[Chris Craig]

Let's get another one

 

[wizenheimer]

I haven't heard whether or not Naz Reid was suspended for the fight in the last game?

 

[Pinwheel1]

I haven't heard whether or not Naz Reid was suspended for the fight in the last game?

Yep, Facebook is the only thing that seems to mention he is suspended for 2-3 games. Not a good source

 

[THE HCP]

Isn’t this Sidy’s last game with us?

 

[Jelloman]

So weird to see we only have 4 guys out for the game.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Isn’t this Sidy’s last game with us?

I assume they will strategically decide if he should play either tonight or tomorrow night. Then, during the break, cut Thybulle or Rupert.....and keep Love on the inactive roster.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

If we're going to cut one of them seems like it would be better to do now and let them have the break to find their new team.

Unless there is some information or injury updates or such we can get during the break.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Would be a huge win if we get it tonight. Utah is tanking hard so we'd then have a great shot at being .500 during the all-star break.

Wolves, Suns, Clippers are only West teams we haven't beat.

This is one of only 6 clearly difficult remaining games on our schedule.

Who the hell knows though. Whenever I've bought in that we're legit good we've stunk. Whenever I've written us off we've outperformed.

 

[wizenheimer]

Yep, Facebook is the only thing that seems to mention he is suspended for 2-3 games. Not a good source

I saw that but it was dated the same night as the brawl. So it isn't really credible

 

[noknobs]

I haven't heard whether or not Naz Reid was suspended for the fight in the last game?

He was just fined $35,000, not suspended.

 

[wizenheimer]

This is one of only 6 clearly difficult remaining games on our schedule.

Who the hell knows though. Whenever I've bought in that we're legit good we've stunk. Whenever I've written us off we've outperformed.

I count 10 games against teams with better records and 8 of those games are on the road

and another 5 games against teams within 1 game of Portland's record (Bulls-Hornets-Hawks-Clippers) and 4 of those are on the road

problem is gauging which teams will be working the tank, and when. And toward the end of the season, which teams will have their seeding determined and be resting their stars and starters

Portland may end up in a dogfight with the Clippers for HCA in the 1st play-in game. Blazers are only 1/2 game ahead with 2 games left between the teams and the Clippers are already up 2-0. This might hinge on when/if Garland returns

 

[wizenheimer]

He was just fined $35,000, not suspended.

thanks!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

MN new guy Dosunmu looks like he will be a real addition. Two nights ago 29 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and two steals.

There's late games against Den/SAS where it's possible they are locked in a playoff spot and resting starters.

LAC 2x are a wild card - they traded away a lot of talent but have no picks so unclear what they'll want to do.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Ant has been downgraded to questionable due to illness. Looking like he might not play tonight.

 

[crandc]

Stand with Minnesota. ICE out!
Now, beat Timberwolves.

 

[inconceivable]

Writing style short and punchy. Kinda like the way someone talks to their dog.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Ant has been downgraded to questionable due to illness. Looking like he might not play tonight.

Wow - that would be a big benefit to us.

One of the only 6 clearly difficult games on our schedule. Without Ant I'm not sure I'd rank the Wolves as a great opponent. I'd think they are still favored over us but it would become a very winnable game for us instead of a likely loss.

I don't have a dog.

 

[BassPlaya]

I don't have a dog.

This always reminds me of the time a couple of my coaching buddies took their team to a camp. I went there the first day to watch the team. At the end of the day, they asked me if the Walmart in town was a supercenter. I told them it wasn't.

They got back from camp and told me they drove around the town all night looking for the Walmart and couldn't find it.

I told them the town didn't have one.

They said "We asked you if they had a Walmart" and I reminded them, "No. You asked me if it was a supercenter."

 

[twobullz]

What is Jason Benetti? and where is Kevin?

I think for halftime entertainment, we should each field our AntiFa All Stars and see which group can create more chaos. It would be a battle royale for the ages.

Red Panda, best halftime show in NBA history. So glad I got to see her perform in person.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Randall should have two more offensive fouls; i guess the refs got tired of interrupting the game?

 

[Irish Trader]

What’s Sharp injury report. Return anytime soon.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Drawing fouls against the home team is not an entertaining product, therefore it is not going to be called.

 

[Irish Trader]

Scoot looks a step slow tonight. A bit sloppy with the ball
