Around the NBA (And Oregon High Schools) - January 2018

[BigGameDamian]

This Clippers Rockets game is big. Blazers are tied with Denver and Clippers for 7th or is it 9th?

 

[ripcityboy]

I sometimes wonder how much worse off we are than the Clippers. They have a few guys that are worth something and can attract free agents. In three years will they be better off than us?

 

[Destroyer of Worlds]

Haha!! Lowry looked like he was BOUT IT!! I'm not sure Simmons really wanted any..

Lowry from philly too

 

[BigGameDamian]

Looks like the Blazers will be back in 8th place after this game folks.

 

[Labinot41]

I prefer a good lottery Pick instead of First Round exit

In other news, its January 15th.

 

[ripcityboy]

I hate Blake. But that slam was deserved.

 

[handiman]

Did we really just drop from 7th to 9th without playing a game? Damn tie-breakers.

That’s what happens when you lose to good teams most of the time

The Warriors have won 13 road games in a row. That seems pretty ridiculous. They might be for real.

Trash team that can only focus when fans root against them.

Plus, the joke's on them. By winning the 1 seed, they're going to have to steal a win at home in every series if they want to win the title.

Not to mention that they will have to face the blazers in the first round. Who wants that?

So, what does that make the Blazers, who have a better record on the road than they do at home?

A great road team and generous hosts!

Not. Swayed.

Somebody needs to stop hitting the pipe.

Or get better stuff.

Rip City Project == part of the fansided clickbait empire. I'm sure there are similar "articles" popping up on all other NBA team fansided sites, probably using the same template with players names changed.

I neither inhaled, nor clicked. It is literally impossible to get LBJ here even in the short term
without multiple people doing things that would immediately get them fired.

Where is Dame's picture?
This is the type of crap that makes sure he doesn't get respect. Dame should be right there in front of Curry.
Even Portland's fan base has though who think he should be traded? WTF?

Should have Dame at 44 games!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

That is pretty F'ed up! ^

WTF???? They don't even mention the guy who held the record that was broken.

That's like posting a graphic of Roger Maris breaking the single season home run record with photos of Jimmie Fox, Hank Greenberg, Hack Wilson and Ralph Kiner, but no Babe Ruth.

What a crock of shit.

Fuck you ESPN!

For one year, Rudy Fernandez held the record for rookie 3 pointers made. No wonder McMillan pigeonholed him, which led to his dissatisfaction.

Also, why is Jordan even in that graphic? Great offensive player, even a great mid-range shooter, but hardly one of the great perimeter shooters. It's like ESPN doesn't know how to make info-graphics that don't include Jordan or the '90s Bulls.

For comparison. As a baseline.

A pretty low baseline, considering his career 32% shooting on threes.

That is exactly what i was thinking. WTF?
I mean i'm not saying he is better than MJ or Curry but he did hold that record. Give the guy credit.
