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

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has scored 20+ points in all 10 career games against Charlotte.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Aminu with the ball is an adventure.

 

[Scalma]

Team should start fining Meyers every time he passes the ball when there's nobody within 5 feet of him.

 

[riverman]

they can't guard us

 

[KingSpeed]

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.

You listen to the team. You don't even see their faces or effort off the ball. And then you say they don't care. How the fuck would you know?

 

[Trackjack]

Strong game for these guys. Plum and Vonleh has 21 boards together that what we need every game by center and power foward.

Anything can happen

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I give him shit but @HCP is really good at his job. That was cool. Nice job.

 

[Strenuus]

What an ironic statement.

Let your hate go. Be filled with love.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our bench is awesome

 

[Darkwebs]

Charlotte blew us out at their house. Now we are returning the favor.

 

[craigehlo]

Wow, nice active defense. And this is happening WITH Meyers in the game?

 

[riverman]

CJ is really making an effort to play better defense and it's showing

 

[The Professional Fan]

It's genuinely good to occasionally see a solid butt fucking. Go Blazers.

 

[HailBlazers]

That's really unfortunate

Especially when there's one TV in the house! From a basketball perspective I can appreciate Calabro but he's certainly more of the boring/national broadcaster flair.

 

[KingSpeed]

What an ironic statement.

Let your hate go. Be filled with love.

You don't even listen to the team actually. You listen to Wheels. Does he say they don't care?

 

[Trackjack]

There you go keep the foot to the pedal so get some younger guys in the game.

You're right. Doesn't feel fluid. With mike and mike it felt fluid, felt personal. I could relate. They just grabbed colabro and found a cheaper option for the color commentating and threw them in. Mike and mike were established and sure, were homers but that's part of the reason blazer fans loved them. Like I said, felt Moreno personal. These two just don't grow on me

 

[KingSpeed]

How come some photos I post are said to be too big and others aren't. I'm just sending pics off my phone. They're all the same size.

Classic revenge game.

Terry said the starting lineup change was more about changing the rotation throughout the game, and so far it's working. I don't like starting a sub-optimal lineup, but when you only have 6-7 rotation quality players, it makes sense.

It might be because you listened to the Mikes for YEARS. It will take more than a half season for them to "grow on you," I think.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow. Blazers blowing someone out. And yet we barely have a game thread.

 

[craigehlo]

\With mike and mike it felt fluid, felt personal. I could relate.

With Mike and Mike it was a little too personal. I don't think they did much to really break down the game while it was going on compared to other crews you hear on League Pass.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Not sure.

 

[KingSpeed]

44 bench points and counting

 

[KingSpeed]

Yep.

 

[BBert]

Plums needs 3 points to continue his double double streak. Will he get back in the game?

 

[Nikolokolus]

With Mike and Mike it was a little too personal. I don't think they did much to really break down the game while it was going on compared to other crews you hear on League Pass.

Not to mention they helped create a generation of idiot fans who reflexively blame the refs for bad calls.

 

[craigehlo]

Harkless is really efficient today. Good to have him back.

MKG is really good at pulling disappearing acts.

I'll tell you one thing. I do like how laid back Calabro is. I can literally just put my brain on cruise control and have what he says quietly filter through. You don't have the the good stuff of Mike and Mike but you also don't have the time consuming rants. It just takes some getting used too.
