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

[Scalma]

We just signed a wing to a 10 day...we have a lot of bigs...to pay the repeater tax to rent ersan would be foolish...off season they'll boost the roster but you're lookin' at the team that'll be in the playoffs right now....played 9 guys tonight...that's the playoff rotation usually...those guys are going to play..

They wouldn’t go into the tax by signing Ilyasova. Rush won’t be here after his ten days are up if Terry’s quotes mean anything.

They went after Belinelli and Troy Williams. They wouldn’t hesitate to go after Ilyasova.

 

[Strenuus]

Also, the 197 points in 5 games is the most in a five game stretch by any NBA player this season.

 

[crandc]

there you go

Thanks

 

[KingSpeed]

This is why I choose Dame over Curry. Dame can't shoot as well as Curry but Curry sure as hell can't do what Dame did tonight. Wow.

 

[Scalma]

Aminu was not shooting much better.

Harkless, Connaughton. Whatever.

 

[Strenuus]

Trying to embed the postgame Lillard interview. I love this man so much.

He always credits the team's defense...

Watched Lillards game winner for the 30th time and I just noticed what a great seal Nurkic had on the only “shot blocker” Phoenix had on the floor in Criss. He was in great position to grab the board as well.

I frickin' love the way Nurk plays the endgame with fouls...he ignores foul trouble completely..goes for blocks, gets rebounds...doesn't shy from contact..just plays the post. He plays as aggressively with 4 fouls as any center in the league

Crazy stretch in the 4th

He does all the dirty work, especially on the boards. He’s often left alone to crash. It’s ridiculous that some fans have called him lazy. Losing focus and being lazy are two different things. He only plays one way. Watch his activity anytime a shot goes up. Watch his screens. He works his ass off every night.

I can’t stop watching the Lillard dunk. Bro flew out of no where!!!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Lol

 

[BonesJones]

Lol

"Lol" is childish!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Lol

 

[Eastoff]

Good win. Second game of a back to back and we were missing shots we normally hit. Dame would not allow us to lose this one.

Ps. That no call with 2 or 3 minutes left when CJ got hammered by two defenders was REALLY bad.

That no call when Nurkic hammered Booker was really good though.

 

[theprunetang]

Always! Haha

 

[riverman]

Lol

[riverman]

Why don't you two suck each other's dicks and just get it over with.

foreplay? the ole fight and fuck syndrome....not my thing that's for sure

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Good to see you, too.

Generally avoid this dump these days. Swing by to see how a few of you guys are doing, but I can see many of you respectable folks have cut back.

Ah yes, way to contribute to the mess by coming in here and talking shit!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Wow. Dame is awesome.



The Blazers are now 8 games over 500. A high point in the post-Aldridge era.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Illustrate, please?

Nice! That sounds awesome! Any trips?

 

[KingSpeed]

I love how people think this team is going to get Home Court Advantage.

Learn to never get your hopes up. Never. Or else you'll learn the hard way.

hahahahahahaha

 

[riverman]

maybe go to Taiwan and Thailand in the spring...for now I just got my fishing license and plan to do fuck all far from the idiots of the world.

 

[BonesJones]

Or you'll be pleasantly surprised when they pull a win out of their ass!
