Game Thread GAME# 31: SPURS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 20, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Yup. Just like your family that hosts you for the holidays.

 

Aminu was driving aldridge crazy; it was really funny to watch . . .

 

I like Collins potencial, but we could have drafted also these guys:

 

Things we could really learn from the Spurs: proper ball movement and how to fast break.

 

I thought Olsheys speciality was drafting? Oh well.

 

Loool

 

Im very uncomfortable with this Lillard injury. It doesn't feel good. I hope he's ok...

 

Yeah. He's getting manhandled. Hope he's alright tonight. I love the dude so much. He's literally the whole franchise.

 

Hahahahaha

 

This team is stuck in a different era. That's the problem. GS basically gave this league the blue print as to where it was headed, and most teams adjusted to a standard.

Except Portland.

We're still stuck in old, slow, traditional iso basketball. And that's not where the league is anymore. It has changed so much in the past 5 to 6 years, and the Blazers organization never adjusted to it.

That's the problem. And I see no end to it any time soon, unless Allen gets serious, cleans house, and brings in some proper people like GS did, who can build this team in such a way as to compete with the big teams. And one which is in with the current times of how basketball is played today, instead of 10 years ago.

I don't get it. Allen built a monster team in Seattle with the Seahawks, and as much as I hate that team, I have to give that FO credit where due: they've been contenders almost every year since Wilson was drafted. Allen also found the right GM in John Schneider, who put the proper DC in place, and drafted an amazing Defense. Schneider also manages to find gold in the draft almost year after year.

....why not Portland? Why is Allen lagging on his basketball team? What the hell is wrong with him? He sits on the sidelines almost every home game....surely he HAS to see what's wrong here.

I don't get it. I don't understand how you can be so successful with one sports team, yet be an absolute failure with another. I don't get that.

I understand they're two different sports, but if you built such a dominate football team, how can you fail at building a dominate basketball team? What the fuck?

Fix this shit, Paul! You're wasting Dame!

 

Wow. People are "taking time off from the Blazers" huh? Such great fans. Thru thick and thin huh?

 

Well I didn't watch the game but *insert opinion here*

 

I was in California for 4 days this past weekend, spending time with my father and our local 49er Faithful fanclub. It was my first trip anywhere outside of Vancouver in 4 years. I was able to watch the Blazers take on Orlando, but our schedule didn't provide me the time to watch any other games, and I didn't have a computer or tablet that I could use to log on to the forum.

Tonight I helped my mother, who volunteers at our local humane society in the Cattery section, and who volunteers as a foster mom for kittens. Our Humane Society has an annual holiday party where they help animals from those families who are less fortunate by providing them with free medical screenings and basic care. While she was attending to that, I was taking her usual place by helping in the Cattery; cleaning cages and feeding the cats.

Is that okay with you? I mean, you know....I don't ultimately CARE about your opinion of when I do or don't watch a basketball game.....but you obviously seem offended by my lack of presence as of late. I'm sure you're QUITE BUSY yourself doing.....whatever it is that you do.

 

I think he is actually throwing shade at Kingspeed, because that is his MO.

 

Yes he is. Horrible defender, average 3pt shooter, no mid-range game, can't dribble, no length, can't finish... he's awful and shouldn't even be in the league.

 

Lmfao. His team has the brightest future in the league. We're a .500 team with no future. Big difference.
