Game Thread GAME# 25: BLAZERS @ PACERS - DECEMBER 10, 2016 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Wait bigs can shoot 3's? When did this happen, I thought it was against the rules to shoot 3's if you were above 6'9 and didn't look like Justin Bieber.

 

It's just to the point where I still watch every game, I just expect nothing this year, even dame not making the all star game again. Every game could be a loss or a win. I expect nothing. I will say it's getting hard to watch though. I'm somebody who has made sure to catch every game the past 10 years and last season we finally see the team get to the 2nd round and I had something to believe in this season but now it's like gen blazers will just never be good and our all stars will just continue to leave at some point and I don't blame them. It's just frustrating. Fuck I wish whiteside signed with us, he is everything we need. Once again, free agency, another shit thing for us. It's to the point where if I gotta miss a game, I'm fine with it. I used to always have to watch every game and I will continue to do so but this is just bad

 

We should not lose a game when Dame n CJ are that hot

 

His head is always fucked up, don't understand the organizations obsession with him. Offered extension, he didn't take it. Then we sign him before moe. We never needed him, these "assets" are pointless

 

I HOPE THIS TEAM DOES NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. THEY ARE TRASH!

 

Listen guys I'm not trying to piss ya off

I love this team trust me. I want them to do well and would LOVE for them to have major success.

The only reason I piss folks like BonesJones off is because he thinks my basketball analysis is off about this team. So then I tend to like prove him and others wrong.

This seasons blazer team is very garbage. Mediocre like a muthafucka. We need huge changes and a lottery pick for us this year will be worth it in one form or another.

There's a reason I said there's no positives for tonight and who was right? I know this team very well.

Remember that bulls game a week ago I said I have no confidence whatsoever we will close this out. Well think about what i said that? BonesJones gave me hell for that but fails to see how right I am not to.

I hope we have a major trade that helps out a lot. If not, then I hope we get a nice draft slot

 

There are plenty of examples of bigs looking like they should be out of the league after a handful of years and then they turn a corner and become servicable. Przybilla/Whiteside come to mind off the top of my head. Not saying we still need to give Meyers time or anything just that its not to late to teach him how to play. Now we just need teams to tell themselves that before they give us a call.

 

And Olshey signed him to more ($41M) than he had turned down ($40M), so Leonard won the gamble, after everyone said all season that he had lost it. Olshey sent the message to players to turn down his offers because he'll cave in.

 

I will continue to support this team but what I need to see everyone doing there jobs from GM down to our 15 player. So if got to make a trade to get better than you do it very simple. Don't get caught up on players that you thought was good and have great upside and if there not you try to trade them for a better player to up grade your team. Now the coach if have to change thing up to get a spark then you do it that means if you have to bench someone and try someone else in his place then you make the change. In some ways I think our GM and Coach is set in there ways and that a bad thing for a team.

 

Well if I can hang on and beat @HAAK72 in fantasy basketball this week will salvaged.

 

I think we make the playoffs because there some really bad teams underneath us right now so we should still make the 8th seed.

 

I didn't see the game, but I looked at the box score. The problem is that they had 5 guys in double-digit scoring, and we had 2. That's the difference folks.

And I imagine there were missed FTs as well. Something which, like last year, we still suck at.

 

Not that the refs were the reason we lost, but we did get called for about 10 fouls in the second half to Indiana's 2 or 3. That's kind of annoying. Happens in every single game and seems to just add to our melt downs.

 

We were 15-16. We got like 12 of them in the first half though.

 

The problem had nothing to do with our offense.
