Game Thread GAME# 57: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - FEBRUARY 23, 2017 - THURSDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[The Professional Fan]

So fucking torn between wanting to win or lose I hate it

 

[H.C.]

What a horrible jump stop by Vuc on that last possession. Traveled worse than 4th graders do. No call.
Yet portland has been called for traveling twice.

 

[KingSpeed]

Can't wait to get Aminu and Turner back

 

[riverman]

It's ridiculous how many passes Portland big men get at their feet. Seriously?

Our guards suck at passing...it's been a problem forever

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh yeah, I forgot. Our team is kind of crappy.

 

[riverman]

Can't wait to get Aminu and Turner back

That'll be fun to see

 

[Blazinaway]

having a potential low post player will do wonders, in future seasons. This year is a lost cause.

Can't wait to get Aminu and Turner back

Man, that was an ugly half

It isn't for me. What.... two more months and a half months of shitty BB? OH. NO.

How will I ever survive.

 

[illmatic99]

Nurkic is only 22.

 

[KingSpeed]

Sucks that we can't trade any of these players til summer now. I always assumed a lot of our guys would be gone by now.

I'm convinced we'll use our draft picks to change things...a lot of vets didn't move because they are expiring contracts that could walk...lot of rentals at the deadline....offseason will be better for bolstering the roster..and the draft

Can't trade Crabbe & Meyers for Lebron until this summer.

 

[riverman]

Listening to Mike Barrett doing the BiMart commercial at halftime on the radio...nostalgia

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Why isn't Aminu playing?

 

[The Professional Fan]

It isn't for me. What.... two more months and a half months of shitty BB? OH. NO.

I don't know. Pretty fucking obvious that it's much more natural to root for the team I've been following for over 30 years...instead of root against them?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

How is Nurkic looking? I'm at PDX and nobody has the game on.

 

[TBpup]

Why isn't Aminu playing?

Knee sprain.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

How is Nurkic looking? I'm at PDX and nobody has the game on.

Nurk looking fucking amazing the first 6 minutes of the game. Seriously amazing!

Got tired after that. Kinda sucked.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

How is Nurkic looking? I'm at PDX and nobody has the game on.

He looks good - he could use some help!

 

[riverman]

How is Nurkic looking? I'm at PDX and nobody has the game on.

awesome...really impressed

 

[Blazinaway]

How is Nurkic looking? I'm at PDX and nobody has the game on.

he's doin fine, most of the rest of the team is suckin pretty bad, TO's killin us

 

[PHXBlazer1]

vonleh shows signs

 

[Blazinaway]

I like Harkless but he seems to just totally go away at times, very frustrating

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Knee sprain.

See if I have it:
Lillard has a bad ankle which he doesn't think will heal until the offseason, and is playing like a shell of his former self
CJ is bricking.
2 Rotation players are out.
Meyers Leonard is getting minutes.

OK, I guess the tank is on, thanks.

 

[Blazinaway]

vonleh shows signs

of what? we have been seeing "signs" for two years now and nothing, nothing develops

 

[TBpup]

Nice move from Vonleh to start the 2nd half. They actually ran a play for him....bucket.

How is it Layman has more points than Crabbe? #wasted$$$

 

[PDXFonz]

Honestly if this isn't intentional tanking then F this blow it up.

Looks like they are playing at the Y right now.

 

[H.C.]

Harkless is starting to climb to Batum levels of frustration watching him.

 

[Scalma]

Good job moe.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

It's ridiculous how many passes Portland big men get at their feet. Seriously?

Put them with Oregon's Altman for a couple days; he spends a lot of time getting them to pass it where they can use it.
