Game Thread GAME# 48: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 29, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Darkwebs]

Sweet assist by Dame to Plums, who hangs in air and earns the and-one!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Vonleh's a beast. And he's young. If he keeps this up, he could easily be an All Star in a couple of years.

 

[Denny Crane]

Vonleh's growth this season is impressive, IMO.

Regardless of his stats, he looked awful early in the season and looks like he's getting it now.

It pissed me off when he couldn't finish in the lane, in spite of good looks. Now he's playing with authority.

He's still a work in progress tho.

 

[riverman]

Lot of balanced scoring on this team from every rotation player..I love this style of play

Well said, I agree.

CJ is having a bad game, but literally everyone else is playing well.

Nic looks like last season's Nic.

Like I said in another thread, what we've seen from him this season is the kind of thing that really should be recognized by the MIP award. As it stands, it's the "player who increased their scoring output over the prior year" award, but that's usually more about opportunity than actual improvement.

 

[riverman]

I like that we're making teams play our game for a change instead of catch up ball

 

[dead247]

Good game so far. Obviously two pretty evenly matched teams. Hopefully the HCA gives the 'zers the edge come the final buzzer.

CJ seems like a second half player a lot of the times..I'll bet he ends up with 20 pts somehow

 

[LuckyShot]

Batum wants nothing to do with Aminu.

CJ was terrible in the first quarter, but he has a decent stretch in the second. I think he'll play just give in the second half. Willing to bet he finishes with at least 15 points.

Hornets fans at the game? Wow, Portland is weird.

Nike employees dress up in Hornets gear to make MJ feel good.

Watching on the local Hornets broadcast tonight. Anyone familiar with their female commentator Stephanie Ready? Ooooooooooooooh yeah. As the kids say nowadays, she's fire!

If you're watching either broadcast, she's wearing the aqua blue jacket. Wow, she is hot.

LOL

 

[Strenuus]

Vonleh is looking good this last week or so.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice cherry pick by Plums.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nic is stinking it up out there

 

[DUB]

I wonder what he does in the locker room at half time? Because he's flicked the switch.

 

[BBert]

Wait, the Blazers stunt team is going to all star weekend but Lillard isn't?!?

Dame should go with them. He's done everything else.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

...or before 8 minutes are gone in the second half...

 

[BBert]

Civil Disobedience according to @Denny Crane

Armed militant civil disobedience. MLK would be so proud.

 

[Tunchi]

Lillard playing like shit

 

[BonesJones]

Awful defense by Aminu. He is not a good defender..

 

[BonesJones]

Lillard playing like shit

Tunchi posting like shit. Thing is Dame can snap out of it. Apparently you can't.

 

[BBert]

Is he protesting more rights for people with man buns?

Exercising his constitutional right to take land he wants. It just happens to be in the paint.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Awful defense by Aminu. He is not a good defender..

our defense overall tonight seems bad.

 

[BonesJones]

our defense overall tonight seems bad.

He held the the door wide open for him then fouled him for no reason.
