[Cugel]

Couple of offensive powerhouses out there tonight.

 

[Cugel]

Do you think DC re-injured the same digit as before?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

OMG we drove to the hoop was not sure they knew how to do that -- LOL

 

[Chris Craig]

Do you think DC re-injured the same digit as before?

Same hand/thumb yes

 

[Chris Craig]

What’s the logic we are basically a shoe in to the play-in

Idk maybe to save ourselves more embarrassment.

I guess just trying to understand Deni reinjuring his back with no contact, no sudden turn or wrenching. He just backed the defender down and passed out and his back was hurt. If his back is that fragile how did he survive getting out of bed this morning?

 

[THE HCP]

Deni not returning

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Refs were so shocked they drove again they forgot to call the foul -- lol

 

[Irish Trader]

This game is not going down as a classic

 

[Ripcity4life77]

How the fuck did Thybulle miss a fucking layup -- we released the wrong SF -- Rups would have made it -- LOL

 

[Irish Trader]

Thybulle has to be one of our worse pickups.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

This quarter was an instant -- Bleh --

During the AS break did the team forget how to play or something ??

 

[Chris Craig]

Thybulle is just a little to energetic. Pull it back just a smidge.

 

[Cugel]

Feel sorry for those fans that paid to watch this. Hopefully they gave the tiks away

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Can we bench Jrue for Wesley -- Jrue might be better but at least I know he is going to give it 110 % -- right now I think Jrue is giving like 75 to 80%

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers should be rocking it with all the Suns players out. Even with Deni out.

 

[Cugel]

DC has embarrassed some of those PHX scrubs tonight.

 

[wizenheimer]

with Deni out, Clingan is the best player for Portland

it was really fucking stupid to play Deni. Portland's decision making about his back injury has been terrible

 

[Chris Craig]

Good to see Toumani back in sorts

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Deni , Scoot and DC and Camara can stay the rest are fighting for there job next season Period

x 1000

 

[ehizzy3]

Great bounce back on the defensive end. It helps when the other team is airballing a lot of threes lmao

 

[PCmor7]

We all deserve t-shirts with "I watched the worst first half of offensive basketball this season" for enduring that.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Just sit Deni the rest of the season. See you in April

 

[twobullz]

DC needs to work on his passes from the top of the key.

DC needs to work on his passes from the top of the key.

And from the free-throw line kicking out.

Someone tell me the last time they remember Billups outside of pat on back but coming up to a player and coaching them up ?

I am not totally sold on Tiago ( 80% sold on him ) but I do think he has a ton of potential but I kind of want to see him bring in his own guys for the bench if / when he gets the job full time.

There is no need to change the coach unless you think the Blazers have a contender roster.

 

[twobullz]

Jrue makes some bad turnovers at times lately.

Hey. Don't kick a man when he is down. My memory is that Billups was constantly coaching guys up on the sidelines.

 

[blazerfan11]

Jrue makes some bad turnovers at times lately.

Jrue is difficult to figure out. Kind of reminds me of LeMelo ball with less flair.
Just when you think he's genius he makes a bone-headed shot/pass.
