Game Thread GAME# 10: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 4, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

You blind?

 

KAT is soft mentally and physically. 5 rebounds in 25 minutes from your starting center when your team gets out rebounded 66-38 is pathetic.

Blazers with at least 5 rebounds tonight:

Nurk = 12 reb in 22 minutes
Meyers = 12 reb in 21 minutes
Chief = 6 reb in 23 minutes
Layman - 6 rebounds in 24 minutes
Biggie = 5 reb in 9 min
Dame = 5 reb in 28 min
ET = 5 reb in 22 min

Half our roster out rebounded KAT and all but Dame did it in fewer minutes played. Hell, Stauskas had 4 reb in 9 minutes.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Pat Connaughton out rebounded KAT 9 - 5 when Notre Dame and Kentucky met in the Elite 8 in 2015.

That's a complete lack of effort. Jimmy is being an asshole, but he isn't wrong about KAT. Talented, but soft as fuck.

C'mon man. Put yourself in their shoes...

 

KAT is dangerously close to turning into Vin Baker if he doesn't start at least trying on defense.

 

OK maybe it was an offensive foul but the replay clearly shows he did not say a word before he got T'd up . He just grabbed the ball .

 

Why? Again, do you think they felt sorry for us when we were getting swept by NOP? Did they put themselves in our shoes? More likely they were laughing at us and calling POR overrated.

BNM

 

He should stay away from Dame.

Ya know... cuz Dame drinks like a fish!

 

When Vin Baker was healthy/not drunk he was a phenomenal player. But yeah I get your point.

 

Happy for Meyers.
NOW TRADE HIM NEIL

 

It worked because you cheered all 2nd half?

 

I know CJ is far from a perfect player, but I'm so glad to have him rather than Butler, aka Major Soreness. Jimmy gives great effort for 1 season and then becomes a cancer and rubs everyone around him in a wrong way. He's a cactus.

 

Im dissapointed for them on a basketball level, this should be another yesr for KAT / Wiggins to learn how to play instead they’re stuck with a coach who obviously doesnt respect them, a star that should be providing veteran leadership, who is instead trying to prove some point about how hard he plays.
It sucks for Minnesota fans sure, but it sucks for basketball in general when a team with that much talent is basically taking a nose dive because the guys who should be leading them are alienating them instead.

 

I couldn't care less what opposing fans say about our team.

Their supposed missing piece is single-handedly killing that franchise and their young star has seemingly checked out because of it.

I don't wish that on anybody...

 

Lol then why’d he get Td up? Maybe he didn’t say anything but he was definitely staring down whoever was on the floor.

 

@Darkwebs, to answer your question. A nice gift and a cruel joke. Goodnight!

 

But I'm supposed to care about their fans?

I didn't wish it on them. It happened.

BNM

 

Sorry but if you look at the replay (Which I am doing right now) he does not end up staring down at the player on the floor. He just grabs the ball. The ref assumed he did.

 

Its obvious by the timing of things KAT thought Butler was going to be traded when he signed his contract. At least he’s showing up to the games, Jimmy’s cant play because general soreness, aka doesnt feel like it today. Yeah he’s a tough guy.
That whole situation is so bad, Taylor, Thibs, Butler, Wiggins, KAT all look awful.
Its funny how Butlers point is that KAT and Wiggins arent trying hard enough, and dont want to win enough, while Butlers generally too sore to even make it to the games...

 

I didn't say you should or did.

All I'm doing is explaining why I feel sorry for their fans.

 

Haven't read through the comments yet, but before I do I just want to say what a disservice our crappy announcers did to Trent Jr. Not one mention about scoring his first career bucket. Don't you have to at least mention it instead of talking about shoes the whole 4th quarter?

It was nice to see the Collins/Nurk lineup for a few minutes. They were a bullshit foul call on Collins and a stupid pass from Turner away from being a 10-2 run while in the game instead of 10-5.
