Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #68 - BLAZERS VS RAPTORS - MAR 16, 2025 - SUN - 3:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

[KingSpeed]

The good news for those of you that think we need wins to help our future is that we have the Wizards tomorrow night and we're only 3.5 games out of the play-in. The bad news is that after that we only play 3 teams in our last 13 games that have worse records than we do. We haven't beaten a good team/a team with a better record than us since that unfortunate but good run we had going into the play-in.

We are fucking checkers players in a game of three dimensional chess. I enjoyed a lot of great plays tonight, the fact that Toronto didn't play their best players down the stretch cheapened the win. That being said, we fucked ourselves over again this afternoon. SMH.

Also Deni and Tou are so fucking good, they don't need anymore reps this season. Sit those two and try to get that 8th spot. I should stop saying shit like that because we'll likely end up with the 11th spot, without even a play-in game to show for us because we're just that dumb.

We still have games against Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Spurs, Jazz, Kings. Whether they’re behind us or a little ahead of us doesn’t matter much. They’re winnable. They we have home games against teams we almost beat on the road such as the Cavs and Celtics. Championship is still in play.

League is investigating 3 teams for tanking right now...76ers and Jazz and one other I can't remember off hand but they are going to penalize the Jazz for sure for sitting their star.

I think they fined the Jazz 100K a couple days ago. Sixers won today.

OKC vs Portland was the other

Toronto might get looked at for this games since they blatantly sat Barnes in the 4th Q; probably not though

Utah was fined 100K....that's nothing. The next time, it's 250K...that's still nothing

I read they believe the 76ers were sitting a healthy George and one other starter.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

That win cost us 2 years.

Unacceptable by this organization. They need to be better.

I want to know which equation you're using to get this conclusion.

no equations in advanced differential calculus

Ah. Is George ever healthy though?

TOR Closing lineup: Caselton on a 10-day. Lawson a 2-way player, Robinson who was picked off of waivers, and two end of bench guys

Despicable

Despicable

I don't think so, I think within the confines of the current system it's just smart. We're being idiotic but don't pretend it's despicable to be smart about how you try to get your team in the best position to win big.

It's a shame to the game and fans.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Too bad we didn’t have players like Deni and Tou during Dame’s prime.

is that the lyrics to a song by the Kinks?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Too bad we didn’t have players like Deni and Tou during Dame’s prime.

We only got them by trading him.

 

[Hoopguru]

To me it's obvious that Jody and Bert told JC & CB that we need to see improvement this year #4, in order to consider resigning them both. If JA & BK told them tank for gold, and dont fuck around, we'd be bottom three easy.

Any team can be “bottom three easy” if they tank.

Matisse means gift of God. Which checks out because I was yelling God damnit when he blocked that shot

Every win sets this franchise back

And Lawson and Robinson played more minutes that anyone else. And it appeared to me that Robinson is a really bad player.

thats right!

 

[Phatguysrule]

Any team can be “bottom three easy” if they tank.

That's the spirit!
Damnit...

 

[THE HCP]

Surprised by the win but I like wins. Clingan is going to be a hell of a franchise center as he learns..the guy is a rebounding, shot blocking beast! Hell of an end game tonight. Fuck tanking.

we just filled out our NCAA brackets, and he picked UCONN to win it all! Go figure!
