injury? Also ET was playing pretty well and was playing more SF than usual.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

That's the Paul Allen I miss. Dude looked Portland before it was in to look Portland.

 

[Scalma]

I think that's just coincidence. Btw Leonard isn't starting, and Davis was out.
