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

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 %.

Jake is in a huge slump and is still a much more efficient player than Turner.

Keep making excuses for ET struggling when he's been bad his whole career.

If that answer has to be explained, it probably wouldn't make sense. Maybe @BonesJones has the patience to explain floor spacing and the types of shots it creates and how that changed the moment Kanter arrived.

 

[Jade Falcon]

God, Turner is so fucking bad. Jesus Christ.

 

[BonesJones]

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

Bashing? We're telling it like how it is. We're discussing basketball. Because we're killing a Bulls team that'd struggle to beat a G-League team, we should be anointing ET Most Improved Player because of REB%?

Haha, cmon King.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

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)

Im good with that too.

 

[BonesJones]

Simons!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Simons giving us a sneak peak

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Get it rookies!!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

20 games over .500

 

[hoopsjock]

Way to take care of business guys! This was such a weird game for a team like the Blazers.

 

[julius]

Really liked what Simons did, albeit not against great competition. I really wished he had gotten a dunk though. Good win. Thankfully no one got hurt.

 

[James lamphear]

Well the negative is they got 16 offensive rebounds we have to shore that part up with Nurk out.

 

[LayneStaley]

Simons has an interesting release.

 

[TBpup]

They did what they needed to do...Chicago is TURBLE. It gets tougher the rest of the trip. Good start.

 

[joeBlazers]

First time seeing Simons shoot it like this. He will be fun to watch.

 

[twobullz]

I don't know if they could have served up a better opponent to start this road trip and for the first game after loosing Nurk. Going to get tougher from here.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I want to see more of Trent going forward, and less of Turner. Any chance that could happen?

 

[DDolla]

Now is the true test on Friday and Saturday

 

[kjironman1]

I think its good to have him out there if they’re trying to build for the post season, he’s gonna have to get chemistry with other guys.

Sure if this was anything like a real game. But this is was not anything like a real game.

 

[joeBlazers]

If it gets tougher ... just bring on Anfernee Simmons ... ha ha ha ...

[Scalma]

Can stotts finally stop with the ok let’s get Meyers a run experiment please thank u

 

[joeBlazers]

We aren't paying Trent enough ...

I want to see more of Trent going forward, and less of Turner. Any chance that could happen?

 

[twobullz]

I want to see more of Trent going forward, and less of Turner. Any chance that could happen?

I personally want to see more of Simons and none of Jake. Any chance that could happen?

 

[joeBlazers]

What's the FA situation of Curry and Rodney? Didn't Curry sign for 2 years?
Can Simmons and Trent fill in, if those two aren't resigned?

 

[James lamphear]

Positive 6 players in Double figures 70 points off the bench and 30 assist.

 

[crandc]

Simon's has skills, should get some chances with team short handed.

Just what they needed. I don't care if Chicago is shitty. TjeT are still an NBA team. Easy win helps team get confidence back.

 

[julius]

Wait, no Wheels again? Is he no longer traveling with the team?

 

[DollaBel]

Woo

 

[Titan]

Well I am glad we beat Rolo and the G’s. Go Blazers

 

[James lamphear]

P

That will decide in the off season.
