Another example of Chris Haynes not winning over CLE players:

Yes, he is. Unfortunately, he's not much of a basketball player. His 3-10 FG and 1-4 FT are even more typical for the well-traveled Mr. Robinson than his high rebounding total. His continual poor shooting, from both the field and the line, is also indicative of his lack of basic fundamental skills. There's a reason a guy capable of grabbing 15 rebounds in 18 minutes is now on his 4th team in 3 years in the league.

Interesting timing

Interesting. Two of the games yesterday already have reports of the officials' work last night (that at least ended within 5 points or were within 5 points at some point in the last 2 minutes). But not Houston/Portland.

They must have a mountain of evidence to go through.

I've been noticing that they've only been putting up reports for a fraction of the games, at least that's all I've been able to find. Still don't see a report for the Minnesota game. What's the point of this exercise if you don't do it for every game?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Silver ate the report because he was embarrassed.

I think it's because of this loophole: "all games within five points at the two minute mark of regulation"... so as long as Portland had a 6 point lead with 2 minutes to go, you as an official can fuck them over in the last 1:59 without consequences.

Ahhhh, thanks. That clears that up.

Edit: So since it was a 6 point game last night at the two minute mark I guess we don't get a report, even though it was a very close game down the stretch... that's ridiculous.

That's such BS, if we had lost that game... would the league even acknowledge the Brewer hack?

They'd probably have apologized to Houston for making them work for the win.

Interesting timing

Can the Wiz actually remember how to play basketball well enough to help us out?

Actually, our backup stretch 4 Meyers Leonard had 8 points on 3-4 FG and 3 rebounds in 8 minutes in a win over the 3rd seed in the West.

That's much more efficient that TRob's 7 points on 3-10 FG and 1-4 FT in 17 minutes in a loss.

But, it's great to see our former end of bench guys putting up great numbers on crappy teams. Maybe TRob will impress someone enough to get picked up by his 5th team in 4 years this summer.

The green font didn't come across, huh?
I actually quite like the guy that should be our stretch 4 (Leonard). But all too often Wright is our stretch 4 instead.

 

[KingSpeed]

Grizzlies about to tumble down the standings.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Let's go Cavs!

Looks like the answer was yes. We're now even with Memphis in the loss column. Blazers have a very real possibility of moving into the 2 spot by the end of this weekend.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gobert 14 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 blocks with three minutes left in first half.

A lot of games tonight for a Thursday

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Rockets trailing the Jazz by 9...lets go Utah!

 

[KingSpeed]

Let's go Cavs!

I want Spurs to overtake Houston, Clippers, and Grizzlies. I'd rather not play Spurs til later rounds. So.. go Spurs!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

The highly anticipated Knicks/Lakers matchup starts soon. Shouldn't that be a TNT game?

I definitely want the Jazz to win.

Hmm I didn't think about it like that...you make a good point

Hahaha totally!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I think we're gonna get the 2 seed

 

[Boise Blazer]

I think this upcoming road trip will go a long way towards determining our chance at the 2nd seed

 

[PHXBlazer1]

High scoring game in San Antonio

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I think we'll sweep this road trip. Only game I'm worried about is Orlando

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If the Spurs overtake all those teams, they'd be the 3 seed while we're the 2. We don't want that. Spurs need to stay back in the 4-5 spot so they can meet up with the Warriors (or Thunder?) in the second round.

This.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

No defense being played in San Antonio. Blazers/Hawks finals looking more and more likely

Well, since it's basically a third of our remaining season...duh?
