Game Thread GAME# 74: BLAZERS @ BULLS - MARCH 27, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM , NBCSNW

So...we need to keep Seth and Hood next year.

Prepare to be disappointed and curse the day Olshey was born.

 

[TBpup]

For those who are too lazy to look up actual stats this season.

Jake - 7.4 ppg
E.T. - 6.7 ppg

Jake - 14.4 per/36
E.T. - 10.8 per/46

And please don't get into shooting percentages as even after a slump, Jake is still over 50% from the field with en eFG% 12% points higher than ET. Lest we bring up 3-pt percentages, it REALLY gets ugly.

So ET does produce.....a lot of bricks.

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner will play critical defense on Harden or Russ or KD in playoffs and you’ll understand why we have him.

 

[hoopsjock]

Okay, I looked it up for you @KingSpeed.

CJ's rebounding % is up from 6.0% to 6.3% this year. That's sneaky good right?

MIP!

 

[BonesJones]

Turner 7 assists 0 turnovers

And he's a team worst +2 against a G-League team.

There’s more to the game than shooting

 

[BonesJones]

Convincing Olshey to not bring in an actual back-up PG to challenge him for playing time?

Curry/Hood/Layman/Collins/Meyers should be our bench lineup regardless of if Curry is a good "PG" or not.

What about the assists and rebounds. His defense is much better then Jake also, but go ahead and cherry pick a couple stats that Jake might have better. Plus ET's numbers have gone down since his injury.

Oh, like REB%?

 

[TBpup]

Really?

There damn well better be when you're shooting 15% from '3'. There is a LOT to make up for.

 

[illmatic99]

Can we rest our bigs now? Just play Skal.

 

[joeBlazers]

Where is the $$$?

So...we need to keep Seth and Hood next year.

 

[LayneStaley]

I hate when people Billy him.

You know what I meant

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Simons time

 

[Titan]

Simons so smooth

 

[TBpup]

What about the assists and rebounds. His defense is much better then Jake also, but go ahead and cherry pick a couple stats that Jake might have better. Plus ET's numbers have gone down since his injury.

And Jake's have gone down since his role changed drastically when they brought in Hood and Kanter. Was jut pointing out the error in points.

But please keep propping up ET...it's entertaining.

This is never going to get old.

ET's defense is the most overrated "skill" on this team. I wouldn't even say he's a better defender than Jake.

Evan Turner gets an extra rebound per 36. Yay. I doubt the teams REB% is any higher with ET on the floor over Layman.

Also, Layman is better than ET by simply standing in the corner because the offense doesn't have to play 4 on 5.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Curry/Hood/Layman/Collins/Meyers should be our bench lineup regardless of if Curry is a good "PG" or not.

Im in favor of reducing the rotation to not playing Layman or ET much if at all in the postseason if CJ is healthy.
Dame, Hood, Moe, Chief, Collins, Seth, CJ,Kanter. Everyone else is situational.

 

[BonesJones]

This is never going to get old.

We're really going to miss Nurk's REB%.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Where is the $$$?

ET's bank account.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Credit to Chicago, there's still butts in the seats. A lot of cities the arena would be damn near empty

 

[Jade Falcon]

We're really going to miss Nurk's REB%.

KAT is gonna kill us in a few days. We have NO post Defense, and Collins isn't gonna stop him.

 

[BonesJones]

I'd be fine with this 8-man rotation:
Lillard (36) / McCollum (11)
McCollum (25) / Seth (23)
Harkless (23) / Hood (25)
Aminu (32) / Harkless (9) / Collins (7)
Kanter (28) / Collins (20)

 

[BonesJones]

Damn Simons looks good.

 

[joeBlazers]

Simon ... over CJ?

 

[twobullz]

And Jake's have gone down since his role changed drastically when they brought in Hood and Kanter. Was jut pointing out the error in points.

What do those guys have to do with Jakes shooting percentage? How have they caused him to miss? he has 5 games this month where he has gone 0 fer. He is only shooting 36 % while averaging 18 minutes a game, so not like he is not playing. Keep making excuses for Jake. Anyone who can take of their haters glasses can see ET is not 100 %.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why are we bashing one of our players during a blowout win after a devastating injury?

 

[BonesJones]

KAT is gonna kill us in a few days. We have NO post Defense, and Collins isn't gonna stop him.

Didn't Aminu do a good job on him? Kanter will probably guard Gibson. With how many key guys they'll have out, I assume we'll make the obvious decision to double him.
