Game Thread 2022-23 Game #66 - BLAZERS @ CELTICS - MARCH 8, 2023 - WEDNESDAY - 4:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Chris Craig]

yall see the news about Shawn Kemp?

once a jailblazer, always a jailblazer, i guess?

What the fuck is he doing drive by shooting?

 

[illmatic99]

He was way more Sonic than Blazer.

good point.

 

[Chris Craig]

I think Chauncey's probably done after this season. The team regressed. The players regressed. Defensively, we fell into a black hole when we had something to play for.

Biggest thing: I honestly don't think Chauncey'd care. I don't see a team that competes and that's often a reflection of the coach, but I just don't see him as a guy that's passionate about being on the sidelines and, even worse, a guy that's passionate about his guys winning.

I wish. He will be here at least next season.

 

[Blazinaway]

stick a fork in it and get the best draft pick we can, we suck

 

[DDolla]

C’mon Sixers, load management Embiid, Harden, Harris please. We need a win

 

[DDolla]

Ime Udoka please help us

 

[robe]

Sharpe with 4/8. I hope he'll get more shots next game. Good.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Look, for most former star players, this is a valid question. Shawn Kemp, however, has been a cocaine addict for over two decades. Nothing with him should surprise anyone.

So was Whittsit

 

[Tince]

Can confirm... snow flurries, wind, etc. Not an ideal day to be walking around town, but I'm doing it anyway!

Good news:
1) I was sitting 2nd row
2) The lottery odds improved

Bad news:
1) It says my photos are too large to upload
2) The Blazers play

Will try my hand in Philly on Friday!

Movin' on up -

Almost a certainy. Jody won't want to pay Billups for 2 years and Cronin won't want to fire his friend.

And just as I was concerned in the summer of 2021, if we fire Billups with our current ownership and front office still in place, there is little reason for me to believe we're ready and able to identify and obtain a coach that would be a major difference maker. Plus, it won't matter unless we have a better roster.

 

[Whyachi]

Billups hasn't lost the team. The team just looks completely lost. There's a big difference... right ??

At least he's a better coach than Stotts. So we did have a positive there.

 

[DDolla]

I’ll take a 50 year old Horford for Nurk

Here is a trick on the photos. Edit them just a bit. Take the photo and crop it down about 10-15% and they usually post for me.
Another option is to post them elsewhere and copy and paste them here.

I so wish this was a true statement!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I'd be afraid to type that and post it because someone might not know I was joking.

The best play of the game was erased by the ref. Not sure what she thought she saw but the rebound dunk by
Sharpe was a thing of beauty.

My bet is she didn't have clear line of sight. If I could check I'd look to see if Shae's body was between her and the player Shae did not in fact foul. I've seen it so many times when refs could not possibly have seen what they called (even if they were accidentally correct). Refs assume too much.

OTOH, If she were in position to make that call -- WTF?

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm only making this post, in this thread, because Chris Craig is too lazy to open the 76ers game thread. That's the thread where I really want to say nothing important next

Anyone know who these guys sitting in front of me at the Celtics game were? Everyone kept coming up to the them and talking, including the players. The one on the left was rooting hard for the Blazers.

I think the woman in front of me was some sort of celebrity too, but I didn't recognize her either.

Wow nice seats Tince!

Kinda serendipitous, that's Millyz, my high school friend just released a track with him.

Thanks!

How about the other guy? He asked Blake Griffin to be on his podcast, just minutes after ripping him for not having hops anymore.

you had courtside seats?

Yes... very lucky deal. Nice to have a connection every now and then!

On my phone, I like to take a screen shot of a photo I want to use, and then post the screen shot. It's a much smaller picture that way.

I just copy and email it to myself and resize in the email. Then copy from email and paste in the post
