Game Thread GAME# 17: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - NOVEMBER 20, 2018 - TUESDAY, 4:30 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

In an extra second the play is by him.

 

Maybe not just drinks. Millionaires man MILLIONAIRES!

 

Isn't it a right of passage for anybody that turns 21 for your friends to take you to as many bars as possible and get you mindlessly drunk? I mean, that's what I did. Wouldn't be surprised if that's against the law now.

 

Nah it's still just fine as long as you don't do it and then drive home like was pretty much customary when i turned 21.

 

I disagree! The strongest scoring threat from the bench is when Meyers is at 5, Zach at 4, Nik at 3, and Jake at 2, with Evan or CJ at 1. Zach should be moving actively off the ball like Meyers is doing, with Meyers, Zach, Nik, and Jake rotating through sweet spots on the arc, especially including the corner spot. If Zach had been moving tonight, the triple or quad swish3 scoring threat would have been better maximized, and more open swish3s would result. Meyers was again very productive scoring 15 points in only 17 min. Nurk scored 13 points in 31 min for comparison.

In this game, Meyers should have had another 6 or 7 min and taken more swish3 attempts, and this is what I would prefer to see the Blazers do for a better chance to win over the Bucks and Warriors in the next 2 games. The Blazers need to realize the 16-24, or even 30 points that Meyers scoring expertise can bring in these games. Wouldn't it be great to see 52/52/100 shooting Meyers score more than 30, perhaps 40+ points in a game?

Basketball-reference shows that the best 2 man pairing for Zach is with Meyers, now showing +14.6 points.

 

Ugh. Forget that. No way would my friends have let me drive home.

 

Gesundheit

 

Same reason a dog licks his balls.

 

Sad but true

 

And what's worse is when he catches and dribbles under the basket with three defenders around him. Maddening.

 

The world has changed my friend.
On this point for the better. We used to drink and drive like it was nothing. We also buried a few friends every year.

 

When I turned 21, we wore T shirts with my ID printed on them and went from bar to bar.

 

I wonder if Vonleh went out with them.

 

With the way Vonleh was choking those free throws I was wondering if he was cheering for them...

 

Thank goodness he bricked those last 4 FT's....and that Sauce banked in a shot from halfcourt. That's 5-6 points that are quite unexpected.

 

Dame missed some ft’s too and missed some shots he could make. It never felt like they were going to lose at least to me, it just felt like it was closer than it shouldve been.

 

Thanks to MADD it made drinking and driving a serious offense and woke many of us up.

 

Well, if there's drinking to be done, you bet Lillard will be the first one there !

 

With Terry there has never been a P/R - it's ALWAYS been a P/P. Think back to LA standing there waiting for an 18' jumper at the top of the key while Dame got double-teamed because nobody cared about defending a 42% jump shooter.

 

Nurk and Dame make up one of the better pnr’s in the league I thought?
