Game Thread GAME# 9: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - NOVEMBER 9, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Yup although Crabbe isn't too bad to me..

The problem is Blazer fans fall in love with mediocre players and don’t want to give them up (Outlaw, Barton, Fernandez to name a few). I’m just as guilty as the next. However, outside of CJ and Dame this team is full of tier two players.

We’re led to believe the team is greater than the sum of its parts. While this may have held true last year, it was a fluke. Lightning doesn’t strike twice. We need a consolidation trade and we need one soon

So are the Clippers. They have CP3 and Griffin. Granted that Jordan is a top 1 tier defensive center,( who is very one dimensional) but they are full of tier two players. Bass, Speights, Wes Johnson, Riddick, Mbah Moute, Austin Rivers, Old PP, Crawford...

The difference this year is their defense. Their team defense is excellent.

 

[Chris Craig]

He wouldn't have made up 31 points (which is being generous, since they were down by almost 50 at one point).

The game might've been closer, and he's the best defender on the team (which is like being the tallest family member of people all under 5'6"...still short), but he's not making up that much of a difference.

the teams problems are much bigger than missing Aminu.

@riverman is saying with Aminu' s defensive help they wouldn't have scored all of those 31 points to begin with, so we wouldn't have to come back from 31 points

which is saying he'd make up the 31 points...

We stunk up this game and it was our worst of the season so far......if you think we don't need Aminu's defensive presence and rebounding...this game says you're wrong

He would've helped, but the Clip show came out strong and spanked our team early on. Stotts and company need to adapt and if necessary change their gameplan on offense and defense (including in-game adjustments).

Just throwing this out there, but If Aminu cancelled out 15 of their points and scores 16 of his own, then that would make up the difference right? Doesn't seem to far fetched to me when speaking of specifics, but no. Aminu would not have changed the win loss outcome. They had our number. they have everyone's number right now it seems.

They are the hottest team at this point in the season. They came out with a message for the rest of the NBA.

Stotts need to start holding people accountable of there play the problem he doesn't. I don't know the answer but some of these guys are going through the motions and if it takes benching someone to get players attention that what you do. It seems like the ones got there contract it seems there satisfy and include the coach. Now Plums is not playing up to standard especially on the boards what is he mad they didn't give him extension. All I am saying some of these is not playing to there potential.

 

[THE HCP]

We tied the serie before injuries happened

You rookie are incorrect. This is what we call a checkable fact. Think carefully before you post.....

 

[THE HCP]

I'n still waiting on the Jinx to explain his huge reversal on his opinion of the Clips.....

 

[Strenuus]

They are the hottest team at this point in the season. They came out with a message for the rest of the NBA.

Then the 1st round of the playoffs happen and..

All of a sudden...

No good clippers!

Ah ah ah... don't fall off the wagon, HCP!

No because some of the points he scores would've been scored by someone else. He also would never save that many points.
