    This unit has played literally 5.5 total minutes together this entire year. I'm not convinced that Stotts didn't go to this lineup due to anything besides foul trouble.

    But hey, appreciate the snark.

    Wait a minute? You say "one possession" but then say "Appreciate the snark"?
    Then completely blow your own assessment out of the water and prove they have been on the court over 5 minutes of actual play that could have easily been 10-20 minutes of watching a game?
    Time to back away from the keyboard. I absolutely was not being snarky. They group has been on the court more than one possession and i would bet we will see it more.
    If you want snark i can give you snark!

    When I said "one possession", I was referring to the game in question. Your ability to argue semantics rather than the point of the post (which is that Stotts has not given this group any sort of meaningful playing time) was not surprising, but I'll be sure to just ignore you the next time this happens.

    Yeah, and it's much more mature to post irrational shit that you're embarrassed to own up to later.

    It's a little ironic that the people who can't control their emotions in a game thread are the ones sensitive to people critiquing those comments after the game.

    Seriously i was not trying to be snarky and i really wasn't trying to argue at all. I also didn't really do any research. Why the tude? I just posted the picture to lighten the mood. Maybe even make you smile a bit.
    I have seen the lineup a few times. It seems to be working when the fouls permit them to use it.
    We are literally agreeing here?
    If you feel you want to ignore me or anyone else that is your prerogative.

    nba starts (east cost games) 1:00 am where i live, while blazers home games start usually at 4:00 am or 4:30 am (portland is 9 hours behind my hometown) and im kind of a night person, so i watch nba, given im a huge sports fan

    i like that regular season has 82 games, also, those best players are really exciting to watch, theyre much more skillful than players in europe, after all, best or talented players from europe go to the nba, not vice-versa, bad players from nba go to europe and a lot of them are best players on the european teams, like shane larkin at anadolu efes, which is one of the 5 best teams in europe... also, black athletes are athletically gifted, so theres a lot of exciting dunks etc

    there are things i dont like obviously, such as coaching, as i dont consider them to be coaches at all (there are exceptions obviously), i dont like fans, as they are casual and i like passionate fans and i hate all the crap during timeouts... and i hate when theres too much iso bball and unfortunately, thats the case with the blazers, the team that i love
