Game Thread GAME# 67: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - MARCH 12, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

Discussion in 'Portland Trail Blazers' started by Darkwebs, Mar 10, 2019.

?

Would you rather have the 6th/7th Seed than the 5th, since it means we won't face GS in the 2nd Rd?

Poll closed Mar 17, 2019.

  1. Yes

    2.6%

  2. Yes, but I still want POR to try to win as many games as they can towards the best seed possible

    14 vote(s)
    36.8%

  3. No, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to get the 6th or 7th seed instead of the 5th.

    1 vote(s)
    2.6%

  4. No, I'd rather have 5th seed, so POR can have possible HCA against the 6-8th seeds in later rounds

    4 vote(s)
    10.5%

  5. No, if POR is in the bottom half of Playoff seeding, it doesn't make much of a difference where, 5-8

    9 vote(s)
    23.7%

  6. No, bring on the Warriors! The Blazers got nothing to fear.

    That is how you respond to negativity. CJ did well. Glad he responded to a few statements. All too often we post with our emotions and say some pretty tough things. I know i have. Gonna have to rethink some of my comments in the future.

    I'll echo @BonesJones in saying that I don't believe for a second that CJ legitimately took TPFKAHCP's phone and responded to posts.

    The "you know the game" line in one of the posts gave it away.

    Actually he said "....my game"
    The context of the statement rings true because this actually happened and i doubt HCP could have been in a position to know this.

    CJ almost viewed the defender leaving him as disrespect. When they did it it was all over. He totally took over the game. Then they scrambled to get it back. Doc absolutely went stupid on that move. Or are we going to say Doc doesn't always have control of what a player might do on the court? Please tell me that. I would copy and paste that shit all over this site!

    @kjironman1 this was the post I was referencing. "obviously know the game" I didn't quote it right in my previous post. I just feel that is a TPFKATHCP line.

    McCollum DOES NOT have a max contract and neither does Lillard.

    Learn your Blazers son

    So we have HCP impersonating McCollum eh? Well i can enjoy that as we have had bonesjones impersonating Dan Morang in this forum. One chose a talented NBA player and the other chose a Blazer insider. Zing pop bam!!!

    J/k :bgrin:

    Last night was another reason I've never been in favor of trading CJ. There just aren't many guys like that out there. He can have an offensive explosion at any time.

    This is just an absurd split of the double by Dame.

    Doesnt Dame have a Max contract for the year he signed it? The “max” keeps going up, but I thought he was at or near it when they signed him a few years ago.

    His contract is tied to the cap, but he left some money on the table. Off the top of my head i believe he could have been 30% of the cap and he took either 25% or 27.5% depending on who you read.

    He does. He got the max when he extended. Even hit the Rose rule checkmarks and got more because he made All NBA. AD didn't even get it from his draft class.

    Cup got this one right. He did hit the Rose rule checkmarks as yuyuza said, but rather than taking a contract starting at 30% of the cap, he only took 27.5%. So more than the normal 5th-year-player max, but less than his personal max.

    It's semantics. A 5yr 140 mil vs 5yr ~145 deal. Hardly meaningful. The key contract thing that we need to recount with Dame is his 5th yr not being a player option.
