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

[SportsAndWhine]

Nurk also hammered Capella in the first quarter as he went up for a shot and it wasn’t called. And our new big man PapaWhatever NAILED Black on the play that led to Swanagin’s break jumper. It swas also not called. You could go back and forth with this kinda thing all day long. Things tend to even themselves out.

Thanks, Superbeard. Or are you actually Vince Maxwell?

I’d answer you, but I have no clue who either of those people are.

this is a very subjective post.......and no....I don't find a lot of objectivity in many of your basketball posts. you have so many meltdowns in the first quarter of a game that it's gotten silly .you say things like..we're going to lose.....Stotts sucks, Olshey sucks....on and on....Swanigan you really bashed....then claim obvious sarcasm? not buying it but it's all good....show me a game thread where you don't instigate a long argument with someone about a Blazer player or coach dude...it's what you do...being negative isn't being objective. really though....I'm going to cheer on whether it annoys you or not

Metldowns... lmao. Thats false. I got frustrated with play but to you thats a meltdown. Fine. Show me a thread where I do? You've instigated one with me over Turner and Swanigan in the past two weeks, so don't be hypocritical.

So I'm a negative poster now huh? Funny!

Me: Swanigan wont succeed because of reason A, B, C, D, etc.
You: Swanigan has skillz. Who was it that said he wouldn't succeed?

Then you say I have no objectivity because I'm negative... You never argue all the points and basketball reasons I give. You literally have be a meltdown if you don't like my opinion. It's comical. I hold Stotts accountable for his mistakes, and I almost always point them out in basketball terms. I literally gave Olshey props earlier in this very thread.

It was obvious sarcasm when I said "Maybe we should start Swanigan!" Since you responded with something along the lines of "You were just bashing him" and someone else said "he changes opinions all the time".

Yall don't understand how someone can be a fan of a person, hope they succeed as a player, and still think they're not right for the NBA and will have a hard time doing so. I was cheering for and supporting Swanigan all summer league from the 3rd row. But since I dont think hes cut out, you have a problem.

Let's discuss basketball... You kinda have a hard time doing that.

[Boob-No-More]

PapaG only played 3 minutes and was a +15.

Even more impressive for fans of the small sample size:

ORtg = 208
DRtg = 60

BNM

 

[riverman]

You kinda have a hard time doing that.

you're speechifying again BJ.....triggered....eat your Biggie crow dude.....he came to play and played well....is it that difficult to read a post where I compliment a player without playing that tired..homer...rose glasses...label game? I actually like the roster we have....that's basketball...I enjoy the team...I have a hard time with repetitive angst....lot of great basketball minds here I agree with...a supportive environment is not a character flaw as much as it seems to bug you...move on

you should read your own post ....

Are you a 13 years old that tosses out the word triggered when someone disagrees with you?

Eat Biggie crow??? That literally made laugh. How has he served any crow whatsoever? I think Claver had a 6 point game once. Does that mean he's a successful NBA player? I will happily say when he played well, but that doesn't mean anything in the long run at all.

It's annoying since you can't handle anyone ever having a negative take. You bitched at me for pointing out where ET struggled, you've complained about me not thinking Biggie will be a good NBA player.. Even though they're honest takes with substance or factual observation to back it up. I have no problem with you being supportive, it's the fact that you complain about posts that are objective with sound reasoning just because they're not positive, with your disagreements lacking.

You say I'm always negative? That couldn't be farther from the truth.

 

[BonesJones]

you should read your own post ....

You really have no idea what's going on here do you?

 

[Lanny]

Neither will The HCP!

Is that a threat or a promise?

I haven't read the post you're referring to but I have to say that your post is a personal attack regardless of what anyone else posts.

 

[Lanny]

Why the continual personal attack?

 

[BonesJones]

Why the continual personal attack?

Me and Riverman don't like each other and I've kinda said "Screw it lately". Been annoyed at him for a while for the BS he pulls on me. Its a long history.

Whoever started it it doesn't matter. It ought to stop.

 

[riverman]

Me and Riverman don't like each other

speak for yourself BJ.....I've never said I don't like you..we've never met..I don't enjoy your game thread posts much ...you're making it personal...

 

[BonesJones]

It's not personal. We only know each other on a forum-basis, and in terms of the forum, you certainly don't like what I post and have made it very clear numerous times. So if I say we don't like each other, obviously it's in terms of this forum.

 

[BonesJones]

Whoever started it it doesn't matter. It ought to stop.

It should. I hope you tell that to Riverman next time he starts something.

 

[Lanny]

My post was intended for both of you. Sometimes you have to walk away.

Things do even them out.

Black & papag were both selling out to get the ball.
Officials, especially in the NBA favor letting players decide the outcome of the game. Rather than blowing the whistle and deciding the game.
Therefore they let them play on as they deemed it marginal contact.

I didn't catch the first half cause working.

 

[H.C.]

That's all subjective. 5 seconds isn't.

idk. my 5 second count is faster than most refs I work with.
Unless we're going to ad another official just to run a stopwatch for 5s calls. I'd say 5s it's a call that's pretty subjective.

Things get a lot easier once you just ignore game threads until after the final whistle. Ever since I started doing that I’ve had a better time on here. Or just don’t take anything anyone says in them seriously, most of it is emotion driven anyway. I was guilty of the same crap.

 

[dviss1]

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.

Bro..... I coached last night so I got home late. I watched the game at like 10:30. Late or not, I was YELLING at my TV calling him, ALL the Rockets who ever wore the uni (Olajuwon & Drexler included), and their fans, SOFT BITCHES...

JUST for Harden doing that WEAK SHIT...

You gotta 1000 between counts. Mine is like clockwork.

Bottom line unless it's like 6 seconds no ref is gonna call it.

The game threads were a lot worse when that dude with the Manson avatar and Tinuchi where still here. Since they were banned things have been a lot more bearable, and even enjoyable.

@BonesJones takes are much less offensive, in my opinion. A lot of people throw him shade for punching a hole in the wall when we lost once, I freaking respect it. Fan is short for fanatic.

 

[dviss1]

Refs don't use a stopwatch.
Therefore there is no reason why you should.

How can one referee the game and use a stopwatch? Lol.

 

[dviss1]

Man... Gon' with this shit...

Yeah I was just trying to point out that no 5s count is exactly the same.
You try to be similar, but it's virtually impossible to be exactly the same.
