Game Thread GAME# 56: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - FEBRUARY 12, 2020 - WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[BlazerBeav]

Get some rest, get some bodies back, start off with a 3-game homestand and regain momentum.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

OK...... I think I'm ready to vote in the poll.

Oh shit, that was Rastapoulos' poll. I hope it's still open.

 

[The Professional Fan]

put dame and nurk on ice for the rest of the season.

buy out whiteside and melo.

tank

It’s time. I half wish Dame had never gone temporarily nuclear oh well

 

[Eastoff]

FUCK this season. Every time I start believing, I end up here, dejected and irrationally frustrated.

It's like an abusive relationship. This team can change... NOPE here's more pain!

 

[HailBlazers]

Trash, kid will never amount to nothing..

 

[jlprk]

We were easily out-energized by a young team full of recent top-4 picks, future stars. Their coach has an inside offense; ours has only an outside one.

This wasn't just any team which beat us. It's the team standing between us and the playoffs. It's the final nail in the coffin about our playoff hopes.

This summer is a great opportunity to change coaches with minimal fanboy complaint, but we all know that management doesn't think big.

5 in 7, b2b. ridiculous workload. dame getting hurt is no surprise. ugh.

5 in 7, b2b. ridiculous workload. dame getting hurt is no surprise. ugh.

I seem to remember the NBA saying they were going to cut down on b2b's, and stretches were they have 3 in 4 nights or 5 in 7.

Well, he only had the 1 assist. That alone is obviously a sign that Terry Stotts sucks as a coach...er, CJ is a ball hog...er, Anfernee is never going to amount to a hill of beans.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm not saying that fatigue is the reason....I just know, from experience, that fatigue can lead to injury

minutes/game:

1 James Harden 37.1
2 Damian Lillard 37.0
3 Kyle Lowry 36.5

minutes:

1 Damian Lillard 1960
2 Ben Simmons 1926
3 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 1918

even a minor groin injury can take 2-3 weeks to heal....a significant groin injury can take 6-8 weeks to heal

I won't want to watch CJ and Melo being options 1a & 1b; even for a single game

good let it take 6-8 weeks shit. Dame deserves the rest. This season was done a long time ago. Dame has nothing to prove this year. He got his all star bid fuck it. Let’s tank it the rest way out and run this shit back next year healthy and ready to go

Haha. I’m sure he’ll be great. But CJ too can be great. I think maybe watching so much iso has gotten to me a little bit.

 

[bobf]

Let Ant run the show. It’s in his blood.

 

[julius]

Grade 1 strains will take 1 to 2 weeks of rest before a person can return to exercise. Normal movement, such as walking, should be possible within a few days.

Grade 2 strains may take 3 to 6 weeks to heal fully.

Potentially 3-6 weeks?

That's the season folks. Lotto here we come!

 

[rotary111]

Well looking at the positives

1. At least Memphis isn't ahead of us in the standings.

2. Nobody put up a career high on us.

 

[Darkwebs]

Losing the game and then losing the Dame. Brutal, brutal night.

 

[bobf]

Damn I jinxed Dame. The play before that I told my son “good thing Dame never gets injured or we’d be really f****d.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Dude... Go to the corner and think about what youve done. Heh

so it's your fault

as punishment, you have to run a 3 hour gauntlet of Mike Rice metaphors

 

[DDolla]

Rest Dame for the whole season and tank

Man, use that green font once in a while.

Glad this isn't a nightly occurrence too.

Uh-huh. What is his current ratio of good games to bad games? He is years away from becoming a reliable member of the rotation.

 

[oldmangrouch]

At what point do they admit the Melo experiment failed? He didn't just hit the wall - he went full bug-on-the-windshield. The gas tank is empty.

The top 40 players are getting 33 or more minutes. Good players generally play more.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Ok, you go tell Dame your brilliant plan and let us know how he takes it.

 

[oldmangrouch]

OldmanOracle?

If I'm wrong - great. You have to admit that his game is unrefined and that he needs to put on muscle. To my feeble old eyes, Trent and Little have a man's body while Simons looks like a high school kid.
