Game Thread GAME# 49: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 29, 2017 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PDT), KGW & NBATV

But for real that was the best play we could get there?

Wide open 3 from anybody that's not a center is kinda ideal for an NBA game.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

He had to take that. And that tip by Plumlee would have counted if it went in.

 

[Cippy91]

it was wide open. Would you prefer dame hoist up a contested half court shot?

Honestly yes I would prefer that over turner getting the ball on that play. not the open shot

 

[LuckyShot]

I understand he had to take that right there. Wide open. Butwhy did he get the ball in the first place?

They denied Dame and CJ enough that we wouldn't pass it to them. ET was third option.

 

[BonesJones]

I understand he had to take that right there. Wide open. Butwhy did he get the ball in the first place?

Because the first 2 options were guarded and we had no timeouts.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Honestly? Yeah a little.

 

[EGame]

well then either way we would have lost.

 

[VenomXL]

Once again it's a great day to say fuck the Warriors.

 

[BonesJones]

I would be so elated right now if Turner made that shot. *Sigh*

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We are getting better, not good enough but hopefully we can make a trade and right the ship. Really need some more shooting, and some one who can roll in the PnR

 

[A$AP Meyers]

No complaints about that one. The boys played hard. Turner absolutely deserved to take that shot and he should have. He was wide open.

Curry or no Curry that's still a team with a top 3 player and two other all stars who are nightmares on both ends.

 

[Trackjack]

What this team needs to do carry how they play tonight into next game. It was a great effort by these guys.

 

[KingSpeed]

So Turne can make the game winning three at Moda when he plays for Boston but not us. Damn. Well, you gotta like the way we've been playing since the Charlotte game.

 

[BonesJones]

For those asking why Turner shot that shot. Go rewatch that play. He wasn't the first option, but got a great look from his favorite spot on the arc. Can't ask for anything better on that play.

 

[KingSpeed]

Could've taken a couple dribbles and taken a 2 maybe? To force OT? I dunno. It's over but we are playing great basketball lately.

Exactly. Of course you prefer Dame or CJ to shoot it, but they were shutout by Klay and I assume Durant was guarding CJ (Don't remember who was). So giving it to Turner who can dribble/create and made the last few buckets plus got the charge call was the next best thing. Got a great looking 3 and we all wanna throw him under the bus. I get he isnt a shooter, but Dame and CJ didn't do what was necessary to get the ball so we live with it.

 

[BonesJones]

Alright, we need to take care of Charlotte and Dallas. Get to 23-28 and then go on the road to OKC and Dallas. Both are winnable games.

Yeah, you can ask him to fucking make a wide open shot

 

[KingSpeed]

Me too man

 

[BonesJones]

Durant was sprawled out on the floor in front of him. He didn't really have any space to go to the rim.

 

[EGame]

I would almost gurantee Stotts told them to go for the win. No way you wanna go to OT with them when we had a chance to win.

Just do what I did. Hit the ignore button.

 

[KingSpeed]

Definitely. Let's win the next four and put this one behind us.

 

[BonesJones]

Yeah, you can ask him to fucking make a wide open shot

Yeah, but you can't ask for a better shot. Lillard and CJ got shut out and we still ended up getting a great look.

How the fuck am I the voice of reason after a heartbreaking loss right now? Usually I'd be punching shit at this time.

haha. It really is simple, though. Turner had a great look, you take that and live with it regardless what happens. I'd argue we could get on Dame or CJ just as much for not making a better attempt to get the ball and try and create/make the shot.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Can't ask for anything better on that play.

Except not to miss the shot.

 

[BonesJones]

Definitely. Let's win the next four and put this one behind us.

Just heartbreaking, as this win would've probably ensured we'd be 27-29 or something like that by the all-star break.

With the way our schedule is, I still think we go 10-12 games above .500 after the all-star break. That just means we can only afford one more loss in this upcoming stretch of games if we want any shot of the 6th seed and a possible 1st round win against Houston.

 

[Chris Craig]

I just hate that GS gets to walk out all smug like they bested us, when they got lucky.

 

[BonesJones]

I feel like every close game has been a loss this year. I feel like 4 game winners have been hit against us, and games like tonight's have been heartbreakers as well.

We could easily be 26-23 right now...
