Game Thread GAME# 55: HORNETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 8, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

That would be dumb. You guys are acting like he was offered LeBron and Paul George for Meyers and Turner but turned it down. He's been amazing keeping us relevant when everyone here thought we'd win less than 30 games when Aldridge bolted. Davis and Aminu were good signings. Getting Plumlee and PC and then getting Nurk and Collins. Opportunity is there for Biggie with Vonleh (who had his chance) gone.

Your post is a fucking moron.

He fucked up the Aldridge situation.

He drafted Leonar_ and then compounded the situation by extending him for 4 years, 41 million.

He traded Batum and cash for a guy putting up decent numbers in the equivalent of a YMCA league.

He signed Turner, who makes our best players worse, to a contract no one wants.

He simply gave Festus Ezeli money because he thought he was a nice guy.

The jury is, or at least should be still out on Collins.

Im seriously considering starting a "fire Neil Olshey" chant to night at the game.

You should make a sign to get on TV.

I love the Moda Center. I'm seriously considering moving to Portland for a season and get season tickets. I'll prob do it next year.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Off I go to Moda!

Rose Garden

 

[Jade Falcon]

This should be a win. Go Blazers.

This bitch at Pizza Hut was gonna charge me extra cheese. I was like no you don't bitch, I didn't order it.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers trying to guard CJ. Yeah....that will happen Meyers. Maybe in another 5 years, huh?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Domino's FTW. Especially now that I have the "rewards" program? Use that on the road to spend my per diem on pizza and lava cakes, and rack up the "free pizza" points for later.

Trivia time: What do the Hornets and Blazers have in common?

Spoiler

Michael Jordan currently owns the Hornets, but he also owned the Blazers during the 1992 Finals.

Chad Buchanon, Rich Cho and Nicolas Batum

It should be interesting to see how the players react. I seem to have lost some of my enthusiasm after this non-eventful day. Will the players also?. As fans we are kind of stuck in the middle. Don't have a strong team to root for and don't have a young hungry team either.

Let's be fair, no one on this team outside of Dame has done a MF'ing thing. Moe? Nurk? Aminu and Ed? It's not like they're old and grizzled and playing out the string for a check like Vince Carter (who I'd like to have, BTW). These dudes haven't come close to a conference finals, they're paid like they have, and they're still on their first/2nd contracts.

Bruh you always show me these coupons AFTER the fact. SlyTrollingDog.

I'm not sure what you are saying. If you are saying that they should be consistently playing with more intensity and focus, then I agree.

 

[Scalma]

Here's your chance Moe. Take it.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Moe?! Really?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Correct, I was just saying that no one has the right to not have intensity and focus. You could maybe get away with LeBron, Steph, Draymond, etc. saying "I'm coasting now, I'm waiting until the playoffs". None of our guys should be.

 

[illmatic99]

Come on Moe. An engaged Moe is exactly what we need.

 

[illmatic99]

OH GOD. It's Lauren Holtkamp

 

[BrianFromWA]

In a perfect world, this would be the game that Moe "wally pipp"s ET. I'm not holding out a ton of hope.

 

[TBpup]

Worst ref in the NBA on the floor for tonight's game.

 

[TBpup]

Why does Nurk so rarely try to dunk?

 

[illmatic99]

ooh what a DIME by Dame. Good run out, Moe
