Game Thread 2022-23 Game #61 - TRAIL BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - FEBRUARY 28th, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[riverman]

Grant is overdue to have a big game...I like our chances. I think the 3rd stringers are going to rally behind Dame's last solo win and get a win.

 

[Whyachi]

Would it surprise anyone if Cronin yanks Lillard and Grant right before tip off ??

Yes.

 

[PDXFonz]

Next 8 games may decide our seasons fate. Standings are very close, I think in that time we will see some separation.

Only 1.5 games back from GS. This game has playoff ramifications. A W tonight could be looked back on as huge.

22 games left. Need to go 13-9 to finish at .500 which should have us in the playoff picture. From there it’s a brand new season.

I hope if it's a play-in we get the 7, 8, or 9 so we have at least one home game to go to.

A good number of us don’t think the Blazers are tanking. I’m one of them.

[riverman]

That's sharp

That's a Nicolas Cage jacket if I've ever seen one!

 

[BBert]

I can totally see Nurk rocking that on the sidelines.

 

[Irish Trader]

Portland Trail Blazers
29-31 (30-29-1) 235.5 +143 44.3%
Golden State Warriors
31-30 (28-32-1) -4.5 -170 55.7%

Thompson is going to probably try and stop Lillard

 

[BBert]

Teams used to do this thing where they'd concede the other team's star would get their's, so focus on stopping everyone else. If teams tried that with Dame, he'd drop 100, and win. So nowadays it's double and trap Dame all over the court, and pray.

Draymond Green said on his podcast today that he's playing tonight

My bigger concern is when they double our backup PG.....since we don't really have one available.

Ryan has played pretty well...he's a better pt guard than Keon.

 

[riverman]

Goran Dragic just got bought out by the Bulls since they got Beverly...he's 36 though

 

[Pinwheel1]

I agree but is he available tonight?

 

[riverman]

I agree but is he available tonight?

probable

 

[Chris Craig]

He's out.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Blazers haven't waived Arcidiacono or Knox to sign Noel yet?

 

[tlongII]

I would really like to win this one.

 

[Chris Craig]

Draymond Green said on his podcast today that he's playing tonight

Of course he is.

 

[BBert]

Knox is a waste of space.

 

[ehizzy3]

Fuck the warriors

 

[LayneStaley]

I’d pay a fairly large sum of money to watch Dame break Klays 3 point record at GS.

 

[riverman]

These are games we need to win in order to make a playoff run worthwhile. Our defense has to be better than it has been from here on out.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Fairly you say?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

They just played a solid piece on the letter O scoring a bunch of baskets in the last game.

That video replay guy earned his money tonight!
