Game Thread GAME# 36: SUNS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 11, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[Scalma]

We had this game and threw it away. Still too many players that are just turnstiles on defense. If Hood is in the rotation over Nas after CJ and Nurk are back I’m not sure what to say.

rotation? If he’s on the team after the deadline..

 

[illmatic99]

Dame still complaining to the refs after the buzzer. What an idiot

god this place is fucking toxic. even the mods now?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We can’t beat the fucking suns this year they’re our kryptonite we’ll get swept if we meet them in the playoffs

He should never be in the game in the 4th

 

[kjironman1]

That sucked.
Got to get them next time. I think they can full strength but it will take a good game.

 

[Serbian]

Did way play suns or lakers?! Last time we got this raped by refs i don’t remember. Nobody can convince me that refs dont look at betting lines before game. Together they put money on whichever team they favor. Sadly we gotten screwed a lot this season. The absolute biased decisions through out game is too obvious. I fucking hate the rigged nba

I really don't think so. Blazers full strength beat them.

Blazers lose to the Suns at home with a horrible 4th quarter. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will start soon:

All I am saying Dame needs to figure out the refs are not going to call fouls for Portland most of the time and not to depend on them. He spends too much time going for the foul. He needs to go for the shot. If they call it good, but they probably won't.

 

[Haakzilla]

Yuck. /

 

[Tince]

The Suns +3500 to win the title are tempting odds!

CC gets pretty emotional in game threads

 

[kjironman1]

Stotts has been 0 for 5836 this season in challenges. Maybe he finally gets one right. It would be huge

He got that one right but the refs messed it up for him.

lol some of the shit you post in these game threads are worse than the trolls on here. need to step back a bit bro, especially the stuff you post about Dame

 

[Tince]

terry needs to stagger Enes and Roco. these Melo @ C minutes are killer

Our options at center for 6 weeks has been embarrassing.

True

 

[bobf]

Not enough stop in the last 5 minutes and got hot not soon enough.

We lost the game with all the stupid plays when we had a 10 or lead.

 

[illmatic99]

What basketball god could remain that we haven’t already pissed off? I don’t even care at this point.

distinctly remember another similar post here by @B-Roy i think when he wished melo would get covid or something cuz he wanted him out. CJ and Nurk got hurt a couple games later.

Blazers are not beating the Suns this year

 

[wizenheimer]

this is likely a homer-take, but I sure think Dame should have had more than 5 FT's

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Ayton built like Oden - plays like a timid/less rebounding version of Kanter.

 

[illmatic99]

he shoulda had that on the handchecking alone.

 

[Darkwebs]

I really don't think so. Blazers full strength beat them.

That's what I'm thinking. If we get CJ and Nurk back, it'll be a totally different ball game.

 

[kjironman1]

That certainly didn't help.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Not sure what I'm looking forward to more - CJ playing, or because CJ is playing, Hood won't be....

Good maybe we will get a high lotto pick and turn things around.

 

[brooklynballer]

Shitty fourth quarter sunk them. Need to get these next two.

Shitty fourth quarter or did the Suns execute an actual game plan? The Suns did the same thing in the third quarter of the previous game against the Blazers, where they completely locked them down defensively. As we’ve seen all season, because this team has no game plan whatsoever, a singular good quarter by the opposition is usually enough to send the Blazers home with a ‘L’.

 

[bobf]

Blazers looked better than the Sums tonight till we beat ourselves.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The Blazers, missing their 2nd and 3rd best players, were in a position to win the game and then collapsed late. With those guys, I'm confident we are the better team.

It’s interesting that you guys don’t make the connection between us playing badly and the refs completely jobbing us on both ends.
