Game Thread GAME# 79: BLAZERS @ ROCKETS - APRIL 5, 2018 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Can we keep this about basketball and not politics.
You can turn avatars off if it really bothers you.

If you can't respect that, then would you please kindly sod off.

how do I do that. I'd like to turn that cartoon off as well. It's seriously inappropriate.

 

[LuckyShot]

Sorry I went a little Trump there.

Go to the OT section and make yourself a little "I hate Trump" thread and rant to your heart's content. I'm sure you'll find yourself a nice group that will sit around and agree with you. No one wants to weed through that shit in this thread.

Not sure if this was brought up for the playoffs. Do I see Portland beating Houston in a 7 game? No

Do I see luck on our side? Yes


We'll fuck um up and go to the western conference finals!

If Portland holds onto 3. The only way Portland could then face Houston is in the WCF.
Unfortunately we'd have to go through the Champs.

When the Blazers play the Rockets in the WCF this year, I say we start Baldwin.

I'm much more afraid of a healthy GS than Houston.

 

[Chris Craig]

Harden is a pathetic cry baby bitch. Pretended to be hurt and sat behind the basket crying. Pat fell on his face after a hardcore dunk and got right back up like, "What, I'm ok" and carried on.

@SlyPokerDog @PtldPlatypus
This man needs your help.

 

[tykendo]

Well, don't go Liberal, and you won't have a problem.

Glad I could help.

Liberal? Nothing I said was liberal. I just can't stand that buffoon. Don't have to be liberal for that. Dude is scum.

What better way to do it?

I thought CJ should have stopped and collected the foul on that last shot. The defender was just about hanging on him. Dame would have hit the shot ..... and nailed the free throw. Just sayin.

 

[DDolla]

OK guys give me some big news please

Tune into Talkin Ball on NBC Sports Northwest where I will have two big updates on the Blazers ...

 

[KingSpeed]

Too bad Utah won't drop a couple of games to lesser competition like we did.

It doesn't really matter. If it comes to it, all we have to do is beat them at home on closing night and we're the 3 seed.

If CJ was able to gather and jump straight up he would have gotten run over. But CJ was moving pretty hard to the side and was just focused on getting the shot off without getting blocked. I doubt they would have called it even if he did get run over though.

Like the refs would call that

If the champs make it to the second round. They got routed by the Pacers tonight.

 

[LuckyShot]

Love the clip of Baldwin stripping Harden, then Harden trying to bully Baldwin and getting it stolen again, and the fucker still throws his arms up to complain to the refs. He's a piece of shit. I'm not a fan of the Warriors and I've been wanting someone to end their run, but not this Houston team. Fuck these guys. I hope karma fucks them with a cold iron stake.

That last shot was the only thing I liked about CJ's game tonight. He had to do that. He was mediocre most of the game otherwise.

Liberal? Nothing I said was liberal. I just can't stand that buffoon. Don't have to be liberal for that. Dude is scum.

But he speaks to Liberals on their level. You know....emotionally.

Look.....I get it. You don't like the guy. That's fine. I don't care if you do or don't. But really....does it really require you to make cracks about Fox news stereotypes (which I don't watch....I know that's surprising to some people that not everyone who voted for Trump watches Fox news, but it really is true.....) or make cracks about "orange face"?

Come on man. All I said was let's temper the hype about Baldwin just a bit. People on here are acting like he's the second coming of Steve Nash.

You disagreed. That's fine. But instead of approaching it rationally, you resorted to emotion, and part of that is aiming at the low-hanging fruit that "triggers" your emotion....in this case, a picture of Trump.

Do you have any idea how stupid that is?

Come on. This wasn't worth 3 pages of argument here. I like Baldwin.....but it's one game. Let's see what else he brings in the future.

Fair enough?

 

[LuckyShot]

I like that even Dwight Jaynes went off on how Harden gets babied by the refs. Jaynes doesn't have many homer takes so he's not looking at this through Blazer colored glasses.

Ed could play, but coach won't let him

BRoy has healed his knee, wears a lot of makeup, and in cognito goes by the name "Wade Baldwin IV"

 

[jlprk]

Jade's avatar fits Jade perfectly. I like it, even the nerd-fake suntan. Jade, don't change it.

 

[LuckyShot]

Jason Quick big news

I'm guessing Ed and Dame coming back for the next game. I hope it's that and not that Dame has a more serious injury than first thought and Moe is done for the year.

 

[LuckyShot]

That last shot was the only thing I liked about CJ's game tonight. He had to do that. He was mediocre most of the game otherwise.

I didn't have a problem with the shot either really. I was just nit picking because someone said they thought he could have drawn a foul.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jade's avatar fits Jade perfectly. I like it, even the nerd-fake suntan. Jade, don't change it.

And your avatar looks as annoying as I imagine you to be. Seriously, I get my avatar might piss people off, but yours looks as punchable as that Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli.

Love you too jlprk.

 

[riverman]

If your feelings get hurt by a fucking avatar,

my feelings aren't hurt....but you bring Trump's face into a basketball thread...you'll get Trump posts more than likely..common sense....it ain't about me...I was responding to your post about Trump posts in the thread.....Trump avatars in the thread to me are the same thing...honestly...I could care less

Fair enough. I just can't fathom the mindset of someone who chooses to get upset by a picture of Trump. That's all. Especially when the whole post that started this nonsense had nothing whatsoever to do with politics.

Dame plans to play Saturday per Quick
