[BonesJones]

I hear you. I keep clicking ignore on BonesJones but I still see his posts. He ruins this board for me. Maybe we can chat about that game away from here. I'll PM you.

If I take you off the game thread, I do everyone a favor. Bye.

 

[DUB]

Melo is so much fun to watch on the post. He’s got those crafty vet moves that make the rooks look foolish.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nas gets an offensive board right after coming into the game. Gotta love his instant energy!

 

[BonesJones]

I'm gonna Kingspeed the rest of this game for entertainment purposes.

 

[Labinot41]

Should we get him ?

 

[BonesJones]

Nassir gets a stat!

 

[BonesJones]

Should we get him ?

If we do, we're guaranteed champs.

 

[Labinot41]

Bruh Lillard 0/5 from 3...

 

[H.C.]

9 point lead, after being down 6.
Not too bad.

 

[craigehlo]

Give Jeff Green that Pau roster spot.

 

[BonesJones]

Good job Whiteside! MVP?

wait... what?

Don't ruin my forum

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

oh, I see what's happening.

 

[BonesJones]

wait... what?

I'm Kingspeeding so that I don't ruin the forum!

 

[BonesJones]

I didn't know Simons owned a magic carpet!

 

[H.C.]

great play by Whiteside.

 

[James lamphear]

A lot better on both side of the ball this quarter.

 

[BonesJones]

MVP, DPOY, and the first full-time starter to win 6MOY. I'm calling it now.

 

[craigehlo]

Wait...did Stotts call a timeout before we gave up the entire lead? Is that even allowed?

 

[BonesJones]

Yup! Funny how it's such a problem to expect this type of basketball out of this team.

Are you okay Torey?

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts is the greatest coach in the history of sporting competition, so he makes his own rules!

 

[KingSpeed]

Our bench outscoring theirs 15-7.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The Blazers have a few guys who one on one are good defenders but the team defense is not there. I have theories as to why. Simons and Little, in general, are quick enough to stay in front of their man, they move their feet pretty well, but they don't help well, it's interesting to watch..

 

[KingSpeed]

Give Jeff Green that Pau roster spot.

I wouldn't mind that. He was huge in Game 7 of 2018 ECF. Anytime you can get a versatile scorer with deep playoff experience, you do it.

For real, dude would be Finals MVP for us!

It's more than just that. The starting lineup had problems defending.

I mean, we're the best defensive team since the Bad Boy Pistons, except we're better!

 

[KingSpeed]

Torey- cut it out. You're embarrassing yourself. No one is with you on this.

 

[BonesJones]

What in the world did Redick just do...

See, no problem with that defense. That was good defense.
