Game Thread GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - NOVEMBER 2, 2015 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I would say Harkless was one too. That cat can flat out play. It's so nice to have decent bench players

 

Agreed. We have a lot of toughness and length from the SF spot now. (Defense and rebounding)
We gave up nothing for both. Add AC to the mix and we have some nice versatility.

 

Add Simmons, Ingrahm or Murray and it's scary in a couple years.

 

FYI - Signature links updated

 

Really? 18 minutes of bad play and you turn on us? But after trouncing the Pelicans by 29 in 24 minutes, you say "let's wait and see." Right.

No they aren't.

Going into tonight's game, he was ranked 17th in the entire NBA for Yahoo Fantasy Basketball. He would be an All Star in the East no question. So yes, he has a LOT of value. Scores, rebounds, passes well, defends. Great player.

No we're not. If Aminu is a consistent scorer (whether he's second or third), that's a GOOD thing!

Again... I thought you were in wait and see mode. After 3.7 games, you already declare we'll lose so many close games?? This proves, when it's a NEGATIVE, you have no problem with making that determination right here and NOW, but if it's a POSITIVE, it's "wait and see." I count us at 1-0 in close games.

Shouldn't you be waiting your 20 games before determining that we have a lot of holes?

And Aldridge is re-signing with us. Maybe you should stay away from predictions.

Aminu is much better than Batum.

How we gonna get one of those guys? We are too good to get a pick that high.

Go Blazers

 

im only watching the game now, aminu was a total steal.

 

Can't believe those Wolf fans are bitching about the refs. The Shabazz call, where he was rim checked and they called a foul on Plumlee for grazing the back of his jersey with his fingertips. The play where the TWolf lost the ball, and Aminu did not even touch him and they called a foul on Aminu. Rubio and Martin also acted like they were hit on shots, when they weren't touched, and went to the FT line. They also missed an offensive goaltend on the TWolves

 

If you've watched any NBA Draft Lotteries at all, you'll know the worst record rarely gets the #1 pick.

 

Also, on the first jump ball Towns fouled Plumlee and got away with it, on the 2nd one, they were fouling each other and Plumlee got the call, so it's even.

 

Not to mention the play where they wrestle Plumlee down to the ground rip the ball out of his arms and don't call a foul or a jump ball. Those maggots can go fuck themselves.

 

fify.

 

Re-watching the game and I'm really noticing how much time and how many mistakes it is going to take for Vonleh, but he shows so much potential that I look forward to the ride. Noah certainly looks like he's a few years away, but he's exactly where he needs to be - getting 20 minutes of meaningful game time each night. That is what its going to take for him, time. He's the kind of player who we are going to see someone completely new after a season under his belt, an off season to work on his game, and a training camp to put it all together. Going to be fun to watch this 20 year old progress.

 

That block by Aminu on towns late in the 4th was sick!

 

What a smart move by Plumlee. Towns grabs Masons wrist, so he grabs towns' arm, preventing it from getting all the way up to the ball. All the ref see's is one man with a considerable advantage, that man was towns, and he got called for the foul.

 

I still haven't selected my favorite player of the season. Does Plumlee get paid enough to afford a nose job?

 

I see to be the new jinx around here folks. 2-0 when I don't post in game threads and 0-2 when I do. So I ask you all, do you want to win more games or lose? I'll make sure to either show up or not depending on what my fellow Blazer fans want.

 

We play 3 strong Quarters and the bench came through with 24 points.

 

Not a fan of Crab?
