MUST LOSE GAME: April 2nd vs Utah game thread.

[B-Roy]

It's true. And passing is a big part of his reputation, now that his rookie reputation for defense is pretty dead.

I don't know how many people call him a good passer.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Do you think he honestly believes there are people in the stands that love his game?

 

[barfo]

And that, my friends, is how you tank.

Batum is a point forward in France!

I don't know how many people call him a good passer.

He brings his European reputation here, but his risky passes fail here, so he needs to cool it.

 

[PapaG]

Operation Tank is going according to plan.

Any chance of Koach Kaleb actually stop pretending that they're supposed to win these games, and just start benching Felton and Crawford?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Indeed.

 

[HailBlazers]

Losers.

You dwell on that isolated island where the native rubes believe that Felton and Crawford make us win.

Fairly sure, Roytoy is just being sarcastic.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Next game is a must lose.

FIFY

 

[Mediocre Man]

So happy with the loss, but as a coach trying to win, why in the world would you not have Babbitt in the game down by three and needing a 3 pointer?

Tonight was the night that I actually thought our coach wasn't trying to win. The substitutions were not like his past games.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Don't you think that had something to do with Crawchuck being out though?

Man, what are you talking about? I would think you would be nominating Felton for the MVT (Most Valuable Tanker) award. He was instrumental in ensuring the loss by putting on his clown suit and dribbling the ball off of his foot on one possession and then allowing a Jazz player to swipe away the Blazers' last chance at tying the game on a simple in-bounding play.

We would have won that game if not for Feltank snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I've never felt so conflicted about a player in a Blazers uniform. On the one hand, I hate his guts like I've never hated anyone before (even Sergio and Rudy during their pouty days) but on the other, the guy pretty much single-handedly moved our draft position 2 spots in one game, on two masterpiece choke-job possessions ... It's a real catch-22.

lol...how true...

I don't think I have ever hated a Blazer more than I do Felton.....

 

[craigehlo]

I've never had less confidence in a player than Felton. And I'm including Ha Seung-Jin.

 

[magnifier661]

Thabeet is terrible. The only player currently that is worse than Felton. If you are going to tank, then start Thabeet and play Felton until he drops.

 

[magnifier661]

For quite a few games now, Matthews has been our best player in the 1st half, then been nothing (maybe preoccupied with defense) in the 2nd. I expect this pattern to hold. He has 19 points, 2 assists, shooting 6-7 in the 1st half.

Guess it didn't hold. Matthews = 33 points (10-12)

Wes had such a terrific game. I wonder if he's pissed that Feltank pissed it all away in the final minutes of the game.

I saw the look on Matthew's face at the end of the game. I think he was pretty pissed.

 

[THE HCP]

Wish he had games like this in January.

Matthews or Felton?

 

[jlprk]

Yes, and 43 minutes later I said,

Matthews isn't fading in the 2nd half like he usually does. The Utah guards are essier for him to guard so he has more energy for the rest of his game.

 

[B-Roy]

Matthews or Felton?

Obviously Matthews because Felton WAS having games like this in Jan.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I wish Crawford had games like this in January
