lol we ALL knew he was gonna pull up on that shot. And like 90% of us knew it was going in.

He's dropped what 9 points in the last minute?

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck Reggie Jackson and his midrange jumper.

It's the shot we give up unfortunately.

Losing our draft pick is not playing with house money.

well, in this analogy, if we lose all the "house money", then we get the draft pick back. so it kinda is?

 

[B-Roy]

It's the shot we give up unfortunately.

Wish we would hedge.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

lol we ALL knew he was gonna pull up on that shot.

definitely

 

[Jade Falcon]

Da fuq am I watching on my Stream? That some cheesy pistons shit right there.

Yawn.

This team is much further along in the "reload" then anyone thought. The development of the players we have while learning to win together is far more valuable than tanking for a lottery pick.

 

[riverman]

We got this game....Go Blazers!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard (first 3-pointer tonight) passes Terry Porter for second on Portland's all-time 3-pointers made list (774, Matthews-826).

 

[illmatic99]

I like this lineup with Meyers at 5 and no other big man.

 

[illmatic99]

Where was the foul?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

"It's over omg". You guys panic too much. 4 point game because of dame, the guy people also panicked about early in the season talking "cj is better". This forum has no chill sometimes

"you guys" "this forum"... It was literally two people.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Yawn.

There are quite a few people here who thought we would be this good, or better.

 

[illmatic99]

0 rim protection.

 

[Rhal]

It really feels like they are getting away with a lot more contact on us and no foul.

 

[dead247]

Anyone catch Rice's keys to the game?

 

[kjironman1]

Don't we play 4 times this week? Sunday Tuesday, Friday, Saturday....
I agree about the Wiz, I am counting that as a loss. We seldom win the first game back off a long East Coast trip.

My point was tuesday and friday but yes. They do have 4. you are correct in that.

 

[Rhal]

Losing our draft pick is not playing with house money.

Losing our pick in a draft that doesn't' seem that deep, when we have a ton of young talent to begin with doesn't seem like that huge of a deal. I'd rather lose our pick then keep it just because it adds another chip to the trade basket that will be more valuable then whoever we would have picked at 13-14.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Fuck Reggie Jackson and his midrange jumper.

I know right! Bobby Schmurda is such a garbage rapper. And by the way, fuck Tobias Harris as well.

 

[kjironman1]

Well. So far i am actually pretty happy. Aminu got a few shots to fall that kept them at least in it early. Then Stotts made the Leonard adjustment and got Vonleh out of there. Seems to have at least kept the game competitive.

 

[kjironman1]

Who cares about a late lottery pick? The team is playing well and they need to keep working hard.

 

[kjironman1]

I like this lineup with Meyers at 5 and no other big man.

Meyers play is getting better every week. Totally agree.

 

[cardova08]

Tobias Harris is a good player. That Jackson/Drummond pick and roll has worked well. Blazers should still win this game though. CJ and Dame are gonna win this thing. I'm 5 beers deep at the Palace. Myers Leonard should be an all star. F**k..might be time to stop hitting these $9.50 beers.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Stotts starting Plumlee in the second half. Didn't he learn from the first half?

 

[B-Roy]

Vonleh needs to get out of the game. Sorry Terry.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude, Aminu. Stop doing too much!

 

[dead247]

Dear Tobias Harris: The Oscars were last week.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Meyers play is getting better every week. Totally agree.

I thought he was horrible the last 2 games

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dame just became the most hated person in that building.

 

[BonesJones]

I just woke up what's happenin? Hahaha
