Game Thread GAME# 62: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - MARCH 2, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

We're tanking really good tonight!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

No excuse for getting blown out like this.

 

[riverman]

Man I missed the second half so far but looks like the Blazers did too...clear the bench

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Oh well. Can't win em all.

 

[dead247]

Boston definitely playing intense. Up by 20+ and still playing D like a motherfucker.

 

[Tunchi]

These are the days I think the lottery doesn't sound so bad when it's all said and done

 

[Jade Falcon]

SlyPokerDog is a dipshit!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We can't match their intensity tonight. Rest up for Toronto

 

[Strenuus]

Boston is a hell of a team.

I said 4-2 on this trip... still looking good. We could go 5-1!

 

[Rhal]

Boston definitely playing intense. Up by 20+ and still playing D like a motherfucker.

Its why I hated seeing them at the end of a 4 in 5 night. They are that team that will never give up and play great D and you don't ever want to see them with tired legs, a lot like Utah was for years.

 

[Sinobas]

3 minutes left in the 3rd, 22 down, I'm turning it off right now. Nightmare.

I'm watching Shark Tank.

SlyPokerDog is a clown!

 

[Strenuus]

No worries. This was a loss just waiting for us... had hope (even in the prediction thread) but the reality is, Boston is a helluva team... We just didn't have it. Oh well.

[dead247]

At the end of the day, no reason to loathe our guys right now. We're still one of the hottest teams in the league and obviously the most over-achieving. Not worried. Just gotta persevere. (spelling?)

 

[MickZagger]

No excuse for getting blown out like this.

Shit happens.

What was the Warriors excuse when we kicked their ass.

 

[Strenuus]

Did anyone see Beibs just try to screen a boston player while WE were playing defense? LOL.

[riverman]

Well, this game has sucked for 2 straight qtrs...man

Yup. We can still go 4-2 or 5-1 (at worst 3-3)... I'll take a .500 road trip ALL DAY.

 

[Jade Falcon]

lol. Brush up on your hoops knowledge and get back to me clown.

Hoops knowledge? Explain to me why a team of NBA-level players do not have post presence. Or why it's taken over half a season to get consistent, despite ridiculous rotations....like putting CJ on Dirk Nowinski earlier this season.

Like I said: think before you mouth off to me. A GOOD coach would make the appropriate changes at half-time against good teams. Stotts doesn't. Like someone here said: being gassed isn't a good enough excuse.

Kerr= Good Coach.

Pops= Good Coach.

Stotts= Average.

Perspective, I like it.

These parts seem to lack it.

 

[Strenuus]

Remember, GS had won 11 in a row and then we kicked their ass, and they had a week off. So, shit happens.

 

[KingSpeed]

Guys, guys. 4th game in 5 nights. On the road. Against a team that has been as hot as we have been. This loss doesn't bother me at all. Let's get Toronto or Detroit and the trip is a resounding success.

So he's a top 3 coach. I'll take it.

I'm not convinced you know what post presence means.

 

[riverman]

Alright...a little 22 pt run here and we'll be fine

Warriors lost to us by 30+
Spurs lost to Warriors by 30+

How are Kerr and Pops good coaches? They got routed and did nothing to stop it.

 

[Tunchi]

Man are we sure we want to make the playoffs???

I kmow the wins are nice but today just reminded us although we're a good team we still need that lottery pick

 

[Jade Falcon]

And Sly, not everything is about you.

 

[Strenuus]

5-1, 4-2, 3-3.

All of those are GOOD. I'm so okay.
