Game Thread GAME# 64: BLAZERS VS CELTICS - MAY 2, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

[KSF-ERIC]

I think they are better than that too.

They might not make playoffs. Sucks to Boston fan. THREE conference finals appearances in 4 years and couldn’t break thru. Now they may lose in play-in. I hope Brown is ok.

 

[PCmor7]

Fantastic win. Beat a great team on the road, pulling away at the end despite four horrendous officiating calls.

One other thing: The Blazers are so much better when they run. I always hated that they were so content to be a halfcourt team. When you have this many potent offensive players, why wouldn't you want to get them shots when the defense was outnumbered or at least out of position? It's not like we were stopping anyone anyway, so take some chances defensively and see if you can get some fastbreaks.

I thought this team was dead after all the close losses. They look like they've been reborn.

How much punishment does Dame have to endure before he gets a call? The dude gets zero respect.

One gets the feeling they're going to let him get abused until he demands a trade to a big market. At that point, they'll protect him the way they do guys like Curry.

The Blazers with an impressive victory over the Celtics tonight and they have now won 4 games in a row! Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to discuss what has led to their turnaround.

Huge win. Need Sac to hold on so we get some breathing room if we drop one tmrw.

 

[wizenheimer]

really good win for the Blazers. No hint of an asterisk like the last 3

Dame had a couple straight hero-ball possessions down the stretch that weren't smart, but were irritating, other than that a strong game for him considering how he was playing a week ago. And he was robbed on both ends of the floor on charges

somebody mentioned they thought CJ was freezing out Powell some from the offense. Kind of looked like it a couple of times, but I'd be surprised if CJ was that petty

I really can't stand the Kent/Hurd combo. Toxic to my ears

officials had a bad game

 

[Hoopguru]

They need Stotts as coach!

What’s the asterisk for the Memphis game? They had beaten us with injuries and then they were fully healthy at home and we destroyed them. It wasn’t close.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

They need Stotts as coach!

It’s true.

I hope so they are my fav team in the east. I doubt they miss the playoffs. We could as easily as them.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

4th straight road win by 10+.

Great time to peak. Such and enjoyable season with injuries and players coming in trades like Norman Powell.

 

[Hoopguru]

Speaking of Kent and Lamar, someone needs to tell Brook she giggles way to much.

lol...that's imaginative....pass the tin-foil

We will be 5th or 6th. Cs goin to play-in.

 

[julius]

I think they are well above a 0.500 team.

34-31

 

[KSF-ERIC]

34-31

Our schedule would be stronger if we were losing.

 

[maxiep]

lol...that's imaginative....pass the tin-foil

What's your explanation why he's the one superstar in this league who doesn't get superstar calls?

 

[MickZagger]

I think it’s important we re-sign Powell

 

[BigGameDamian]

Queens up on the Mavs 99-89 in the fourth.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Queens up on the Mavs 99-89 in the fourth.

I think it’s funny Shaq owned them as a player and now literally owns them in retirement.

 

[Strenuus]

I think it’s funny Shaq owned them as a player and now literally owns them in retirement.

Did Shaq own them or Tim dounaghy

 

[maxiep]

The Queens are going to make us sweat.

You can’t afford any of those not smart possessions in the playoffs. They not only give us an empty possession they gave up fast breaks in return.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Go Sacramento!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Thanks Kings! Great night for us!

 

[maxiep]

The way I feel about Sacramento/Mavs

 

[BlazerBeav]

Phenomenal maxiep!

 

[DDolla]

Kings are the giant killers

 

[BlazerBeav]

Spurs lose as a bonus. Let's go Raptors now!

 

[illmatic99]

Dallas went from 5th to 7th with one loss to the Kings.
