Game Thread GAME# 67: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - MARCH 20, 2015 - FRIDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Losing 1 ok. But 2 to two subpar and let me make this clear, eastern conference teams is unacceptable.

 

lol I didn't bait anyone. You did it yourself by choosing to quote and respond to me first because I suggested Aldridge may explore his options after this season in which you instantly told me to "stop it, were making the playoffs." I didn't say we weren't making the playoffs, but my confidence in this team is shaky at best knowing how tough the western teams are and how bad some of our players have been. Things can change, but as of now I'm slightly concerned and an early exit is possible, again pointing out how tough the west is.

What I still can't understand is if the magic and heat are tough by your terms, how are you very confident against west playoff teams not named the spurs or grizzlies? I think maybe the only team i would be confident is against houston since stotts owned McHale last time, but who knows.

 

Don't want to be hurt for team France in a couple months!

 

yeah I saw that. I'm still happy with my PS4 especially for the amount of japanese games that eventually will be localized, but it has had plenty of delays with there first party studios. I just pray Persona 5 is still released this year and not next.

 

We can't have RoLo only taking three shots a night either. Those two need to start clicking again with the Pick & RoLo.

 

Strenuus is jinx. Said we'd lose to Toronto and Memphis and win the other 3.

 

It's like I'm talking to Kingspeed.....
First off an early exit for any team is possible. Even the Warriors...
Secondly I said we're making the playoffs meaning Aldridge will be staying. To say he should consider leaving like you did and basing it off of THREE straight losses is silly. Which is why I told you to stop it. Maybe you're baising it off of sense the all-star break.
Obviously you're looking @ the entire season. lol
I've already answered your last question and won't repeat myself.
Once again, feels like i'm talking to Kingspeed.

Bait

 

Well I thought we were tanking to meet the Clippers in the 1st round, maybe I was right.

 

Hope not! Outside of Memphis, LAC is the team we should try to avoid the most. CP3 goes off and the Clippers double Dame at every opportunity.

 

lol just going around in circles. what does any other teams chances of an exit early have anything to do with this conversation? Nothing. Nothing at all. This is about the Blazers. And yes if the Blazers have an early exit, Aldridge should consider it. I don't want him to and would be sad to see it, but have you seen what he's been working with? This hasn't been since the all star break this has been since January when Dame was in his slump, when batum was garbage and wes was inconsistent. When our bench was limited. Jump to now and it is more of the same with some nice wins mixed in. Lillard has been better, but his 3 point shot is still shit and Batum still chooses his games when he feels like being aggressive and lackluster with regards to scoring.

Just because we make the playoffs doesn't guarantee anything. I very much want Aldridge to stay, but know that the possibility of the worst is always there especially if the rest of our team doesn't perform.

 

I'll give you a reason why he should consider leaving. I look at teammates like Nic, I'm not sure if it's ditsiness or what. But there is something missing or just wrong there. He has more to give. A lot more. LA could have used the help last two games and he jars like Nic are no where to be found. I'm not sold it matters to Nic either. I believe he is fine win or lose.

I made a comment last night that I hope LA senses that his teammates want it as bad as he does. He's made two sincere efforts to pull out the victory two games in a row and I can't say the same for some of his teammates.

 

How was dinner with the Godfather?

 

did you sniff butts before or after?
