@Wade Garrett @illmatic99 @TorturedBlazerFan (You guys likes his lack of reading)

You guys all get an F in reading comprehension.

I noticed you calling Whiteside lazy and then he had a put back dunk

So you call me out for something that I did mention. C'mon man.

I knew HJ from the other place. He wasn't like this.
Been hanging out with Bones I'm guessing. It's rubbing off.
That's cool though..just adds to the "charm"...

Nah guys, it's just bullshit when someone tells people to basically back off of criticizing Stotts or Tolliver and then proceeds to say similar stuff about another player. It was Wade that began the "forum policing" this game. I don't see a problem in pointing out hipocrisy. I don't know why you have to use this to take another shot at Bones too.
 
Well the blue team beat the red team!
Waitress, another mai tai please!

Mario seems to be a decent rebounder. He was 2nd on the team tonight with 8. I am not sure rebounding will be an issue with him.

My post was in regards to playing Mario as the center with Dame, CJ, Skal, and Hood as the others in the lineup collectively, not about how skilled of a rebounder he is individually.

I really like that play Mario like Green from GS.
And let him push the ball up court the same way Green did against us. Mario can play that role!

Lazy Whiteside tonight.

@hoopsjock ..
That was my comment.
That is hardly comparable to the ridiculous barrage being thrown around in true premature panic form.
Double standard?
I don't see it, but it obviously has upset you, and I am curious as to why you would pick such a benign comment to mount your case.
 
BIG WIN !! and a clutch challenge. Damn Dallas looked unbeatable for stretches, glad we pulled this one out.

I hope Collins can come back soon. I feel he was holding his own defending Porzingis.
Luka is really good.
I don't know why Skal is in the doghouse. Every time he takes the floor I feel like he's doing good things.
Tolliver needs to be banished to the shadow realm. Every time he comes into the game the other team goes on a big run. EVERY TIME. This time it was a 15-0 run to close the quarter starting as soon as he subbed in.

I just get annoyed when someone sees a lack of production or a bad matchup as being lazy. Quitting or being lazy is pretty much the worst things you can say about an athlete in a game so when you were getting on people for criticizing actual coaching decisions and the play of someone who was -15 in 3 minutes then call someone on your squad lazy it just bugs me.

I think of you as a pretty positive guy so it stands out when you make a comment like that no matter how benign you think it is.
 
We won in spite of the coach. Tolliver just destroying this team everytime he's in. It's not his fault. He was supposed to be a presence in the locker room. It's the coach's fault for playing him so much when Skal is waiting right there. Stotts screws us again by putting in Mario instead of Skal when Hassan fouled out. Such brain farts by Stotts.

Tolliver played 3 minutes. Stotts saw what we saw and he didn't touch the floor again. And Mario played well after Hassan went out. Not going to tell you what to do, but looking for negative things in any situation just to be able to bash Stotts isn't a good look.

You sound like an apologist trying to reduce the giant hole the Blazers had to come back from due to the Stotts' under incompetence. 3 minutes? Trying 3 games, buddy. Mario was alright and we're lucky we came out fine but Skal would have been the right move no question. Porzingis is a weak rebounder. We totally took that away by expecting Mario to body him. You only go small if the guy you're bringing in can stretch the floor. Mario can't. Not yet.

Your excuses are not a good look.

Until tonight's action, Tolliver had played small minutes in only 2 games. That's not a large enough sample size to just completely scratch his name off the team, especially if he is better in practice. You have to play your guys at the beginning of the season and see who fits. Given the fact that Tolliver didn't sniff the floor in the 2nd half, I'm pretty sure Terry didn't like what he saw.

I'm not an apologist and will voice my concerns anytime there is a legit coaching issue. Terry isn't perfect. He coached well tonight though and your hatred won't allow you to see it.
