Game Thread GAME# 58: ROCKETS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

Wait, people cry and THEN pee their pants?

You don't want to know the next step.

 

[Strenuus]

Im not the one saying that the playing time Stotts is giving is "unacceptable".

Meyers isn't good. It's okay to say it.

Say it with me.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yeah, Chuck, we lost 4 starters. You neglect to point out we kept the best one and handed him the keys.

He's not wrong though in pointing out how big a deal it is and how unprecedented what we're doing is. The only team in history that has replaced four starters from the previous season and made the playoffs are the 86-87 Bulls, after Jordan returned from his big injury in his second year.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Just get to the salary floor by paying Dame

I have no idea what I'm talking about from a CBA perspective. Just sayin' - this kid is worth every possible penny spent on him plus more

We can't get to the floor anymore. At least I don't think we can?

 

[BonesJones]

I think it's ironic that a forum moderator is also its biggest troll. Lol

 

[Strenuus]

You guys. We are on a magical run. Everyone's contributing. Lay off Leonard. He's one of the good guys. Direct your hate towards the Rockets.

I've done that for 3 years now!

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Team ball rocks! I'm outta here...

Tunchi is a moderator?!

Meyers deserves some shit sometimes, but he is playing well tonight and the rockets are the type of team that he should get some run. He can defend big centers and draw them away from the paint.

 

[ripcityboy]

How does that work? Is he perpetually in the bunting position?

Who knows? Jorge Posada said in his autobiography that a number of players did it too f-ck with him. So did the umpires.... mind games.

 

[Sinobas]

Sorry, I hate to pile on, but Leonard adds NOTHING to this team. Offense or defense. He is in the way in pick and roll. The pretend effort on the boards is hard to watch.

More Harkless please.

Okay, had to get it out....

He's a decent post defender, but Harkless was kicking butt in there, then he gets taken out for Meyers?

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers isn't good. It's okay to say it.

Say it with me.

He's very good. Everyone in the NBA is. He has helped us win games and he is team first.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Im not the one saying that the playing time Stotts is giving is "unacceptable".

There's no way Leonard should be getting more minutes than Harkless.

 

[BonesJones]

Tunchi is a moderator?!

You're worse than Tunchi.

 

[Sinobas]

A negative times a negative equals a positive.

 

[BonesJones]

There's no way Leonard should be getting more minutes than Harkless.

Accept for the fact that we were doing better when he was in the game.

 

[Sinobas]

He's very good. Everyone in the NBA is. He has helped us win games and he is team first.

Who are your inside sources?

 

[Strenuus]

You're worse than Tunchi.

*hugs you* You used the right you're! For that, I will always love you!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

That's like saying Tommy Wiseau is a very good actor because he's been in a movie.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Is that Brady Hoke in the red shirt standing looking dumb?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Accept for the fact that we were doing better when he was in the game.

That's a retarded statistic.

 

[EGame]

second half. Fuck em up Blazers!

 

[The Professional Fan]

We can't get to the floor anymore. At least I don't think we can?

I think we got there or close with Varejao plus we got a draft pick. I'm just saying, in a world with no CBA or rules, if the Blazers needed to get to the salary floor, paying Dame the difference would be OK with me

 

[LuckyShot]

Tunchi is a moderator?!

I assumed he was talking about SPD.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Aminu stroking it like mr. Bigglesworth

 

[Strenuus]

I assumed he was talking about SPD.

He's just a dog!

 

[BonesJones]

I'd rather see Harkless play more than Leonard but I understand why Leonards played more and I trust Olshey. And I'm not gonna sit and troll a guy in a Blazers jersey. I'm a better fan than that.

 

[julius]

For a second there I thought Marv was stroking out.

 

[LuckyShot]

If Houston had any brains they'd pound it into Howard every chance they get. But that would bruise Harden's ego, so they won't do it for long enough to matter.

 

[BonesJones]

*hugs you* You used the right you're! For that, I will always love you!

No thanks!
