Game Thread GAME# 70: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - MARCH 18, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Good. Then we can sign him for cheap and watch him blossom. He has NOT peaked.

 

Nothing ever goes to blows in the NBA. Its all pushing and yelling at teammates to 'hold me back' for show. Their basketball players not fighters. None of the guys out there are tough. The rules don't even allow tough physical players anymore; which is good.

I don't want to see awkward tall dudes breaking hands trying to fight. If I want to watch fights I watch MMA. Those guys would kick any NBA players ass in seconds. Just as an MMA guy would get destroyed trying to guard the worst NBA scrubs on the court.

 

Prediction: 100% true. It was a LONG 6 minutes all right!

 

I'm kind of shocked none of us Star Wars nerds thought to call him Porkins.

 

This is something to celebrate? Damn ok congrats brah

 

Strenus convinced me. I'm with you guys I wanna go all the way this year.

 

Hopefully we can get him for on a cheap contract. He was flirting with a big contract earlier in the year.

 

So now that Meyers is out for at least a few games. People are now turning their attention to Crabbe. Will he now become unwatchable? Will he now become trade fodder? Or will they actually look to Harkless? I wonder who will become the next Nic Batum, Luke Babbitt, Nolan Smith?????

 

Stay tuned. You don't want to miss any of the action.

 

Oh yes i will most certainly be watching this play out.

 

Crabbe has been trash latley it's even past slump levels now this is probably who he is. We knew it was too good to be true for a 2nd rounder to be doing what he was doing.

Honestly we need to bring back Henderson more than Crabbe

 

You're not always the most positive guy, Tunch, but (IMHO) you hit this one on the head. Crabbe is who he is; a streaky shooter who can play a little D. I thought his earlier consistency was too good to be true and that appears to have been the case. He's definitely not starter in this league but he's a decent option off the bench and a good teammate. Having said that, I too would rather have Henderson back at a fair price than to overpay Crabbe. At least most days you know what you're going to get from Hendo, good bad or indifferent. It will be interesting to see what kind of money these guys get, wherever they sign in the end. I'd love to keep them both but some team is going to get stupid and I'm hoping it isn't us......

 

I think Crabbe and Meyers are not mentally strong. Much like felton, they struggle in a contract year. I bet Henderson will dip a little when he gets a contract. With that said, I want Henderson back as our 6th man.

 

Wow! Playing out faster than i had expected.

 

If we don't bring back Crabbe next year I will be extremely disappointed in management.

Crabbe is a prototypical wing in today's game. Sure he has flaws but he's 23 and improving. Letting him leave because of a shooting slump is an extremely short sighted move. Plus he's a homegrown talent.

 

How guys like Meyers, Mo and Crabbe end the season will affect their contracts. Could be they step up but Crabbe is definitely in a shooting slump right now and isn't rebounding the ball either. Crabbe has earned some patience with his slump. Meyers has played well and Harkless has slumped probably the most in his court time. I want Crabbe scoring in double digits off the bench along with Henderson. His no show offense has hurt us against the contenders lately.

 

Remember when a few guys here refused to send Crabbe for Kevin Love? hehe

Anyway, another bad performance by the team. I think Lillard is mad about last night.
