Game Thread GAME# 36: SUNS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 11, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

yeah! Make it happen and get back to me!

you are hereby now known as Deborah Downer until they return!

 

Debbie Does Downers....


I know what you thought that was gonna say.

 

Nurk said yesterday that if he's not back by after all-star break, it will be just a few days after all-star break.

So his return seems imminent.

Also, what the hell is going on with Harry? He's been out for weeks with a calf strain and we've heard zero updates.

 

im just not sure if that would be an addicted to sex or addicted to drugs video.

 

We'll get killed this game.

 

We have been through this before!!!!
...*hands Tlong the bar of soap*...

 

Was there a practice today? Is CJ playing tmrw?

 

Giles is made out of glass I guess.

 

I'm sorry, I'd convinced myself CJ would be playing tomorrow and I really don't want to be disappointed - they should rethink this.

 

First of all, you’re thinking of 2000. In 1999, we got swept by Spurs. Second of all, CJ is better than Trent at everything. I don’t understand why people that think CJ is selfish would rather have Trent. Trent never passes! He only thinks shoot and he’s not as good at it as CJ. Rebounding, shooting percentages, passing, ball handling, defense— CJ is better at all of this. So not only are we getting a HUGE upgrade at starting SG, we are sending Trent to the second unit where he will strengthen our bench, the role he is most suited for. Next season, some idiot team will give him $80 million and they will be sorely disappointed.

 

Nurk said days “or within a week or two.”

 

Here’s a question for y’all: if you’re the Suns GM and Minnesota offers you Towns for Ayton, do you make the deal?

 

Keep living the dream. I bet Olshey and Stotts wish every Blazers fan was just like you.

CJ is the second best basketball player on this team, I don't think that is debatable. I just hope we are healthy so we can see what this roster can do together vs what we've done without CJ and Nurk.

For the record I don't put my trust in anyone for my opinions. I try to read everything I can, listen to as many experts (in this case former and current players, coaches and execs) as possible and observe (in this case that means watching the games). That's how I form my opinions.

 

I would not. I think Ayton will be better and in the long run will be a big part of that team. I know his numbers are down this year but i think that is more due to the type of team game they are playing this year and personnel around him.

 

These guys have won 13 of last 15 and blowing opponents out. They if healthy are as good as Utah now, imo and a lot more dangerous.

 

They will not blow the Blazers out! The Blazers have not just one but TWO Dunk Contest Winners. They can't guard us!

 

They may not be able to guard our high flyers going to the rim....but they don't have to. Our lobs to the most athletic players on the court are so poor, that they have little chance of taking advantage of their rarified air.

 

Just Win Baby!
