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

*spoiler alert**

We lost...blew it in the 4th as usual.

 

Think of what a complicated system heroball is. The other coach has to be an Einstein to beat us.

 

A system based on amazing, miraculous shooting. Why hasn't any other NBA coach tried this dependable offense we have?

Leonard misses. What a lazy guy. How could he miss? It's the players' fault.

 

Lillard misses a 30-footer without checking who's open. No one was, because he was the first one down there. Well, he's a great shooter, so that must have been an exception. The coach wants him to dominate every 4th quarter with his BBIQ.

 

Lillard throws it out of bounds. His many mistakes will be cancelled by his game-winning shot, I am sure.

 

I forgot to say that the pacers took the lead a few minutes ago. Like all Blazer fans, I'm so entranced by my heroball hopes that I'm hypnotized into missing all the errors. I love authority, so it's the players' fault, not the coach's. Why don't they play harder?

 

Paul George gets a rebound through strength and then dunks it. Softness is more evidence that it's our players' fault. Too soft. Their fault, not the coach's.

 

A lot of and ones the pacers got tonight due to our shit fouling

 

We are 5 down, 31 seconds left, Leonard has been in awhile, setting those fearsome picks.

 

Exactly. Too often the bigs stand around and watch

 

Our defensive team has been in for a minute or two...Crabbe, Leonard, Lillard, Harkless. We lose.

See you next game! Same channel, same thing!

 

the sonics thing really was the poo icing on a shit cake, wasn't it?

 

Another meltdown, another inept quarter, another 6 minutes stretch of absolute dreck.......wait, it's still early, right?

 

Leonard is down to 37.2% shooting (bear in mind that he's fucking 7'1) and yet he is still got 22 minutes tonight on the basis of his "stretch five shooting". Vonleh gave them a nice burst of energy and got rewarded with 7 minutes.

Leonard's ineptitude is past the point of being funny to me. I can't even bring myself to laugh at his hair anymore. Just tears of agony.

 

i was going to chip in with some statistical points to really highlight how shit he is this year, but during my investigation it just got beyond annoying and i couldnt bring myself to continue with the spiral into the lands of broken monitors.

needless to say, i think at this point all that needs to be said, is that his performance speaks for itself & and nobody short of KingSpeed himself wouldn't notice how unbelievably trash and pointless his chosen development path is to this team.

stretch shooting? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck outta here with that whoever is still hanging onto that.... you cool with paying 40M+ to watch this guy in his 5th pro year basically all-inning on a skill set he doesn't even have.

ok i need to stop, the monitor is looking worried.

Don't be alarmed, my friend. Just a little "foreshadowing".

 

Wish I would of recorded it, don't know where his damn head was at but he definitely said sonics and it was weird. It would be one thing if they were still in the league but they aren't. It's the Thunder. That's what makes it weird. Unless the terrible play of us just sent him back to his years calling the sonics, who knows

 

I share your frustrations. In my opinion, I don't think that it's unreasonable to hope that the players continue their momentum/success/improvement from last season; along the same trajectory (because that is exactly my position as well), but given we're the second youngest team in the NBA, I do think it's unreasonable to expect the aforementioned. I believe this, because I don't expect consistency from young players. I follow many sports, and one of the things they all have in common (without fail) is inconsistency by young players.
