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

It's super-interesting to me that a) Frank Kaminsky went #9 in that draft, and b) Danny Ainge offered SIX picks (including 4 1sts) to CHA for the pick (so they could take Justise Winslow) and Cho said "No, we're good with Kaminsky"

c) Winslow is even worse than Kaminsky.

Hurd is literally talking about the Cleveland Cavalier's equipment people right now. Fuck this group man.

I was just getting ready to say that I almost tune them out completely now.

Lillard needs just two more points to pass Kersey for #5 on the all-time Blazer scoring list. With 5 points he is one point behind (10,066 to 10,067).

 

[Jade Falcon]

Crowd sucks

I blame King and Chris.

 

[TBpup]

That's all well and good, but if he's going to have the green light, he should be able to shoot it, period.

4-month Rookie. I'm probably giving him a little time to learn that. I'm expecting 6 year NBA vets to deliver a pass not at his knees as well.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Crowd sucks

They have a really bad tradeover.

Lillard needs just two more points to pass Kersey for #5 on the all-time Blazer scoring list. With 5 points he is one point behind (10,066 to 10,067).

Of course, he may already have those two points, the box score I was looking at hasn't refreshed since about 2/3rds of the way through the first.

Gramps...

 

[KingSpeed]

Zach's shooting is atrocious

 

[LuckyShot]

Zach is just chucking and hoping now...

 

[Lukee]

Napier pass the fuckin ball. Ball hog

 

[TBpup]

Damn.....Harkless WIDE open cutting through the key for what would have been an easy bucket. Guards have to get teammates the ball in situations like that. It's an easy make and builds confidence.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man I hope Zach works on his shooting with a "guru."

 

[craigehlo]

Stotts will never call a time out until the lead is completely gone.

 

[illmatic99]

No energy in the building

 

[Jade Falcon]

GO DAME! #5 All Time!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Kemba's pretty good. I'm surprised Nurk didn't get called for the foul on that one.

 

[Titan]

Congratulations Damian!!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

MEYERS? It's not garbage time yet, Terry! Fuck you!

 

[B-Roy]

Nurk just got benched for Meyers. LOL

 

[riverman]

Meyers in in the first half?

 

[LuckyShot]

So Harkless, Vonleh, and Meyers were all riding the bench because we were looking for trades involving them, huh?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Meyers pulling the trigger like a real NBA player would. Even if it didn't go in, that was an LMA-vintage pick-and-pop

 

[ripcityboy]

Did Balwin suit up?

 

[illmatic99]

We were up 17 in this game

 

[craigehlo]

Guard the 3!!!!

 

[Lukee]

The way Meyers step back from Kemba.. great defense

 

[Darkwebs]

Thank god we didn't trade Meyers!

 

[riverman]

some serious swish3 mojo....Meyers made a 3!

 

[ripcityboy]

I can't believe I don't want Meyers to hit shots. My hatred has gone over the line!

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck this team man. No energy, no drive. Fuck Neil and his complacency
