Game Thread GAME# 5: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 26, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Robot]

as much as I blame CJ for loss, I blame Nurk too, if he stayed on the floor, we wouldve won this match
he needs to control himself when it comes to making fouls

on a positive side, I feel like hes playing better, finding his rhythm on offense, couple more games and hell be there

 

[THE HCP]

Shit, I'd live with OTHER guys attempting to beat us rather than Griffin beasting everytime for an easy bucket. I have always felt you get the ball out of the star's hands and let the role players shoot all night.

 

[Mr. Robot]

anyway, our defense was shit, they went like x times to the free throw line
I forgot the loss against MIL and they do this shit to me again, now I need one or two wins ASAP

bench cant bail us forever, last night they didnt produce and it was a loss

starters, or should I say Dame, CJ and Nurk need to start playing at their level ASAP

Foolish post. That's STOTT'S fault.

You'll feel better after Saturday, but those Toronto and Utah games will be tough.

what exactly

 

[calvin natt]

If they are being honest. Do I expect them to say it publicly? No.

If any of the players or coaches actually think it’s the refs fault they lost they should go.

 

[Mr. Robot]

If Im not wrong, we play TOR home and UTA away
it will be tough if our big 3 plays like so far... anyway I think well beat at least one of them

Yes Raptors at home Monday then the Jazz in SLC, both tough games.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Yes Raptors at home Monday then the Jazz in SLC, both tough games.

yeah, Im looking it right now, TOR blow out PHI and CHI, but tbh, no surprise there
but their two losses were against GSW and SAS on the road, two close games, at least that final results says

as far as UTA, they lost against LAC badly and they lost against PHX, but they beat OKC at home, other than that, win against DEN and loss against MIN

luckily we have PHX first... these games will be great tests for the team

they owe us some good games against good teams

 

[THE HCP]

Utah is just one of those games you can always count on an L...... doesn't matter what our teams have been doing or what the roster are. Lucky for us this game we get in around 5pm the day before instead of 2am on a back to back.

 

[dviss1]

what exactly

Stotts left him in the game with 4 fouls. I would've taken him out immediately.

We smash Utah bro.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I think he had 3 fouls in the first half if Im not mistaken and I saw 5th foul, but I dont recall 4th, when was it

Are you serious about this 40 wins?

 

[BrunoSOC]

I don't get why he stays in the game

 

[Mr. Robot]

I don't get why he stays in the game

which team do you support from Brasileirao my friend

 

[dviss1]

It was in the 3rd with a lot of time left.

 

[BrunoSOC]

which team do you support from Brasileirao my friend

São Paulo fc. But I prefer basketball than soccer

Huh? We've been beating them a lot lately bro...

 

[Mr. Robot]

It was in the 3rd with a lot of time left.

so youre saying 4th foul happened before 5th foul

 

[dviss1]

so youre saying 4th foul happened before 5th foul

That's.... Usually... How... It... Happens...

 

[THE HCP]

Are you serious about this 40 wins?

Yes sir. I predicted 40-42 this season.

Sim senhor, eu prevei 42-4 - esta temporada

 

[THE HCP]

Huh? We've been beating them a lot lately bro...

Man, I'm talking the last 20 years.

 

[dviss1]

Man, I'm talking the last 20 years.

Why? Stockton and Malone aint there?

How is that relevant to now?

 

[Sarni]

Yea but you can tell this is going to be a 40-43 win season. We need to fix a lot of things to take the next step. Until then it’s the same thing

It's not a championship winning team but I think we knew that much. Good thing is that out of teams that are better than us, most of them are very likely to fall away in the next 2-3 years. Thunder will have just 1 year with all of their big three and then will struggle to put a good team around Westbrook. Rockets will have $75M or more locked in Paul and Harden and Paul will be 35 soon. Cavaliers probably have one more season of being competitive and in the entire Eastern Conference only Celtics might have a better mid-term outlook than Blazers and not by much. Spurs will be always good but that is another matter.

It basically all comes down to how long Durant will stay with Warriors, or how long the whole team will stay together and take discounts (Klay, Green will have to be extended in 2019 and 2020).

 

[THE HCP]

It isn't. Just saying that places like SLC and Denver tend to be placed that we historically have though times picking up Ws. Most of it is becasue of the travel and back to back situations. Have we been winning in Utah since Dame arrived? All the games are a blur to me to tell you the truth.

 

[Chris Craig]

Ain't no thang but a chicken wing. Its a new day, fresh perspective. I'm done worrying bout the gane last night. For he who dwells loses sight and is lost in yesterday. Feeling good about tommorow.

Spurs won't always be good. Popovich has to retire sometime

Fair enough. We did lose there 2x last year.
