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

But did they get the ball also in the 2nd and 3rd ?

I'll re-watch, but I believe so.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yeah, WTF was that about!?! Nobody even seemed to care or notice.

I remember at the time thinking "huh, this feels weird... didn't we...? Ah well, whatever."

I noticed, but I didn't even care! Had this game meant something I would have been furious, but as it was...eh.

This game is what it'd feel like if pre-season games counted.

You know, this game makes me wish we had a 162-game season ala baseball, basically a double-header with every opponent, only one game you play players 1-8, and game two you play players 9-16.

Yep. Official play by play shows Spurs with the ball to start each of the last 3 quarters.

That's how little respect Meyers gets; they didn't even think he won the tip when he won the tip!

Should be the other way around though, like in high school. First game is the J.V. squad, and second game is the varsity.

Honestly, the more I think about that, it's pretty awesome.

Lol.....

Yeah, you're right. Man that'd be a blast. Maybe what you do is 116 games (4x each opponent), with your JV, then your V lineups on back-to-back nights, so neither set of players ever plays back to backs. Up your roster to 24, with 10 active each night.



What a nutty idea. But games like last night would be cheap and fun to get into, and your rookies would always get quality run against other players.

It's interesting that this is the 666th post in this thread.

More proof that Pops is the devil.

I was thinking having them play back to back on the same night; JV game starting at 4:30 or 5, Varsity game starting at 7 or 7:30. 20 total players on the roster--8 JV only, 8 Varsity only, and 4 that can swing between the two and would be eligible to play in both games.

Either way, it'd be a pretty sweet deal.

We played their starters with our third stringers, then spotted them a possession to help them out

I was thinking back to back nights to solve several problems at once: a balanced schedule, no back to backs for stars, games with stars are special games, but there are more games in general to sell tickets for.

Pop's a good guy.

I was at my brother's Seder last night, missed game, when I got home I turned on NBA TV. The trailer showed score, I thought oh good, they won, CJ & Dame rested. No idea the ending was so, er, dramatic!

Good to see Vonleh get some love; he is rarely the one they all hug at game's end.

I always said you only need one more point than the other guys.

Stotts draws up the Knee'd to Noah play for the game-winner!

This was a tutorial game for Nurk...he now knows the knee play

Maybe if the Spurs don't get the ball to start the 4th, the Blazers don't end up with the last possession to win the game.

TEAM OF DESTINY!!
