Game Thread GAME# 72: PISTONS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 23, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[The Professional Fan]

I'm everything Zach all the time I don't care. He has "it" he always has.

 

[Labinot41]

Lol Stotts takes collins out

 

[crandc]

Blazers need to stop leaving three point shooters wide open Ffs.

Blazers need to stop leaving three point shooters wide open Ffs.

Yeah our transition defense is pretty weak right now.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Olshey is such an conundrum. Bad there, good here. Back and forth. I see why he's so polarizing. There really is no "right" answer.

 

[H.C.]

Idm the missed three aminu. I do mind that you ran to a spot while getting back on defense instead of picking someone up.
That's just aweful

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Zach and Enes were playing well Terry...

It could be worse, Sam Presti for example, drafted 3 MVP's and kept the worse one

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

They should. Depends on their owner. But when looking at what LAC got for Harris and other similar deals, expirings and a couple 1sts for a player like Griffin seems like reasonable value.

I see can the argument to start over if you're trading him to a team like the Blazers it seems like the 1st aren't all the valuable. You do get a bunch of cap space from ET and Leonards contracts. Not sure what their owner is going for though.

 

[BonesJones]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion... I realize that Blake has had injury problems and is on a huge contract but he would look pretty good next to Nurk and Dame.

He'd look amazing next to those two.

Nurk and Griffin combined Per 36 Stats:
45.5pts / 21.5eb / 9.8ast

 

[cityofroses]

Dame passing too much now

 

[The Professional Fan]

I already knew this, but to reiterate, Drummond is a fucking beast

Yeah it might take Zach too, but if your Portland, you have to make an aggressive play for him if he becomes available. Especially if Durant heads East. We'd have a real chance at a championship.

 

[julius]

This is some ugly ball by Portland.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Starters really choking this quarter.

 

[The Professional Fan]

More Seth less CJ? Oh god.....hahaha

 

[Darkwebs]

Seth shooting with ac-Curry-cy!

 

[crandc]

Is Blake Griffin trying to pretend a collision with Seth Curry knocked him flat?

 

[HailBlazers]

@BonesJones what's the answer to the trivia question... What two players in the game tonight played two seasons together in college?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dame passing too much now

So this is interesting. Really interesting. I'm not saying I agree or disagree but the pendulum would have been completely swung to say something like this. In other words, he went from Kobe to Lebron in like two weeks. Funny.

 

[BonesJones]

Way too sloppy...

 

[TBpup]

QB Lillard with the 25-yard post route completion to Nurkic.

 

[BonesJones]

Bones what's the answer to the trivia question... What two players in the game tonight played two seasons together in college?

Players on either team? Or Blazers?

Might be Ish Smith and Al-Farouq Aminu.

 

[Chris Craig]

Turner looks like a crossing guard out there

 

[Jade Falcon]

Really, REALLY tired of these crucial turnovers.

 

[DDolla]

Zach was playing well then he sits... smh

 

[illmatic99]

Too many turns and bad defense. Zach and Kanter shoulda been in longer

 

[KingSpeed]

Zach was playing well then he sits... smh

Game totally changed when ZCo got yanked.

 

[DDolla]

Turner looks like a guy who come to work just to pick up his paycheck.

 

[Pinwheel1]

We have no one on the roster who can defend Blake. Jackson has always given us problems too.
