Poeltl played 12 minutes. That's not it.
I just named two bigs as an example, but they were definitely getting away with a lot of contact in the paint, no matter which combination of SAS “bigs” you want to go with.
 
The double standard is the problem, not the criticism. When someone is critical of a player or coach and you respond with something along the lines of "calm down" or "it's a long season" or "give them some time" and then a few minutes later you are criticizing a player you can't see the irony there?
I realize my avatar represents the movie Road House, but please allow me to borrow a line from First Blood........"Let it go......"
I've stated my case, and moved on.
I suggest you do the same while I still have a shred of respect for you.
Going after me for an observation (which many echoed last night) days later is very unbecoming.

Huh? The only other big that played was Trey Lyles. They had a complete lack of size most of the game.

Gay plays in the paint a lot defensively too, it's not like you have to be a traditional center/power forward to play in the paint, or to hack guys but whatever lol.

This is some bullshit man. If you wanted to "let it go" then why post "careful..." along with several other posts in this thread jabbing at people?

You know damn well what you were doing so enough with your morality posts.

Once again, here you are doubling down on your double standard.

So Portland was scared to go into the paint because of the physical imposing nature of Rudy Gay and Trey Lyles?

Go back and read what I said, I said they were hesitant to go to the paint because they were getting fouled and not getting calls. Which is pretty typical SAS stuff, which I also said, I think the refs are scared of Pops, his team for years now gives up amongst the least of FTA's. Everything he argues for he eventually gets those calls too.
Did I say they were intimidated? Or scared? Why are you trying to twist it into that? Weve seen for years some teams, get reputations and are just allowed to do more defensively then others and in true circular form, teams start to play differently because they know they can't get those calls.

So you are upset with him because he called Whiteside lazy and then telling others saying similar things to calm down?

No, a few minutes prior he was telling people to stop being critical and chill and all that when people were criticizing Tolliver and Stotts. I asked him why it's okay for him to say something like that when he was telling others to stop (ie the double standard)? He didn't like being called out on this and resorted to saying stuff like Bones is rubbing off on me. Then he tried to claim there is a difference between observation and criticism but then proceeded to keep jabbing those critical of Stotts and Tolliver while doubling down on his "observation."
 
Fully realizing I should take my own advice and "let it go.." one thing ...
"Lazy Whiteside tonight" was my comment.
I didn't invent the adjective. I've heard it for years..that's always been one of the knocks on Haasan's game..."sometimes you'll get active Whiteside, sometimes you'll get lazy Whiteside"...
Guess I made the mistake of assuming others were familiar with that narrative, which is why I consider it an observation, rather than a criticism.
I think anyone familiar with my posts/opinions should know I am not a person who criticizes.
 
Well starting this season makes me not miss unengaged lazy Mo Harkless for the first 20 games...he never came into a season with fire.....Bazemore has come into a season with fire...so has Hood...I like the change

I went back through the thread. I saw he jabbed at Bones quite a bit. Some of that was deleted last night. I removed a few back and forths between them just now. I could see how him attacking Bones would rile you. Seems Bones was not defenseless.

OK..
This us what I saw last night.
He just seems disengaged..afraid to mess his hair up....maybe...lazy?

He's not hurting the team.
The lack of Lillard and Whiteside are hurting this team, so far.

Overreact much?

Most of you had this game over with 9 minutes left!..

Besides these and the back and forths with Bones I could find no other real jabs.

I don't disagree with him that Lillard Whiteside did not have great nights. Yes, Lillard brought us back. We wouldn't have been in the game without him. I get that. I see the other side too.

It doesn't seem wade was using double standards. He made a note of how he saw Whiteside and Lillard playing and yeah said chill out a few teams, which was probably not totally neccessary.

As for the back and forth with Bones, not acceptable. On either side. Thus the posts were removed.

Enough of the attacks during game threads. It takes away from the game and derails the thread. Everyone is not going to agree with everyone. There was a lot of sarcasm and snarky unnessary responses throughout the thread. This forum is about community. Agree to disagree and move on.

For posters who continue to go at each other in game threads. Be warned that you maybe locked out if you do so.

It wasn't even from this game thread where it started and without the context of the correct game thread you kind of just wasted your time and didn't really address what actually happened.

I addressed the issues with this thread. What thread did it start with?
 
People act like there aren't 82 games in a season, and that if you lose against a good team on a back to back on the road by 3 points, the coach must be terrible, the owner doesn't care, and all of our players suck.

Does that cover it all?
Meh, if its an issue thats been a common theme over hundreds of games and seems to be getting worse, its frustrating.

But what makes these game threads go to shit is when people call other posters a "waste".

Says the guy who called me a "waste" because he didnt like mine.

Clown. Town.

I saw a tired Whiteside.
I'm pretty sure at one point i saw him signaling for a sub and then he held his head on the bench while talking to a trainer(?)
 
Led by our self-annointed king!
Fuck you talking about? This place is hilarious on game nights. “Dame sucks!” “Stotts can’t coach!””CJ quit shooting”
Then we come back and almost win. That was a fantastic game last night.
I posted I love how out of reality this place gets in game threads and you come at me?

Started with the Dallas game thread when WG "observed" that we were getting lazy Whiteside, and HJ asked him how that was any different than the criticisms levied against Tolliver and Stotts that WG was taking issue with earlier. Looked to me like WG tried to ignore the question, HJ raised it again a little later, then WG took a not-subtle swipe at HJ when someone else criticized Whiteside's play.

Both of them need to "let it go". It's petty and pointless.
 
It was a tough loss, no doubt, but also one that most had pegged as a loss before the season began.

Wait. Hold up here. You aren't our King??? I thought Bones was passing you a compliment. I could be wrong. Things get fuzzy at times for me..... Old age shit, I guess. Sorry, if so.

I'll actually agree with you, it can get pretty funny, I'm no better than anyone though, my emotional high's and low's of a Blazer game are frustrating. :)
