Game Thread GAME# 61: BLAZERS @ HAWKS - FEBRUARY 29, 2020 - SATURDAY, 4:30, NBCSNW

[TBpup]

Ariza has a short fuse.

 

[Chris Craig]

Trae young is a punk

 

[hoopsjock]

So Hassan saying "and one!" is a technical?

Ariza fouling Trae while he's trying to nutmeg him is a flagrant?

Trae talking shit afterwards is different though?

Oh look a makeup call way too late that doesn't help.

 

[kjironman1]

Did anyone else notice how Melo just responded to missing that free throw?

 

[TBpup]

Holding your hand up to your ear is a technical?

 

[TBpup]

Wenyen is fighting for rebounds while his entire team runs back down the floor. He has to waive them all back down because it's Blazer ball. At least he is fighting.

 

[Wade Garrett]

I have not read the thread. Maybe someone else has said this already?
This game seems different? Have the Blazers finally quit?
Did they all find out Nurk isn’t coming back?
Is Dame out another week or two?
They are playing like the season is over now.

No need to plea for them to "tank"..
It has officially begun.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think ATL realized the same time we did no way CJ giving the ball up there..

 

[oldmangrouch]

One word: sad.

I think you're probably looking too deep into things. The available roster is bottom 5 in the league.

 

[noknobs]

Whiteside might have the most hollow stats in the league relative to what he brings to a team and the amount of effort in which he brings it.

Somewhere....Rick Mahorn is crying....
Or laughing.

 

[Darkwebs]

To be a Blazers fan is to suffer.

You're right!

The Blazers have given maximum effort tonight.

Shots just aren't falling.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

No. How did he?

 

[Labinot41]

I really want that lottery pick. I give a fuck if it's a weak draft, you never know whats gonna happen. Giannis, kawhi, Mitchell, Bam, Paul George, Hayward, CJ etc were picked between 10 and 15. You never know

 

[PDXFonz]

If we lose this game we better hear about tables being flipped and chairs being thrown Followed by 4 wins in a row to close out this 5 game stretch.

 

[hoopsjock]

Here's where the Blazers will fight back to cut it to around 5 with 6 minutes left in the 4th only to give up back-to-back 3's and see the lead immediately go back up to 11 and the game will be over but Stotts will be proud of them for not giving up.

I WISH....

More like vacation plans being made when the first round starts...

 

[blazerfan11]

This is where

Terry does this shit to try and prove that he's smarter than others.

There is absolutely no reason to double team Trae in that situation without a pick with the game he was having. It was in an awkward spot too where he could easily pass out of it and set up an open shooter. Terry refuses to double in situations that actually make sense.

He's doing it on purpose so he can say "see double teams don't work" so he can justify his regular crappy defense.

If we lose this game we better hear about tables being flipped and chairs being thrown Followed by 4 wins in a row to close out this 5 game stretch.

I hope someone can tell them they played like shit.

If only effort won games in the NBA, we could roll out our own squad from S2, give "max" effort and win. Talent matters.

 

[TBpup]

Blazers allowing a crappy Atlanta team who played last night to score 40 points last quarter and 35 so far this quarter....on 13-17 shooting. Yuck!

Man, I usually appreciate your "devil's advocate" stance to everything but it's honestly pretty sorry to do it if you're watching this game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I cant wait for the season to end.

 

[BlazerBeav]

ANOTHER 5 point swing because Simons can’t finish at the rim. That’s twice tonight.

 

[julius]

Swanigan runs and plays like Duckworth.

 

[julius]

He has to build up some muscle mass this summer. He's still too skinny.

 

[PDXFonz]

*With the Blazers upsetting the Lakers in the first round and winning the championship

 

[hoopsjock]

Swanigan runs and plays like Duckworth.

How dare you insult Duck like that.
