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

[Wizard Mentor]

Literally can't believe Meyers poor midrange play.

 

[Cippy91]

A fitting end to the Meyers Leonard era in Portland (hopefully)

Checked by a guard.

Twice.

Still got playoff Meyers...

 

[LuckyShot]

Them guarding Meyers willingly with a PG over and over is the same as teams intentionally leaving Aminu open for 3. Except leaving Aminu has the potential for the other team to get burned.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Calabro is excited the Sonics are back in the playoffs.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Meyers is embarrassing to have on the floor.

this is his greatest moment!

 

[Scalma]

There's no way Stotts is actually trying to win this game. Those play calls make that very obvious lol.

 

[H.C.]

Hurd says.
"The 24 turnovers is expected when you're without your normal rotation guys. NO keeping them low."
Then an obvious pause cause he thought to himself "shit they're without their normal rotation players too".


My dog could do a better job than Hurd, and he's afraid of the ball.

 

[HailBlazers]

So Meyers can't post up small players. fuck. I honestly would of preferred pat to just pull up and take the last shot than what I just saw out of Meyers

Dude. There is a reason they went to Meyers. And it was a success.

 

[Pinwheel1]

That is why you don't give a big the ball in the closing seconds if they have to put the ball on the floor.LMA couldn't finish either

 

[HailBlazers]

Calabro is excited the Sonics are back in the playoffs.

I liked and then unliked your comment, for obvious reasons.

 

[illmatic99]

omg please no ot

 

[blue9]

LOL at all the people yelling at Meyers. He's doing EXACTLY what coach wants him to do - miss shots, but not make it TOO obvious that we're throwing the game. Meyers and Pat are controlling this tank - Pat has done a piss poor job of hiding the fact, but has done a wonderful job of missing defensive assignments, playing too loose with the ball, etc.

 

[Scalma]

Give Meyers a three. Let's improve our draft positioning.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

this is his greatest moment!

No one can ever say he doesn't care about the fans!

 

[ripcityboy]

Please..... You know who to give the ball too!!!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dude. There is a reason they went to Meyers. And it was a success.

That's what I was thinking

 

[PDXFonz]

There's no way Stotts is actually trying to win this game. Those play calls make that very obvious lol.

Yet fans are still going to be irrationally pissed that we lost this game. Funniest part is some of them will be people who wanted us to miss the playoffs for a lottery chance.

 

[KingSpeed]

Go to Meyers again? For three?

 

[LuckyShot]

Go to Meyers again? For three?

Watch him get his shot blocked by a PG.

 

[illmatic99]

no OT

 

[Strenuus]

Go to Meyers again? For three?

The PG would block him.

 

[Cippy91]

Calabro is excited the Sonics are back in the playoffs.

I am sure we are all excited as citizens of Seattle. Great time....

 

[Pinwheel1]

Jake or Pat

 

[Boise Blazer]

I have always wanted Meyers to succeed for his sake and because it would be great for our team but when it gets to the point that it is actually hurting the team then its time to move on.

 

[H.C.]

If Nards hit a 3 to send it to OT. He should pull a DMC and "drop his mouthpiece" as he's yapping towards the Pelican's bench.

 

[ripcityboy]

Have Quarterman and Leonard sniff some glue before inbounding the ball!!!

 

[Cippy91]

Dude. There is a reason they went to Meyers. And it was a success.

Illuminati shit

 

[LuckyShot]

lol he put in Harkless.

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers literally did nothing... no screens no nothing on that inbounds.

 

[Scalma]

Meyers is fifth year lottery pick looking scared to death against fringe NBA players. It's embarrassing. For him.
