Game Thread GAME# 72: CELTICS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 23, 2018 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), NBATV & NBCSNW (1 Viewer)

I didn't say the winning streak was. I said the GS win before the All Star break was.

The winning streak was in large part due to our opponents being either just above average 40-ish win teams, or having tons of and/or big name starters out with injuries. And I have no problem with standing by that statement.

UTAH, OKC, GSW(x2), CLE...

Didn't know we had to play HOU, BOS, and TOR throughout a 13-game winning streak for our 13-game winning streak to mean something.

Finaly someone who is realistic here. Thx Jadon

No need to thank me. I don't WANT us to be a bad team. I WANT us to win a championship, or at the very least be a top 3 team in this league. But having middle-of-the-road stats in Rebounding and terrible Assists ratings is not the way to do that.

Our saving grace is our improved Defense. And even I can see that it has greatly improved the past 2 months. But that isn't enough.

 

[DUB]

Um, I'd much rather live with Horford shooting 3s that uncontested layups and no defensive rebounding.

You asked for someone to explain it to you, not for someone to justify it.

 

[jlprk]

All are winnable, but the bench will have to be better. Dame had to come in early due to awful bench play. Looked tired at the end of this one.

Because Napier didn't play.

*Puts on Denny Crane mask*

No, because you're banned.

Muhahahahahahaha!

dame has looked tired for 2 weeks now. Streak took a lot out of him

 

[Scalma]

Why is Layman even active over Baldwin, especially when two ball handlers (Napier and Turner) have nagging injuries??

 

[BonesJones]

You can't explain something that makes no sense.

 

[DDolla]

Dame not getting sleep and stressing out, C’mon Dame Jr it’s time to come out now please.

 

[tykendo]

The bench gave up that double digit lead so easily. That kills a team. Time to re-focus, and move on. Stotts going to that small frontcourt took away the pick and roll between Dame and Nurk that was working so well. I just don't get it.

 

[Rhal]

This is the second game all year where we have launched 30 or more 3's and shot under 24%, it is also only the third time all year we have shot under 24% for a game.

UTAH, OKC, GSW(x2), CLE...

Utah and OKC are both mediocre teams that we dominate year after year, except maybe one game here and there. GS had 4 starters OUT of that second game, and Cleveland has......LeBron. And nobody else.

Were we supposed to be impressed by beating that? I was happy, but not overly impressed.

Minnesota and Miami too and a hot Lakers team

Sorry but that's not a excuse, if this Team want's to be a Championship Contender and Dame a MVP, he must do this over a Full Season

 

[SlyPokerDog]

It's rude that Dame didn't schedule his baby's birth for the off season.

The key is to be like Shawn Kemp and have so many kids you just don't care when they're born.

 

[tykendo]

Dame not getting sleep and stressing out, C’mon Dame Jr it’s time to come out now please.

Hey, blessings to them. They must be in an "inducing" situation soon. My wife was a week late, and the doctor had her induced.

 

[DUB]

Well having a newborn certainly won't give him more energy.

Dame will now play better on the road because he'll have more rest.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Ugh. Terrible loss. Goodnight fams.

The bench looks more tired than Dame. Ed was dead tonight. No spring in those legs. Collins and PC couldn't hit the broadside.

 

[DUB]

Disagreeing with a coaches decision doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense.

 

[DUB]

Dame not getting sleep and stressing out, C’mon Dame Jr it’s time to come out now please.

Dame is getting way more sleep now than he will after his child is born.

 

[tykendo]

I was never fooled. We won against a bunch of either mediocre teams, or teams with tons of starters out.

The GS game before the All Star break? A fluke. And until we can do it consistently, I'll stand by that.

If it hadn't been for injuries to our opponents, we'd probably be a 7th or 8th seed right now.

We're 30th in the league in assists. Tells you all you need to know right there. That's not the mark of a championship team.

I was never fooled.

Garbage. Poo, vomit. Stinky post.

 

[KingSpeed]

Win our next two games and the third is pretty much clinched. Let's get it done!!

I get it. I disagree with it, but I get it.

 

[KingSpeed]

He can afford a nanny, right?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You should make a video showing him how good of a nanny you'd be.

 

[DUB]

Ed did have a quiet game by his standards. I wonder if Pat was a little star struck, playing against the team he supported growing up? No idea why Zach was off, just being a rookie I suppose.

 

[Strenuus]

You should make a video showing him how good of a nanny you'd be.

I'd caution @KingSpeed from saying "I also do magic" anywhere in the video.

 

[DUB]

Unless Dame has a soundproof room/s or he's a very heavy sleeper, everyone in that house is waking up when the baby does.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'd caution @KingSpeed from saying "I also do magic" anywhere in the video.

The best part is when @BonesJones sees that @KingSpeed made a video to be Dame Jr's nanny and he makes one too.
