Game Thread GAME# 77: HEAT @ BLAZERS - APRIL 2, 2016 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Kaman should replace Blaze as our mascot

 

[DaLincolnJones]

damn I love Caveman

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Oh hell no. In Oakland? Damian would slap him silly.

He'd slap him with his giant balls

 

[B-Roy]

Dame hasn't been the same for like 10 games now

I just can't wait to see what the playoffs will do because I really don't see what the hype is about to lose an asset

Look, if this year's play is any indication, the pick is lost. You're either losing it this year or next. If the Blazers make the playoffs in any one of these two seasons, it's gone. We would have to miss the playoffs for two straight seasons for it to turn into two second rounders. Sure, you might convey a slightly lower 1st rounder next year, but why focus on something so trivial? This year's draft is not even anything special.

 

[DUB]

Whiteside - 28:26 min, 20 pts (6-14 42.9%), 13 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 3 to, 4 bs
Plumlee - 26:38 min, 17 pts (8-10 80%), 8 reb, 5 ast, 2 stl, 1 to, 1 bs

Because ALL teams covet those Mid first round picks and would trade the farm for them. DUH.

 

[DUB]

I just think it's Damian's pride. He insists to keep playing. That's just his personality. Dudes a warrior. Coach can't just tell the player to sit out. If he wants to play, he's gonna play. What can you do.

Cross his name off the sheet a la CJ v the Clips. "Sorry Dame! It was an accident! Honest!"

 

[illmatic99]

Guaranteed at least .500 on the season.

Damn

Give him a club and a leopard skin toga.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Give him a club and a leopard skin toga.

Or a scarlet and black double ended dildo and a sheepskin condom

Damn

I think the only other player in the league that could get this team to where it is instead of Dame would be LeBron.

lmao, wouldn't be very "family friendly".

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland has now won a season-best seven straight home games, 11 of the last 12 and 16 of the past 18 at the Moda Center.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum is the third Trail Blazer to ever make at least six 3-pointers in a game without a miss (Lillard-1/2/14, Porter-11/14/92).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ McCollum is the third Trail Blazer to ever make at least six 3-pointers in a game without a miss (Lillard-1/2/14, Porter-11/14/92).

CJ McCollum is the second NBA player to make six 3-pointers in a game without a miss this season (Matt Barnes, 1/14 vs. DET).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

With 10 3-pointers tonight, the Trail Blazers have already broken the franchise record for 3-pointers in a season with 808 (807, 2014-15).

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

lmao, wouldn't be very "family friendly".

We can add a rainbow "don't tread on me" flag. So it appeases both groups.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mason Plumlee has tallied his 12th game with 5+ assists this season. He entered this year with one such game in his career.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Players with 6+ 3-pointers without a miss and 4+ steals in the same game: CJ McCollum (tonight), K. Irving (3/12/15), C. Barkley (2/22/89).

Hmmm...I like your thought process.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'll be submitting my resume to the Blazers PR dept lol

Why do you want Dame to sit out tomorrow? Playoffs aren't clinched yet and why should we make GS's life easy?

Fuck GS! We comin for you Curriors!

 

[Tunchi]

You do realize we're still 2-3 years away from contending whether we kept that pick or not, right? I mean, you do basic thinking and logic on situations like that?

I mean, it's one thing to argue and be Fox News. It's another to be... oh no, you don't do things based on common logic and knowledge of the situation... you ARE Fox News!

Oh so 2-3 years from now? By then Lillard will be damn near 30 lol

But you just want us to keep "participating" so your happy either way

Sorry I WANT RINGS

To rest him for games that are more winnable. They play 4 games in 5 nights and GS isn't losing 2 in a row at home after only one loss all season. He needs the rest....that is indisputable.

 

[Draco]

Our pick is likely to be #20 in a very weak draft.

Instead we get to keep our 2018 and 2019 second round picks. They are more valuable. Our playoff position is going to gain us an asset.

Boston beat GS off at b2b... Just sayin

Harkless is like our 2016 draft pick anyway.

Bullshit. We can beat GS. Can't throw away any game at this point in the season. He will get TONS of rest coming up. In the final TEN DAYS before the playoffs, we play TWO GAMES, both at home. He will get a TON of rest. Everyone will. There's a game to win tomorrow.

In 3 years, he will be 28, just starting his prime.
