Game Thread GAME# 64: WIZARDS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 11, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[H.C.]

And we get to add Turner back into this soon? What's the word on his hand?

Quick said pregame they were being careful, and he's frustrated by it.

 

[Sinobas]

John wall with 10 free throw attempts at the half...

Why doesn't he just dribble right to the rim every play? The refs send him to the line every time.

 

[Blazinaway]

I feel like I've seen better big man play from him and Vonleh since getting Nurkic. I wonder if they're picking some things up from him in practice. No doubt he schools the shit out of them.

whatever it is lets bottle it up!

Quick said pregame they were being careful, and he's frustrated by it.

Hahaha I like Turner.

 

[H.C.]

70 points at half time.

Holy shit!

I'm just happy they started playing defense and didn't give up a second 30+ point quarter.

man, we got some nice chemistry goin, hope bringin ET back doesn't mess with it

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Leonard leading the team....










In +/- (+29).

 

[LuckyShot]

Held them to 19 points in the 2nd quarter, while we scored 34. Damn that's a whoopin'.

 

[Sinobas]

Aren't you guys glad we didn't trade CJ for Cousins now?

I don't think it will, turner is a glue guy.
portland was playing good on both ends shortly before he went down.

Excellent Defense!

Leonard leading the team....










In +/- (+29).

That's insane. I feel like I'm in an alternate reality or something.

 

[H.C.]

Aren't you guys glad we didn't trade CJ for Cousins now?

I'm glad we didn't trade the baseball player for Cousins.

 

[ripcityboy]

Aren't you guys glad we didn't trade CJ for Cousins now?

I'm sure the Blazers PR department is happy.

In +/- (+29).

Helps to be on the floor at the same time as CJ going off. But Meyers' negative effects have been somewhat limited. They've only exposed him a few times.

He still doesn't know what a pick and roll is.

 

[joeBlazers]

What happened to these underachievers? They just realized they could actually play ball?
The Wizard tried to take out Nurkic and forgot that we have 3 guys who can go for 30 points every night?

 

[Sinobas]

The spurs smashed the warriors tonight. But it was a battle of the benches.

 

[rotary111]

Vonleh comes out of the gate looking focused on offense and snaggin rebounds....and then sits on the bench. Tough to complain when we are up big but I found a way!

What a great game!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Hahaha I like Turner.

I really like him. When it's all said and done, I think it will be unanimous

 

[Sinobas]

What a great game!

Vonleh has had a big pep to his step. His firs year here he seemed timid and passive. But he's a guy that can be a high energy junk yard dog type player.

 

[LuckyShot]

Hope Terry is coaching the guys up. Washington is going to turn up the pressure and we have to be ready to meet their intensity level and shut them down.

 

[Sinobas]

The spurs and Warriors are now tied in the loss column, and the Spurs have clinched the season series.

What a great game!

Do you see him having a future in Portland? We have paid so much money to other guys ... and we have 3 picks in the draft .
We will need to get ride of guys for him to play more.

 

[The Professional Fan]

So many

Vonleh has had a big pep to his step. His firs year here he seemed timid and passive. But he's a guy that can be a high energy junk yard dog type player.

So many unknown moving parts right now

 

[LuckyShot]

He still doesn't know what a pick and roll is.

Because he's almost useless rolling unless it's for an open lob. He prefers to pick and stand at the 3 point line. But that's what I was saying earlier about him learning from Nurkic. I feel like I've seen him attempt to roll to the rim more and finish in the paint than he did the entire first 2/3 of the season.

 

[H.C.]

Hope Terry is coaching the guys up. Washington is going to turn up the pressure and we have to be ready to meet their intensity level and shut them down.

I hope so too, but Washington did have to come from behind last night to force OT last night.
They might run out of gas on the second night of a back to back

 

[ripcityboy]

Don't Gatoraid commercials go away now that Dame is with Poweraid?

 

[42N8Bounce]

64% fg
70 points.
Who needs defense with those kinds of numbers?

 

[BigGameDamian]

We haven't won anything yet guys.

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ still got some heat left.
