Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - FEBRUARY 2, 2018 - FRIDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

And we signed Turner and are also stuck with Vonleh. Fucked either way I guess.

In the end it was Batum for Vonleh...

[Mediocre Man]

You think the consensus is that he's now a regular rotation player to stay?

Not sure. That or trade

 

[BonesJones]

Running him off his spots. Plus, my statement wasn't conjecture. Dallas' advanced scouts scouted him. They didn't earlier. I assume other teams are as well

His struggles in this game are mostly defensively though.

 

[LuckyShot]

Well, when you look at this game like we only had 3 players show up to play, and the other team shot the lights out from 3, it's not as bad...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Get Dame some help Olshey. Make a fucking move stop sitting on your ass. Not for the sake of making a move but for fucks sake do something. Bad contracts we need to unload, talent we need to get. Can't do it all in one summer. Need to start now

I agree, but who, with what?

I feel like this post is a week premature.

and just as I say it,

 

[LuckyShot]

Starting to think we might not win this one, eh?

Gerald Henderson was a floor general for us...he was huge in our playoff success...he smacked Meyers upside the head on court to wake him up....we should have kept him instead of signing Turner

 

[BonesJones]

I agree, but who, with what?

Exactly. It's not a simple situation. It's not as simple as Olshey deciding to get Dame "help".

 

[riverman]

Go Biebs! Somewhere....anywhere!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Jake visibly upset with himself for blowing the layup....c'mon man, act like this isn't the only 5 minutes you'll get all year.


Edit. B/c Shit like that happens when you're mind isn't right.

 

[TBpup]

No it's not. Not with so many horrible contracts. Tough to move.

 

[Lukee]

It's just... I wanna see something different on this team. I really hope Neil'll do something.

 

[Cippy91]

I agree, but who, with what?

Something. Need to start something. We have a log jam of bigs, a few bad contracts, need upgrade at the wing. I am not the GM but Olshey should have some sort of plan in place. Something just to get started because like I said, good luck getting that shit done in one summer

Game over from midway through the first quarter. The rest was just futility.

 

[riverman]

These metric system rims are screwing us at the free throw line.

 

[LuckyShot]

We just traded baskets and killed clock. And apparently Dame's knee?

 

[riverman]

They didn't beat us by 30!!!!!

I miss Henderson.

 

[riverman]

I miss Henderson.

He should be recovered from his hip surgery off season...he was the kind of vet we need with a young team...and he could slash and defend...I could hear him shouting through the radio broadcast..real competitor

To those in the know.....what happened to Wheels tonight? He ok? Scott Lin is a pro....does a great job.

 

[Chris Craig]

I have seen how the world ends

It's round CC....it's round...believe me!

Recurring health issues. Sadly, as he gets older, unless he loses some of that weight, it's not likely to get better.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fucking refs. We had no shot from the tip. 8 on 5......

 

[Mr. Robot]

Blazers played like this...
