Game Thread GAME# 52: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - FEBRUARY 5, 2017 - SUNDAY, 12:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Chris Craig]

So tired of this. Now the Blazers got to head to Dallas to get their asses handed to them by a Dleaguer again.

 

[riverman]

They have 56 rebounds and counting..we had 43

 

[VenomXL]

They definitely earned this loss.

 

[BonesJones]

Westbrook doesn't have any help, and yet he has his team safely in the playoff picture. We have (2) supposed all-star quality guards, and we're a dumpster fire.

Westbrook's athleticism allows him to blow by everyone, and finish over everyone. He's a top 5 player.

 

[ChadWick]

This team really is just a bottom 12 team in the league, with the occasional good game in us to beat a top team.

 

[Chris Craig]

So demoralizing, the Blazers aren't giving us much of a reason to root for them.

 

[Cippy91]

I'm sorry but trade Dame and build around CJ
Sick of watching Dame kill any momentum with these stupid jacked up 3's.

Trade dame because of one shot? Alright

 

[Strenuus]

My only solace at this point is that in about 5-6 hours Football will be done for the year and I can celebrate that.


(Sorry, bones. haha)

 

[Chris Craig]

Olshey needs to make a move or he needs to pack his shit

 

[BonesJones]

No chance at anything better than 8th now.

Like, 0% chance. Not 0.1%, literally 0%.

 

[Strenuus]

So tired of this. Now the Blazers got to head to Dallas to get their asses handed to them by a Dleaguer again.

Oh, no, no, you refer to him as a newly-given-2-year-deal-based-on-whooping-our-ass leaguer!

 

[Chris Craig]

Westbrook is far better than Lillard

 

[BonesJones]

My only solace at this point is that in about 5-6 hours Football will be done for the year and I can celebrate that.


(Sorry, bones. haha)

For someone who hates football you sure talk about it a lot... Lol.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I don't think there is any team in the NBA in a worse situation than us right now.

Think about the shitty teams; Lakers have a decent looking future, Sixers future is looking very bright, Bucks have great young talent, Heat have figured it out, Wolves and Pelicans have maybe the two most incredible young talents in the NBA. Suns have young talent and have even beaten a few good teams this year.

We are stuck with two ball dominant guards who are black holes defensively, a bunch of overpaid value players, a shitty coach, and an arrogant GM. We're also going to have the highest payroll in the NBA next season. I think the only shittier situation at the moment is probably the Nets.

 

[ChadWick]

Trade dame because of one shot? Alright

If you watch this team that's all he does anymore.

 

[craigehlo]

The lack of urgency from the organization is really troubling as a fan. Another wasted season where we haven't answered any questions from last year.

 

[Strenuus]

No chance at anything better than 8th now.

Like, 0% chance. Not 0.1%, literally 0%.

Really? People were thinking we could get 7th and with 2 losses we're already out of it? LOL... people need to be realistic... No way this team is good enough to only have 2 losses the rest of the year.

 

[Cippy91]

It's dame and cj every night. Stop the trade dame or cj talk, you keep both and trade our current players for players that fit the team and are better. The thing that made this team great when lamarcus was here was our three point shooting. Stotts runs the same
Offense with shitty three point shooters whether it's turner or aminu. These guys can't hit. Get rid of anybody this summer not named cj or dame and get some better players to surround them with

 

[VenomXL]

Just another day in Blazerland.

 

[Strenuus]

For someone who hates football you sure talk about it a lot... Lol.

I like to make sure it gets its proper fuck-its without ever watching it... its what it deserves.

 

[illmatic99]

Say what?

What?

No one wants the other players on our team, they are worthless

 

[Cippy91]

They have teammates that can't make shots or create shots.

They have no help.

I don't blame them for trying to do everything.

This exactly. Look at the numbers every night. Dame, cj, maybe plumlee are the only numbers you look at and say "yeah that's good".

 

[Cippy91]

No one wants the other plays on our team, they are worthless

With the cap going up, somebody would take crabbe eventually. League loves 7 footers that can shoot in Leonard. Aminu has a nice contract. Davis does too.

 

[LuckyShot]

I wonder how much better this team might perform if they didn't consistently allow star players to walk into their favorite spots on the floor and take completely uncontested shots. I mean shit, every team in the league doubles Dame and forces him to give it up to a role player, yet we seem to be the only team that doesn't do that to anyone else.

 

[Minstrel]

Westbrook doesn't have any help, and yet he has his team safely in the playoff picture. We have (2) supposed all-star quality guards, and we're a dumpster fire.

The Thunder have surrounded Westbrook with solid defense and rebounding. If you're going to build around a ball-dominant guard, the Thunder are doing a decent job of it.

 

[julius]

The lack of urgency from the organization is really troubling as a fan. Another wasted season where we haven't answered any questions from last year.

If by the trade deadline the team hasn't done anything to address anything, I might throw in the towel on the season.

It's a waste of my time to watch games now.

 

[Trackjack]

Well let see how Neil screw up the draft by trading the picks away. No need to trade at deadline wait for the off season to make trades. Believe this we need to keep our picks this year.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

This again is on the General Manager.

I'm not sold that is so much a lack of urgency but more a lack of competence. But it could be either. He maybe someone that doesn't feel any pressure to do anything. Or the need to do anything. I don't get that. But maybe.

 

[Chris Craig]

With the cap going up, somebody would take crabbe eventually. League loves 7 footers that can shoot in Leonard. Aminu has a nice contract. Davis does too.

Crabbe is an overpaid 3 and done with no defense on a shit contract, and no one will touch Meyers
