GAME NOTES
​

• Chauncey Billups is 1-3 vs the Bulls and coach Billy Donovan
• The Blazers will play the Bulls again 3/18 in Chicago
• The Blazers still owe the Bulls a 1st rnd pick for the Larry Nance Jr trade. The Bulls will probably never see it

[Chris Craig]

Wonder if we will have Malcolm, Jerami, or Scoot back this game?

 

[Whyachi]

Wonder if we will have Malcolm, Jerami, or Scoot back this game?

if it wasn't for Shams, this team would be so jacked up on Toradol they'd be in the playoff bracket. We hate you Golden State, and we're going to love the Dubs new rookie next season.

[Whyachi]

Blazers get their full compliment of available players back, other then Sharpe. Badji also questionable.

 

[Whyachi]

Bulls got an open layup off the tip off.
that's different

 

[maxiep]

Brandon Roy is NOT tier 3. He is at lowest Tier 2, and perhaps Tier 1. Only his knee kept him from Springfield.

Brandon shouldn't be down there with Cliff Robinson. No way. Whomever wrote this is not diversed in Blazer history.

B-Roy was a much needed leader for a struggling franchise. Created a winning culture.

Uncle Cliffy was arrested in Downtown Portland for drive by shootings with a paintball gun.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers not shooting great, but getting a bunch of scrappy rebounds.

Bulls up 3 after 1

 

[Whyachi]

Holton accusing refs of using a slick ball

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeeeeeeth !!
sliced his first 4, but nailed that turkey

 

[blazerfan11]

What the Fuck is going on?

Scoot isn't allowed to play point guard?

Billups has Brogdon bringing the ball up and Scoot playing off the ball.

 

[Whyachi]

these teams are not good.
I should have taken the under

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

What the Fuck is going on?

Scoot isn't allowed to play point guard?

Billups has Brogdon bringing the ball up and Scoot playing off the ball.

Trying to reduce his TO count?

Scoot isn't allowed to play point guard?

Billups has Brogdon bringing the ball up and Scoot playing off the ball.

Scoot initiated offense a lot when he was in even if he didn't bring the ball up. We played better with him running the show tonight.

 

[blazerfan11]

Trying to reduce his TO count?

Simons and Brogdon were happy enough to have a couple horrible turnovers to make up for it.

 

[Cugel]

Moar ISO!! There has been one really good pass tonight and it was the lob from Scoot to Ayton

 

[illmatic99]

0 flow with Ant on the floor on the ball. They're paying him a ton of attention and we have nothing to show

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot had a good dime to Ayton. At least we have a legit highlight to watch 58 times tonight.

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm not watching. Waste of time. Wasted enough time today.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

For some reason I'd managed to avoid looking at the standings, but I just saw this:

That is just pathetic. Ten games behind Utah. Utah's roster is not better than ours and their coach is YOUNGER THAN LEBRON JAMES.

 

[Whyachi]

Hamberslow snoring stat... Scoot has more total points then 3 bench rookies and the Mavs rookie Center

 

[illmatic99]

Ant is playing way too loose

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hey, the Blazers heard I hated all these high-scoring games we have nowadays and decided to take unilateral action.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Ant is playing way too loose

...and that's the way to(o) lo(o)se

 

[B-Roy]

We’re playing like poop but losing this is pretty important to keep Chicago in front of GS

 

[illmatic99]

Wtf is this halftime entertainment

Utah makes all the NBA experts look bad. Nobody wants to talk about the Jazz.
>Lauri instant All-Star - just add Utah
>Sexton got hammered for sucking, now he's pretty good.
>Lakers gave up on Clarkson, so his career should nose dive. The exact opposite happed.
>Utah has big dudes, all the zippy zap guard ball runs into a wall.

Last but not least, Utah owns double first round picks for a decade, while several contending teams have 0 FRP's.
jealosy is surrounding that team

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

When you die and go to purgatory this is the game they have playing on repeat in the lobby.
