I know. I have no ESPN.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wow! Boston just can’t put the 76ers away.

 

[blue348]

Lol no actual change

Another thing on the lineup thing -- for 2 quarters ish the lineups for most part were working meaning the issue is with the coaching and the players not adjusting to the Spurs Defense again comes back to coaching.

I want to think Tiago is the right guy and maybe getting him a better lead assistant might help but I am tired of playing the hope game when me as a fan and prolly others have had our hopes dashed ( crushed ) so much over the past couple years. This is why I am more accepting ( open ) of getting rid of players like Sharpe , Scoot ( even though I think he is coming around ) and others but hoping only gets you so far and usually at least for this team leads down a dead end street.

If I had, say, a computer and a VPN but not, say, cable… how would one access the footage of this event?

[BBert]

Lol no actual change

PSYCH!!!!

 

[Everything Beagle]

The spread is 10.5; I say we can beat that.

 

[Everything Beagle]

PSYCH!!!!

He’s such a crafty coach

 

[BigGameDamian]

Playoff Tiago!!

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Tiago Mind trick -- LOL

 

[Chris Craig]

Not surprised

 

[Everything Beagle]

I wonder if the team wasn’t ready for serious playoff coaching moves like shaking up the starting lineup; they’re not playing to go to the finals so swallowing pride for that move doesn’t feel as worth it compared to if they felt able to make a deep run.

 

[BBert]

WTF ESPN. Gonna show the game?

 

[Everything Beagle]

The edible is hitting so a question: what if we just had two seasons a year? Like, play 40 games, do a three round playoff with the top teams, then do it again after a month off around an All-Star Game?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

ESPN is having mercy for us the fans cause we all know how this is going to go.

They are going to make us think they have a chance to beat the Spurs only to get complete fucking amnesia in the 3rd and 4th quarter forgetting how to play and blow a lead again.

Thanks ESPN -- LOL

Fucking Not Blazers Broadcasting

I would like to see Sidy on Wemby cause something I have noticed is smaller / strong players who are not afraid to get after him sometimes gets to him. Also if Sidy gets in foul trouble who the hell cares but Sidy also does some of the little things that players outside of DC forget to do like rebound , block out etc.

I ended up doing a 24hr pass on sling

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Good / stupid foul by DC putting a elbow right into Wemby's face -- LOL

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I see Sheel (red Blazers shirt) & Cronin are sitting together a few rows behind the Blazer bench.

 

[Chris Craig]

Wow

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Blazers looking forward to Cancun already

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yeesh. Might be an early night for me

 

[illmatic99]

1, 2, 3 cancun...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Cugel]

This will not end well. But maybe yang will get to play the 4th

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We are playing hard but they have shot-makers and we don't. Thy have a very good and mobile rim-protector and we don't.
