Game Thread GAME# 46: CAVALIERS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 16, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

So Layman isn't going to start which probably means he will get even less playing time?

(BRB got to go the other room for a second.)

Scoreboard says #10 is starting.

 

[KingSpeed]

And just like that a winnable game becomes a loss.

What's the over under on CJ FG attempts? 30?

We actually have a good record when Dame doesn’t play.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cleveland is one of the few teams I think would really benefit and would pay a premium to acquire CJ. Unfortunately, there isn't much on their roster that would really interest me in a trade.

Maybe something like Nance + Burks for McCollum + Swanigan (should be a legal trade at the end of the month). Nance is under-rated and would be a good fit at the PF spot for us... but this still feels a bit light for us.

Kevin Love?

Got the bandanna wrapped around my genitals.

Got my yak in the house with me.

Got my Pepsi.

Go Blazers.

And if we lose this game against the worst team in the league, I'm going to Flair-chop @SlyPokerDog.

Dame is in uniform in shootaround.

 

[Scalma]

So good

 

[KingSpeed]

Evan Turner wearing a headband.

 

[Strenuus]

Dame is in uniform in shootaround.

We've known he's been playing for about 45 minutes lol.

The tweet said he was available, not that he was playing. Just reporting what I see.

If there's no caveat, then he's playing with no restrictions.

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Need a blowout to get back on track!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Let's go! Score first!

Scoreboard says #10 is starting.

Phew.

 

[Strenuus]

I like Layman's aggressiveness even if he's missing.

 

[Strenuus]

GOD DAMNIT CJ.

 

[TBpup]

That is an incredibly athletic defensive play by Layman.

 

[Jade Falcon]

We are better than this.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That is an incredibly athletic defensive play by Layman.

He did let the guy turn the corner on him, but the block was definitely impressive.

 

[TBpup]

Not just the block....then the quick jump to almost save it back inbounds.

 

[Titan]

We can’t even properly rebound right now

 

[Titan]

Jake!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Im such a fan of Layman.

I wish Stotts was.

 

[TBpup]

Layman hits a '3'.....promptly gets subbed out.

Don't mess with the 3x5 card.

 

[Jade Falcon]

When Stotts takes Layman out after a 3 and puts Turner in, I want to slap a Walrus.

 

[DDolla]

Stotts wow Jake just made a three then the next dead ball he put ET in. Simply amazing coach.

Don't mess with the 3x5 card.

Stotts be like, "Thanks for playing. Here's your consolation prize: a seat on the bench."

 

[James lamphear]

Jake been playing really good lately. He got a lot of confidence right now.

 

[Titan]

Why not see if layman has the three falling tonight before you yank him

 

[Strenuus]

CJ... you had a WIDE OPEN Dame behind you... the fuck you doing?
