Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ KINGS - JANUARY 14, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

You are right. We should have been riding Meyers. He was the best shooter on the team tonight. Any team in the league would be happy if the blazers tried to ride Jake to a win, but he can't do it.

 

This!

 

HAHAHAHAHA

 

Just posted this in the 'Bashing CJ thread', but thought it also applies here -

CJ had a tough night, and is having a bit of a down year. But how good is he compared to other teams number 2 scoring option?

Here's a look at each team's number 2 scoring option, ranked by points-per-game and eFG%:



Yes, I know there are many ways to rank players. But I'm simply looking at the scoring efficiency of each team's number 2 option. Defense of course isn't take into account. Contracts aren't taken into account. Simply scoring productivity and efficiency.

We all expect a lot out of CJ. He's got a big contract to live up to. And yes, he's having a down year. But looking at the league wide picture, I think CJ stacks up pretty good for the role that he's in.

 

Only two of those were Olshey though and the last one you can't really call Simons a bad pick yet.

 

Weird Stat: Portland still hasn't won a game all year while trailing after 3 quarters. (0-19) I know I've seen that before in here but it's still troubling we haven't ended the trend.

 

TS% > EFG%

 

Wheres KJ?!?!?!?!

 

Tonight Giles was notably excellent at offense and Jackson at defense. So I have just voted in the above poll for them. Collins sucked.

 

Which is why my post included the word "recently" and. does not apply to drafts from many years ago.

 

I always say go to the hot hand and the 2 that was hot was Dame and Layman.

 

Reading a thread with over 600 posts dominated by 3 or 4 posters that think they know more than people who actually do a job that the posters have never even sniffed.
You are just comical with your "Advanced" knowledge of basketball.

It's a game dude. Tagging me to your posts and calling me out by name points to the fact that people can live in your head a little too easily if they don't agree with your take on everything.

The Blazers are 26-19 and currently 5th in the Western Conference. This from a team that no one anywhere thinks has a chance to win a Championship. That seems about as good as it will get. If the Blazers beat all predictions and win 50 games it still won't be enough for you or the others like you on this thread. Seriously if they end up with 32 losses we are going to have to read a thread 13 more times dominated by you telling us all how you could coach the Blazers better than Stotts. It seems like a sad existence at best dude. If they only win 48 games then it will be 15 more threads.

One thing that even seems funnier is you claiming that Stotts only does what YOU suggest when they win. It's comical at best.

What's even worse is this forum used to be a group of people that would like to get together in a suite and watch a game. @SlyPokerDog used to work hard putting together opportunities for us to all come together. That seems strangely absent this year. Think about that will ya?

 

Let's go down the check list, shall we?
- "Stotts is a coach and you're not" - CHECK
- Blindly defending Stotts - CHECK
- Insinuating that this team has a lack of talent - CHECK
- Unable to discuss basketball while bashing on those who are - CHECK
- Falsely attributing the result of a game to Stotts making mistakes - CHECK
- Claiming someone said something without actually quoting it - CHECK
- Using the 4th grade level insult of "No one wants to watch a game with you" - CHECK
- Falsely insinuating that I'm to blame for us not getting opportunities to come together (even though we had one earlier this year) - CHECK
- Falsely insinuating that people had a bad time watching the game with me in said skybox - CHECK
- Falsely insinuating things on the forum carry out the exact same way off of it - CHECK
- Hypocritically claiming that I can't handle when people disagree with me - CHECK
- Falsely claiming you "live in my head" while ironically doing everything on this list - CHECK

All because I don't like Stotts coaching and said "Where's KJ?!" as a joke. Thanks for falling into my trap that I didn't even mean to set!

 

Boy that didn't take long. Have a nice day.

 

I have to go to work and then i have a huge meeting in Salem this evening on what is the largest job this state has ever had. You are safe here. I'm done reading the thread.

 

Good luck. You replace NeO?

 

Easy W.
