Game Thread GAME# 59: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - FEBRUARY 28, 2017 - TUESDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Nikolokolus]

Everybody knows Dame needs to work on defense but holy fuck 34,9, and 11 on efficient shooting and you guys still hate. That's crazy

Who's hating on him?

 

[KingSpeed]

Has this team ever led for 3 quarters and not blown it?

Well we've won 24 games

 

[craigehlo]

When will someone, anyone get fired from this underachieving staff? Sick of this lack of accountability.

 

[noknobs]

I can't believe we held them under 121 points and still lost. Has that ever happened before?

I think it says more about our shitty team not being able to hit a shot.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I can't believe how everybody on this team has gone backward. Jusuf shows flashes but we traded Mason for his ass. Everybody else but the Turnover Twins has gone backwards. Whatever happened to all that talent we were supposed to building from within?

I wish we never fired Kim Hughes, I feel like he had our big men playing better D and running better PnR.

 

[Cippy91]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

He had different big men

Olshey gets my vote.

 

[Scalma]

Commit to Vonleh already God dammit and stop playing "small/dumb ball" with Aminu. Aminu can play when Harkless gets in foul trouble. Sick of his shit.

 

[Strenuus]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

2-7. lol.

 

[Rhal]

24 turnovers to 7. +17 turnovers should lose you EVERY game.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He had different big men

He had Meyers playing decent at one point.

 

[jonnyboy]

Well excuse me.

Agreed. Vonleh needs more minutes.

 

[Cippy91]

Listen I know people in here are mad. I let that shit go 25 games into the season. It was apparent this team was not the same. So honestly a loss helps us at this point. We can't attract free agents, don't even have the money. Gonna need to at least grab one young stud out of the draft. Do something trade wise with other two picks or just finally give meyers away for whatever he can get us. Good news is, Nurk looks very good, Dame and CJ are still good, just need to switch out the guys surrounding them

And for some terrible player who signed in Miwaukee. This franchise feels like it runs like a part time boutique shop sometimes. Like "we do things a certain way" that you won't understand.

Vonleh +18....in a game they lost by 7. Scored the first 5 points of the game....and didn't get another shot for the rest of the night. Way to reward the hot start Stotts/Dame/CJ.

 

[KingSpeed]

Vonleh +18
Aminu -25

 

[craigehlo]

Vonleh +18
Aminu -25

NEITHER is my vote

We are fucked for the foreseeable future. I'm just going to call it like it is. We are fucked. Let's hope one of those three picks can contribute immediately.

 

[BigGameDamian]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

Quicks breaking news!

 

[craigehlo]

Can't we at least give Larry Sanders a try out for the rest of the season?

 

[TBpup]

Can't sign him because we are right up against the Luxury Tax.

 

[B-Roy]

How did Nurkic look?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

How did Nurkic look?

He looks like our third best player

 

[Scalma]

This game was really lost by the second unit in the third quarter when at one point they had something like four or five empty possessions in a row. We miss Turner. McCollum is not a point guard and will never be a point guard, which is fine, but damn, he's not a point guard.

 

[Trackjack]

When one player not stoping Morris than you try someone else. But I give Morris credit he had a great game. Would I try Noah on him hell yea I would due to he stronger than Harkless and Aminu. I just don't know what Stotts is seeing so I will continue to be puzzle with his coaching.

I thought Harkless really played hard on D but Morris hit some ridiculous shots

 

[ripcityboy]

Neil needs to maximize the trade potential of all out players now. Find a package that will make sense and give us traction farther down the line. Maybe even picks past this draft. We can't get younger but the Blazers need to get as many opportunities to get talent as possible. Stop trying to trade flotsum like Ezili....
