I didn’t expect to win more than 1 game. I was just hoping the losses would all be competitive and not complete second half breakdowns.

When Deni got that offensive foul I knew something was up.

 

[Everything Beagle]

The Rockets fucked up with the Durant trade. Hope that’s not what’s about to happen here.

I’m sure when WE get Durant he’ll play good

 

[BigGameDamian]

Splitter has a hard time making in game adjustments.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can't be any worse than Grant

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Splitter has a hard time making in game adjustments.

I agree. And not a fan of his substitutions or lack there of.

 

[Idog1976]

such an agenda tweet posted by an agenda troll

Sharpe played 13 minutes in the first half when the Blazers won the half 58-41

Sharpe didn't play in the 2nd half when the Spurs won the half 73-35

and some dumb fucking asshole decides it's time to trash Sharpe. And another one decided to post the tweet

People trashing Sharpe are legit fucking morons. Splitter is the issue. He values defense over offense to an absolutely retarded degree especially when we desperately need a bucket. Why would you go after Sharpe and not Grant who earns 2-3x as much (I'm not bothering to look and ACKHTUALLY guys can just STFU in advance) and is a black hole on offense. Sharpe is the only hope of a Superstar on this team IF he puts it together and gets his head right.

I don't see anyone untouchable on this team although weirdly if there is that guy maybe it's Clingan. That said Sharpe, Clingan and Scoot are the main guys I would keep simply because Deni didn't show it in this series and I kinda think we've seen what he's got and we ought to sell high. Sharpe and Scoot would be selling low and both have loads of potential and are >24 (Sharpe turns 23 at the end of next month). Keep the young 3 (and Dame due to no trade clause and contract based upside if he gets a full recovery) and get out there like you're trader Bob circa 1998...just with the cheapest owner in sports.

**Gulp**

This is why you humble yourself. We go from the cool calm assassin (Dame) to a guy who gets hellla happy off random shots. Smh

Oh so now Dame is a calm assassin. So he's not "feast or famine" and you're not wishing for a real superstar.

Seriously you've been at this bullshit for so long, you don't even remember that you constantly shit on every player we've ever had. Sure you move from one guy to another but there isn't a guy that you haven't complained about and openly wished they were someone else.

 

[Idog1976]

Also, I hope everyone sees why those of us who said it wasn't worth it to lose our draft pick in a historically stacked draft were saying. I get some of you are getting up there in years and worried about seeing success during your lifetime, but if you were going to live another 40 years guaranteed would you still feel the same way? If you're older than me, that means you already saw a championship, I was 1 when it happened. What WOULD have been best for the team was to miss the playoffs and be in the lottery, no doubt about it now.

 

[GoZers]

I’m just so glad they made the playoffs it’s so important to get this experience even though they lost a lottery pick for it

 

[Mediocre Man]

Will.

Most likely traded is Deni

Everyone should just block him. Trolls FEED on people getting mad at them. I blocked him years ago.

Not many tools in his chest unfortunately.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Thank you @blazerfan11 for the tickets! My kids are now fans, especially my older one! Awesome seats too, very nice experience.

 

[LayneStaley]

Why didn’t Thybulle play?

 

[LayneStaley]

It’s gonna be Kawhi huh?

 

[wizenheimer]

Why didn’t Thybulle play?

had to give Scoot minutes because of his offense....and Sidy because of his defense?

or....possibly.....Tiago was in over his head

 

[Chris Craig]

It’s gonna be Kawhi huh?

Better than what we've got now.

 

[Idog1976]

Not many tools in his chest unfortunately.

He had Thybulle and Sharpe not playing in the 2nd half. Sharpe was shooting well in the first half and we didn't even see him in the second. Criminal. Not to mention constantly letting the Spurs go on huge runs with no timeout...again!

 

[Idog1976]

It’s gonna be Kawhi huh?

Giannis sure if we can get him for relatively cheap, and while he has injury issues, Kawhi is far, far worse.

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot and Shae are having a very disappointing performance today. Plus Clingon having a horrible series. Our young guys :’(

I believe Clingan is the rebounds leader in the series

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers being outscored 134-78 in the last two 2nd halves is a pretty clear sign that one coach knows how to make halftime adjustments while the other coach has no clue

 

[Idog1976]

I believe Clingan is the rebounds leader in the series

Ehizzy is ridiculous with his opinions in this thread. Giving up on Sharpe who is just about to turn 23 and is far better than Deni was at his age, is an idiotic opinion.

 

[Idog1976]

Blazers being outscored 134-78 in the last two 2nd halves is a pretty clear sign that one coach knows how to make halftime adjustments while the other coach has no clue

Yep! Or how to identify when to take a timeout or that defense alone does you no good when you’re down 10.

 

[wizenheimer]

after the game I went outside and mowed the lawn. I resisted the temptation to drag the mower over my short term memory.....I have vodka for that I guess

 

[Freshtown]

 

[HailBlazers]

All I wanna know is, did Clingan actually travel in the 1st quarter.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Our new owner is currently 5-3 in the playoffs.

 

[Chris Craig]

All I wanna know is, did Clingan actually travel in the 1st quarter.

Yeah, he traveled to the bench.

Sidy played like three minutes, don’t blame him. Maybe Tommy Gun didn’t want him injured because he’s trading him before the draft
