FUCK I WANT TO SMASH MY IPAD

mail it to me and I'll smash it for you...no cost

 

[Strenuus]

haha i like this. Covering your bases so that you may appear to come off as a Tunchi, you aren't quite there.

If I wanted to tunchi, I'd say something about Lowry, Harden, and how Dame still sucks, and to tell you to shut up. I ain't even tier 2 tunchi.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

the worst part is I can already see the post saying we were better off without Dame

Dame was out when the blazers shit the bed

I meant smash as in having sex with it

Those would not be smart posts.

 

[julius]

Because god forbid they look modestly engaged for two full games in a row.

two games?? At this point, I'd take two quarters.

what happened to our boy Tunchi Jr (AKA A$ap Meyers)? Gone until next season?

oh....LA style....I keep forgetting you live in zipper mask land!!

Oh I know, I'm not saying people are smart

 

[Five Second Violation]

Am I the only one who thinks of ET as an addition by subtraction candidate? He is so loose with the ball and brings NOTHING to the table. And his effort is pathetic

He did literally nothing positive during his stint there. It's obvious that he's a poor fit here.

They don't get paid to be smart, researched people... or actually watch the games.

 

[riverman]

Those slots on the Ipads are really tiny....

 

[SIeepwalker]

I don't get the hate on ET. I like him
He isn't playing well today but sometime you have a bad game

theres always gotta be a whipping boy. Im not going to pretend Im not guilty throwing players under the bus, but ET and Meyers are popular whipping boys.

 

[riverman]

I wanted to vote in the poll but didn't see an option for "themselves"

 

[Strenuus]

He did literally nothing positive during his stint there. It's obvious that he's a poor fit here.

1) You're talking past tense when that's not applicable.

2) He had a bad start, but he's come around lately... He'll be okay.

 

[H.C.]

Another 40 point quarter. Oh sorry 38 points.
Getting really annoying to watch Portland make the same mistakes over and over again.
Not contesting 3 point shots.
Not fighting over screens.
Careless turnovers.
Has been happening all year.

Getting real old.

Meyers deserves it. lol. He's been literal garbage for almost all his games.

He treats object like women.

Tell that to el prez' Ipad

 

[Strenuus]

I see what you did there...

I think he would be a decent addition to any team..... "if he wasn't given such a big contract."
But that reads like our entire offseason. The pressure obviously hasn't helped him.

Beat me to it

I mean yeah, but... like he can.. sometimes....

No just yeah. Leonard blows.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

we were better off without Dame

What a terrible thing to say! Shame!

 

[SIeepwalker]

Hey ! Wait !

...I want a lawyer

 

[LuckyShot]

Lol, I don't think it's either of those things. Our offense effecting our defense is the reason. A few missed on our end followed by few makes on the other has this team crawling into a shell.

The confidence of this team has been fragile all year.

Are we watching the same game? In the first quarter, we blitzed or hedged almost every ball screen and it was very effective. In the second quarter our bigs stood in the paint and watched our guards get picked and subsequently watched LA players get easy looks. Its the other way around. When our defense sucks, our offense can't get established. When our defense is good, it sets up our offense to take advantage.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers have beaten the Lakers 8 straight times. But the Lakers saw this defense and immediately got energized.
