Game Thread GAME# 80: BLAZERS @ SPURS - APRIL 7, 2018 - SATURDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[DDolla]

Everything fell apart with Moe and Ed’s injuries. This team is not playing like a 3rd seed right now.

 

[kjironman1]

Well that pretty much answers any questions about who we don't want the Blazers playing in the first round.

 

[tykendo]

11 FT attempts, with all that physicality, BS Shabazz alone should have had multi And 1's. Man! I will admit that Blazers rebounding wad dooky tonight. Ed alert.

 

[Jon]

Oh well back to Zelda Breath of the wild. Have a good night and rest of your weekend folks.

Too new. Nes is better

Not really. They can beat these fools. That is, as long as Refs Pete, & Repeat aren't officiating.

 

[KingSpeed]

Need Ed back on Monday. And need Zach to not play like a rookie.

If we can't even beat Memphis and Dallas without two role players, then what does that tell you?

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Whatever MediocreMan is going to say about us as fans and the team in general is absolutely right, I’m sure.

 

[KingSpeed]

Not really. They can beat these fools.

With home court, yes.

 

[santeesioux]

With the way they're playing does it really matter who they play?

 

[BBert]

was Mills touched?

No

Yes but we did out-rebound them.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I blame @HCP for this loss.

I blame you for the dog shit on my porch!

 

[DDolla]

Like I posted earlier, everyone out West are all playing hard and ready for the playoff push except the Blazers. This is a 4 game losing streak going to our last game.

 

[joeBlazers]

My main issue with this team: HERO BALL. Some guys walk the ball up the floor and don't even wait for their team mates ... either they shoot a three with no rebounder under the rim, or they just try to score by themselves going against the 4 defenders.
Every time we run a decent offense by moving the ball and getting better shots, we look better.
Our offense looks so predictable.

Ed is not as unimportant as you think?

 

[KingSpeed]

Well all season long, we knew the last week would be tough. That's why we had to go on the 13 game win streak. We knew this would be tough. Monday will be our toughest game of the year. In Denver at the end of a road trip against a team fighting for its life. We'll likely lose. But at home against Utah feels good. We'll see.

Nah that team is deep and they don't make mistakes when it counts. Playoffs are where Popovich shines.

Yes Dane shooting 50% tonight was definitely the problem.

 

[DDolla]

Sorry Guys but here you go..... GO LAKERS!!!

You can only survive that when you have another superstar. Dame is only one right now on this team. So key role player injuries hurt more.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Ed is not as unimportant as you think?

I've never thought Ed was unimportant, and I really like the guy and want to keep him here.

But two role players out = we look like a 20 win team.......is not encouraging about where we are roster-wise.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well that sucks. On to the next game. Hopefully we can get a win at the mile high club. Davis will be back.

 

[KingSpeed]

Even though he shot 50% from 3, I still think he should've attacked the rim a bit more. Get to the line.

Sounds good.

 

[joeBlazers]

We lost to the 2 of the worst teams in the NBA (Dallas , Memphis) ... let that sink in.

 

[DDolla]

I don’t thing we get to the second round without Moe or Ed

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Yes because relying on San Antonio fouling is a great strategy.

They suck at tanking.
