Game Thread GAME# 76: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - MARCH 30, 2019 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW

[kjironman1]

Hiccup where? Lol.


It is.

Like i said i can't figure out why? Did you have a bad knee or a leg injury you were playing through?

 

[BonesJones]

We should just get OB to set up for 3vs3 tomorrow night somewhere and KS and Bones could duel before or after.

I need to figure out the logistics on the video. Also need to have a promo banner.

 

[KingSpeed]

Keep tabs on our 3-on-3 thread we just started.

I wanna go 1 on 1

Oh ok. I’m in.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

0:08 - I was kinda screwing around by kicking my right leg through but where's the hiccup? Looks smooth to me.
0:18 - Didn't shoot quick but it looks smooth to me...? haha.

I also love right at the start, "You gotta blow a whistle on that man", "Let em Play!" Apparently, there were some differences of opinions there heh.

 

[H.C.]

@BonesJones
Don't record that slaughter sir.

 

[BonesJones]

I wanna go 1 on 1

We will, and we'll play some 3-on-3 as well. I'll cook you, don't worry.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I thought Kingspeed said we would win this game?

 

[BonesJones]

@BonesJones
Don't record that slaughter sir.

Oh, it'll be recorded alright. I'll label it NSFW.

 

[crandc]

Missed game, got home, heart broke. Thread doesn't have a lot to do with game. What happened? Fatigue?

 

[BonesJones]

I thought Kingspeed said we would win this game?

He did. He also said hed beat me 1-on-1.

Dame can't be on every game. That is why having a "duplication" of his skill set is not a bad thing.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Outside of Dame and Nurkic no one on the team puts as much pressure on an opponents defense as CJ. So yeah maybe in numbers they could by committee make up for CJ, and Curry is heck of shooter, but CJ’s ability to break down a defense get a “decent” look on his own, on a broken play is still significant.
The people who have said oh their just as good or better without him, I disagree. Sure at times their passing is better, and seth is probably better defensively. CJ is a special player in his own right though, and flat out not even having that option when you need a basket doesnt make you better.

 

[joeBlazers]

Kanter did really well. Very disappointed in Rodney Hood. He looks like CJ lite out there the second game in a row. jump shot after jump shot. nothing at the rim. not challenging drummond. Dame took it to the basket.

 

[BonesJones]

Can someone give BonesJones and I a chance to go one on one? Where and when can we play? We’ll see how good he is. I could be a pro baller too.

You couldn't even hang in my rec league fams.

 

[hoopsjock]

You guys do realize that getting your shot blocked still counts as a field goal attemp, right? So technically even if Bones got blocked all 17 times he would still have gotten 17 shots off, lol.

For the record, Bones could 100% get a clean shot off in an NBA game. If he had the green light to shoot as many times as he wanted he could get 2-17.

Thank you!

 

[hoopsjock]

@hoopsjock is like a freight train in there. heh.

I could also get my shot off in the NBA. I've played in leagues with NBA players and held my own. Nowadays I'm too old and slow to do anything else though and I'd get abused on the defensive end.

You say anything like that and people who haven't played at a high level will be the first to say "You don't understand what level of basketball that is"... Not only is it false, it's also ironic.

 

[BonesJones]

@hoopsjock is like a freight train in there. heh.

Rec League Marc Gasol.

 

[THE HCP]

Obviously... I've played against high level players before. I know what it's like as well as anyone in here.

Tired legs don't really affect my shot. If I'm tired, I still think I could go 2 for 17. A lot of the shots they got were wide open. I don't think I'd struggle getting them off more than the average NBA player and I think I could shoot at least 10%.

Bro!?!? What the hell? Is this real?

 

[BonesJones]

Bro!?!? What the hell? Is this real?

Are you doubting my shooting ability or my ability to get shots off?

 

[THE HCP]

Are you doubting my shooting ability or my ability to get shots off?

I shouldn't have even replied. This will go nowhere. My close friends Josh and Anthony who I grew up with and played in Europe for a decade have open runs in the summer. Last summer's players who joined us included, Tim Frazier, Jake Layman, Steve Blake, Payton Pritchard, Dame, Wade Baldwin , Freddie Jones, Jordan Bell and a handful of mid 20s PIL guys who currently play in Europe. Let me know this summer if you want an invite. We'll see how you handle yourself.

Why cant you answer my question?

You know where to find me. Watch me go 2 for 17.

And for the record, I've blocked Payton Pritchard before. Doesnt mean shit but I bet if I said I could block Payton Pritchard you'd have the same type of reaction.

Im not saying I could hang with those guys at all. Id get burned. Im simply saying I could go 2 for 17.

 

[Labinot41]

Lmaooo. Every NBA player would eat him alive. I thinks it's vastly underestimated how strong NBA players are

Hood had a finger roll at the rim in this game!!

Yep. Classic tired legs game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yep. Classic tired legs game.

Also, Classic CJ would've been a nice guy to have in this game.

 

[kjironman1]

Cannot argue with this!

If he had the green light to shoot as many times as he wanted he could get 2-17.

Sure so could i if i had a green light to throw up 17 shots from wherever i could find an opening. But that isn't what the original statement was.

I've played in leagues with NBA players and held my own.

Video or it didn't happen!

Tired legs don't really affect my shot.

Sure... The only person in the world that has a shot not effected by tired legs. Sounds legit!

Bro!?!? What the hell? Is this real?

It's what we have all been saying but in the end it's all prefaced with "I think...." so whatever right? The Delusion is strong in this one.

If I was getting burned then I wouldn't be putting in that much effort!

Sure. That always gets you a green light to shoot. Are you the coach also?

This thread has been comical to say the least. Got to hand it to the two "Almost Professional" NBA players that play on the S2 3 on 3 league team. I had a good "Laugh out Loud" read this morning.
