Game Thread GAME# 48: GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 27, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

Okay, I want 5-8 points out of Meyers in the second half. We need everyone to contribute.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Why haven't we started a "blow the lead" drinking game yet? Are we not Oregonians?

I'm not.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I'm not.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Where's that goddamn pizza I ordered?! ME HUNGRY!

 

[ripcityboy]

I'm not.

Don't worry. You can be an honorary "mosshead."

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Where's that goddamn pizza I ordered?! ME HUNGRY!

I think you meant, Fuck Yeah!!! Free Pizza!!!!!!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Don't worry. You can be an honorary "mosshead."

 

[Jade Falcon]

I think you meant, Fuck Yeah!!! Free Pizza!!!!!!!

No I mean...I really did order a pizza.




....wait, I should have just said "YEAH FREE PIZZA!!!"

 

[BlazerWookee]

I don't get it

Someone held up a sign behind the halftime guys that had a picture of Meyers with his weird haircut and a goofy expression on his face, then a plus sign, then a picture of a pair of scissors, then an equals sign, then another pic of Meyers with a nice neat really short haircut and a smile. Underneath was a pinwheel without the words "Clip City" in the Rip City font...

Halftime
Us - 62
Them - 56

Very close game. Players look relaxed, but focused.

We won both quarters. The first by four, the second by two.

We have done a very good job at limiting our turnovers (compared to usual).

Turnovers
Us - 4
Them - 4

Points in the Paint
Us - 20
Them - 26

For them, it's the vets getting it done.
Gasol - 19 pts @ 50%
Carter - 11 pts @ 80%
Z-Bo - 7 pts @ 75%

We have more of an even spread.
Dame - 15 pts @ 44.4%
Crabbe - 14pts @ 62.5%
Plums - 11pts @ 66.7%
CJ - 10pts @ 80%

Although Turner isn't shooting the ball well so far, he is setting up his teammates well.
Turner - 5 ast, 2 pts @ 25%
Dame - 4 ast

Same story for Conley - 6 ast, 4 pts @ 16.7%

Fouls at the small forward position may become a problem for us as the game goes on.
Turner - 3 pf
Crabbe - 3 pf
Aminu - 2 pf

 

[Nikolokolus]

Good to see Vonleh has fewer minutes than Pat Connaughton.

 

[blue9]

Well, SAC, BKN, ORL, PHI, and MIL failed us tonight. But NYK, MIA, and NOP done good by me!

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Vonleh's not as good at hide and seek as I thought. Stotts found him.

 

[ripcityboy]

Fuck the All Star game.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame says to Conley, anything you can do, I can do better and from further out!

 

[ripcityboy]

Nice!

 

[LuckyShot]

Gasol is annoying as fuck to watch. He's almost the big man version of Harden.

 

[DUB]

Good passing by Turner, and CJ.

 

[LuckyShot]

Jesus, Plumlee, stop fucking shooting jumpers.

 

[ripcityboy]

Jesus, Plumlee, stop fucking shooting jumpers.

Could be worse.... (Aminu earlier in this season.)

 

[DUB]

I'd love to see more Vonleh, but with 4 fouls, he's making it hard for Stotts to give him court time.

It's a pity Ed Davis is out.

 

[KingSpeed]

GREAT pass by Pat C

They don't play the same position. But you knew that.

[Darkwebs]

GREAT pass by Pat C

You sure it wasn't a pitch?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Allen Crabbe has scored all 20 of his points since the beginning of the second quarter on 7-for-9 shooting (5-6 3-PT).

 

[KingSpeed]

 

[Scalma]

I'd love to see more Vonleh, but with 4 fouls, he's making it hard for Stotts to give him court time.

It's a pity Ed Davis is out.

Hard to get in any sort of rhythm playing two 5 minute shifts.

 

[KingSpeed]

MEYERS!!!!!
