Game Thread GAME# 81: SPURS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 10, 2017 - MONDAY, 7:00 (PDT), CSNNW

[Scalma]

nice. Glad they're resting players.

So what's our lineup? I hope layman finally gets a real chance. Give him 30 minutes. Give Quarterman a nice run as well.

 

[Scalma]

We literally only have 3 guards for tonight: Turner, Napier and Connaughton.

Quarterman

Also, Aminu at point guard please.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Quarterman

Also, Aminu at point guard please.

HAHAHAHA!

"Chief, I want you to go full Westbrook out there tonight... break some records!"

*records being the record for most turnovers in a game...

From RotoWorld
After the game (Saturday), coach Gregg Popovich said he's not going to rest his players the rest of the way, and also he wants to get his playoff rotation in order before the postseason.

This game is going to be great I can't wait.

 

[Scalma]

Napier, connaughton, Harkless, Vonleh, Meyers the listed starters..

 

[BBert]

Quarterman

Also, Aminu at point guard please.

Well...that would be "entertaining" at least.

 

[Scalma]

Ugh, resting both guards? I'd ask for a refund if I could.

Pretty rude to assume no one is there to see Meyers Leonard and Chief.

 

[BBert]

This game is going to be great I can't wait.

Jeezus, sounds like the makings of a bloodbath.

 

[chzbrgr]

Napier, connaughton, Harkless, Vonleh, Meyers the listed starters..

wait what?

 

[BBert]

wait what?

Haha, your avatar pic is perfect.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

HAHAHA The Closers versus The Starters. I didn't realize the Harlem Globetrotters were in town!

I have a pair of tickets for sale...

How much do you want to take them off my hands??????

 

[BigGameDamian]

Haha Blazers resting players to play the Worriers in a 7 game series. Sure why not. Funny question. Make it sound like the Blazers are one of the elites.

You are absolutely correct, I can't believe the Blazers would dare to think they have a chance lmao what idiots!!

Yeah much more important to play them in a meaningless regular season game you have no need to win after they all worked their asses off in the last month and more to get us into current position.

I'll take them for free!

 

[illmatic99]

Crabbe, Dame, CJ all out tonight.

We're actually fighting for the 15th pick, right now I think we're 17th, so I'm okay with this.

WOOOOOO. Good work, Terry. These guys have all earned it.

 

[illmatic99]

Interesting injuries

 

[B-Roy]

"Injuries" LUL

 

[Eastoff]

When Damian misses 2 of 3 free throws, you know he's exhausted. Good decision.

 

[BigGameDamian]

They do have a chance. It's a slim chance but it's a chance.

[PtldPlatypus]

They do have a chance. It's a slim chance but it's a chance.

That raises the question--What has a better chance of happening: Blazers with Dame/CJ/Nurk beat the Warriors 4 of 7, or Blazers without Dame/CJ/Nurk beat the Spurs tonight?

Probably win tonight. Anything can happen in one game, so I'll go with the odds on that.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Lol 6 players sitting? Sure. But that is because 3 have been out forever and still are. Technically they aren't a full-go either. Dejounte Murray is out for them.

 

[Scalma]

I do however wonder if pop changes his mind about playing his regular guys after hearing of the Blazers plans. Not much of a tune up scenario anymore.

Plus we know their starters and have gameplanned. They know nothing about us now....

Everyone knows about Layman, stop it.

 

[e_blazer]

• Damian Lillard, right foot strain, out
• C.J. McCollum, right hand strain, out
• Allen Crabbe, left foot, out
• Jusuf Kurkic, right leg, out
• Ed Davis, shoulder, out
• Festus Ezeli, left leg, out

Who the heck is Jusuf Kurkic? And this Festus Ezeli guy, I don't recall seeing him in a Blazers uniform before.
