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

[H.C.]

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.

I did!

The only critique on Lillard I have for tonight against San Antonio, is on the second to last in bounds play by the Spurs.
Lillard can't lose Patty for a corner 3. Real bad play, could have cost Portland the game. It didn't tonight though.

Over the last four games, Damian Lillard is averaging 34.3 points (30-31 FT).

I feel like we read different forums sometimes. Dame was the only one getting any love in here last night.

Damn! Picked the wrong time to take a nap. Guess I'll have to watch the replay....

 

[H.C.]

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.

Overreacting?
It looks like most people in this thread are glad Portland won the game against the Spurs.
But still are annoyed they got blown out by the Pelicans last night.

Psst...

Blazers won!

You're not sucking the joy out of this win......we rocked the house tonight...

No, we're enjoying a really nice win against the hottest team in the NBA. You should try it.

Say what? Everyone said "At least Dame showed up." literally everyone berated the team besides dame.

Let the confirmation bias go. At least read every post from that thread before you spout off this alternative fact.

Sorry I missed the game. Watching the WBC. Alright we won.

Dominica win again?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Just what you'd expect: Get blown out by the Pelicans and then beat the Spurs. Sheesh!

They're a paradoxical enigma.

If you want, when i get home i can quote every single one that said a variation of "at least dame showed up, but the rest of the team was trash."

Itll take me awhile, though. There was a lot.

Okay since you wanna get all serious...

from what I recall, people weren't giving Dame credit but then again I was reading it while the thread was going so yes I could very well be wrong but from my memory I don't recall it. Do you get it?

why on earth would you even consider doing that?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

BEST WIN OF THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any win against The Texas Turncoat is the best win of the season!

 

[ripcityboy]

Dominica win again?

US vs Ven. They up one run. Of course, I don't think there are more than two all stars on this team. Not exactly our best squad.

 

[TBpup]

It was a GREAT win! Dame, CJ, Nurk....and Vonleh? Kid was 4-4 from the field and 4-4 from the line for 12 points and 6 rebounds. Unexpected efficient contributions in a close game are HUGE!!

Considering multiple people are perplexed by your original comment, you very well are wrong. I remember distinct posts that said exactly what you said was never said.

Anyway, I love you.

Vonleh has improved across the board since he's played with Nurkic..I think they'll develop into a solid frontline...

Okay then I am wrong, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[ripcityboy]

Damn, Venezuela just hit another dong. Internationals outplaying Americans at their own game. Even the Dutch could kick our ass. Fuck my shit up fam.

When the big men (on this team) that he has to work with are soft (Leonard), offensively limited (Plums and Davis), injured (Festivus) and Aminu, it's not like he had a positive/helpful influence to work with on the team.

 

[oldfisherman]

Fire the coach, Pop needs to go.

Fuck yeah! And hire him here!

I just like the combination...Vonleh can be a real solid old school power forward and Nurkic might still be growing...21 and 22 years old...I mean..what's not to like?

Can we make the playoffs and get a top ten pick. That's all I care about, doing both of those..... Make the playoffs and get a top ten pick. That is SO TOTALLY possible.
