Have you forgiven Aldridge for defecting to the Spurs?

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.
Yeah except Utah wins tonight. We have been playing shit basketball and still have to play the Warriors again. As well as the clippers and Dallas two more times. Basically 6-9 is a toss up
 
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.
He has flashes of great defense, but also completely loses his man way too often. Aminu is "one step forwards, two steps back" - the good never comes close to out-weighing the bad, except once every ten games.

5-9 really, the grizz are having one hell of a hard time as well.
 
That is the difference. Spurs holding a commanding lead without a starter on the court. DEPTH!

We either make the playoffs or we get a lottery pick. I have no problem with either outcome.
 
Green gives Lillard problems.
I think right now it's Lillard giving Lillard problems. Yeah they did a good job on him but apparently he's battling a cold plus I think he was very frustrated with foul calls early on
 
God. I hope Olshey has some plans in free agency. (fingers crossed)
 
You know what frustrates me the most about all of this? And tell me if I'm not the only one...

These two times that Dame has faced LA, he's had an opportunity to go ape shit and score like nobody's business, and show LA what he walked away from. And to embarrass him.

And yet...two underwhelming games in a row against SA. And LaBitch sits there laughing on the bench.

It drives me fucking batshit nuts.
 
We got one last run in us, lets see what we can get this down too.

I don't either I just like the story of a team who lost 4 of 5 starters making the playoffs with a guy named Damian Lillard leading the way. More attractive story than us falling short for a lottery pick.
 
COACHING. I really don't see a huge talent disparity.
Really? You don't see more talent on that bench and in that starting line up? How about West playing for 1 million this year just to get a ring?

Me too.

22 3r 9 assists.
27 7r 6 assists
Those aren't bad numbers
 
Just keep playing tough Blazers. I'm always happy if they just keep playing and never quit trying to gut out a win.

Yes, they are more talented - but not by as much as it appears. They aren't winning off of talent, they're winning because of their coaching. They have one really good player and a bunch of role players. We have two really good players and a bunch of role players.

I wish that the world cared more about a story like that.... but remember that line from Moneyball. "It only matters if we win the Series." Billy meet Neil.

No stems, smooth taste, great posts!
 
And they have 4 HOF's playing for them right now. Maybe 5?
Duncan, Parker, Ginobli...and? All three of them are role players at this point - very good role players, but role players none the less.
 
Plumlee steals it from Allbitch. Pop goes off on Parker. Lol
 
Terrible substitutions by Stotts. Plays our starters heavy minutes in a blowout loss on the start of a back to back and 3 in 4 nights.

He starts Noah Vonleh for the entire season but won't give our best players much need rest. Makes zero sense.
