Game Thread GAME# 13: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - NOVEMBER 17, 2016 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

Yeah. You totally missed the point.

No I didn't.

 

[Strenuus]

Beibs clueless there lol.

 

[Tunchi]

You guys don't kill me here but honestly really consider the lottery this year

That's how teams like us get better. You guys seen what happened last year. The "good" young team with 2 stars who made the 2nd round didn't get shit for free agency

If we atleast get a lottery pick we can package all sorts of goodies for somebody

Bc this path that we are on will lead us to 37 wins and maybe the 8th seed

Looks like we're going to be having the season we were supposed to have last year

 

[Strenuus]

All this fluff talk... and we getting blown out. No one cares. lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

We should start these five guys.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Leonard had a second chance to hustle down there for a miss, luckily the guy made it cuz Leonard wasn't there.

 

[H.C.]

Changing your prediction to 23 wins?

 

[KingSpeed]

Vonleh has had a great game

 

[PCmor7]

No I didn't.

This is like when I coached pee-wee basketball and talked to 9-year-olds.

expectations are shot

No, it's not.

No:


a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
"don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city"
synonyms: chauvinist, partisan, sectarian; More


Says nothing in the dictionary about it being a slur.

To be fair, depending upon which dictionary you look at, "faggot" has multiple definitions. Sometimes, being a derogatory term towards gay people, isn't one of those definitions. In dictionary.com one of the definitions is a "dislikable person" so according to the dictionary, he used the word correctly, when talking about Clyde.

And by definition of the word, you guys are being bigots towards him, because you're being intolerant towards his opinion on the proper use of that word (And his opinion is literally supported by the dictionary).

So what're we doing? Using the dictionary as our standard for what words are acceptable, or not? If we're gonna ban all words that can be considered derogatory terms, that's cool but I never see any censorship when people use the word cracker on here. Or when people say racist things about HCP. I don't care if HCP says he doesn't care, it's still offensive.

What a shitty fucking game.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think we should start these five guys tomorrow.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

with a couple minutes left no excuse for ballhogging by Napier.

 

[EGame]

All this fluff talk... and we getting blown out. No one cares. lol.

gamethreads were better when you professed your love to every blazer.

We were actually doing well in those games, too.

 

[illmatic99]

Meyers hits two threes. Shabazz starts chucking

LOL. I criticize as hard as I love, boo. <3

 

[BonesJones]

If they were playing at home they'd be booed off the floor.

 

[Nate]

This team is DESPERATE for a center. It's to the point where they might as well start Meyers, at least he spaces the court.

I would actually like for him to start.

Yeah, we actually have a member with the name "honkicracker" a compound racial slur.

 

[PCmor7]

For being so bad on the defensive end, we sure don't shoot well for what is supposed to be an offensive team. Of course, that's offset by the lack of size.

We overcame that stuff last year, though.

What concerns me most is just the general lack of effort or interest.

 

[KingSpeed]

how do we get Cousins? Do we have to give up CJ?

 

[Strenuus]

If that's what it takes, and DMC signs an extension, you absolutetly do it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is there a timetable for Aminu's return?

 

[KingSpeed]

Hurd feels good about tomorrow lol

 

[Nate]

Compound

 

[BigGameDamian]

We suck

 

[Strenuus]

I predicted 129-112 Rockets.

6 points off, 3 on each side... I feel weird about that.

 

[PCmor7]

This looks like the team I expected to see last year. Except now it's being paid like one of the elite teams in the NBA.
