Game Thread GAME# 47: KINGS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 26, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Frazier to Kaman!

 

[KingSpeed]

I wonder if Harkless is out of the rotation now.

Good point. What happened?

 

[HailBlazers]

Good point. What happened?

He sucked/was one dimensional.

I wanted that Kaman 3 to go in so bad

 

[Sinobas]

Good point. What happened?

He's only played in garbage time the last two games. And the prior 2 he only played a total of 15 minutes.

He used to get like 20 er game.

 

[LuckyShot]

He sucked/was one dimensional.

I think his aggression just leaves him and he often disappears. He's got that Nic Batum gene but it appears to be worse. He just often looks like he's pulled into his shell. It's too bad because as far as I can tell he's got the potential to be at least as good if not better than Aminu if he can keep his head out of his ass.

Edit: Also, Crabbe and Henderson are taking more and more of his minutes as they play well.

 

[riverman]

Great win! Go Blazers! Playoff team right now!

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Frazier screws up my chance at a perfect prediction. Too much dribbling.

 

[Sinobas]

Early in the year, I thought Harkless was playing himself into a big contract, but that faded fast.

 

[LuckyShot]

Meyers sounds like he's learned a ton.

 

[riverman]

This is true. I'm not knocking our performance tonight. If anything, I'm VERY impressed with Meyers, Hendo, and Vonleh.

I'm simply trying to keep things in perspective, that's all. The Kings are all worn out. Put fresh feet in there tonight, and I think the score wouldn't be nearly 20 point difference.

I had us winning by 10

 

[KingSpeed]

Never thought I'd be so happy about a 21-26 team but I am. This is fun. Go Blazers!

 

[Sinobas]

Ok, so if we make the playoffs, we just have to figure out a way to accidently injure Green, Thompson and Curry then we might have a chance.

The Generals shoot better than that last fews minutes there

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That was a really good interview with Meyers.

 

[BonesJones]

Nothing but up from here! Let's get that 6th seed!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ok, so if we make the playoffs, we just have to figure out a way to accidently injure Green, Thompson and Curry then we might have a chance.

Have Meyers guard them for five minutes?

 

[Sinobas]

Have Meyers guard them for five minutes?

Or we could start Pat Connoughton and have him instigate a fist fight with Curry, and they'd both get suspended for the series.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[riverman]

I think the tactic of switching from Vonleh to Davis to Plumlee to Leonard is wearing out guys like Cousins who have to carry the load every night..tonight it worked like a charm

 

[riverman]

Shoutout to Stotts...he outcoached his old boss tonight

 

[BonesJones]

Looking at our schedule compared to the Mavs and Rockets, and it's very possible that we could be only 2 games out of the 6 seed after February 2nd. May be enough to buy at the deadline, because the 6 seed would give us a chance to win in the first round.

 

[Scalma]

Plumlee locked up Cousins early and then Leonard got in his head and finished him.

 

[HailBlazers]

Shoutout to Stotts...he outcoached his old boss tonight

Props! They were coming off a tough back to back however.

 

[42N8Bounce]

The ESPN recap video is just a series of Cousins missed shots, calling it 'just an off night' for Cousins. No credit to the Blazer defense. The only Blazer highlights they showed were the Vonleh block (on Cousins), and Henderson's reverse alley-opp from Dame. They pronounced Damian's name as "Damon". Come on ESPN!!



I don't care if Sacramento did play a double overtime game last night. The Blazers busted their buts out there and played with great energy. They deserved this win!

 

[Tunchi]

Good point. What happened?

We found out why Orlando gave him up for that 2056 2nd round pick..

 

[42N8Bounce]

If the Blazers can keep this level of energy up, this playoff run is going to be fun to watch.



Houston's next two games are @SAS and @OKC. Blazers play Houston 3 times in February. Go Blazers!

 

[42N8Bounce]

We found out why Orlando gave him up for that 2056 2nd round pick..

I still think free (unless we are a top 5 team in 2020) is a very good price. Harkless is still only 22. I haven't given up hope on him. I think it's more that Crabbe and Henderson have picked it up a notch.

Well that's to be expected when we play these huge media markets who have storied franchises and a national following, such as the Sacramento Kings...
