Game Thread GAME# 55: HAWKS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 13, 2017 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

A live game is all about cheering and swagger.....in between games folks can analyze the shit out of the game but wait till the buzzer rings at least...I appreciate Kingspeeds efforts to cheer the team during games...!

Cheering the team is fine. We all do it. Fuck, I yell in cheer when anyone buries a 3.

But being blind to how bad this team is right now is just fucking dumb.

I mean, Tunchi was constantly negative, but I haven't EVER seen King say ONE criticism of this team, when it is VERY well warranted.

It's pure homerism, and it's pretty obvious.

 

[LuckyShot]

Then say 10 next time, and not add 11.

Does this game count as one of those 10 or 11?

 

[KingSpeed]

Then say 10 next time, and not add 11.

I did. I said 10-11 games. After all, we have half a win tonight. But really. Shit the fuck up. How do I personally attack you without getting banned? Cuz that's what I want to do. I really hate you. To the core.

We are the greatest every year. Championship caliber. Right now. Aminu is the greatest

 

[LuckyShot]

Barkley still thinks you can't win a championship with jump shooters, even though golden state is probably one the greatest teams of all time. He's an idiot stuck in the past.

As for the Blazers specifically, I doubt he's ever watched a game, even the ones on TNT.

Shaq isn't even worth mentioning.

All GS proves though is that you can win with jump shooters if you have enough of them and they're all very very good at it. I think what Barkley says about jump shooting teams still has some merit. It's tougher to score consistently when you don't get yourself easier shots as often.

Shaq is just dumb, but he occasionally says something funny.

 

[Cippy91]

Tunchi was a special one. He warned us, we were just too amazed with our over achieving. Problem was he was an asshole about it.

 

[Strenuus]

Does this game count as one of those 10 or 11?

haha it counted as neither. It's gotta be a completed game, silly goose.

The Warriors won ONE championship with jumpshooters and only because TWO of Cleveland's Big 3 didn't play. When the Cleveland was healthy, GS choked. The game (7) boiled down to Curry shooting a three with Kevin Love on him and Curry missed. Jumpshooting teams don't win when the pressure is on. Even in the title GS did win, neither Curry or Klay won Finals MVP. The Jumpshots don't fall when the pressure is on.

This sucks for you dude....not the way I relate to the team at all...enjoy Howard bricking a 3 or Millsap getting shut down by Aminu...that's a choice.

There you go.

 

[Darkwebs]

5-point possessions are nice!

lol. That might be the greatest question ever posed on the internet.

Damian Lillard has made a 3-pointer in 35 straight games, the 2nd-longest single-season streak in team history (41-Cliff Robinson, 1995-96).

Oh knock it off. I enjoy a win as much as anyone here, and I always approach games expecting them to at least make an effort.

But I'm also realistic about our problems. I don't try and ignore them by attempting to justify shitty playing with bullshit statistics that have no bearing on overall performance.

Damian Lillard's 35 straight games with a 3-pointer represent the 3rd-longest streak in the NBA this year (41-Ilyasova, 37-Harden).

 

[LuckyShot]

haha it counted as neither. It's gotta be a completed game, silly goose.

Just wondering. You could read the "10-11" as "ten to eleven" as in we are working on 11 at the moment, instead of "ten or eleven", right?

 

[riverman]

Vonleh with 4 fouls...might see Layman in this game after all

 

[Nikolokolus]

Chuck did have one good point. "Do Lillard and CJ make anyone around the better?" I'm not saying they actively hurt anybody, and there's definitely some stiffs around them, but it's food for thought.

 

[illmatic99]

Noah will not get a 2nd NBA contract.

Horrible player

 

[riverman]

It's a game ...not a problem..

I have criticized the team. You don't pay attention.

In my head, only completed games count on things like that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Exactly!!

 

[Cippy91]

This organizations love fest with Meyers fucking us in the ass. This dude is worth nothing in the market

 

[Strenuus]

It's a game ...not a problem..

But it is a problem within the game... is it not?

 

[Scalma]

Meyers really taking advantage

 

[LuckyShot]

Noah will not get a 2nd NBA contract.

Horrible player

If Meyers got this far, Noah will.

 

[riverman]

I have...he even quit once for several hours...KS is an emotional fan...balance....game threads suck when they morph into bitch fests...makes me feel like I'm in a Knicks board sometimes

 

[LuckyShot]

I'm just fucking with you.

Who the FUCK are they supposed to make better?
