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

Me neither. Reggie Miller planted some permanent hatred seeds in me last night. He just got added to my list of people I'd rather not meet than meet; him and Donald Trump, Kevin Durant, Dustin Hoffman, Kanye West, et al...

I've hated Reggie for years. But last night was worse than anything I can recall. And it has nothing to do with him balking at Jet/Chuck - I totally agree with him there. But the "head butt" commentary, and the way he questioned all calls in Portland's favor and defended all calls in OKC's favor was beyond nauseating.

 

[blue9]

No ET again! There is a basketball god!

And apparently he's an Old Testament god. I fucking HATE Turner. But Curry is about 10x worse.

 

[CupWizier]

Apparently how the Blazers play doesn't matter at all as long as other teams are playing equally as bad.

and who said that?

 

[oldmangrouch]

For future reference, any positivity about the team will not be allowed and ultimately discouraged by members of this forum

You have been warned.

'Bout time!

Dustin Hoffman?

"Look, you have to bifurcate those two things. The fans are morons if they can't see how well this 5 year plan is coming together in year 4."

You mean we still got another year? Yippee!

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame played over 47 minutes last night in a game that was only 5 minutes longer than regulation. I don't like seeing that this late in the season.

hopefully, Stotts limits Dame's minutes against the Suns....and yeah, I'm assuming a relatively easy win

5 year plan to what, make the 2nd round? Lol.

We made the 2nd round in year 1. Championship in year 4!!! I didn’t move to Portland to see anything less.

Yeah, that wasnt part of the plan.

You're going to be disappointed lol

[kjironman1]

Anyone going tonight?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Had a great day. Drove 207 miles around the Gorge. It was quite beautiful. Only took a couple of photos though.

Let's keep the "Good Day" ball rolling by annihilating this team tonight.

Go Blazers.

You don’t deserve to be in the playoffs if you can’t beat the Suns at home.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You don’t deserve to be in the playoffs if you can’t beat the Suns at home.

Milwaukee’s gonna make it though!

 

[Jade Falcon]

You don’t deserve to be in the playoffs if you can’t beat the Suns at home.

In my opinion, any team with players that can't consistently make their free-throws, and coughs up 20 or more turnovers a game, is not worthy enough for the playoffs.

 

[CupWizier]

Milwaukee’s gonna make it though!

Boston should be out of the playoffs I guess as they lost to the Suns at home.

Well, no team is even close to averaging 20 or more turnovers.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Well, no team is even close to averaging 20 or more turnovers.

Consistently, no, you are right. But it sure seems like we have more than average.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I love Nurk.

I am not ashamed of my love.

 

[KingSpeed]

Highspeed you a funny guy haha. I really like you

I like you too, except when you bash Dame, the greatest Blazer ever.

 

[kjironman1]

Consistently, no, you are right. But it sure seems like we have more than average.

They rank 13th in the league at 14 a game. And they rank 2nd in FT% at 81%
I guess they should be in the Finals then.

 

[KingSpeed]

You don’t deserve to be in the playoffs if you can’t beat the Suns at home.

Then the Bucks don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Is Booker still being a whiny little bitch?

 

[Labinot41]

I like you too, except when you bash Dame, the greatest Blazer ever.

I dont bash him, he my favourite Player, but i'd like to see Dame time in the Playoffs, not just in regular Season

 

[kjironman1]

Anyone who thinks this is a sure win? I have two words for you.....

SCOTT FOSTER!
