Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - NOVEMBER 4, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:30 (PDT), CSNNW

[Darkwebs]

Lillard. It's not a zero on his jersey.
It's a

Spoiler

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Turner airball?

Air ball is his middle name so it's Evan Airball Turner, not Evan Turner Airball.

 

[KingSpeed]

Now we're cookin'! Finish these suckers off and get back to a 500 record with a road win!

2-1 on the road if we win!!!

 

[LuckyShot]

Turner airball?

Caught the back side of the rim.

 

[Natebishop3]

How do you take a team that had so much chemistry and played so well at the end of the year. Bring back that entire team but replace ONE player, and then have them play like complete strangers while this ONE player is on the floor?

I believe that's called a scapegoat. It's not turners fault that Davis is playing like shit and bobbling balls. Or crabbe isn't hitting wide open shots.

 

[H.C.]

Turner airball?

He just doesn't use his legs enough on his shot outside of 15ft+ so naturally he's a poor shooter.
His form isn't all that bad, it's not good... but I've seen worse.. It's all about his legs.

Evan Airball Turnover you mean.

 

[Blazinaway]

Dear Neil,

Get Lillard some HELP

Neil shot his wad in the summer, nothin but blanks left

 

[B-Roy]

I believe that's called a scapegoat. It's not turners fault that Davis is playing like shit and bobbling balls. Or crabbe isn't hitting wide open shots.

It's not when he's consistently a negative on the floor.

 

[Tunchi]

Seriously what happened to Cj this season?

 

[Sinobas]

Stotts is mis-using Turner, trying to force him to be a PG, it is clearly not working, but Uncle Neil paid him 17 million

It kind of IS. Turner takes the air out of the team when he comes in.

 

[Sinobas]

Seriously what happened to Cj this season?

He looks like the CJ from 2 years ago

More Napier

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame might as well shoot for 50 tonight. He can do it.

 

[riverman]

7 rebounds ain't chump change

 

[B-Roy]

Good god, what happened to Aminu? When the ball touches his hand I'm bracing for a wasted possession every time. Why does he keep trying to ISO this year?

 

[Sinobas]

More Napier

I"m pissed at fucking Neil Olshey for signing these ridiculous contracts. We'd be getting better play out of low paid guys like Napier and Layman, and we'd still have cap space to work with.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously. If you name isn't Dame.

STOP FUCKING SHOOTING

Aminu and Turner especially

 

[B-Roy]

Seriously though, why does Aminu keep trying to ISO this year? He was so good at the end of last year just playing to his strengths. Now he's dribbling all over the place, trying to post people up, what the fuck??

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame might as well shoot for 50 tonight. He can do it.

I bet he could do it every night if he wanted. You can't just measure unselfishness with assists. He lets his teammates create and play two man games with other players. He doesn't command the ball on every play like Westbrook.

 

[illmatic99]

Wtf is Aminu doing? he thinks hes gonna back down a great post defender in Matthews and throw in some bullshit hook shot?

 

[LuckyShot]

Yeah. Turner's just a scapegoat.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I'm sure it beats the terrible streams I get. Especially with my equally terrible connection.

I just called them and it was fixed in like 3 seconds. i guess i should have called when i wasnt getting the suns game. but im glad i missed that one now.

 

[Sinobas]

Why did Damian stop jacking up 3s???

 

[Rhal]

We have to figure out how to play with another ball dominate guard, that takes some getting used to, this is the very beggening of the season we gotta give this team some time. If the Blazers reacted like this board does then CJ would have been long gone, Dame would have been traded lats year for his inefficient chucking, Vonleh would have been cut, I could go on but i'm just pointing out reasons that we should remain patient and not overreact to a small sample size.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is the game just so much slower in the East?

 

[Cippy91]

I don't know how anybody is defending turner. Sure it's early in the season but even on his best game so far it resulted in shit

 

[riverman]

Seriously. If you name isn't Dame.

STOP FUCKING SHOOTING

Aminu and Turner especially

Aminu is shooting about 43 from deep, going to have a double double with a steal, 3 assists and a block...he's not been a liability in this game by a long stretch...1 turnover 12 pts 10 boards.....good stats for a PF

 

[LuckyShot]

Crabbe needs to get his shit together.
