Game Thread GAME# 50: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 31, 2017 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[SheedSoNasty]

Who got a video of those two dudes on camera behind Holton during the halftime report? One was on the other's shoulders... my wife and I were dying.

 

[Scalma]

If I'm Neil Olshey, I'm on the phone with Detroit about Jon Leuer. This team is hurting badly for another usable big that can shoot and finish.

Oh like Ibaka?

Getting Leuer when Ibaka is available is like going to the sizzler when you have a coupon for an actual steakhouse.

 

[KingSpeed]

That was my favorite game ever. So emotionally charged. Kerr had a good game. We won. There was one or two OTs IIRC.

 

[KingSpeed]

Same. Colabro and Hurd haven't grown on me at all and I don't think they will. It's weird at this point

I love Hurd

 

[riverman]

Sheed would rock the Blazers bench as a big man coach...get in Meyers grill

 

[riverman]

I love Hurd

I don't miss the Mike's at all...love the new crew

 

[Strenuus]

Theory about Calabro and hurd:

Do you think, since Mike and Mike had one year left on their deal to look elsewhere - that if Calabro and Hurd don't work, they re-sign Mike and Mike next offseason? I dunno... just a thought.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hahaha Hurd making fun of Calabro's biscuits in the oven phrase

I like these guys. I think they need to go through a couple playoff wars with us to win over everyone. It's all about developing a history with the TV guys. We had a history with the Mikes. Time to develop a new history.

No. because they do work.

No. Mike and mike are gone for good. Unfortunately. Hurd is corny to me and even though colabro definitely calls great games it's just not the same. For me at least

Sorry but would rather hear a mike story over Hurd talking about real housewives and trying to be funny all the time. Try hard. That's what he is

 

[The Professional Fan]

Whatever Batum....

 

[KingSpeed]

If Plumlee hits a layup (Philly) and Turner hits a 3 (GS), this could be a six game win streak for us. I'm loving this!

 

[rotary111]

New guys are growing on me.

Rice would kill me with his crazy rambling. So funny.

 

[Strenuus]

No. because they do work.

They do? I didn't know we were dealing in absolutes when I asked a theory question. Damn science! :MARIS61:

What about them isn't working?

I still miss them, and hear them

 

[HailBlazers]

My wife who was (is?) a huge Blazer fan can't stand Calabro and hates watching the games now. Sucks.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I miss the Mikes.

Should have let them at least continue to host Courtside and do the halftime report. Just to cut them completely off sucks.

now this I agree with, but I'm a fan of the Calabro and Hurd now....if Rice could replace Jaynes I'd be thrilled

Seems like the Blazers have gagged them from the last year of the contract. Rice on CSNNW after the games would be pure crazy joy. Better than Dwight and Quick.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is a good Hornets team that we are manhandling.

Dwight Jaynes is @Mediocre Man

Yep 100% correct. They were/are loved and it matters. Cutting them off completely was a mistake, taking them off the mic was the biggest mistake though

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Greatest! Hornet! Team! Ever!

(just shows how much that franchise sucks.)

That's really unfortunate

 

[BonesJones]

These refs are weak

Getting Leuer when Ibaka is available is like going to the sizzler when you have a coupon for an actual steakhouse.

One has 3 years left at 10 mil each and the other is a FA next year, who will be asking for 20 mil plus.

 

[Strenuus]

What about them isn't working?

I'm asking that by asking the theory... I never said they are or are not working - just an IF...

Okay, that's somewhat of a lie... At least from people in this forum and others, it's more not like they like - but I don't think that has all to do with Calabro and Hurd.

I personally don't like them because it doesn't feel fluid. I stopped watching the games and listening to wheels every game.

I wonder what the consensus is around the town about C&H? It's probably 65-35 like/dislike... but who knows... I'd be interested in knowing it.. but it's such a subjective thing to ask.

Complaining about the refs when the Blazers are up 20 is weak.
