vassell blocking Clingan turning into a Kornet 3 point play. KORNET.
bruh, i cant even

 

[ehizzy3]

Fuck this game

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m back. WTF kinda offense is this?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If we tie the second half we can keep this under a 30-point loss

 

[Sedatedfork]

So... the keepers are the 35 year old and the guy with no knees?

We excel at kneeless players

 

[Sedatedfork]

Splitter needs to find a way to get ejected. Thats what I would do

 

[ehizzy3]

Who gave Dame a black eye?!

 

[LayneStaley]

Doris just blasted us for being cheap on a national broadcast.

 

[BlayZa]

without Deni n Time Lord i dunno wtf we'd be.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Well let’s see if there can cook something up in the third. Get this thing to 10

 

[BBert]

We've got them right where we want them.

 

[Irish Trader]

It’s really amazing we are only down 20 points

 

[Sedatedfork]

I mean that flurry to end the second gives me some hope.

 

[Chris Craig]

Splitter needs to find a way to get ejected. Thats what I would do

And then disappear and never be seen again.

If the shoe fits.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Spurs

 

[blazerkor]

Oof. Deni is really playing out there and Rob is doing a decent job. We're totally outclassed.

I'm glad we got that one win with Wemby out the second half because this Spurs team with or without him is much better than we are... but we knew that coming in.

Need to send woke Doris to the sideline reporter job and get a real world analyst

 

[Ripcity4life77]

OMG -- This is was the plan -- Tiago's version of the old rope a dope

Make them think they are kicking our ass only to wear them down and charge back for the win in the 2nd half

LOL

 

[BlayZa]

surely Deni knows a few euro players that we could get?
we are just burning $ on trash.
$32M on Holiday (2 more years with 2nd being a player option)
$32M on Grant (same as above)
$11.5M on Matisse (expiring thank fuckin god)
$11M on Scoot
i think we got like $25M on the books for Ayton this season.
and $15 on dame to be injured.
Sharpe n Camara get into $20M per next season.

this could be the most expensive line up of absolute trash in our franchise history.
the ROI is horrible.

[ehizzy3]

That last foul Vassell had on Deni sjouldve been reviewed

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The Blazers have 7 more shot attempts than the Spurs. So something is a plus.

That supports my opinion that Portland is playing just as hard as the Spurs; they just don't make their shots.

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t see how we improve this roster without gutting it. How are we gonna get off Grants contract? If we can somehow roll out a Dame/Deni/Giannis lineup next year I don’t care who we trade. Time to stop worrying about the future, I don’t think we made the right picks with all these lottery picks. Might as well go for it. Get a 2-3 year window.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sooooooo... watching the jail blazer documentary on Netflix doesn't sound so bad now.

 

[LayneStaley]

That last foul Vassell had on Deni sjouldve been reviewed

Definitely. We do that to Wemby it’s probably an ejection.

Dundon will clear house

Good

I think if you stay out of the lux tax you get a great ROI in this league.

I hope this doesn't make us give up on the young guys. Either way I think we will see a lot of change to this roster in the off season.

 

[BlayZa]

halftime crew on the money, we have no playmakers.
