Game Thread GAME# 56: SPURS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

[KingSpeed]

The truth is our bench has always shot well. Stotts just doesn't give them many minutes or many shots.

 

[Strenuus]

What is it about Denver's offense that is different than ours?

Mags already explained it. I've already explained it. If you can't understand the differences and why Barton does better in a more up-tempo offense, then... I really don't know what to tell you.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Barton 22 and 8 tonight

Saw that one coming. Still like the trade but was pretty sure this was gonna happen, especially on a bad team.

What is it about Denver's offense that is different than ours?

Well for one, they play pressure defense for steals. They are a fast break team and mainly scores in the paint. Portland is one of the worst at scoring in the paint and we play possession defense.

There are so many differences bro. Stop hyperboling a 1 game performance on a lottery team

You stotts hater!

 

[blue9]

You do understand that you can "body" players, right? Getting bodied isn't a foul.

I mean, this is why we love Joel so much. He bodies the shit out of players. In the air, on the floor, it doesn't matter.

We're "bodying" the Spurs and getting called for it. They're not.

Does he know any other way?

Wrong... You cannot body a player when he is up in the air

 

[illmatic99]

So Nic is back, but we lost LA

Denver only scores 99 ppg. Do you regularly watch Denver games or are you making stuff up?

We reach a lot. Keep the arms up and you won't get called for a foul.

No that is completely different. He is going straight up. Dame and Aldridge are having their guys body them with shoulders to knock them out

 

[MickZagger]

Bill Walker goes by Henry Walker now?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Did anyone figure out how to get one of those Oregon Trail Rip City shirts? Other than being at the game?

Doesn't mean they aren't trying to run and gun bro. They just suck

I wasn't saying we are the same. I was literally asking the difference because I didn't know if you guys knew what you were talking about or if you were just making it up.

Does an up-tempo offense always transition to points?

Why do you always insist on being combative over your own hyperbole? You know I'm right, you know they have an uptempo offense. Cherry Pick stats all you want, but I've watched plenty of Denver games to know.

But, you can try the arrogance if youd like.

 

[blue9]

Wrong... You cannot body a player when he is up in the air

Yes, you absolutely can. As long as you jump straight up it's not a foul. And you can even jump at an angle, like in fast-break defense, and draw body contact without committing a foul.

 

[Strenuus]

I wasn't saying we are the same. I was literally asking the difference because I didn't know if you guys knew what you were talking about or if you were just making it up.

We do. We don't make shit up. Stop being so accusatory.

I don't think you know what hyperbole means. You are misusing the word.

Exactly... But oh can't put a shoulder into a player

 

[kingslayer]

What a great start to the 2nd half

 

[Strenuus]

Nice pass Batum...

And 1!

 

[magnifier661]

I don't think you know what hyperbole means. You are misusing the word.

You are hyperboling bro... I definitely know the word and you are king of it

 

[KingSpeed]

When Barton got minutes in Game 4 of series vs Spurs, he put up like 17 points. The reason bench players don't score in Portland is because they aren't given many shots. They shoot well though.

 

[Strenuus]

I don't think you know what hyperbole means. You are misusing the word.

No I'm not. Stop deflecting.

Plus, I used it the same way Mags did. So, don't know what to tell you.

Game is on. This is over.

 

[Strenuus]

You are hyperboling bro... I definitely know the word and you are king of it

Exactly. what the fuck? I guess we don't know shit. Kingspeed knows all.

 

[Strenuus]

Game is on. We are winning.

 

[magnifier661]

And 1!!!
