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

[Nikolokolus]

Link?

It was on the radio a couple of days ago ... I think it was Quick, but I can't remember.

Edit: Nope, not Quick, it just came to me. It was Chris Haynes on Brian Berger's show.

If the refs dont cost us the clips game and felton doesn't fuck up this game were tied for 8th

Rockets have the 8th seed now, with a record of 29-25

If your hypothetical situation happened, we would be 27-27. Not tied for 8th

Shall I make all game threads now? I think I'm as lucky as Kingspeed sitting courtside!

I hope it's true. Felton needs to sit his ass down and the Blazers need to stop doing him a favor by letting him showcase for a new contract somewhere else.

Just finished watching the game. Down 3, why not put Babbitt in? Makes no sense. I think we can only lose one game the rest of the way. It's closing in on done. I don't know why we lost that game. Ridiculous.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Johnny Flynn: 6 dimes, 14 minutes, zero turnovers (didn't shoot great though).

 

[B-Roy]

I don't know why we lost that game.

Really...

Really????

The answer is pretty obvious *cough* donuts.

I think I'm gonna finally concede. We will not make the playoffs.

Yeah, it's a real mystery ...

I don't think Flynn was all that great either. He's too short. A simple trap can stop him in his tracks, and historically, with higher usage, his turnovers climb up as well. But he can't be worse than Felton, and he at least can improve.

I don't think Felton can get even 4mil per this summer. Not many teams need a PG.

 

[Darkwebs]

Next game is a must win.

They trapped him all night and he still managed 6 assists in 14 minutes with no turnovers. That's pretty impressive.

He's going to get better, the guy is only 23.

LOL. well played sir, well played.

 

[Natebishop3]

I was getting nervous about this one, but tank god we have Feltank. The guy is like clockwork. Game on the line? Dribbles it off his foot. Brilliant!

 

[B-Roy]

You know what's funny about this game? Aldridge hit a three in the final seconds that would have gave the fans Chalupas, but it was waived off.

And get this about the guy he would have come in for. In the last 30 seconds, Batum made a bad pass to turn it over, and he missed a 3-pointer. Batum makes many bad passes per game and doesn't get called on it by the board.

I call him out all the time.

Shitty 6-17 game.

Because a game is determined entirely on shooting, no? Good thing he didn't do ANYTHING else on the floor tonight.

I said passing, not shooting. Felton's passes are only 2 feet off target. Batum's come from farther away and are 5 feet off. Neither player gets many turnovers for those bad passes because the receiver recovers, but it ends whatever momentum the play had and resets them to zero.

It's cause he's not the freaking point guard. You know, the guy who's supposed to be setting everyone else up?

Batum is a point forward in France! :MARIS61::MARIS61::MARIS61::MARIS61:

It's well-known that Felton lacks pinpoint passing skill. I'm just calling to everyone's attention that Batum is the same, yet doesn't know his limits like other big men, and screws up many passes per game.

That's not true. He has a couple, but he's not in enough situations where he needs to pass off. Most of his passes come from necessity.

And so what? Batum's not a good passer, great. That's not what he's in there for.

 

[Nikolokolus]

The thought of pushing play on that interview is unpleasant to say the least.

Listen to it. It's some of the worst horseshit I've heard in my life. It makes Canzano sound like rainbows and puppies.

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