^Deep find, man. Very Nice.

 

[KingSpeed]

Does anyone know why TNT is doing this "players only" shit with their broadcasting? Is it going to be all year? NBATV has been doing the same thing and it's awful.

I agree. What are they saying? That Breen, Albert, and Ernie Johnson are unnecessary? How does that make them feel when they return? It's stupid.

 

[KingSpeed]

So... all Analysts? Brilliant

yep

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dragons fucking on the court at half time brings me more arousal than the Blazer's performance.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Chief will be fine....he got a 3 sec violation..no big frickin' deal

You think that was the only play? The whole first quarter was painful to watch ....when he put the ball on the floor. He plays the PF position for a reason. Terry has gotten shit for his stubbornness on this...but he is right.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Watching these Harden highlights...I'm not taking anything away from Harden...great, great night. But I saw about 1/2 a lick of defense combined on those 8 highlights. 18 FTs.

I think it’s only Tuesday nights. It’s awful. What is their target audience??

 

[The Professional Fan]

Has Zeke aged a day since ‘90? It’s weird.

 

[riverman]

I think he's tonight's scapegoat and we won the first half...turnovers happen..he plays great defense and knocked down a big 3 early..

 

[KingSpeed]

it's gonna be EVERY WEEK????

 

[Scalma]

it's gonna be EVERY WEEK????

Yeah. Pretty sure tnt never broadcast on Tuesdays, until now.

Players only baby!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Seriously. That was the best half time performance I've seen in a long time.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I think he's tonight's scapegoat and we won the first half...turnovers happen..he plays great defense and knocked down a big 3 early..

I think you are missing the point. I am not complaining about Aminu being on the floor. I am questioning why so many people think he would be better at the 3.

 

[riverman]

I'm listening to Wheels and Holton

 

[AFully22]

I’ve seen good Nurk, I’ve seen bad Nurk. I get that there’s potential there but I just wouldn’t feel comfortable signing him long term based off what he’s done here and in Denver. I’d shop him before the deadline. Give his minutes to Collins and Davis and try and get some value for him before it’s too late.

 

[Shaboid]

I think he's tonight's scapegoat and we won the first half...turnovers happen..he plays great defense and knocked down a big 3 early..

I do appreciate you quarter by quarter philosophy.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Shaq talking about MVP candidates, saying that there's some people in front of Harden.

"Kyrie, Steph, Westbrook.."

KYRIE? No LeBron?

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah. Pretty sure tnt never broadcast on Tuesdays, until now.

Players only baby!!

fuck me; so why not always do it if they think it works? what's the thinking behind this??

 

[riverman]

I think you are missing the point. I am not complaining about Aminu being on the floor. I am questioning why so many people think he would be better at the 3.

my bad...I didn't read the post that way...usually don't follow game threads and just click on newest post..

The NBA is giving the Blazers some love today -


Nice to see that star next to Dame's name.
Edit: The star doesn't show up on the link above, but there is a star next to Dame's name on the Twitter feed.

 

[blue9]

I can’t get over Aminu being called for 3 seconds because he just would not pass the ball. Just holding it and pivoting like something was going to change. Amazing.

Dumbest player since Travis Outlaw. Maybe even dumber. I really hope we trade him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Dame should win the Most Improved Defensive Player on the Blazers of the Year award!

That's like the most honest politician in Washington DC award.

 

[The Professional Fan]

it's gonna be EVERY WEEK????

They desperately need at least one pro to harness the energy

 

[blue9]

You guys really think Aminu should play SF? With those handles and decision making abilities?

I don't think he should play AT ALL.

 

[KingSpeed]

Shaq talking about MVP candidates, saying that there's some people in front of Harden.

"Kyrie, Steph, Westbrook.."

KYRIE? No LeBron?

Cavs are crumbling and he hasn't been able to stop it as well as he is playing. The voters care about record and Cavs are dangerously close to falling to 4 seed. Honestly, I'd vote for DeRozen ahead of LeBron if voting was today.

1. Harden
2. Curry
3. DeRozen
4. LeBron
5. Aldridge

 

[H.C.]

I don't think he should play AT ALL.

You're right. need more Jake Layman.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dumbest player since Travis Outlaw. Maybe even dumber. I really hope we trade him.

I know he does some good but he frustrates the shit out of me

 

[KingSpeed]

Dumbest player since Travis Outlaw. Maybe even dumber. I really hope we trade him.

Aminu is our 4th, maybe 3rd, best player. I'm fine with trading him if we can get someone better but to trade him just to trade him, not a good idea. We would fall off big time.

 

[ripcityboy]

CJ needs to step on it.

 

[Jade Falcon]

CJ with a scowl during the interview. Good.
