Game Thread GAME# 73: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - MARCH 24, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Fuck. Davis should have just held it and threw it up at the buzzer for shits.

I mean, Harkless did draw a foul, he just didn't realize they aren''t going to call it in that situation unless they tackled him to the ground.

 

[Strenuus]

Fuck it. Get the next one.

Fuck off NBA and Clippers for looking like you fucking cheated to get a timeout.

 

[Cippy91]

Close.. But like I said it's not hard to see this loss coming this team has a looooong ways to go

Dude. Seriously? We were right there the whole time. Nothing but negativity from you all the time, gets tiresome.

 

[illmatic99]

Harkless needs some serious BBIQ to match his raw talent. Fouled CP 80' from the basket with 2 mins left and put him on the line for two. Got completely lost on switches late in the game, and then went to the basket so damn early. Shot should go up with 0s on the clock. ugh fuck. We played well enough to win this.

Plumlee hurt us quite a bit in the fourth as well. Fuck that game hurt

 

[Strenuus]

You wouldn't own up to it if they won.

He'd of never shown up. He ONLY showed up cause they lost. He literally is not a blazers fan. He ONLY posts when we lose. And if we win, he has excuses. He's not a fan of the team, he's a fan of losing.

 

[Jade Falcon]

#FireStotts. I'm gonna get that trending. I'm sick of his shit.

A few of those key mistakes were Harkless alone. He makes some great plays and I like him a lot, but he's still pretty raw and it shows in crunch time.

Edit: Oops didn't see you specifically called out Harkless.

 

[theprunetang]

Mike and Mike were mentioning the timeouts too, that another one seemed to magically appear on the scoreboard for the Clippers or something like that.

I can't wait for someone to watch a replay and count the timeouts. Fuck the Clips. I would say that about a poster here, but that would be a personal insult.

 

[Scalma]

This team would win 50 games if they stopped turning the ball over. And it's always of the unforced kind.

Also where was Henderson on that last possession? Why was Davis taken out earlier? Stotts made some stupid decisions so he's not without blame.

 

[Tunchi]

You weren't here the entire game. Stop.

I'm just saying man. I did confidently guarantee this loss. Regardless this season has been a success.

In fact it's been a fantastic season. But it's time we go full on the development and not care for the wins. Even if we have won tonight are we really going to win the 1st round this year anyways? Forget the championship as it is.

Just give me as much assets now. And go for the kill next year. We're already ahead of the rebuild. I'm not trying to be a 1st round "bye schedule" for the elite top 4 west teams this season. We're clearly not ready.

You know they will. That was some shady shit. Seriously shady.

It's Stotts fault. All Stotts fault.

So, simple solution: as a moderator, why do you not BAN the troll?

No. YOU ONLY LIKE TO LOSE. NO ONE LISTENS TO YOU.

(Hell, I didn't even read this. I can confidently say no one listens to you. Cause all you want is to lose.)

 

[Cippy91]

Redick did what he does, runs off picks, he's still an annoying duke pest. Got 76'ers and Sacramento at home next two games. Should be wins. Dallas plays golden state tomorrow. Houston plays at Toronto tomorrow. Yeah the loss stings but there were too many player mistakes to blame the coach. Harkless foul on Paul plus that last possession. Nobody was making anything and somehow we were in it till the end. Plumlees turnover. Etc.

What kind of idiot "Confidently guarantees" a loss? Who the fuck are you anyway?

 

[LuckyShot]

Who's going to do that? At most, someone on Youtube? And it will just be ignored anyway. The best we could hope for is a note from the NBA saying "oopsies". And everyone will continue going on as if it never happened. Fuck the NBA.

 

[Rhal]

This loss just makes me want to play them that much more in the playoffs

 

[Draco]

I'll be excited the day we hire someone competent as coach who can utilize his talent. Until then it won't be very fun.

No, that was failed execution. The coach can only tell guys what to do. If players choke and don't follow his plans it's not his fault.

This is a real bad loss for sure.

 

[theprunetang]

I sure am glad that we have fans that confidently guarantee losses. Gives me the warm fuzzies.

 

[Strenuus]

What kind of idiot "Confidently guarantees" a loss? Who the fuck are you anyway?

No fan of the team, that's for fucking sure.

 

[B-Roy]

Fuck the timeout situation. There are a billion reasons why you should never lose in regulation in that situation.

This is on part with the Corey brewer 35 footer earlier this season. When's the last time we had a buzzer beater?

 

[HailBlazers]

It's Stotts fault. All Stotts fault.

FYI @Jade Falcon , I was being sarcastic.

 

[Cippy91]

First career buzzer beater. Go figure

 

[theprunetang]

There is a review board that reviews calls for the nba. And yes, at the most they just concede to a screw up.

I'm not interested in that. I don't think they have any affect on anything other than to make some fans think they actually care about the integrity of the game.

Hard to count because of all the TV timeouts and then there was a ref stoppage for review.

 

[kjironman1]

I was thinking they could have fouled when they were up by three. Give then 2 free throws and make them foul to get the ball back. But in the end it's just another way to go.

Then ban him or ignore him. You bitching about every single thing he writes is actually more annoying than what he writes. I mean who gives a shit?

We could have done dozens of things differently and won. We played like shit.
