Coach Udoka doesn't trust the refs, challenges outta bounds call

 

Udoka wins challenge

refs u suck

 

What's funny is that I predicted a Spurs win thinking the Nuggets wouldn't play their top guys.

 

thats not a poster, but they sure want it to be

 

Jock Landale tapped into some vintage Kevin McHale mojo. 20/4/3 on 60% shooting. I have absolutely no explanation for this anomoly.

 

Can’t watch any Blazers game. How’s Scoot so far?

 

Henderson played terrific. Unfortunately he got a hip pointer and missed the 4th qtr

 

How to say you're a hater without saying you're a hater.

 

didn't see the game...looking at box score it appears Scoot played well and Banton had no shame about chucking

Ayton and Walker with limited minutes...what was that about?

Spurs and Blazers tied for 4th. Blazers final is a road game against the Kings who will be very motivated to win. Spurs last game a home game against the lowly Pistons. Blazers seem like close to a lock for 4th. Probably won't matter because of San Antonio's stinking lottery luck

 

Ayton stepped out in 3rd (back). Walker out at halftime (knee, i think)

Banton was shooting like the clock was running low. Dribble dribble chuck.

It was an exciting loss for fan appreciation night. Much better then the previous 2 year's and 50 point losses. Brooke Olzendam had lots of fun. Terry Porter was in the house! He thinks the Blazers rebuild looks great.

 

28 on 9-26 is Clyde Drexler numbers… I have a good feeling about Banton!

 

Williams got the post game presser

 

The Spurs are going to beat the Pistons, we will lose to the Kings and despite the fact that we easily could have had the 3rd spot in the lotto, I'm pretty sure we're going to end up in the 4th spot all by ourselves.

 

3 and 4 is irrelevant right? They both have the same odds at #1.

 

No, 3 has equal odds with 1 and 2 at 14% if the 4th worst record only belongs to one team the odds drop to 12.5%. The same thing happens with pick 2, 3 and 4. Equal odds for teams with the worst, second worst and third worst records and a small drop off at the fourth worst record followed by bigger drop offs the better the record. It was fucking stupid that we started DA in those games against Charlotte and Washington. We had a clear path to the third worst record which is equal to the first and second worst for the lotto. The link below explains things... usually you could go to tankathon's pick odds but they are currently showing what things will be like if we remain tied with San Antonio.

those wins against Atlanta, Raptors OT, Charlotte and Memphis twice in a row were lottery killers

 

You posted this when he was 6-6 from 3?
Just stop shooting?

 

nothing to do with busterson, its idiotic to call it a "poster"

poster is when you dunk over someone, not when you dunk next to someone, even if that someone goes for the block

 

yes, not to worsen his fg %, which is exactly what he did by missing next three shots

luckily he didnt get back in, he wouldve missed more surely
