Game Thread PRESEASON GAME # 3: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 11, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), NBATV

Slow your roll rookie...... I didn't get on you for being excited about VONLEH.....Go back and look. You were excited about our last 5 guys pulling a game out against another teams last 5 guys. Thats what I got on you about. The HCP was just as excited about Vonleh playing well as anybody on here.

 

every team needs a garbage time chant

 

Seriously???? Destroyed by Black and Mosgov? In the 20 minutes he played, Meyers guarded Black, Mosgov and Yi. Randle played 34 minutes and was mostly guarded Aminu, Ed Davis and Vonleh. I only recall one time where Randle scored on Meyers (the and 1 - missed the FT - with 4:28 left in regulation). During the 20 minutes Meyers played, he had 11 points and 6 rebounds. During those same 20 minutes, Black, Mosgov and Yi combined for 9 points and 4 rebounds,. So, if they were destroying Meyers, he DESTROYED them more.

Wrong. The only thing that makes their salaries relevant is how they perform while under those contracts. The sample size is tiny, but last night Meyers earned his pay much more than Crabbe did - and this is a game thread specifically about last night's game.

I can't disagree with you without being angry? This is a discussion board. I am discussing. If you don't want people disagreeing with your biased opinions, why are you posting them?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I swear like a fuckin sailor. You can't use expletives as an indication of temperament.

 

Piss is an expletive? Good to know. Perhaps I should have used urinate and defecate instead of piss and shit.

Strongly worded does not necessarily equate to anger. There is not a 100% correlation.

BNM

 

I know. I most often use the word fuck when I'm attempting to be humorous. I almost never use foul language when I'm actually upset. People just tune you out when you're swearing at them. If you really want to get their attention, words longer than 4 letters are generally more effective.

Is befuddled an emotional response? Flabbergasted?

I'm to the point where if Stotts, Olshey, Paul Allen and Damian Lillard value the guy, that's enough for me...perhaps with a little civility towards the roster, we'd have players actually drop in here and start threads...like a 4 bar Friday thread by Dame, but if it's depressing for them to read posts here, I wouldn't expect it soon....Meyers was bothered by fan polarity last season and in the long run...it doesn't help him...I'm going into this season optimistic that he is making the leaps he needs to....he entered the game last night and within seconds had a monster dunk...he blocked shots..set good screens..made a 3..made a bank shot..rebounded...and shook off some rust with missed pass opportunities and fadeaway attempts that didn't fall....his team mates trusted him to take the last shot in regulation for a game winner and he missed it.....Crabbe and McCollum couldn't throw a basketball in a swimming pool last night but finished the game without much fanfare

 

There were a lot of sloppy and risky passes which really kept LA in the game...need to clean that up but preseason is just dress rehearsal training camp anyway

 

I'm befuddled by how anyone can look at Crabbe's stat line last night prefer his production over Leonard's. But that's an analytic response, not really an emotional one.

BNM

 

The guy comes back after missing 7 months and has a productive game off the bench, doing all the things you mentioned (he set a killer screen on one of Lillard's made 3-pointers), yet half the people here are bound and determined to shit all over him. I just don't get it. He's on our team, coming back from injury and instead of encouragement, this is what he gets. I'm glad his teammates, coach, owner and GM all like him, otherwise of he ever reads any of this shit, it could be pretty depressing.

BNM

 

BTW, not trying to shit all over Crabbe. He did play like shit last night, but it happens. It's preseason. C.J. was also horrible last night, but I am confident they will both turn it around.

My consternation is due to the way people in this thread unfairly singled out Meyers Leonard for derision when there were other players who played more minutes, make far more money, who played far worse. Why single out the guy coming back from an injury when others played so much worse? If we would have lost that game last night, it would not have been Meyer's Leonard's fault.

BNM

 

As far as blown draft picks...TRob went 5th in that draft ahead of Lillard and Leonard..he didn't even crack the Lakers rotation last night

 

We had a lot of cold shooting ....Shabazz didn't have it going..Aminu....I just thought of it as training camp

 

Blah Blah Blah....
From..."The Guy..."

Yes, our bench kicked the shit out of their bench. I thought it was exciting. F*** your posts when all you do is insult people....and try to kill peoples excitement. Your a debbie downer.....

Maybe if you weren't so insulting in your everyday posts then your posts wouldn't be taken as insulting when they weren't meant to be....

Hey Rook...

The guy...

You know, that shit gets old too and is an insult, so you should assume that i'm gonna take everything you say as an insult because you literally have shown me nothing different. The day you pay me mutual respect, is the day I will reconsider your intent in your posts. Until then all I've seen is you constantly putting others down and for what? To be the cool kid on this block? To feel empowered? Normally, I would give two shits, but you are a bit of a rep of the Blazers here, so it kinda hits a little more personal than it should.

My favorite team has an employee that comes on here and shits on the fans by calling them names and insults and blah blah blah....Yeah.. That sucks man. Wish you would look at the other side sometime...
Nobody here has ever truly gotten to me except you and I know its because I want to respect you and be a fan of you because of your history and ties with the team, but respect goes both ways. Until you show more respect you wont get it from me and you almost make it where I start reading your stuff and just want to go away and not be a fan.
Maybe I should do that more and let you rule your nest...cause its obvious there is a power struggle with you somewhere...

Anyhow, Your right. I was wrong. Our bench sucks and I should never have got excited that our bench kicked their benches ass....Please forgive me.....
