Game Thread GAME# 76: SUNS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 1, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PDT), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

What's up with the Chineese ads?

 

[Mediocre Man]

You're the one who brought it up. I'm just saying that this team learned more about itself in winning with Nurkic then it did worrying about ping pong balls.

Didn't people say the same thing last year when we went to the second round? How'd that work out?

 

[Mediocre Man]

You are aware of sarcasm, right?

Not anymore.

 

[Scalma]

There is still no reason we shouldn't have an extra body at center. Do we need a hardship of something?

They don't want to go into luxury tax. Literally the only explanation.

If PA and Olshey wanted the team to tank they should have assembled a shittier team. It's not on the players and coach to tank. Any player or coach that agree to throw games are cancer.

 

[julius]

Not anymore.

I was being sarcastic, since I signed it "sincerely, Kingspeed".

Since you know, he says shit like that all the time.

 

[Scalma]

I can't stand Jared Dudley.

He's in beer league shape, it's pretty embarrassing

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What's up with the Chineese ads?

They say, "NBreeA, It's Frantastic!"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum (5 3-pointers tonight) has tied Clyde Drexler for eighth on Portland’s all-time list for 3-pointers made (464).

 

[SIeepwalker]

Booker just has to run in the general direction on the basket and he gets fouled

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Darkwebs]

What happened to Vonleh's headband?

 

[Sinobas]

Does anyone have any idea what the hell Calabro and Hurd are talking about?

 

[julius]

What happened to Vonleh's headband?

I noticed that too. Although in full disclosure, I miss his Sidney Wicks inspired fro.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's 26 games of 30+ points this season tie the franchise record (Clyde Drexler, 1987-88/Kiki Vandeweghe, 1986-87).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard now has 26 games of 30+ points this season, 6th-most in the NBA.

 

[SIeepwalker]

you know it's bad when your starting center is also your 3rd string closer center

 

[Scalma]

Imagine being a lottery pick, in your 5th year, only center on the team, and you're playing with the mop up squad.

 

[B-Roy]

Both centers in front of him injured.

Still can't get over 20 minutes without garbage time.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Imagine being a lottery pick, in your 5th year, only center on the team, and you're playing with the mop up squad.

He's making $10mill a year, he's fine.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers have won a season-high six straight games and are back to .500 for the first time since holding a 12-12 record on Dec. 9.

 

[santeesioux]

He's making $10mill a year, he's fine.

And getting trucks!

 

[BrianFromWA]

They say, "NBreeA, It's Frantastic!"

 

[SlyPokerDog]

During Portland's season-best six game winning streak, the Trail Blazers have outscored opponents by 12.5 points per game (114.7-102.2).

 

[SIeepwalker]

Imagine being a lottery pick, in your 5th year, only center on the team, and you're playing with the mop up squad.

And there's still at least 2 players better than you on the floor

 

[Natebishop3]

And getting trucks!

Obvious plug is obvious.

 

[Scalma]

Does anyone have any idea what the hell Calabro and Hurd are talking about?

I've learned to tune them out, especially when Hurd starts talking.

 

[Sinobas]

Obvious plug is obvious.

The guys at Northside Ford musn't know that using Meyers will actually drive Blazer fans away

 

[Sinobas]

I've learned to tune them out, especially when Hurd starts talking.

Calabro was going off on some weird rant about a cat, and venice beach and a detective.....is it some kind of inside joke. Not sure what i missed...

 

[PDXFonz]

I noticed that too. Although in full disclosure, I miss his Sidney Wicks inspired fro.

Yeah that fro was straight fire
