Game Thread GAME# 51: BULLS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 31, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

I like to look deeper than simplistic facts. Usually you do too.

He’s been shooting it above average every month. You can pick out bad stretches for any shooter. There are very few, if any, that go 4-10 every night.

Of course. But that is actually my point. The guy was a big part of that win last night. He was a big part of the win in OKC. He has played solid defense on players that have given Nurk fits.
The original statement was i just don't think giving up Aminu in a trade for Mirotic would be good if they could go another route i would like it much more.
Mirotic is hitting 42% from 3 right now. I have not gone back and looked at streaks. So there might be some. No question the guy hits shots. The biggest difference is he hits mid range also. He can score and his 2pt% is sitting at 52%. He smokes Aminu in scoring categories no question. But people also know he doesn't really defend at the same rate. I would like to have both personally.

I'm not picking out a bad stretch. I'm looking at the latter half of his total games played this season. His past 20 games vs his first 17.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Isn't Meyers 'questionable' for every game?

Ok, that's just mean.

Funny sure, but still mean.

BNM

 

[DDolla]

No Mercy... Let’s Go Blazers!

 

[Mr. Robot]

what an asshole

Yeah and I’m saying his percentages have been above average every month of the season.

[tlongII]

That sounds like an impending trade.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Should I know what a "Zipser" is? Was that the hot new toy this past Christmas season?

 

[Strenuus]

Either we're extremely lucky in timing this week, or no one told us we are actually a G-league team.

Im afraid Zipser is the new Robot, newer model than me
its quite disturbing

 

[Scalma]

My guess is Utah. They seem to covet him.

 

[BonesJones]

I glanced at this and thought it meant he was getting traded here.

 

[kjironman1]

Here is the last look at Chi and Pels trying.
Again the hang up is the team option for the second year. Blazers should have no problem with this?

 

[Labinot41]

I saw Zipser playing in Berlin 2 years ago, he is a good Player for a 2nd Round Pick. Can defend Guards, Wings and also bigs. Solid Player and plays for the German National team

 

[truebluefan]

Must be closer to another trade.

That being said this will be a slaughter. No Mirotic, no Markkanen and no Dunn.

He can play. A nice 10th or 11th man. Can play SF and PF

Word is Nikola wants his second year.

 

[Scalma]

The savior has arrived

 

[42N8Bounce]

Finally we have proof that @SlyPokerDog is working for the Blazers as a video scout!

It's ruff but I just chew through it.

 

[Titan]

Or, "Both teams played ruff"

Hahahaha!

You'll do fine here.

 

[Titan]

I have a pup at home, who does like to watch the games with me.

 

[LuckyShot]

So is Mirotic going to watch this one from our bench?

 

[tester551]

So is Mirotic going to watch this one from our bench?

Only if Meyers watches it from the Bulls bench.

 

[Scalma]

Only if Meyers watches it from the Bulls bench.

Sit him next to Portis either way.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Sit him next to Portis either way.

I would never wish physical harm on another person, especially a nice guy like Meyers, but this was funny.

 

[kjironman1]

Oh yes you will.
