Game Thread GAME# 65: BLAZERS @ SUNS - MARCH 12, 2017 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), KGW

[Strenuus]

from 18 to 3...

What was the score when we had a 21 point lead after 3? 9? Yip!

 

[DUB]

Well, we played atrociously in the 3rd, outscored 16 to 29; but at least we fought hard, and kept the lead.

 

[PDXFonz]

Which is strange because we have a fairly large jewish community here.

Or because the League has looked to become more progressive as far as following societies direction (Moving all star game, first female coach in Male American pro sports, etc...) and Portland is one of the more progressive cities in the country in that regard.

And we also have two very well spoken captains whom both are active in their community and well respected by their peers.

I almost don't buy the idea that the NBA hates us. They are good business men and that sounds like a bad business decision. The only reason I could think of is if they really don't like PA.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame has 21 shots. CJ has 15. No one else has more than 7.

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers is like that kid that walks in while you're playing pickup and you look at him and think "that dude is gonna injure somebody"

That'd be Nurk. But that's because he knows how to play basketball.

I metaed the shit out of your joke. lol.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Phoenix has some solid pieces for the future. Lot of young dudes.

 

[Cippy91]

Jimmy Butler? maybe?

 

[Cippy91]

That'd be Nurk. But that's because he knows how to play basketball.

I metaed the shit out of your joke. lol.

Yeah you did. Nurk would fuck you up just from being so big but he is skilled. Meyers would fuck you up because he sucks, probably step right under you while you are shooting a jumper or would slap the shit out of you while driving

Woah, Hurd is IN the internet?!

 

[B-Roy]

Why is Hurd talking about twitter gifs that no one has ever heard of?

 

[DUB]

Fancy stuff by CJ!

Hey, I've seen the gif he's talking about !

 

[Sinobas]

20 point leads mean literally nothing for this team.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Farewell lead. I hardly knew ye.

 

[Strenuus]

RIP the 18 point lead.

This is WAY too common.

 

[Strenuus]

I'd love a stat seeing what team has given up the most 10+ point halftime leads. We have to be the leader in the clubhouse.

 

[B-Roy]

It's hard to believe Meyers Leonard is an NBA player. It's even harder to believe someone gave him a 4 year guaranteed contract.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Without Dame our only play has been "Let Meyers hand the ball off or find someone open with 5 seconds left from the high post."

 

[A$AP Meyers]

This team wants to make the playoffs but can't keep a 20 point lead at home against a team playing on an overtime back to back, and then can't sustain a 16 point halftime lead against a bottom 3 team in the NBA. Come on fellas.

 

[DUB]

CHIEF!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I know you're joking but, smh bruh lol

 

[LuckyShot]

Good thing Stotts ditched that whole idea of mixing up our defense on pick and rolls. We do much better when we just let teams attack us 2 on 1 from the top of the key.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This team must be the most frustrating Blazer team I've ever watched.

 

[Sinobas]

Stotts mentioned the fans telling Aminu to stop shooting, they must read this board.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu is so good

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I know you're joking but, smh bruh lol

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Jimmy Butler? maybe?

Bu-bye C.J?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Lol we're losing

This team is a joke
