This dude looks “old”

 

[TYDame]

Clippers and Suns lost tonight. Blazers now tied with the Clippers

 

[THE HCP]

Luka with 100 pts in 24 hours……

Luka with 100 pts in 24 hours……

Almost a record. Joker had 104 iirc.

Dame had, over a 2 game stretch, 71 and 39 points. But they weren't consecutive games. The game after he scored 71 he scored 25, but it also wasn't the next day.

Impressive by Luka.

 

[julius]

Tho Im not saying this is the best, but it's easy to forget how insanely hot Damian could get.

Damian had 51,61, 42 in a 3 game stretch back in the bubble.

From 1-20-20 through 2-01-20 he had 61, 47, 50, 36, 48 and 51.The first 4 were not within the same 24 hour period, but the last two were. He had 99 points those two games.

 

[Phatguysrule]

2nd, 4th, 1st pick in which the picks were no brainers.

That's how you tank.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I was simply highlighting their series of fortunate events. Wemby is KD plus 6 inches.

I think Wemby is actually quite a bit more physical than KD.

He'd be better than KD even if they were the same size.

I think Wilt did it in under 3hrs

Yeah he sucks…..he didn’t get 100 FAMS! Not impressed.

 

[julius]

They should totally trade him while they can get anything for him. Might even need to throw in a few of those Milwaukee picks to get another team to take him.

Clippers and Suns lost tonight. Blazers now tied with the Clippers

Blazers have a chance to beat Wolves with Edwards injured. Would give us sole possession of the 8th seed.

8th seed is a big advantage over 9th as you win either of two games and can make the playoffs. Can fight harder to play against 1 or 2 seed.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Phatguysrule]

Learn to count. That was 4 steps. But yeah. Still a travel.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Ya in today’s NBA where the players get the freedom of movement to dribble and just throw run around, take a few extra steps if they need to.

 

[THE HCP]

Blazers have a chance to beat Wolves with Edwards injured.

Bro, we almost lost to the Pacers.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Bro, we almost lost to the Pacers.

Bro we've also beat your Lakers twice.

I mentioned in the other thread we're still an underdog. But I'd say we have a non zero chance to beat the Wolves. Helps that we aren't traveling and probably more healthy than we've been all year.

What do the Lakers have to do with what I said?

What do the Pacers have to do with what I said?

 

[THE HCP]

You said we could win tonight yet we almost just lost to the worst team in the league last game. We do NOT have a chance to win tonight against one of the best teams in the league.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

You said we could win tonight yet we almost just lost to the worst team in the league last game. We do NOT have a chance to win tonight against one of the best teams in the league.

Well I decided to look it up - fanduel has the game as +131 so that gives us 43.3% implied odds vs Wolves 56.7%

If anyone was as certain as you they could just bet on Wolves, easy money right?

Or perhaps your statement of "NOT have a chance" is flat out incorrect.

I get you have some bizarre schtick of wanting to predict Blazers failure. I guess that avoids any scenario of you having to face disappointment. Some of us instead have far less professional/personal emotions tied to the team and prefer to just have realistic positive or negative expectations.

 

[Phatguysrule]

whoa. that is huge. damning. so what does this say about the lotto by extension? just hypothetically?

If you're planning to do it, do it right.

 

[THE HCP]

If you're planning to do it, do it right.

You sound like Mrs. @THE HCP

 

[kjironman1]

You sound like Mrs. @THE HCP

Hmmm More low hanging fruit.

 

[THE HCP]

Hmmm More low hanging fruit.

I think that’s the problem.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I actually see people saying online that since this went from a defensive stop to an offensive possession that it was not a travel... That thw offensive steps don't start until you turn back around?

I'm not so sure about that...

 

[kjironman1]

I think that’s the problem.

Never been a problem for me.

You were saying?

 

[KingSpeed]

we know the NBA is unlikely to shorten the season in any significant way because of revenue

but with an 4-division/2-conference format:

32 games = home & home against 16 teams from other conference
+ 12 games = 4 games each against 3 division rivals
+ 36 games = 3 game series against the other 12 conference opponents

80 games

I wish we could go back to playing 5 games against division rivals. A series that’s winnable one way or another.
