Jazz @ Blazers - GAME THREAD

[OSUBlazerfan]

Honestly i really hope this team does not make the playoffs for the mere fact that Nate will be fired, hopefully

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Well, not statistically all the time. He got one in the game late in overtime I believe, but it's usually a score keeper thing. Greg didn't get a lot of credit for the ones he'd tapped out, and it made me sad.

It made you sad? Lol, nice.

After seeing everyone else's responses to the post, I realized it was KingSpeed, and decided it was a wasted response on my part.

Good call.

You remind me of the baby Jesus.

Baby Jesus Shuttleworth?

Well in a sense that some people would just look at the boxscore and be like "LOL GREG ONLY GOT EIGHT REBOUNDS" without acknowledging the tapping out he did to his teammates who would let their man hang on Greg instead of boxing out.

Also sometimes because even our own home scorekeeper screwed Greg out of blocks so they could at least be consistent with him about the tap out rebound count or not!

Also I am overly sentimental.

Thats the one!

 

[toutlaw25]

We need a post game. The only person we could ever dump the ball down to is Greg. I heart you Greg.

Doubtful. If there is one thing the Blazers excel at, it is making excuses.

Last year I, and many of u, were laughing at Ric Bucher when he wrote an article detailing how OKC had a brighter future than the Blazers...

Looks like he was right

LMAO - overly sentimental? Did you cry when Ross and Rachel ended up together? I heard it's our scorekeeper's inconsistencies that ultimately led to Greg's injury. I kid, I kid.

But I have long wondered how the scorekeeper tracks rebounds and blocks. Too much room to manipulate the stats there, like when Blake had the 16 assists or whatever in the 1st quarter.

Sorry, you can't possibly know something like that until 5-6 years have gone by.

I will know when the Thunder win a playoff series this year

For sure. Cuz two years from now, Durant will blow out his knee, miss a season-plus recovering, and will have lost a step. Then, suddenly the Blazers will be back on top of OKC.

He'll still start the season next year IMO.

Good news for me.

Made a bet at the start of last season that PDX would not win a playoff series until Ronald McDillon was fired.

I made the mistake of saying "fired" as he is on one year contracts (because you know, he's FUCKING clueless and didn't sign a long term deal.) So if "both sides" "agree to go separate ways" it is a void bet.

If he starts next season I'm fucking rich! (Because he will be fired)

Wow! A series win in the playoffs! Exciting!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Nates explination of the loss

"you gotta get that board, we had to get it, cost us the game"

really nate? how bout 10 points in the 4th? what part of the game did that effect?

 

[toutlaw25]

Better than not making the playoffs.

It's really just up to the home guy to call it how he wants. There was an interesting article on Truehoop about one of the Lakers scorekeepers or Grizzlies scorekeepers from when Van Excel was still with the Lakers a while back.

And no to the Ross and Rachael thing - but that is because I really never got into Friends and any value the show had ended after like season five like most shows do, except Seinfeld really. (I just had to answer this, sorry).

Nope just something the Blazers will not have done since 10 years ago

Well, as they say, the coach can't get out and do it for the players. And even if Mac could, he really couldn't after tearing his ACL. He sat Batum too long IMO. And our entire team went cold.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Yeah, it actually would be kind of exciting Mrs. McDillon.

 

[RoyToy]

Yeah, sucks for Houston and NO they won't be there.

 

[oldmangrouch]

When was the last time the Blazers did it?

 

[RoyToy]

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Yeah, it actually would be kind of exciting Mrs. McDillon.

And it would automatically mean they have a brighter future than the Blazers. Yup. Forget the following years, it will be determined this year and that's final.

 

[OddEnormous]

I believe it was only 3 FG's?

That was a home game BTW.

That's not what you said.

You said "Oh exciting"

As if we piss playoff series victories right and left.

It was pretty weird.

yep it only took a myriad of injuries for them to get a whopping 3 game lead on the Blazers! Bucher is a GENIUS!!!

How so? Do you believe if we were healthy we'd even be thinking about the Thunder? We'd be contenders for the WCF and a 55-60 win season.
