Game Thread GAME# 51: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - FEBRUARY 7, 2015 - SATURDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

If playoffs were today, we'd play Dallas and we'd have HCA. I would love that matchup.

But they aren't, so who gives a fuck?

 

[KingSpeed]

watch the game again and youll see why they would want us.

We beat them for most of the game. They could maybe steal one game in the series. But they can't steal 4. We're the better team. I think we're even better when Rondo plays.

 

[BBert]

I took a couple weeks off from watching the Blazers, and decided to watch tonight and look what I get.

So it was you! You're the real scape goat!

 

[KingSpeed]

But they aren't, so who gives a fuck?

People are saying shit like we're falling to the 8th seed and he truth of the matter is that we have the 5th best record in the NBA and we're having a good season. Enjoy it.

We're 1 loss - likely tomorrow after this debacle - from being tied with the 7th place team in the loss column. We were 30-8. Now we're 34-17. Should we not be concerned?

 

[KingSpeed]

Of the top 4 teams in the West, we're the only team that won a playoff series last year.

So someone can say something about today and you say look at the season. But you can say "If the playoffs were today..."

Hmm... double standard much?

This team is in trouble. Face it. And also, stop saying we have wins when we don't. Isn't that the same thing as not looking at the whole game? Let it ALL play out, just like you tell us to do for the season. It's the same philosophy. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Take your own advice.

What does that have to do with this year? Nothing.

We are the division leader, so we up by 8.5 games for the #4 seed. We can't fall below that unless the Thunder pass us. No reason to be concerned at all.

So? What does that have to do with anything. Dallas was the only team to give san antonio fits in the playoffs so what?

When is it that you ever think Blazers are doing bad? This past month this team has been terrible then you blow this game on top of that.

 

[KingSpeed]

What does that have to do with this year? Nothing.

Everything. Our team has recent experience winning in the playoffs. You need experience to go deep in playoffs. VERY RARELY does a team go from out in the first round to winning the championship. It almost NEVER happens.

Dude, stop giving us Jabroni facts that mean nothing.

No. No it doesn't. You're grasping at straws. Just stop, take your own advice. Stop saying we won games when it's not over.

 

[KingSpeed]

We have the 5th best record in the NBA. That's awesome. We lost Roy and Oden and in only a couple seasons have put together a winner. I'm very happy with the team.

 

[Strenuus]

The team sucks right now. So bad. NO team should be giving up 16 point leads (11 in the last 2) with a team that has Rondo out.

-EGame.

I'm not grasping at straws. I'm speaking at truth. I thought we'd win the game, we didn't. I have no control over the outcome of games. Why do you care? If this was Game 7 of the Finals, then this would be upsetting. But it wasn't. Just a regular season game in February. Win tomorrow, beat the Lakers and go into the break with a 36-17 record.

Screw you golliver!

you dont get it. there wont be a game 7 of the finals for us. there won't even be a game 1 in the finals.

Rondo is not good. We might've won if he was on the floor late since he can't shoot and we could've played off him.

Yes, we gave up a 16 point lead but our team NEVER does that. Back in the Pippen/Sheed days, we did it all the time. This was an anomaly. We're a tough team. We'll bounce back.

 

[BlazerBeav]

You do realize that having the #4 seed because OKC sucks does NOT guarantee us homecourt advantage, right?

You also said we were gonna go 9-0 this month. Our team isnt that good.

I know YOU don't control the outcome. But to come out and flat out say we won with time on the clock is absurd. So, really, you're not speaking truth, because it became a lie.

You tell US to have patience, but you can't wait until the end of the game to declare us winners. Please, take your own advice.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Screw you golliver!

If there was a Canzano joke I could plug here I would.

Fuck it, screw that Right Said Fred looking chicken banger.

 

[KingSpeed]

you dont get it. there wont be a game 7 of the finals for us. there won't even be a game 1 in the finals.

We have as good a chance as anyone. The teams with real winning experience like Spurs and Thunder are below us in the standings so we would have HCA in a series against them.

 

[Strenuus]

Rondo is not good. We might've won if he was on the floor late since he can't shoot and we could've played off him.

lol. We've given up plenty of double digit leads. Not 16, which I'm sure you'll attach as your semantic, but this team sucks. We may OUTSCORE teams in the 4th, but that doesn't mean we always beat them.

This team needs a trade. This team needs a bench. And at this rate, this team needs a new coach.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

HCA means nothing. Absolutely nothing.

To take a page out of YOUR book... WE WON LAST YEAR WITHOUT IT!!!

 

[EGame]

Please tell me you know why we are even ahead of the Thunder in the first place. and were only ahead of the spurs because we are leaders of a pathetic ass division.

HCA really did work for Houston last year, right?

I mean, I can use last year as examples, so.

How is it a lie? It's not like we had lost and I told we didn't. At the time, we were up 11 and people were bitching. I said we should appreciate the win but it ended up slipping through our hands which has never happened under Lillard's watch.
