Around the NBA- February 2018

[illmatic99]

So whoever runs the social media twitter account for Portland is sending these out to every team. It’s a thread long of cards to every team and it’s kinda stupid

That's cute!

I take back what I said, some of them are very clever

Mitchell is SO good, fuck!!

And E Payton was traded for a second rounder and had a triple double

 

[H.C.]

Irving to Rozier - why didn't you pass
Rozier - get outa my face.
Irving to Ainge - trade me

So at the ASB the Rockets, not the Warriors are top seed in the west thanks to us lol

AND the Blazers are 2.5 GB the 3rd seed and 2 games games ahead of the 10th place in the west... thinnest of margins coming up these last 24 games.

Chris Bosh STILL trying to make a return. I just don’t see it with his medical history but man I miss him on a basketball court. I still remember that game against us when he pretty much single handedly won it for the Heat without Wade or Lebron playing.

What sucks the most is he developed into the exact type of player that so many teams now covet. He might have still been making all star games.

Who will be POTW in West? Dame or Davis?

I don't think they'll have a POTW for this week. They didn't last year.

We would've been much better off.
And there would've been no need to get rid of Vonleh in that scenario either.

How would we be better off? Henderson is out for the season and struggled last year as well.

You really need to stop taking photos of yourself while using one of the airport urinals.

Did anybody else hear Chuck just tell that story about flying to Portland to convince the GM to trade for him? Maybe I’m just too young but I’ve never heard that story before.

Edit with link:

Maybe not those exact details, but yeah it was common knowledge that Chuck pressed hard to get traded to Portland at that time.

 

[KingSpeed]

I assume the deal was Kersey/Buck for Chuck? I also remember there was a Kersey/Duck for Akeem deal out there and I was against it. Stupid me.

I bet the trade was something like Kersey, Cliff, and Drazen.

I mean if I was Philly at the time that’s the deal I’d make.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Man, did they blow it. At the time I, like every other Blazer fan, didn't like Barkley and was convinced we'd win with what we had - but in retrospect, ugh.

 

[BrunoSOC]

BUCKs needs to back on this

Sucks. Jokic had triple double in first half.

And have Buck Williams off the bench?

 

[Lukee]

Lakers playing some great basketball. Without Lonzo. IT looks good, still struggling with his shot, but other parts are getting better.

I loved Barkley style. Still do. He's still my favorite all-time player. Great sense of humor.
Even read Chuck's autobiography. Never told my fellow Blazer fan/friends all this till years later.

Could’ve been traded in a separate deal for a SF
