So do they fly home and then to Oakland tomorrow? Or do they just go to Oakland?

No. They don't get to come home. Straight to oakland with them.

HCP posted something about getting in to Milwaukie at like 3 am. That team looked totally burnt.

Totally and completely

Terrible game YES! But it counts as 1 loss. Move on, re focus, have dinner at the Lillards, and get back on the winning track. That being said, watching Chief miss, wide open three after wide open three, what would it take to get Otto Porter out of Washington? They're a train wreck in the locker room right now, and the Management said everyone's available. Obviously you have to make the contracts work, but i'm tired of seeing Dame make a perfect pass, only to see a wide open shot missed. We need another quality shooter. The Buck Fucker broadcast team said the Blazers don't get assist. Well it's hard to get assist when good passes go unfulfilled. The Blazers pass plenty, the finishes don't happen enough. Sauce teased us with a sterling opening night performance, but has been uber inconsistent since. I like Chief, but he's not a consistant shooter. So adding a Otto Porter could be huge. Obviously they want draft picks.

I like Porter but HATE his contract. That said, he can play some defense, has a good wingspan and can shoot. Can he handle/pass at all?

 

[Shaboid]

Ouch, I feel that loss. We need a victory against the former champs to overcome that. It's the only way.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah that was the worst loss I have ever seen

Are you too young to remember this?

Adding a guy like Porter would not have changed the outcome tonight. It is going to take a drastic change to elevate this team to serious contender status. Adding Porter is like adding 2 more lifeboats to the Titanic - except that they want to charge us for 2 aircraft carriers.

 

[tester551]

D69 roles his eyes at games like this. He was SO adamant about Giannis in that Draft over almost everyone else.

Yep. He sold me, and I was all in on Gannis at the time too.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Game was a fluke. Blazers still elite!

 

[HailBlazers]

Game was a fluke. Blazers still elite!

We haven't won in Milwaukee in Five years.

 

[blue9]

I'm sorry, but how does a 1/13 shooting night from Aminu happen? That should NEVER happen. Dame and CJ trying to shoot themselves out of a cold shooting night is one thing. Aminu trying to shoot himself out of a slump is like...I don't know what, but it shouldn't ever happen!

I had forgotten. We hadn't even traded Jermaine to them yet. Ok so this is the 2nd worst

Yet they kept giving him the ball

 

[Labinot41]

Well, i knew we would loose this Game. Didn't expect that Bad

 

[hoopsjock]

Damn, Aminu was one miss away from joining this illustrious list:

https://www.sporcle.com/games/Kloddz/nba-3-pt-brickers

BTW, I got 11 of 15 right in the allotted time. I doubt I would have gotten the other four if I had all night to think about it.

I got 12 out of the 15. I got lucky just putting random names in at the end to get the Phx 2007 one otherwise I'm guessing I would've missed the same 4 you did.

I should've gotten the 2015 Utah one, the 2003 NOH one I probably wouldn't have gotten unless I got lucky with just putting any name I could think of in there, and the 1996 Mavs one I wouldn't have gotten if I had unlimited time.

No. The Blazers do not need Otto Porter as one of the highest percentage swish3 shooters is already a Blazer. If the Blazers will just feed him the assists, Meyers can score 4-8 or more swish3s per game. Meyers is currently at 53.3% shooting, a level that I expect Otto Porter will not reach. Let's use the scoring power already available!

Aminu, like any other player, should take every open shot he has, if he stops taking them the offense stagnates

 

[Blazer4ever]

Didn't watch the game (woke up for the 4th quarter but there wasn't much to see) but my guess is we once again played shitty basketball with our proud leader, polled the best blazer of all time, completely embarassed on defense, playing with zero effort and forcing us to play 4 on 5 defensively.
With Aminu we're effectively 4 players on offense and with Dame only 4 ln defense, can get by against the Knicks, Magic, but we're not getting anywhere

 

[Blazer4ever]

If you want to be dominant, if you want to get tough wins on the road, you got to be able to concentrate and lock down defensively, we don't have this ability

 

[stampedehero]

My nipples are ready.





......wait, nevermind that.

Go Blazers.

Your gif speaks the truth.

 

[stampedehero]

We got destroyed. Thank God this sport is based on short term memory. Drop this shit and waste the Warriors.

 

[THE HCP]

Then they were talking about the food on the plane. The Blazers don't deserve any food on the plane. No food. No music. No fun. Everybody watches the game

Whaaaaaat?

 

[jlprk]

Ask for coffee or tea.

[Blazers Roy]

I'm just glad we got our first meeting against this team.
This is a horrible matchup for us.

We didn't deserve those last 2 wins either, that Knicks game was a shot practice assisted by the men in red.

In hindsight, I probably should have gotten the NOH one but was drawing a blank on what gunner they had back then. I got lucky on CHA by two people having the same last name, and the other one was pretty obvious. At least I redeemed myself by only having a couple wrong guesses!

Only in Stotts' weird offense.

That 3pt quiz was more fun than watching this game. I only missed the '96 Dallas one...tough to remember the players on that team. I guessed Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd, and Jim Jackson without 100% confidence. Luckily they were on the team, but I never would have thought of the correct answer.

Those are the three I figured it had to be one of, also.
