billy donavan suffers from the same problems that Stotts does: will NEVER criticize his players

 

[Chris Craig]

What I loved about the Blazers is that there was no trash talking when they were up. No show boating. They were all business and all class.
Complete opposite from OKC

I have a lot of respect for that

 

[kjironman1]

Time to get my ticket for Tuesday.
Really hoping they put them away at home.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Both teams played hard.

 

[illmatic99]

Check this dirty POS out

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Keys to the Game:
ET didn't play in the second half
Kanter had a good game, the rest of the starters and Collins had a fantastic game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I feel like Billy Donovan basically knows he cant call out russ at all, or say anything even sort of negative.

 

[kjironman1]

Turner was a minus 9 in five minutes.

Yep did not see or need much of Evan Turner tonight.

 

[FlashWad]

I think Paul George made a couple mistakes.

1. Joining the Thunder.
2. Taunting the Blazers with that dunk.

3. Being a bitch.

 

[Hoopguru]

I think Chuck and Kenny are trying to purchase the Blazers!

 

[Strenuus]

So maybe not getting paul George actually helped us MORE.

Yeah Zach played great in the 4th. Overall though the rest of the bench was a negative (excluding the last 90 seconds)
2 baskets combined from ET, Curry, Meyers and Hood. Ouch

 

[Strenuus]

3. Being a bitch.

4. "Ow. My shoulder hurts. Next question."

 

[Labinot41]

Paul George is a dirty motherfucker, i hate him from now

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Looking through the thread, there was a lot of Harkless hate in the first half.

I'm glad I only watched the second; I have mostly good feelings about Moe tonight.

 

[LuckyShot]

ET 1 for 9 with a +/- of negative infinity....STOP PLAYING HIM

He didn't play him in the second half. He kept CJ in and it worked. CJ stalled the run they tried to make and may have even extended the lead.

 

[joeBlazers]

David Stern watching?

Paul George is a dirty motherfucker, i hate him from now

 

[JDC]

Publicly...

 

[LuckyShot]

Paul George is a dirty motherfucker, i hate him from now

Saw that live

 

[Orion Bailey]

I shall not give in to tyranny, in any form!!

Granted, I'm not as stubborn as @Orion Bailey (no one is), but I'm too stubborn to stop rooting and hoping for the Blazers.

We shall overcome!

Oh shit. What did i do now?

 

[FlashWad]

3. Being a bitch.

Is that really a mistake though? I thought it was more a sense of being.

 

[joeBlazers]

I have been CJ's biggest critic. I'm glad we have him on the team. Eating my tongue now on CJ. We need the man ... he is a darn good scorer.
Love this team ... except for ET and WTF is wrong with Hood?
Please play Jake.

 

[Hoopguru]

Yeah Zach played great in the 4th. Overall though the rest of the bench was a negative (excluding the last 90 seconds)
2 baskets combined from ET, Curry, Meyers and Hood. Ouch

With the playoffs basically a three point contest all they got to do is create space for the hit gunslingers.

 

[Jon]

 

[Strenuus]

You know what I do know why...

Dame is the best leader.

Westbrook is the worst.

Look how the two teams react: that's straight from the leader.

So proud of supporting a real dude.

Please play Jake.

Hood will still have his moments and come up big.
It’s been that way with our bench.

 

[EGame]

Is that really a mistake though? I thought it was more a sense of being.

I think it is. See what being a bitch has done to Westbrick? Dude looks like a scrub out there. Something has rubbed on George on the court from Westbrick and I think it has impacted him tbh.

 

[EGame]

Russ and PG next on there interviews. come watch the fun

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

CJ’s press conference was freaking fantastic.
