Game Thread GAME# 52: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 30, 2019 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

You forgot the green font.

 

He hasn't sniffed court time...he's a project ...but I'm not down on the kid as the 14th player on the roster yet...guys like him need to go up against starting vets and learn by mistakes...we aren't tanking...he's not getting that burn...hence..G league

 

Grayson Allen says 'hello'

 

Yeah man. I honestly though Biggie would be a gym warrior and hit the weight room. I honestly think he's happy just being in the league. Boy, he 'sgot the right General Manager for that!

 

I've seen this narrative so many times about the end of the bench guys..my point is they were not so long ago those guys.

 

Yeah, but just watch Swanigan when he's in the game. Just watch him. He moves like he's stuck in the mud and everyone else is on roller skates and pogo sticks.

 

I will admit I understand this reference (I once dated a professional ballerina for several years).

Do you understand your audience? Most these folks have no clue of what you’re talking. I mean, I barely understand. No disrespect intended (towards you, at least).

 

You can't coach athletic ability into him.

 

With 20 seconds left, I stood to give the team a standing ovation. The woman behind me said “Hey Buddy! Can you sit down so we can see the game?” I sat down but wtf? I should have told her off. Bummer ending to great night.

 

I listen to games on the radio for the most part but I watched his G league games and he can hoop...don't care what the detractors say..the nba game has to slow down for him and he's not there yet...project in my view

 

I bet her name was Brenda. It's always a Brenda.

 

You need to watch. G league is beyond worthless. Worse than summer league.

 

Blazers at a season high 12-games over 500.
(And yes, I heard Brian Wheeler even say that after the game, so the 'games over 500' definition should be put to rest.)



The Blazers are 3 games behind the 2014-15 pace, and 3 games ahead of the 2017-18 pace. That 50 win target is within sight!

 

Zach Randolph couldn't jump over a newspaper

 

well that's your opinion...I watched every player from the Blazers play G league and got a good idea of what they could do..sure they don't play much defense..it's more like euro ball. I don't watch college ball..I watched Jake Layman in G league and was one of the only fans to think he had an NBA game....you don't get that impression from him waving a towel

 

Why so hard to get the reference? Baryshnikov was a household name ballet dancer in the 80s. He even did movies. If you knew who Kareem was, you knew who Baryshnikov was. He was that famous.

 

But he had quickness. And he had a skill for putting the ball in the hoop.

 

It's a glorified rec league.

 

Dude, you’re giving too much credit to these S2 folks.

Not trying to hate, I’m just being honest.

You life, experiences, interests..... most these dudes would not understand. Admittedly, I’d know the name but nothing else if not for my relationship. No disrespect intended.

 

I was mocked in my 32 losses thread for saying we could win 50.
