Game Thread GAME# 67: BLAZERS @ SPURS - MARCH 15, 2017 - WEDNSDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

[Chris Craig]

On record as calling this one.

So did I...told you I smelled a win...thats team spirit baby

 

[riverman]

Gut check win after the unmentionable Pelicans game

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You spelled LaMartha wrong

#allheart

 

[illmatic99]

Im just gonna predict a 25 pt loss every time

Smh.

We're better without him.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk definitely blew like 4 plays down the stretch because he was tired, but I like the potential. It's good to work off that fat now to get a head start on next season.

He does so much and on a second night of a back to back. He's got a couple days off. He will be ok

 

[Sinobas]

Man, we beat the Spurs on the road. They were playing full strength and had a good shooting night.

Nurkic almost an epic 4th quarter, but he missed like 4 shots right at the rim. It seems his legs are shot or something. Meyers only played 7 minutes, which I think greatly helped us. Portland really needs a backup center.

Interesting how the Blazers win and @Mediocre Man and @Troy.Ave go silent.

 

[illmatic99]

Noah was huge. First time i saw him give us something of value

 

[Jade Falcon]

And Turner back saturday...whaaaattt

I can't wait to have him back, but he's going to be rusty, and we should expect that.

Nice.

I'm thinking about changing my handle to Hash_Tag.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

No ish!

 

[Mediocre Man]

I said I liked our chances on page one..

Youre a homer though so it doesn't count

 

[H.C.]

So did my eyes deceive me? It looked like Vonleh took all of Nard's minutes in the second half.
Hope it happens again.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Pops has got to be pissed...Good night LaMarsha!!!

 

[illmatic99]

Also, this is the kinda game that Dame just shows you how important he is to our future. He shows up and dominates. His numbers in second games of b2b are staggering

He also ended up with something like 5 fouls.

 

[Cippy91]

Spurs fans are brainwashed in thinking their organization can do no wrong and that pop can make every player the greatest. Know somebody from Texas. Spurs fan. Was at the game tonight. He is freaking out over this loss as if it's the end of the world and saying how the spurs need a player like Jokic or Nurkic and how much better they would do under pop. Fuck my life. I get so tired of these kind of fans. Entitled and spoiled

 

[Darkwebs]

Being so young, he can still develop into our PF of the future.

The Tunchi silence was the best silence. I swear when we won or mr "Feast or famine" did great, he was GONE

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

This is why I want to make the playoffs and face San Antonio in the first round. We'll likely sweep them, though if things bounce San Antonio's way, they'll sneak one and it could go 5 games.

In before KingSpeed!!

 

[H.C.]

He also ended up with something like 5 fouls.

Damn... so it only happened because of foul trouble.

 

[Sinobas]

Anyone miss LaMarcus after watching his performance tonight? He's the same old LaMarcus I grew to loathe, weak contested jumpers, putting up a large volume of shots. He had 19 points on 24 shots. Compare that to Dame getting 36 on 22 or CJ getting 26 on 16.

Should be plenty of them in this thread:

Should be hilarious reading.

He did last night too but NOBODY gave him credit for last night. He showed up and scored 28 0r 29 in under 3 quarters while the rest of the team shit themselves.

He uses the same moves he used here. I didn't see anything different to be honest. Only difference was they didn't post him up every time like we used to

Like we used to in 2011.

 

[Portland2014]

And here we go with Blazers fans overreacting and calling out people for only one game...
Basketball purgatory here we come, same old Blazers story, same old mediocrity.

 

[LuckyShot]

Not enough trolling material, obviously.

 

[TBpup]

What a GREAT and frustrating win. This team can win a game like this against a championship contender (on the road) one night after getting blown out by a bad Pelicans team that couldn't win a game to save their lives.

WTH!
