Game Thread GAME# 66: SUNS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 9, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

Never play Meyers again

 

[Labinot41]

Fucking garbage suns

 

[KingSpeed]

Giving up over 40 in the 4th is not a good way to finish off this win.

Horrible. Crowd left up 24. Now 5 lol

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus H.

 

[Labinot41]

-11.5 over/under for Meyers? I say over

Told ya

 

[Darkwebs]

This is a good learning opportunity for Anfernee at least

 

[James lamphear]

That is horrible by this group.

 

[Jon]

Up by just about 30 is still not enough to put Meyers in.

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers a -22 in 8 minutes

 

[trailblazer18]

Our starters did a great job of building ba big lead and allowing them to rest. Wish the scrubs could have done better, but it was never in doubt.

 

[DollaBel]

Seth definitely thinks he is way better than he is. He will 100% not be here next year

 

[DDolla]

LOL the Blazers are -7 half did not even cover

 

[James lamphear]

This is a good learning opportunity for Anfernee at least

Yea it was good experience for him.

 

[Chris Craig]

Horrible. Crowd left up 24. Now 5 lol

How the hell did they score 19 points in 2 minutes

 

[kjironman1]

The one thing that impressed me is Stotts did not put the starters back in when the lead got down to 10. He made them not lose this game. he even called a timeout and told them they were staying in.

 

[wizenheimer]

So the Thunder beat us then lost to the Clippers?

don't sleep on LAC...they are playing well and are 7-3 over the last 10 games. Only 2 games behind Portland and 10 of their remaining 15 games are at home. Portland owns the tie-breaker though

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers tied with OKC for 4th

 

[James lamphear]

Boy bridges look good for them.

 

[kjironman1]

4 three pointers has that effect. Crawford can still play NBA ball.

 

[kjironman1]

Meyers a -22 in 8 minutes

Not completely Meyers's fault but yeah....

 

[twobullz]

I think towards the end the Blazers were trying to get everyone baskets instead of just running offense. Tried to force several into Skal that ended up in TO's.

Good night for Blazer-and-Duck fans. Blazers take care of business against a doormat; Oregon women beat UCLA in Pac-12 tournament; and Oregon men visit Washington and upset the conference champs. Duck fans will tell you that any win against the UW is sweet. Beating UCLA in basketball always has a good ring to it as well

I agree. They were looking to involve players that never get a chance and forgot they were playing a game. Then you have veteran players on the court like Jamal Crawford looking to win another game.

Beavers rolled on Wash State also.

Zach with 0 points on 0-5 shooting and 3 turnovers in 16 minutes of play, against the Suns..

That's kind of why i said it wasn't exactly all Meyers's fault that the Suns worked their way back at the end. Zach was a bit out of sync.

Or maybe he's just a bust i wouldn't miss him if the Blazers tradet him in the summer

Well, considering Zach wasn't in the game, that seems like a whole lot of nonsense.

Skal played the last 4 minutes, and was a -12. We won by 7, so Zach came out when we were up 19.

 

[Hoopguru]

If teams shoot well you have a chance now to make noise in the playoffs.
It used to be Defence won Championships I believe it’s more offense now.

Sorry but Collins was in the game up until the last 4 minutes. If you are trying to say that Collins was playing well then you are flat out wrong. Try reading the comment. Or is your point that Skal was the soul reason the Suns worked back into the game? Sorry but that would be wrong also.
Even if your +- metric actually meant anything and you were right would you not suggest the a 30 point lead cut to 19 would be just as important?

Game set match bro. See ya.
