Game Thread GAME# 82: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 12, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 (PDT), ESPN & KGW

[Chris Craig]

Vonleh with 19 boards...wow

I want to see that in the playoffs

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum is the NBA's best free throw shooter for 2016-17 (91.2%). He is 2nd Trail Blazer to win that honor (J. Crawford-92.7%, 2011-12).

 

[illmatic99]

Stellar tank job.

Napes looked pissed. He coulda hit a career high.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Allen Crabbe finishes 2nd in NBA with 44.4% 3-PT (Kyle Korver, 45.1%). That's the best mark by any Blazer with 100+ 3-PT made in a season.

 

[B-Roy]

Olshey: Wow Terry. The last three posessions couldn't have gone better if you'd planned it.

Stotts: Fuck you.

Stotts knew what he was doing. Great stealth tank job.

Shabazz had 25 points over 3 quarters and was by far the best player on the court but stotts sat him the entire 4th.

 

[H.C.]

It seems pretty clear our backcourt of the future is Napier and Connaughton. I wonder what we can get for Lillard and CJ to shore up the bench.

Triggered.

 

[jlprk]

In the last minute or two, Leonard consistently blew the play, causing us to lose the game. If that doesn't make Olshey get rid of him this summer, nothing ever will.

Edit: Oh, you saw it too.

That was a terrible last minute for Meyers.

 

[HailBlazers]

CJ McCollum is the NBA's best free throw shooter for 2016-17 (91.2%). He is 2nd Trail Blazer to win that honor (J. Crawford-92.7%, 2011-12).

Golf clap CJ. Really impressive after a lackluster first half of his career.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Allen Crabbe finishes 2nd in NBA with 44.4% 3-PT (Kyle Korver, 45.1%). That's the best mark by any Blazer with 100+ 3-PT made in a season.

Actually might be 3rd; Pau made the minimum attempts tonight, and leapfrogged both Korver and Crabbe into 1st.

 

[ripcityboy]

Story's knew what he was doing. Great stealth tank job.

Shabaka had 25 points over 3 quarters and was by far the best player on the court but stotts sat him the entire 4th.

 

[Pinwheel1]

19 boards by vonleh. That doesn't suck

 

[Boise Blazer]

CJ McCollum is the NBA's best free throw shooter for 2016-17 (91.2%). He is 2nd Trail Blazer to win that honor (J. Crawford-92.7%, 2011-12).

And keep in mind that CJ shot under 70% his first 2 years in the league

 

[riverman]

Coming soon....the G league and a 17 man rotating roster!!

 

[B-Roy]

Our pick will be 15 or 16 because of him. Instead of 16-18. Olshey is super happy.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

CJ got his mind right. His mental game is second to none.

 

[Scalma]

Anyone catch cousins straight up laughing at Leonard late in the game? I have to admit, I was laughing too.

 

[Nate]

Did you ask @Nate for permission before posting that?

I definitely didn't consent, but it was probably my fault for how I dressed.

Cousins is a dick who laughs at developmentally challenged children.

 

[B-Roy]

Don't know if that's more insulting for Leonard or Cousins

He can laugh from his couch this summer too lol

 

[e_blazer]

New nickname for Leonard: QuagMeyers. We're stuck with him.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I tried for equal.

 

[jlprk]

Coming soon....the G league and a 17 man rotating roster!!

Nooooooo! Another 5 years!

Our pick will be 15 or 16 because of him. Instead of 16-18. Olshey is super happy.

Hmmm.

 

[DreamKillah]

This should have a preseason feel to it. Doubt dame and CJ play more than 20-25 minutes

The hell with the playoffs; let's just go directly to summerleague . . .

 

[Wizard Mentor]

New nickname for Leonard: QuagMeyers. We're stuck with him.

Maybe, but for me his nickname for the night is....
Meyers TankHard.

 

[Scalma]

This is something a rookie says.

 

[B-Roy]

This is something a rookie says.

He is worse than he was his rookie year.

Ugh

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

We could probably get a lot of second round picks for them.

All of them?

 

[ripcityboy]

Trade Meyers to Brooklyn. Use of the draft picks on a big man. Problem solved!

You're going to need to package a draft pick for someone to take him.
