Game Thread GAME# 80: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - APRIL 8, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PDT), KGW

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Damian Lillard is the only player in NBA history with 59+ points and 9+ 3-pointers in a game.

And he's the only person from Weber State to also accomplish this feat on the NBA level.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

He's probably giving Mrs UCD the greatest 59 seconds of her life in celebration.

Wow. Quit talking about my mom, dude, or we'll have real issues.

 

[B-Roy]

I hope he doesn't play and we rest everybody after clinching tomorrow. Dame looks WORN OUT. CJ is on fumes. AC just had a fatigue based injury. Rest these dudes

Not going to happen. The team has too much pride and wants to finish above .500

Sorry, I'll delete it if you want.

Dame was so tired as he dropped a franchise record 59. Fuck 69, tonight we try 59 in honor of Dame!

Great game by Dame not only on offense he did it on the defense side too. What really impress me tonight beside Dame shooting was the overall team defense we had and allowing most of the night giving Utah only 1 shot at the basket. Great win tonight!!!!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It's so weird that this guy can't make an ASG?

Oddly enough, he's always that dude with the greatest stats that didn't make the ASG?!?!? I mean, that's odd right? You keep putting up stats that they keeping saying are the greatest for a dude to NOT make the game?!?!?

He's also that dude that keeps putting up stats the are in are company for HOFers. So, I ask, WTF?

The Trail Blazers finish undefeated (8-0) at home against Northwest Division opponents for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

Would someone please post the best posts from the Nuggets forum?

Refs aren't deciding the game but Jazz are playing 5 on 8. Tough to win in those situations.

looks like season is over... shut down gallo/WC/Faried/Nelson/Barton and enjoy our young core

I really hope all of our young guys are watching Lillard tonight. This is what a leader does when the chips are down. Wills his team to a win in a must win game. Take notes from Lillard.

It just pisses me off so much watching a vet like Lillard take over and make big shot after big shot.

I know he's about 1,350,000 times better than our best vet but it's all a mentality thing. He goes up to kill. Gallo goes up to draw a foul.

Dame with the dagger and 51 point game. Unbelievable. Crossing my fingers Nurk is back for the GS series...will be so much fun.

this guy is nice

Realistically though Portland aren't really a true 8 seed. The level they've been playing they're probably 4th/5th. Maybe even Houston's level.

Golden State will win but they're playing a team that should be higher.

With a healthy Nurk/Vonleh combo and their backcourt they could give GS some issues if Crabbe and Turner have good series.

They seem to have accepted the fact that we're good lmao
I'm going back to earlier pages

Gonna be a one game difference at the end. Basically the two teams were even all year but a tie breaker makes it look like Portland was actually better.

Play this season ten times we take 8th at least 7 outta 10.

yeah right

Why does every team become the bobcats when they're playing the blazers?

I'm telling ya- things just work out for them more often than not

Again this guy that sai we're a "blessed franchise"....

Refs giving Utah nothing and Portland everything. Not good.

Betting against lillard is never a good idea lol

This is why the end of the NBA season sucks. Half the teams don't give a s**t anymore.

Either resting for the playoffs or tanking for draft position. It's pure luck which teams get to face those teams.

someone's mad

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard is the only Trail Blazer in franchise history with three games of 50+ points.

 

[H.C.]

Past two years Portland has been losing up to the all-star game.
I didn't care that much about him missing it either year.
all-nba teams matter so much more.

 

[PDXFonz]

Did Dame choose this as the pre-game music today?

 

[noknobs]

Is Dame the 1st player ever to get 59+ points and have zero turnovers? That seems rather rare.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damian Lillard is the only Trail Blazer in franchise history with three games of 50+ points.

So the guy who got the Franchise single game point record and the most 50+ points game isn't an all star.
Damn our franchise must really suck

third. Melo and Klay

 

[LuckyShot]

third. Melo and Klay

Neither of those are as impressive though. The only reason either one touches the ball is to shoot.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame's 16 FTs were the only ones we shot tonight. How does that happen?

Well according to the Nuggets-board it apparently means Utah was playing 5 on 8.

I think they all realize how fatigued they are this year. Dame just played 43 mins and we had a 7 man rotation. Normally, I would agree, but think this will be different.

Let's see what DEN does with OKC first.

 

[Po'sFinest]

SO, where are @Po'sFinest , @A$AP Meyers , and @Portland2014 ??? Who else did I miss?.....

I'm right here !

Lillard was amazing. I was actually pissed he most those FTs at the end I wanted him to get 60!

Nevertheless he was amazing and I tip my hat to him

Those refs owe us one anyway. Literally.

He heard we needed a center and wanted to put on the old marching band uniform one more time.
