Game Thread Boise Blazer's "Come Fight Me, Bro!" Lakers vs Blazers game thread

[Nurkalicious]

The only way to get into shape for a NBA game is to play in some NBA games.

NBA regular season games and NBA playoff games are literally nothing alike.

 

[KingSpeed]

He'd be more rusty if he waits to play. Those 3 "meaningless" games are important for him to get back in form before the Blazers see the highly intensive play off atmosphere. It's not about the level of competition. It's getting his shot back. Getting his legs under him. Getting back in form after not playing basketball for 3 weeks.

That makes no sense. If we play him now, he can play more in the playoffs because he will have a chance to be back in form. If we didn't play him now, he'd be a rust bucket in the playoffs. He'd get winded. He only played 25 minutes last game. Scored only 9 points. If we waited, it would be just like that, only in the playoffs.

Honestly, I’d take 9/6/6 from him in playoffs. I liked his playmaking.

Maybe. I think we can all agree that hopefully he doesn’t play too many minutes in this bullshit back to back though.

I'm making a point

My guess NBA regular season games are much closer to playoff games then one on one's with Steve Blake...

I think he will stay at 25

I love that Blake still helps the team.

Me too, I always liked him, I wasn't trying to take a shot at him.

I didn’t take it that way.

I do like the 8pt shot they have in the playoffs.

And the cube they use instead of a ball.

But the gun play is stupid. I mean come on, if you're going to shoot a ref use something better than Nerf.

 

[dviss1]

You’re asking how someone with a serious knee injury could possibly need rest?

Lol.

Couple things:

It wasn't a knee injury.

It wasn't serious.

 

[dviss1]

Ah yes the trustworthy blazers medical staff. When have they ever gotten anything wrong! Brandon Roy totally didn’t end his career by rushing back to the playoffs amirite

There’s plenty of argument to be had about it, just not with sub-human rookie scum like Nurkalicous!

Couple more things...

We have a complete turnover of the medical staff from the Roy era.

Nobody likes a whiner who plays the victim... It's annoying...

 

[dviss1]

Right, you just called me a bitch.

Wait no, you passive-aggressively called me a “bitch” by saying I was “bitching.”

My mistake! The latter is so civil!

Bitching, simply means exactly what you were doing, whining and playing the victim.

It doesn't mean you are a bitch.

It's English your first language?

This happened days ago, get over it and stop bitching about it

 

[dviss1]

So? I just read it. And this thread.

You whine incessantly. Figure out out.

Who the fuck is this guy?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Who the fuck is this guy?

He's Nurkalicious. And you know better than to be calling people clowns.

He had a rough start, but he's settling in. ignore his first week or so and give him a chance. I think he'll be alright.

Sorry, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sorry, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Thats why I like to have my kids with me when In in public. Hopefully they’ll be like oh thats the guy with the kids and not remember anything else.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Sorry, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

But you get innumerable chances to give grace, and I implore you to do so.

Lol. That's me. Even when he's not with me he's in the room. I'm always talking about my greatest accomplishment.

 

[dviss1]

I always do. He's not helping tho...

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The ability to give grace is not dependent upon the recipient.

 

[dviss1]

The giving of grace is not dependent upon the recipient.

Grace is a two way street IMO.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Grace is a two way street IMO.

Hmm...we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. You have a different definition of the term than I do.

I'm never going to show some people grace. Ever.

Trump will never get it from me.

So no we don't define it differently. We simply choose different times to express it.

There are just some people I'm never going to give grace to.

Our new poster may receive it from me or not. It depends on him.

When you say "it depends on him", that indicates that you and I define it differently.

It's OK.

Courteous goodwill (the definition) doesn't determine who should receive it. It doesn't indicate who's deserving of it...

Grace is:

Gods
Riches
At
Christ
Expense

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The thing about grace is the recipient may not deserve it, but he (or she) needs to accept it change and be better with the grace they've been given. I think it's important to be willing to extend it to everyone, but there's a vital step the recipient has to take.
Now I understand why you would say you're not willing to extend it to certain people, but and this is my opinion so I am not trying to speak for you, I believe that it comes from a place of not thinking the recipient would accept the gift (so to speak) and become better a better person with it...

Also, I think this is an OT discussion and probably doesn't belong here.
