Game Thread GAME# 38: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - JANURARY 6, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

Maybe I over-estimated Aminu's intelligence when I said he wasn't as dumb as Outlaw?

 

[blue32]

Tank machine baby!!

News flash - people on TV can say whatever they want too, nothing is stopping them but their morals and the threat of losing their job. You can lose your job for shit you say online too, it's happened before.

So go ahead you and everyone else. Say exactly what it is you want, just don't forget it reflects on you and the forum when you do so.

The people on TV have a responsibility to be fair and supportive in my opinion. I mean what was up with the headline in OKC about Durant being "Mr Unreliable" a couple years ago? That's probably why Durant will leave. I don't want Dame to leave too.

So quick just tweeted Blazers could of had mcollum playing if they notified refs of error and received a technical to start the game. Wow lol

CJ wasn't allowed to play. Blazers called the League office and were told he had to remain inactive.

 

[illmatic99]

Have I mentioned how much i hate Doc Rivers? Scared, wimp ass bitch.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So CJ could have played but we didn't want to give up a tech?

Quick wrote this up on what went down http://www.csnnw.com/blazers/cj-mccollum-inactive-explained-confusing-details

The Trail Blazers COULD have played McCollum tonight. Here's the rule, which falls under Section V—Conduct:

c. A technical foul called for (1) delay of game, (2) coaches box violations, (3) defensive 3-seconds, (4) having a team total of less or more than five players when the ball becomes alive, (5) a player hanging on the basket ring or backboard, (6) participation in the game when not on team’s active list, or (7) shattering the backboard or making the rim unplayable during the game (Comments On the Rules—G) is not considered an act of unsportsmanlike conduct.

It's not clear why the Blazers elected not to utilize this rule.

There's nothing for it. Fire Stotts. Tonight. Too many choked-away leads, hacka-Jordans, and now this.

 

[illmatic99]

Terry, smh man. Just smh

[Chris Craig]

This game is like watching the he curious Case of Benjamin button...the Blazers just keep regressing into infantile embarrassment...even a commercial with baby Lillard

 

[illmatic99]

if correct the TANK is on! Montero gettin minutes!

Its hard to believe.

 

[Strenuus]

Terry wont be fired, probably... but man, that's egg on the face. lol.

[Chris Craig]

We better lay the smackdown in the second half

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Meyers is the one that should step up.

Unlikely.

 

[illmatic99]

We better lay the smackdown in the second half

This would be the greatest. Come on, Dame. Shake that fucking rust off and make some shots.

 

[illmatic99]

Meyers is the one that should step up.

Unlikely.

Hahahahahah

 

[HailBlazers]

We better lay the smackdown in the second half

I say we foul out all our players.

 

[BBert]

That is poor sportsmanship. Clippers should let CJ play. Wow. I have zero respect for Doc now.

"Now"??!!

 

[BBert]

Meyers Stepania.

LOL

 

[Chris Craig]

I say we foul out all our players.

Let's just foul Jordan every Clippers play of the second half

 

[PCmor7]

So the Blazers screwed this up THREE times?

1. Marking CJ inactive

2. Signing off on it without looking

3. Not taking the tech foul and just playing him

 

[illmatic99]

"Now"??!!

That asshole and this flipper team has become the target of nearly all my hate over the last year. I hope they get swept in the first round

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't understand why they didn't take the technical and play him.

 

[HailBlazers]

I don't understand why they didn't take the technical and play him.

They probably don't know the idiotic rule.

Ding.

Ding.

Ding.

 

[Sinobas]

Only thing worse than this game is this game thread. Shame on you, that's completely classless.

Do any of you guys go back and read what you said after the game? Some of this shit is downright pathetic.

If you don't like the game thread, then fuck off.

 

[Chris Craig]

They probably don't know the idiotic rule.

They will now

 

[KingSpeed]

If you don't like the game thread, then fuck off.

I agree
