Oh come on! @Chris Craig and I can't hang out and drink whiskey afterwards? Not fair sir.

Sure you can, just at Jacks is all. lol.

And yell the Blazers to a win

 

[Chris Craig]

I think it is fair to say that either the coach or the front office (or both) like Pat a lot more then most of us posters. He has been in the rotation a lot this year (essentially whenever someone is hurt). I can certainly see Quarterman gone next year but they seem committed to developing Project Pat at this point from all indications.

We could have easily started Turner over Pat so if he is indeed starting, I think that says something.

Yeah it says Stotts wants some kind of a bench tonight

 

[PDXFonz]

Turn down for.... Pat Connaughton and Shabazz Napier.

Damned straight!

 

[Chris Craig]

Tonight's lineup

Napier/Quarterman/Turner
Connaughton/Turner
Harkless/Layman/Turner
Aminu/harkless/Layman
Vonleh/Butters

If Turner started we'd have Tim, Pat, Jake, and Butters off the bench sheesh

Turner is better suited off the bench imo... Will give you that!

Aminu is coming off the bench with Meyers starting last I heard.

Believe it or not, I wasn't denigrating either of them. My comments were based on....

1) We'll be way over the luxury tax next year, unless Neil does something drastic (which I hope he will).
2) We have 3 draft picks this offseason.
3) TQ and PC are not guaranteed next year.

That's why I see them as gone. It may come down to something like give Bam Adebayo a spot on the roster or give Pat one. Even if they like Pat, he'd be gone.

I am actually looking forward to watching Quarterman and Layman play tonight.....once in a while it's nice to see something different

 

[Darkwebs]

@Darkwebs make the changes man

Done!

 

[riverman]

We have a great 3rd string! Be fun with a garbage time roster tip off against the Spurs...never know...upside...they embarrass the hell out of Lamarcus

This game is going to be unwatchable. I feel bad for the fans who drove in from Medford, or Grants Pass or Bend to see a real NBA game.

 

[ripcityboy]

Just want to see Layman do something. Had some Terps tell me to watch out for him. And there hasn't been much to see this year. Although he hasn't really received many chances.

 

[Boob-No-More]

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

That line up would have a hard time beating these guys:

Anybody remember those old film reel Meadowlark Lemon features they would show in Health Class sometimes. You know with the projector? He'd run through the screen and all the kids would shout "Meadowlark Lemon!" I may be dating myself a bit but I thought those were cool.

Is that on the tablets we all got in school?

No I didn't get those tablets till college. And I was too busy watching David Lynch films to bother with health classes then.

"Heineken?! Fuck that foreign shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

 

[Jade Falcon]

Wonder if I should watch porn instead? At least I'll get some pleasure out of it.

 

[Boob-No-More]

This is not going to be pretty. But Stotts is pulling a nice Pops, and I'll take that any time.

A reverse Pop. I love it. I always thought it was disrespectful when he would rest his best players against us - especially when they would still beat us.

As opposed to the usual Pops.....

 

[TBpup]

Starting....'The Closers'. That sounds about right for tonight's game.

 

[PDXFonz]

ET bout to get a triple double tonight

Pat.... I have to play?!

Should've picked a game earlier in the season.
