Okay here is play by play again http://stats.oregonlive.com/nba/pbp.asp?gamecode=2017112220&home=20&vis=22&meta=true Go look at the first 8 mins of that game. Lillard tried every player on the court at least twice in the first 6 mins of play. Turner was brought in for Harkless and Leonard was brought in for Nurkic. It's all there. This is not just this game. This is every game the Blazers play. Harkless misses his shots. If you can't see that then i got nothing for you. They fell behind 16-0 and then Bazz started hitting some shots at the 5 min mark. As soon as that happened Lillard started getting looks and he started hitting shots also. Like i said in another comment.This is basketball 101. Players got to hit shots. Now Harkless wants to start complaining to Quick that he isn't getting enough looks. Sorry Moe. Make some shots and you will get more chances.
You’re talking to people that will die on a hill defending scrubs while simultaneously having no problem criticizing the only players that keep portland from having the worst collection of talent in the league. What I’m trying to say is...good luck.
I Wonder what other teams/GM's think about Harkless? If they still think he has a good contract or not. I mean, most games of the season the nation don't watch Blazers games because of the pacific time or they are not interesting enough as a .500 team or whatever, but yesterday all watched the game because they wanted to see the 76ers, or atleast the first half until okc vs gsw started. And now they probably know what trash Harkless really is. I mean last season he was good and Took a step Forward, but this Season he is so dissapointed. Olshey should have trade him in the last summer when he has had good value but now could be dificult to get a good a good player back in a trade
It could be somebody is on the trade block and knows it....sort of the sense I get from Mo these days
Harkless isn't open on cuts because nobody has to extend to guard him, because he can't hit a 3. How is that Dame's fault?
He reminds me of Wes Mathews when Wes couldn't finish a layup to save his soul or a fast break....he dunks or he defends....that's it
Yeah uhhhh Moe is not in a good place mentally about the game of basketball. You can't say it's just these three guys when i have seen Moe get open looks and touches, I have seen team mates try to set him up down in the post. He simply doesn't play like he did last season. Simple.
And for the record Wes is one of my favorite blazers of all time, I just get annoyed when he always talks the chip on his shoulder no matter how much playing time he gets or money.
