Game Thread GAME# 79: TIMBERWOLVES @ BLAZERS - APRIL 6, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

[H.C.]

Why are we losing to a team that's playing for ping pong balls?

CJ 5-13
Lillard 4-12

Pretty easy to see why Portland is struggling.

 

[Po'sFinest]

We don't have a center.

I understand that but Minnesota ain't good

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Lmfao, Lowry and Wall?! Those guys wouldn't improve this team at all. In fact we would be far worse if we replaced Dame with either.

I seriously hope you're kidding.

Um both those guys are great. A case can be made for Wall being best PG in the league.

 

[KingSpeed]

Four fouls on Towns!!!!

 

[BonesJones]

4 on Towns!

 

[KingSpeed]

Lillard getting more comfortable..,

 

[H.C.]

ROFL can't believe KAT is complaining about that call lol.

Wall is underrated and a better passer than Dame but that's about it. No where near the offensive player Dame is. Not best pg

hahahahahahaha

Put Lowry or Wall in and we aren't better. Wall gets assists because he has big men and shooters galore, Lowry is a pretender... can't even sniff Dame's jock.

Wall is having a better season than Dame IMHO. #2 in assists and plays solid D while leading his team to home court in the first round.

 

[Cippy91]

hahahahahahaha

Great argument to mine. Dude you are tunchi 2.0, act is old

 

[kingslayer]

Now we're cookin.

 

[KingSpeed]

Signs of life!

Wall is solid but he is surrounded with better talent at the moment.

 

[H.C.]

Why does Gorgi keep flopping?

 

[Road Ratt]

If Lillard gets it going and CJ can join him we will win this.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Is Nurk on the bench? He must be because he obviously told the team "stop being pussy and win"

 

[riverman]

yeah! Go good guys! Bring it on home!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Basically without Nurk we are the same team from before that plays really well when we are moving the ball and the 3 pointer is falling OR the team that looks horrible when when our outside shot isnt falling. With Nurk we don't have to rely on contested outside shots from piss poor screens and have a much more diverse offense.

tl;dr I miss Nurk

I just don't think someone who thinks Lillard is a better basketball player than Wall is worth arguing with.

Wall is better at pretty much everything. 100x better defensively, best passing PG in the league, much better handles, 2nd fastest guard in the league behind WB, quicker than Lillard, better finisher at the rim, better FG%.

Only place Lillard has an edge is being a much more consistent long range shooter, and even then, his average is only 3% higher than Wall's

 

[KingSpeed]

15-2 run!

 

[H.C.]

Evan Turner is on Wiggins, and now Wiggins doesn't score.
HMM Stotts. why is this obvious to me, and not to you?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Vonleh at Center vs Nards at Center is like Wilt vs......Nards

 

[PDXFonz]

yeah! Go good guys! Bring it on home!

Starting to dig deep, sense of urgency kicking in.

Let's go Blazers!!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

I understand that but Minnesota ain't good

Are you watching the game now? Towns is out. Wolves don't have a center on the floor. And now we are coming back.

 

[riverman]

ALL HEART BABY!!!!

 

[kingslayer]

Make KAT get his 5th!

 

[riverman]

TIE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
