Will Hart start or come off the bench when Dame returns?

Depends on if we get a legit 3, I want Josh to start next to dame. Not another out-of- position 3-guard bullshit thing.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Blevins hits another 3........you OK Lanny?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

There was a time I wasn’t sure Jake Layman would stick in this league.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So this is the plan? A 40 point demoralizing loss.

 

[Chris Craig]

So this is the plan? A 40 point demoralizing loss.

Yep, it's ok we are going to get the 7th pick and it's going to be someone who is going be a star.

The Blazers could pass 2 teams on the way down tonight if the Spurs and Kings win.

The Spurs lead the Lakers by 4 near the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Kings play the Knicks in Sacramento.

Edit: I was incorrect about the Blazers going below San Antonio and Sacramento. What will happen if San Antonio wins (which they did) and Sacramento wins, they will match the number of victories for the trailblazers this season, 25.

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Spurs

 

[Fairly-Hard]

What exactly did the “Young Guys” learn tonight?

So Tari Eason or Kendall Brown assuming you don’t want another guard.

yes, deal with it.

What about Simons? Isnt he going to want to start somewhere or do you think he'd be good with coming off the bench?

doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks, Simons will be starting next to Dame next season.

 

[Scalma]

Williams could’ve had three straight 20 point games if he didn’t get hurt vs the suns. He had 14 points in 15 minutes in that game.

 

[Hoopguru]

How do you know they dont pkg him with picks? I mean, he's still got to improve his defense otherwise we have the same issue with Dame & CJ.

 

[Scalma]

Package who with picks, Ant? Very very safe guess. It’s not happening and pointless to even think about.

 

[Chris Craig]

How do you know they dont pkg him with picks? I mean, he's still got to improve his defense otherwise we have the same issue with Dame & CJ.

Because they traded both CJ and Norm to give Simons the keys. He is the Blazers future at this point.

 

[Hoopguru]

We both it's not in our hands and we both have absolutely no idea what they will do, or what Ant wants for his future. He has options just like the blazers do so expect the unexpected!

 

[Hoopguru]

Could be, I personally think they want to bring in a star front line player and they have Hart that can compliment Dame maybe better than Simons because he's so active on the D side.
We will see....

 

[KSF-ERIC]

What exactly did the “Young Guys” learn tonight?

Ask them

 

[Hoopguru]

Is Simons going to be a 30 million per year player next year for the Blazers?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Were Dames fives straight losses and four of them by over 30 points?
Just wondering?

 

[Bingo Bango]

Yep, it's ok we are going to get the 7th pick and it's going to be someone who is going be a star.

You know this how?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

What about Simons? Isnt he going to want to start somewhere or do you think he'd be good with coming off the bench?

That's the problem. Same as CJ. Very expensive 6th man?

 

[Chris Craig]

You know this how?

I was being sarcastic

 

[Bingo Bango]

We are flat out sit Simons Tanking with a capital T. There is direction now. We want a good pick and will do whatever it takes to get one.

So we’re subjecting the young guys to 40-point blowouts so we can get a star in the draft? Really? Do you know how many 1st round picks have been busts? I can think of many drafts where the 15th player picked ended up being better than the fifth player picked. This whole tanking thing is embarrassing and just plain stupid.

 

[Haakzilla]

...impressive final box score BINGO in this game! Not one, but two players finished with 1 point! 2 points! 3 points! No 4, but 5 and 6 points too! This has to be some kind of record

 

[stampedehero]

Pure Tank mode>>>>Trail Blazers vs. Timberwolves - Box Score - March 7, 2022 - ESPN Actually, this is embarrassing!

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Is Simons going to be a 30 million per year player next year for the Blazers?

That would be about par for the course.
