Game Thread GAME# 60: BLAZERS @ SUNS - FEBRUARY 24, 2018 - SATURDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[H.C.]

Which stats say that?

W/L record?

 

[BonesJones]

Better win this game. We could have sole possession of 5th and be only a half game behind Minnesota for 4th.

 

[Lukee]

ugh Phoenix, so boring.

 

[LayneStaley]

Better win this game. We could have sole possession of 5th and be only a half game behind Minnesota for 4th.

And after Cavs beat SAS tomorrow not that far out of 3rd(as long as us, gs, and cle get it done)

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Which stats say that?

I mean, read the stat sheet.

Rebounds even, shooting even, killing them at the line, Suns have far more TO’s.... only difference is Suns made some 3-pointers.

WITH Jimmy Butler being out for Minnesota for more than a month.

 

[LayneStaley]

With the current injuries in the league 3rd place is between us and OKC in my opinion. I think SAS will slide.

People have said this for the past 10 years, and it's yet to happen.

I wish the "Shabazz is the man",Napier would return. Until he does, get Pat more minutes. Dame came in and got the show moving again. I know his shot will return soon. Not shooting the ball well since the AS Game. But it will. Go Blazers!!

The Leonard news changes basically nothing too. They've been playing without him basically all year.

They're killing us on the 3pt line and have a couple more 2pt FGs... We have FTs.

Nuggets should never be counted out. Especially with how Jokic is playing.

 

[BonesJones]

Great passing that's what I've been waiting for all game.

 

[BonesJones]

There we go good start.

 

[BonesJones]

There we go good start.

And it's gone. Stupid fucking turnover.

 

[BonesJones]

The Leonard news changes basically nothing too. They've been playing without him basically all year.

And they've also played an insanely easy schedule and have 17 of their 22 games remaining against above-.500 with multiple games against GSW and HOU.

 

[H.C.]

Wow, Lillard has missed 3 free throws tonight.

 

[DreamKillah]

I guess once your mama names you "Elfrid" you get to look as goofy as you wanna look . . .

 

[BonesJones]

Dame's missed 3 FTs today wtf...

 

[H.C.]

Another stand still three for booker with no contest.

 

[Labinot41]

What is this bullshit

 

[BonesJones]

That's not a good shot. A pull-up contested mid-range shot for Moe? WTF are you watching Hurd?

 

[BonesJones]

There's a reason I predicted a 6-seed. This team doesn't change. Will never play consistently good basketball.

 

[BonesJones]

We're not working for good shots. And then we're not defending on the other end.

 

[Cippy91]

We are gonna lose this game down the stretch huh? I mean it would make sense considering the whole taking one step forward, two back theme this season

 

[illmatic99]

Ball movement will lead to better 3s.

2-14 now, off mostly pull up threes.

 

[LuckyShot]

We're not working for good shots. And then we're not defending on the other end.

Coasting against a shitty opponent and hoping to win on talent.

That's how things go.

 

[tykendo]

Helllooooooo. The Blazers are flatter than a pancake right now. Show some enthusiasm or lose, plain and simple. Good timeout by Stotts. The NBA ain't easy. The Suns get paid too. Leaving Booker wide open is a recipe for disaster. Man! I'd be throwing a chalkboard right now. But that's why I could never be a coach.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, Lillard has missed 3 free throws tonight.

Starts missing once the all star game is over.
