Game Thread EARLY/MORNING GAME! GAME# 22: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - FEBRUARY 6, 2021 - SATURDAY, 10:00, NBCSNW

[Sheldon Shape]

Poor Thibs having to try and win with only 10 lottery picks on his roster, rough deal.

Rock solid logic. I guess Terry Stotts failed by not getting anything out of Mario Hezonja.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Bro, these 2 aren’t worth your time and frustration. I learned to not engage with them anymore and it makes your experience on this forum much more pleasant.

You're right.

Yep, he did. just like Thibs is failing with 10 lottery picks right now.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Can’t we all just agree and sing Kumbaya?

 

[OneSport3]

You're right.

You can’t win with someone that tried to argue that the Warriors losing KD, Steph, Klay and Iggy was equal to the Blazers losing Nurkic, Hood and Collins last year.

 

[Labinot41]

I love Melo but he's a horrendous player at this stage of his career. looked completely washed

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

The Blazers looked awful. I know it isn't a popular opinion but I can't stand Lillard anymore, i think he's another Lamarcus that we'd be better without

 

[Serbian]

Dame is starting to become the Melo of Point guards.m

I saw dame feeding wide open shooters who are brickin it

It’s probably more difficult for Melo to accept his diminishing skills when he sees his 2 best buddies in LeBron and CP3 still performing at an elite level at his same age.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Yep, he did. just like Thibs is failing with 10 lottery picks right now.

Then don't bring up having Mario Hezonja in the rotation as the reason why Stotts failed to do anything in the playoffs last season.

Consistency has never been your strength.

Stotts totally failed with Mario, I'm with you! Stotts was no better than D'Antoni or Mike Malone in the playoffs vs the Lakers (no worse either). In fact, only 1 coach beat the Lakers twice in the playoffs. I would gladly take him over Stotts!

Now go back to talking about losing teams who play winning basketball and winning teams that play losing basketball. That's consistent!

 

[twobullz]

Shit! I missed this game. I assumed it was a normal starting time.

Why didn’t Elleby play?

Because at this point he is not as good as Dame, Trent, Hood or Ant.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Gotta be super discouraging for Elleby to have a baller game and then get no run at MSG

 

[Tince]

Because at this point he is not as good as Dame, Trent, Hood or Ant.

Surprised this even has to be explained, but clearly it does.

 

[Zach Collins Enthusiast]

It's frustrating. If we were an up and coming team with a bright future I would be happy with this record but this team is supposed to win now and right now we're not favorites even against the Knicks.

It's nice cherry picking if you have your head all the way up Stotts' rear-end, but for the rest of us we compare Stotts' poor post-season record to the coaches you just listed.

And guess what? He's nowhere close to any of them.

Time to build a roster with healthy players, including a two way all-star over 6'-6" to put next to Dame. Anything else will be a failure to support him.

I'm watching Ariana Grande sing "34+35" on a loop. I find it much more uplifting than "Kumbaya."

Highly recommended.

Let the rest of the board know when you get your head out.

Maybe give it a good wash.

Sorry, not fair to compare Stotts to Malone using playoff success against the Lakers. We should just look and their head to head record in the playoffs against each other.

I'm happy to keep talking basketball. I would prefer you stop talking politics, anatomy, or other personal insults to get off topic.

 

[kjironman1]

Hi. I'm back.

I don't care.

I've never brought up the Lakers. I don't know why you are. So now it's not fair to compare their post-season records? Why? Because you quickly lose the argument?

I'd prefer you to not be dishonest or disingenuous but we see how that's going. If you can't handle being called out on your bullshit, then you probably should stop interacting with me. Hence, why I told you I was done with you.

But, you begged for more and are crying foul.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I don't care.

You responding to me, "I don't care" actually screams "I care deeply."

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame could be better if he didn’t need to have the ball so much. Even the coach said it last time. They move the ball better without Dame

 

[kjironman1]

Keep thinkin that.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Keep thinkin that.

Valentine's Day is coming up. You know I will. ;-)

[Sheldon Shape]

I love you too, honey.

I'm not the one making up quotes and denying the real quotes.

You have told me you're done with me many times, but I'm glad you keep coming back, I have nothing against you personally.
