GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - DECEMBER 9, 2014 - TUESDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSN

[SlyPokerDog]

Are you unable to ignore a poster since you are a mod?

Shhhhhh...

I can't ignore or be ignored. But don't tell anyone.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Thank you, I love you.

I love you too, man!

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge has made the argument for the best PF in the game... He may just start the allstar game. Fans are starting to notice

 

[Blazinaway]

SlyPokerDog is an asshole and a bitch! I'm pointing out the fact that LaMarcus' offense is much less efficient than the team overall. Why have the least efficient player take the most shots? And why is he inefficent? It's plain to see that he forces up a lot of bad shots. He could be one of the more efficient players he just played within the offense. If you're tired of me saying it, fine, but it happens every game so it's hard for me to ignore.

I think LMA is an excellent player but I have to agree with you, especially tonight, he forced some shots when he was well defended and could of easily passed to open guys

 

[Sinobas]

The only players I've really been down on this year are Batum and LA. Batum simply because he's been ice cold all freaking year, and LA, because it drives me crazy the shots he puts up. Everyone has bad shooting nights, but LA is the only one chucking up shots outside of the flow of the offense. He's actually one of the least efficient offensive players in the league.

Honestly, I don't care if any of our boys do not make it to the all-star game. It'd be nice for them to have a break from those festivities for a week.

Right now they are kicking ass and taking names!

Thank you, I wouldn't gripe about him if he just stopped with that awful 1 on 1 stuff. He should be a 16ppg guy that shoots over 50% and plays good defense.

Honestly, I would love for Aldridge and Lillard to be snubbed. The fire they would display after the all star break could be enough to win the whole fucking thing.

I doubt it happens... The Blazers will have the best record in the league, and it's rare that they wouldn't have any all stars

43 more wins to make 60

Batum is the one I've been down on all year. I cringe when he takes an open jumper.

I blame playing for Team France for this slump.

Kaman/Crabbe/Blake: 13-18 for 28 points in 57 minutes tonight. Solid work from the reserves tonight.

I can't wait till we get CJ back. We should be averaging 28-33 a game from the bench

 

[KingSpeed]

If we played in Eastern Conference, we'd have a very good shot at winning 70 games this season.

3rd in PER among PFs who play 32mpg or more. He's also one of the best three point shooters in the NBA.

 

[riverman]

Credit Stott's game plane to pound it inside against the Pistons. Van Gundy is making a mistake starting Josh Smith over Monroe

 

[bemac]

Ha! Yeah, and they would have 5 more losses right now. This is good stuff.

 

[Strenuus]

3rd in PER among PFs who play 32mpg or more. He's also one of the best three point shooters in the NBA.

I dont think he technically qualifies for that... he probably doesnt have enough attempts.

 

[Sinobas]

3rd in PER among PFs who play 32mpg or more. He's also one of the best three point shooters in the NBA.

Maybe he should be taking more 3s then. If he were to only shoot 33% it would be a hell of a lot better than his mid range game. His offense sucks. It's equivalent to the worst offensive team in the league.

 

[KingSpeed]

He's an efficient three point shooter regardless.

Well that and he is one of the best PFs in the game

I'm done with you.

only thing i disagree with is that i think golden state will have the best record.

 

[Sinobas]

No, his missed shots would be converted to more efficient shots, which would mean more points and more wins.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm done with you.

I SAID GOOD DAY!

 

[magnifier661]

only thong i disagree with is that i think golden state will have the best record.

I like taking "thongs" off of my wife with my teeth. How can you disagree?!

 

[Sinobas]

I'm done with you.

Sorry you can't deal with logic and facts. Join the rest of the "ignore Sinobas" club.

He may disagree unless he did it with his teeth.

damnit!! i didnt change it fast enough, you ass!

shhhhh...

He won't admit to it but I agree. I don't think he is getting the rest and I just wonder when it starts to become a conflict of interest. I mean who is paying him here. And when do the Blazers raise this as a concern.
