The sky is blue.

Calabro: "What's it gonna take for the Blazers to get a win tonight?"

Hurd: "A fucking miracle, Kev."

 

[Chris Craig]

Williams is good

 

[James lamphear]

Williams definitely can score the ball and surprise he not better free throw shooter.

 

[Chris Craig]

The sky is blue.

Actually it's colorless....that's just light refraction

 

[blazerfan11]

Summer league offense by the Blazers.

YOU SON OF A......!!!

 

[blazerfan11]

All these dudes need to do is throw Brown a lob. He's totally ignored.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Is Cousins the 2nd most punchable face in the NBA behind Westbrick or am I missing someone?

 

[James lamphear]

This game got ugly real fast.

 

[DDolla]

Glad we’re back to tanking.

 

[blazerfan11]

This is why Brown needs to play with the starters.

 

[James lamphear]

Nice run by us.

Grayson Allen

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Grayson Allen

Excellent point.

 

[TBpup]

Keon has the ability to be an elite defender.

Want to see him get 25+ minutes a night. He is going to get overwhelmed both physically and mentally, but this is a good chance to see how he reacts and grows. Certainly has some rare quick twitch ability.

 

[James lamphear]

Simons 1-7 and have 13 shots attempt with only 2 assist.

 

[James lamphear]

The only reason I am actually following this team right to see if Simons actually can run a team and which other young player going get me excited for next year.

He's struggling the last few games

 

[Chris Craig]

Simons 1-7 and have 13 shots attempt with only 2 assist.

Is he playing shitty on purpose?

I'm beginning to wonder. And Hart too.

 

[blazerfan11]

I can see this team losing every remaining game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers shooting 37.5% from the floor and 14% from three....eww

 

[OneSport3]

Simons 1-7 and have 13 shots attempt with only 2 assist.

Assists are going to be hard to come by with the players he’s passing to

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm beginning to wonder. And Hart too.

It looks like they are really trying

 

[Chris Craig]

Tanking doesn't mean you have to lose by 20+ every game

 

[blazerfan11]

Tanking doesn't mean you have to lose by 20+ every game

It does if you want to make sure you lose. OKC has won 2 of their last 4 games. Now it won't look so bad when we lose to them and Houston.

You can just as easily make sure you lose by throwing a close game

I thought in the case of two teams having the same record, the tie-breaker was the average margin of loss. Hence, built up those big losses!

Yeah, I know. But it sounded good when I thought it.

The last time breaker is points scored and points allowed but it never comes to that.
