4/7/12 Bucks @ Blazers Game Thread: Pick a direction, TANK OR PLAYOFFS????

[THE HCP]

Damn, only 30 posts in a game thread and at least 5 were bullshit ones from me.

 

[EGame]

Hickson is the only one trying to rebound...

 

[Darkwebs]

3 quick team fouls by the Bucks this quarter and there's nearly 9 min left.

 

[EGame]

Refs have been pretty bad tbh.

 

[Darkwebs]

What the hell? The Wolves lost to the worst team in the West. Why is Minnesota tanking? They don't have a pick this year.

 

[C_note]

Wow did anyone else see that? Dunleavy takes a 3 right in front of Kaleb Canales, and Canales gives a yell and a big stomp right behind him as he's shooting. I love it.

 

[Darkwebs]

From this day forward, we gotta step up our tank. The Wolves are distancing themselves from us.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nasty rejection by LMA! Nice!!

 

[DUB]

Great block LA!

The Easter Bunny came early.

So your wife could take on a few more of us during the game.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Tank you, Bucks.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I love watching Babbitt trying to play defense! It's the tankymost!

 

[DUB]

Tank you, Bucks.

Nah, we aren't tanking.

We're just tired from the back-to-back, the OT, and the long travel.

 

[Darkwebs]

Thabeet is a waste of space

 

[Darkwebs]

Luke padding his stats with FTs.

 

[crowTrobot]

Thabeet is a waste of space

worst performing #2 pick since len bias

Blazers outscored 62-31 in the 2nd half tonight! Never seen a team doubled up in the 2nd half. Defense was non-existent,won't blame fatigue.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We are the tankions, my friends!

We'll keep on tanking till the very end!

We are the tankions!

WE ARE THE TANKIONS!

Of the world!

 

[MARIS61]

This is obviously Nate's fault.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The second unit kills any flow they have.

Flynn reminds me so much of Telfair.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's more like it.

 

[magnifier661]

So did we win?

 

[Mediocre Man]

So did we win?

Yes

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

So did we win?

Indeed.

-Lottery balls.

 

[KingSpeed]

What happened? I fast-forwarded through the game. We had complete control midway through the third. What the fuck happened? For playoffs, we must now win out our last 9 games.

Looks like the fellas finally got that tanking memo. Bout fucking time.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Is tanking really worth it now? The Blazers seem to be solidly in the 11th spot, 2 games (losses) from 12th, and 2 games from 10th. Moving to 10th would give 3 extra number combos out of 1000 number combos. Will trying to win games give the team good draft lottery karma? Either way I don't believe in karma, mojo nor voodoo. Also, am I simplifying things too much? I can't bring myself to root against the team during the game, even though I buy into the reasons for tanking. Let the ping pong balls (or number combos are whatever) fall where they may. Go Blazers!

 

[jlprk]

You call this a game thread? I had to go to Wendy's, but it's everyone's duty to watch the game and post.

 

[jlprk]

The game ended 3 hours ago. 58 posts so far. Now that I think of it, I saw a lot of nefarious characters jostling me for my chicken sandwich. I think that's a clue to where this message board was. I thought they were just a harmless bike gang, but I better be more cautious if it's posters from here.

 

[Darkwebs]

Uh oh. Hope the Blazers sit Nic for the next couple games or more. Per twitter:

Chris Haynes ‏ @ChrisBHaynes
Nicolas Batum said he told Kaleb Canales to pull him out during tonight's gm. Says his left knee was aching and he didn't have much to give.

Nicolas Batum says he's suffering from left knee tendonitis from playing too much basketball.
