When does the game start?

Blazers are thinking about Th'giving dinner at Dame's mom's house tomorrow in Oakland.

When does the game start?

After the fat lady sings and she was a no show

 

[Chris Craig]

Wait what, seriously?!

Yeah he fucking sucks and they keep giving him the ball

 

[KingSpeed]

Sit his ass down

Need him on D/rebounding to have a chance.

Amusing.....let me know the post I've even even hinted at that I place all the blame on Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts and NO. I've got a gift card for you when you quote that post for me.

Point is, I'm allowed to point out a role player playing poorly/making bad decisions.
You however seem to have an issue with that.

Silly I had to explain it. But talking to you is silly as well.

 

[blazerkor]

Our defense sucks tonight

 

[Chris Craig]

Need him on D/rebounding to have a chance.

Well don't give him the ball on offense

 

[Strenuus]

exactly. Hanging even with them. Need to tighten D now.

Being down 20 and staying down 20 isn't hanging with them. Hanging with them (in my opinion) would be going on runs and bringing the D.

 

[Strenuus]

STOP.

SHOOTING.

AMINU.

 

[Strenuus]

Take the starters out, stotts. Jesus. why are they still in there? Call a damn timeout and put the bench in.

 

[Jon]

Horrible effort tonight

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL

 

[EGame]

we bad

 

[Strenuus]

CALL A FUCKING TIMEOUT WTF

 

[BonesJones]

It’s not over

What about now?

 

[KingSpeed]

Yikes

 

[KingSpeed]

What about now?

Not yet

 

[KingSpeed]

I saw Clips come back from 28 down with 8 minutes to play in Memphis in playoffs. Anything is possible.

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts had Dame play the entire 3rd quarter on a b2b down 20+

What a dumbass.

 

[KingSpeed]

Need a 41-11 quarter, something like that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Need him on D/rebounding to have a chance.

You mean standing 10 feet away from Giannis all night

 

[jonnyboy]

I generally turn these games off but I'm genuinely intrigued right now. It's like a car on fire I cant look away.

 

[LuckyShot]

And here is what happens when a good team with motivation plays against a team coming off a back to back near the end of a road trip and that puts out little to no effort.

 

[KingSpeed]

Stotts had Dame play the entire 3rd quarter on a b2b down 20+

What a dumbass.

He wanted to win the game. That’s not dumb. It’s called competing.

 

[Chris Craig]

Need a 41-11 quarter, something like that.

Its over man

 

[BonesJones]

You’ll see

What will I see?

 

[H.C.]

Stotts had Dame play the entire 3rd quarter on a b2b down 20+

What a dumbass.

I mean I get why he did it, because unless Portland makes a run in the 3rd he's not bringing Lillard/CJ/Nurk/Aminu back in the 4th.
But yeah I'm not sure that's the best decision. Maybe take a lesson from Pop and rest a guy at the end of a long road trip.
