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

    36.8%
  3. No, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to get the 6th or 7th seed instead of the 5th.

    2.6%
  4. No, I'd rather have 5th seed, so POR can have possible HCA against the 6-8th seeds in later rounds

    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

    23.7%
  6. No, bring on the Warriors! The Blazers got nothing to fear.

    23.7%

    I'm sure it was answered in the thread but I don't want to read through it all (and I didn't listen to the game, only had a chance to listen to some of the highlights), but where was Brian Wheeler?

    It's not semantics it's a fact. It's not a max contract.

    after all the talk about the genius of Doc Rivers, he sure took a damn long time to respond to CJ going nuclear in the 4th. He stayed with his base defense and didn't even change defensive assignments until CJ had aleady scored 18 points in the Q. Then he put Beverly on CJ and Beverly immediately fouled CJ on a three. You'd think a genius coach would have adjusted sooner

    If you say so. I've never seen him call people "sir" on Twitter as was done in several of those posts; doesn't seem likely that he'd reserve that mannerism for interacting with random message board peeps.

    And @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP doesn't have a clue what naysayers means. He thinks it means a talking horse.

    So we have a player averaging the following numbers since the all star break and is probably the most criticized Blazer player on this board.

    24ppg
    4.3 rpg
    3.5apg
    1.7 topg
    49% from the field
    40% from the 3

    I'd say those are some pretty awesome numbers.

    I actually think he has had a dunk or two during that stretch. If he didn't, then he should be relegated to the bench. :bgrin:

    Don't undersell him--he's actually shooting 46% from 3 since the all-star break.

    I could also point out, however, that while his overall production has taken an uptick, so has his inconsistency.

    There are a few different ways to calculate volatility of performance, and by any measure, his performance since the all-star break has been much more up-and-down than it had been prior. Even using the larger standard deviation generated by looking only at his post-all-star game-logs, his variances from the mean are huge in comparison.

    He's said it after quite a few games this year, but it always falls on deaf ears.
