Game Thread GAME# 70: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - MARCH 18, 2018 - SUNDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

[AFully22]

If Moe and Aminu can play even close to this level in the post season we are a real contender in the West. Dame and CJ essentially took a night off and let the rest of the guys handle the Clippers who are fighting for a playoff spot. That’s confidence.

 

[tykendo]

I love that CJ and Dame don't have to score 70 pts for us to win

Ain't that the truth. Rest of the team beginning to show up consistently, and that makes the Blazers a nightmare. Thought Dame looked a little fatigued tonight, but he played well anyways. With the pending birth of his 1st child on the way, i'm certain he has a ton on his mine. "rip city!" Yes Sir.

OK all the hype I have always heard from you guys about Tobias Harris......and Hark outplayed him. Sure he had a bad game on offense, that happens, but he looked bad on D IMO. Little slow

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers starters outscored the Clippers starters 98-44 lol.

CITE YOUR SOURCES BREH!

Naw we still need one as long as Connaughton is in the rotation.

If we'd drafted Dillon Brooks with our second pick.... we'd have things made right now. He'd slot perfectly next to Pat.

He's not a great defender. Orlando played him at the 4, because he struggled defending 3's.
But with Harrel, and DJ in the game. Harris is designated to the three because he can make a shot not called a dunk.

 

[KingSpeed]

We are 6 games ahead of the 9 seed now. We have a good shot at making playoffs.

Is it really necessary to cite a box score?

I'm starting to believe in this team.



Another impressive win for the Blazers.

It's probably just me, but it seems like Harrell is basically playing football out there. If the refs are going to let you
do that, then it's very effective.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I am soooooooooooooo tempted to call into work to watch that game. I really hate that I'm closing on Tuesday. Uggggh.

I just lost my Tuesday night work assignment. Hooray!

 

[ripcityboy]

instead of Napier?

No, at wing, not guard. Brooks has been killing it the last three or four games and he's an underrated defender. We could play Pat at SG with the second squad and suffer no lapses.

Harrell would be a pretty cool blazer tbh.

Our squad is deep and we are a match up nightmare for lots of teams.

Apparently...lol. Hope you can get Tuesday night off.

At some point, you're going to need this music accompanying that red line going upwards!

me, too. Midlevel?

Please repeat after me ... I hate Chris Paul. I damned hate Chris Paul !!! ...

So lucky. lol.

Well if that is the case, then he was never a good option for us.

Our 2 SF's are playing well right now and they are also 2 different types of players. Nice to have some versatility. I still want to upgrade at the 3, but Hark and ET have upgraded their games so at least for now we kind of have.

Dame's gotta get over his Chris Paul-itis or we've had it.

44-26, with 12 games to go.

If we go .500, we get to 50 wins.

 

[Scalma]

me, too. Midlevel?

Idk, where would he play?

 

[Boob-No-More]

The Clippers totally won the Blake Griffin trade. It's the rare trade that made both teams worse, but that works in the Clippers favor. That trade insured that both teams will miss the playoffs and that means two lottery pick for the Clippers.

BNM

 

[joeBlazers]

I remember espy prediction of 41 wins and miss the playoffs ... DUH ... OKC and Minny were supposed to be up there.

44-26, with 12 games to go.
If we go .500, we get to 50 wins.

Dame is driven by his desire to excel. He doesn't have to get over anything.
