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

[KingSpeed]

Maybe you have some dirt on those rose colored glasses that managed to lineup right in front of every Celtic shooter.

How about the time we won IN Boston, by the way?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland leads Atlanta in bench scoring, 34-12. Portland reserves have outscored the opposition in 7 straight games entering tonight.

 

[Strenuus]

Wow... we're 4-23 when trailing after 3.

 

[BonesJones]

I want Dame to sit a few games.

If he's injured, he needs to rest.

If he's dogging it, all the more reason.

Either way, if he's not carrying the offense, he's actually a liability out there with the way he's playing defense.

We have the all star break soon so..

 

[Cippy91]

how long has it been since Dame was the best player on the floor?

You wanna know why we keep losing? Look no further

Even when dame was playing elite level, we were still losing games early in the season. It's most definitely everybody else not named dame or
Cj

 

[Nikolokolus]

Olshey? Yeah he is. We lost a bunch of games on last possessions.

And they've won a few that way too, and every team wins some and loses some on tossup games. The record lines up pretty damn close to what it should be based on points differential.

Fact is, when you play as bad on defense as this team has most of the year, they've pretty much earned their record.

It would be nice if we had a legit pick-and-roll Big for him to play on. But since Meyers won't do it.......

I'm gonna bet $10 that Dame plays better the second Meyers is off this team.

 

[BonesJones]

I mean, if you want to ignore the continuous bad defense and pick out a game where we gave up over 120 as a good thing then go ahead.

 

[KingSpeed]

We've only trailed after 3 quarters 11 times?? That's what I take from that stat. That means most of the time we lead after three! Sounds like the 4th quarter is a big problem.

 

[BonesJones]

Vonleh got a block. Were a good defensive team now.

LOL.

Were 4-23 when trailing after 3 quarters.

 

[KingSpeed]

You're ignoring all the times we play good defense. Like tonight!

 

[KingSpeed]

LOL.

Were 4-23 when trailing after 3 quarters.

They just said 1-10 on TNT. Your stat makes more sense.

 

[Strenuus]

Huh? I'm confused... I just posted a stat that we're 4-23 when trailing after 3.

How is that 11 times?

 

[KingSpeed]

TNT just said the record is 1-10.

 

[KingSpeed]

Maybe they meant at home?

 

[BonesJones]

Sorry 54 games is a lot bigger sample size than 1 game.

They just said 1-10 on TNT. Your stat makes more sense.

You're delusional if you really think we lead after 3 in 80% of our games.

 

[Strenuus]

TNT just said the record is 1-10.

lol that makes no sense. Bad TNT! Bad!

 

[BonesJones]

Maybe they meant at home?

Maybe.

 

[Cippy91]

Must be killing dame that plums isn't on the floor. Meyers just sits outside the theee point line going 0 for 6, plums is active, dame loves finding the roll man

 

[B-Roy]

It's 1-10 at home.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I just checked the box score and Leonard is 1-6 and 0-5 from three. I wouldn't want to watch this if I could. Bring McMillan back, yuck. And then fire him again, just get rid of Stotts.

 

[Darkwebs]

Leonard shooting 0 for 6 from downtown. His nickname would be the "Donut Man" if Felton didn't already have claims to it.

 

[Strenuus]

I am having this really, really sad reality that we're going to have to have Meyers here all 4 years of this contract.

That just hurts me to the very depths of my soul.

 

[julius]

Is it too late to send Meyers Leonard to Denver as an apology from Paul Allen for the superbowl?

 

[BonesJones]

Leonard purposely tanking any chance he had of being traded.

He really loves Lake Oswego.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sorry 54 games is a lot bigger sample size than 1 game.

You're delusional if you really think we lead after 3 in 80% of our games.

Dude. It wasn't me. It was TNT. I was saying it didn't make sense.

 

[Strenuus]

It's 1-10 at home.

That makes more sense.

 

[Jade Falcon]

0-6 and 4 fouls.

Meyers Leonard, ladies and gentleman. Glad to see he's using this opportunity to establish himself in absence of Plums....

No you weren't..
