What did I do? I post my honest thoughts on the scrimmage and I have Eric at my neck talking a ton of shit because of it.

Well, you did call him immature, tell him to grow up and told him he was being toxic, so it's not like you're completely innocent.

Yep. I was just having fun, talking hoops, and all of the sudden, out of nowhere, the guy starts going off on me, unprovoked! Then he promises to leave and doesn't!

True, I'm still trying to not have any sort of negative reaction to people coming at my neck for no reason, so my bad.

EDIT: This sounded sarcastic but I promise it's not.

I read this with Trumps voice lol

 

[KSF-ERIC]

It's just so tiresome when a certain person in here thinks he can shoot better than Crabbe and then consistency implies he'd be a better coach that Stotts. Two years ago, he bragged about doing a video about "why Stotts is a joke." No respect.

All good--mature response and mea culpa is appreciated.

I think the Blazers are the only team not to win a scrimmage game

 

[BonesJones]

Still, we were just talking basketball like normal until this:

You panic too much. Remember when you said we'd lose to OKC in 6 after we lost game 3? That was classic. We lose one game and you blame Stotts and say we have no chance lol.

I don't see people constantly holding your bad predictions against you Eric. Only reason I brought them up is because you brought up one of mine. Would be nice to avoid that.

Also, I'm just giving my thoughts on the game man. If you truly think I'm panicking then you're reading it in the wrong tone of voice. I think you're just using that as a trigger word but it'd be nice to just discuss basketball without all that.

If you disagree with my post, tell me why and we can talk about it. Don't derail it with stuff like this.

I read this with a toddler's voice. LOL.

I’m not concerned with exhibition games.

Really??

Same.

Gabriel playing some good ball and now his shot in falling he might be the answer behind Zach next year.

Yeh, it was fun watching him play today.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well that's two hours I cant get back

You think about me too much apparently. I definitely do not think I can shoot better than Crabbe. Probably said it just to troll. Disagreeing with what Stotts does doesn't mean I think I'd be a better coach.

I find it weird how you're so caught up on things I don't even remember though. Move on.

Melo looked kind of tired.

 

[James lamphear]

All I got to say there better bring it Thursday. If this defense there trying they need throw down the toilet because it's not good.

 

[Blazinaway]

Melo looked kind of tired.

after 3 scrimmages I am tired of watching Melo, hope he's gone next yr

Friday

We don't play on Thursday. If you want to know why we'll look like on Friday, watch the first 10 minutes of the first scrimmage last week against Indiana. Once we saw we could dominate those 10 minutes, we pulled back, let the kids play, and kept our offensive strategy secret.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Our one mistake was not playing Anfernee all 48 minutes.

Melo's gonna hit the game winner to get us in NBA Finals.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Agreed.

Don't ever change, Eric.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Turns out that age is, in fact, something other than a number.

 

[BonesJones]

Neither am I, I'm concerned with our defense.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Neither am I, I'm concerned with our defense.

Or the lack thereof.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Our starters shot 14/22 from 3. They're the only guys who will play much.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Neither am I, I'm concerned with our defense.

Our two best defenders (Dame & CJ) have only played together for 20 minutes in the scrimmages. We dominated the first quarter of the first game and decided, fuck it, we're ready.
