Game Thread GAME# 69: BLAZERS @ SPURS - MARCH 17, 2016 - THURSDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), KGW & NBATV

[KingSpeed]

Dame is clearly sick. Sit him down.

 

[VenomXL]

Really tough night for Dame. Putting up air balls.

 

[Rhal]

Hassan Whiteside is something like 54 for his last 63 or something like that from the foul line after struggling all year. If he can shoot FTs to go with his shot-blocking and rebounding, that might not be a bad get. It would have to have a team option or something due to the lack of longevity in production.

We would have to give him a max and from all reports out of Miami they have problems with him. There is also the fact Miami is a better D team with him off the floor, not a great sign for a defensive guy. Seems like a McGee but with a much better offensive game.

 

[Cippy91]

I say okay give vonleh time to improve but not starter minutes. Meyers Leonard will want way too much money, let him go. Crabbe is a catch and shoot guy but he's been playing pretty bad lately. We need a legit big and another player who can score. I see too much Lillard and McCollum. Too much pressure on them to literally carry this team.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dame time coming

 

[TBpup]

4 games all blowouts

Right. It wasn't that the Blazers lost, it's HOW they lost.

 

[Rhal]

I'm not sure, but he's too dumb to play. I'd rather develop Pat, than play Aminu.

Pats more of a 4 isn't he? I do like to see pat get time, he seems to have a nice all around game.

 

[ripcityboy]

as we are now, we can't. We will probably get a gentlemens sweep against them.

Tell me when we'll sport a roster that good to match up. At least Leicester City can win the PL....

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I hate patty mills

 

[BigGameDamian]

Our bigs are just terrible. we need a huge upgrade this offseason

Let the cake bake.

 

[Cippy91]

Take the starters out please we got a must win game tomorrow

 

[kjironman1]

Man Mills is a great shooter...Better than Curry....At least tonight.

 

[blue9]

I hated the Spurs the moment they got Flaccid Aldridge, but Kevin Martin is just the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

 

[Rhal]

I dont' mind the loss but I want to see us have some fire this last 10m. Lets see some caring.

 

[blue9]

Stupid, stupid Aminu.

 

[Rhal]

Can we institute an Aminu isn't allowed to dripple rule?

PLEASE!

I'd have no problem letting Crabbe go if we can keep Henderson for the same price or cheaper. But yeah we desperately need a big who can score on his own at least occasionally.

 

[Rhal]

Stupid, stupid Aminu.

Plays like that are why I tend to forgive the other play he just had. Would love to see him in a smaller roll though.

 

[Chris Craig]

15 points is nothing

I thought it was actually a foul, but the refs swallowed their whistle to "even things out" now that the win has been secured.

 

[KingSpeed]

Guys, don't overreact to this. NO TEAM HAS BEATEN THE SPURS AT HOME THIS SEASON. We are fine. Still 6th seed. If we lose, we are 20-10 in last 30. That is GOOD.

 

[kjironman1]

Giving up way too many waltzes to the basket.

 

[Rhal]

It probably was a foul but how quickly he was able to switch and contest the shot, its something Aminu has shown he can do as well as dribble the ball at arms length and lose it half the time.

 

[Rhal]

Green gives Lillard problems.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Can we institute an Aminu isn't allowed to dripple rule?

Is drippling anything like dapping?

 

[MarAzul]

I love Patty Mills

 

[PHXBlazer1]

what a fucking joke martin

 

[Rhal]

so the refs are just going to ignore the fact the rim was grabbed and pulled as the shot hiut the rim and went into the air.

 

[Jon]

Spurs are just on fire. This sucks.
