No Tou or Shaedon on the injury report. I don't know what the fuck our team is doing. We shamelessly tanked in Dame's best statistical season but this season somehow we can't even effectively tank the last few games?!?!? Just bullshit. We went through three seasons of tanking, one of which with an all nba third teamer on the roster but now in a far more talented draft than last year we can't fucking tank at all. SMH.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

When is Sidy Cissoko gonna get some big time minutes? This is really difficult watching games where there is no longer any advantage to winning.

 

[wizenheimer]

Sharpe & Camara starting....Blazers don't want to risk losing this game apparently

We’re building winning momentum into next season.

 

[B-Roy]

We are 10th because the Suns somehow keep losing holy shit. And the Jazz are 1st and need this loss. Play the two ways the entire game I beg.

11th

 

[B-Roy]

Evan Turner is hilarious.

We were always going to pass Phoenix. If Bridges didn’t hit that 3 and if we had won the game we tanked in Chicago, we would’ve made the play-in. We were so close.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Evan Turner is hilarious.

Yes, he needs to be a regular next season.

Utah has the best odds in the lottery already sewn up...they share those odds with two other teams

 

[KingSpeed]

If we win tonight, we will have the closed the season going 12-13 on the road. So much to look forward to going into next year.

 

[wizenheimer]

teams are starting to rest player for the playoffs; Boston's starting lineup tonight:



Josh Giddey has another triple-double

 

[blazerfan11]

Should have been this season. Instead we got a lot of Simons, Grant and Ayton.

All three have another year (or more for Grant) on their contracts.

 

[blazerkor]

We've got to lose this one. Nice to see that first quarter from Shae, his shot looks so nice when he's focused... also nice that it didn't give us an insurmountable lead.

I wish they'd sit Tou for the second half and the last two (no pun intended) games.

I really like Michael Holton but dude just admitted that he didn't know before tonight that stocks are blocks plus steals.

 

[twobullz]

Games on Roots sports for those who don’t have the blazer stream. Utah announcers

 

[blazerkor]

Should have been this season. Instead we got a lot of Simons, Grant and Ayton.

I bet Cronin off loads two of those guys this off season but we'll have to wait and see. I surely thought after all of that talk about this being Shaedon and Scoot's team that those guys would have been gone but either they weren't easy to move or more likely fuicking Bert said he wanted to keep the vets to win more games.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

All 15 people at the game tonight are really getting their money's worth.

 

[blazerkor]

Just having ET do this game... we have to get a color commentator who has played on our team. The looseness but instant knowledge and anecdotes are just a different level of commentary.

 

[blazerkor]

Keyonte George is definitely thirstier for attention than Shae but I'd take Shae every day of the week but only once on Sundays because Keyonte is still pretty good.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Good timeout, Billups. figure out how to lose!

 

[illmatic99]

shaedon and tou need to be glued to the bench right now.

wtf are you doing chauncey

 

[Mediocre Man]

THIS IS FUCKING INSANE!!!!!

This franchise has no direction. LOSE for fucks sake

 

[illmatic99]

just gross negligence

 

[B-Roy]

unserious franchise

 

[Natebishop3]

I don’t understand what the fuck this team is doing.

 

[Natebishop3]

shaedon and tou need to be glued to the bench right now.

wtf are you doing chauncey

He has gone completely rogue. I don’t think he’s coming back and he doesn’t give a shit.

 

[illmatic99]

shaedon wants cooper

 

[illmatic99]

come on jazz

 

[Mediocre Man]

He has gone completely rogue. I don’t think he’s coming back and he doesn’t give a shit.

Then fire him in season like Denver and Memphis
