Game Thread GAME# 58: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - FEBRUARY 26, 2017 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

He seems "fake good" to me

Kinda like Kevin Martin or Shareef Abdur-Rahim

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Kobe got PLENTY of love from the refs.

I know, and DeRozan gets even more!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Trying to see how many points we can give up in the paint? Set a record for most useless pump fakes in a game?

I think the emphasis is on giving Vonleh a chance to become a trade asset and hoping Leonard can show enough to be able to at least trade him for someone with one less year on their contract. I also think this is a not so subtle tank; I mean who would give Vonleh and Leonard so much playing time if they really wanted to make the playoffs? (BTW, I approve of what they are doing).

Yep! It's sure a good thing we didn't go after him when we had the chance a few years ago!

 

[Blazinaway]

Meanwhile, Leonard fits in perfectly with what we're doing - namely not playing any defense.

Meyers "tank commander" Leonard doin his job, the one thing he can do well

 

[Blazinaway]

We won!

solid competitive loss?

[BBert]

Because he's big and white?

The way he moves. The way he holds the defender off with his body, while holding the ball out at arms length, then hits the open man or the cutter with the pass. The way he backs in and the lumbering half hook moving across the key. The way he uses the glass. Things like that. Nurkic looks nothing like young Sabonis, but very 'similar' in some ways to Blazers Sabonis. He just needs to add the three point shot (ducks and runs....)

 

[Blazinaway]

Crabbe winning as Oscar again tonight for his flawless role as the "Invisible Man", anybody thinks this guy has any trade value please think again

 

[BBert]

DeRozan has spent the last five or so years earning the respect of the refs.

That's a lot of blow jobs.

Quite a dispirited crowd here on the forum tonight; rarely see it so dead after a game. Lovers are gone and so are the haters.

I can channel some hate, if that would help.

Hopefully we rebuild quickly it's getting bleak for the future

Does Derozen ever shoot under 10FTA against us? I'm not sure if he ever does.

What's got into CJ the last handful of games?
He's been terrible. Not looking to involve his teammates. . . .AT ALL.

This game he was especially bad, just downright selfish play.
Both he and Dame seem to think they are better than they are and can just take on an entire team themselves, hero-ball style, and launch any shot they desire 1-on-5.
And where's the coaching/accountability?? FFS

 

[Strenuus]

Consistently Inconsistent.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Thanks CJ. Thanks Meyers.

CJ just needs to be more consistent with his sucktitude

Maybe our biggest key is Dame and CJ cooperating to fulfill their potential. If they're letting ego get in the way with either one wants to be the hero and do it by himself the team struggles. Before anything else our success depends on them cooperating and playing ego-less basketball

Reports say they were fake chiclets on a bridge, that's why there wasn't much blood.

I was most definitely wrong. That 25 FTA game has just clouded my judgement.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

As usual, you guys don't get it. CJ WANTED to be traded. This is his FU Tour

At a WWF house show when I was a kid Virgil got popped in the mouth and spit chicklets into the fourth row.

Consummate performer, that one.
