Game Thread Game #71 - BLAZERS @ PISTONS - MARCH 21, 2022 - MONDAY - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[wizenheimer]

yeah...I blame this win on the decision to activate Winslow. Stupid fence-straddling decision.Without him, Blazers lose. And it didn't help that Elleby had his best game

 

[Hoopguru]

Sorry guys when players play to win Im good with it.

 

[illmatic99]

Damn, this is a crippling loss

not sure what more they coulda done to try to lose this one.

 

[blazerfan11]

Winslow has made way too many positive plays in this game...on both ends of the floor

and where the hell is tankmaster Elleby when you need him?

Elleby was five for seven for 16 points (2-3 on 3-pointers). I didn't know that was possible.

 

[DDolla]

Brandon Williams Dame’s future back up.

 

[blazerfan11]

not sure what more they coulda done to try to lose this one.

Play literally play with one arm tied behind their back.

 

[Hoopguru]

Damn, this is a crippling loss

Na…

 

[illmatic99]

ooh.. Billups and Grant.

 

[PCmor7]

Ben McLemore came down with tendinopathy walking back to the locker room ... he's out for the rest of the season.

 

[DDolla]

Anyone saw Chauncey talking to Jerami Grant?

Winslow is our Patrick Beverly. He gets under the skin of opposing players with his defense. Then they make stupid mistakes sometimes.

 

[Strenuus]

Sorry guys when players play to win Im good with it.

You do realize the players ALWAYS play to win right? It's the organizations that try to set it up to lose.

I mean, it's REALLY simple. Glad I could help.

 

[illmatic99]

now nurk and grant

 

[DDolla]

Ok we need to lose all our home games. Tank Harder

 

[Strenuus]

WHAT?!?! THE PLAYERS TALK TO THE OPPOSING PLAYERS AND COACH?! NO WAY.

Stop trying to find something in everything.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fucking blazers man.. can’t do anything right

 

[wizenheimer]

Stop trying to find something in everything.

I'm suspicious of your agenda

 

[PCmor7]

Well, you look at the remaining schedule ... Sacramento has about four games you'd expect them to win. I think there's a good chance they'd overtake us if they were someone other than the Kings.

This win might have blown the chance to get the Pacers to pass us, though. They have a tough remaining schedule coming up with maybe only one game where I'd favor them.

 

[DDolla]

Need to sit Hart and Winslow to sit the rest of the season

 

[Hoopguru]

yeah i know that But I doubt Joe said anything to Chauncey on his first game as coach in detroit.
They could have not played Winslow and McLemore.

So tell me what will they do when they come home, not playing the vets and just go youngsters?

 

[B-Roy]

not sure what more they coulda done to try to lose this one.

I mean, there’s a giant piece of nepotism sitting on the bench

 

[Scalma]

Watford and Winslow’s defense pretty much won it in the end.

 

[Hoopguru]

I guess we will find out just how much they are tanking from here on out.
We have to many younger vets trying to justify their existence and 3/4 youngsters trying their best.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Goooo Blazers!

 

[DDolla]

Is this tampering?

 

[B-Roy]

Bruh can these guys hide it better?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So Nurk is signing in Detroit next year?

 

[illmatic99]

WHAT?!?! THE PLAYERS TALK TO THE OPPOSING PLAYERS AND COACH?! NO WAY.

Stop trying to find something in everything.

stop telling people what to do.

 

[illmatic99]

I mean, there’s a giant piece of nepotism sitting on the bench

good call

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Geez- what does this team need to lose? Is it time to shut down Brandon Williams? Maybe start BonesJones? How about simply not showing up?
