Game Thread GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ SPURS - OCTOBER 28, 2019 - MONDAY, 5:30 PM, NBCSNW

I just named two bigs as an example, but they were definitely getting away with a lot of contact in the paint, no matter which combination of SAS “bigs” you want to go with.

 

I realize my avatar represents the movie Road House, but please allow me to borrow a line from First Blood........"Let it go......"
I've stated my case, and moved on.
I suggest you do the same while I still have a shred of respect for you.
Going after me for an observation (which many echoed last night) days later is very unbecoming.

 

Huh? The only other big that played was Trey Lyles. They had a complete lack of size most of the game.

 

Gay plays in the paint a lot defensively too, it's not like you have to be a traditional center/power forward to play in the paint, or to hack guys but whatever lol.

 

This is some bullshit man. If you wanted to "let it go" then why post "careful..." along with several other posts in this thread jabbing at people?

You know damn well what you were doing so enough with your morality posts.

Once again, here you are doubling down on your double standard.

 

So Portland was scared to go into the paint because of the physical imposing nature of Rudy Gay and Trey Lyles?

 

Go back and read what I said, I said they were hesitant to go to the paint because they were getting fouled and not getting calls. Which is pretty typical SAS stuff, which I also said, I think the refs are scared of Pops, his team for years now gives up amongst the least of FTA's. Everything he argues for he eventually gets those calls too.
Did I say they were intimidated? Or scared? Why are you trying to twist it into that? Weve seen for years some teams, get reputations and are just allowed to do more defensively then others and in true circular form, teams start to play differently because they know they can't get those calls.

 

It's pretty rare to see ONE poster arguing with THREE others at the same time. Call me impressed.

 

No, a few minutes prior he was telling people to stop being critical and chill and all that when people were criticizing Tolliver and Stotts. I asked him why it's okay for him to say something like that when he was telling others to stop (ie the double standard)? He didn't like being called out on this and resorted to saying stuff like Bones is rubbing off on me. Then he tried to claim there is a difference between observation and criticism but then proceeded to keep jabbing those critical of Stotts and Tolliver while doubling down on his "observation."

 

Fully realizing I should take my own advice and "let it go.." one thing ...
"Lazy Whiteside tonight" was my comment.
I didn't invent the adjective. I've heard it for years..that's always been one of the knocks on Haasan's game..."sometimes you'll get active Whiteside, sometimes you'll get lazy Whiteside"...
Guess I made the mistake of assuming others were familiar with that narrative, which is why I consider it an observation, rather than a criticism.
I think anyone familiar with my posts/opinions should know I am not a person who criticizes.

 

Well starting this season makes me not miss unengaged lazy Mo Harkless for the first 20 games...he never came into a season with fire.....Bazemore has come into a season with fire...so has Hood...I like the change

 

It wasn't even from this game thread where it started and without the context of the correct game thread you kind of just wasted your time and didn't really address what actually happened.

 

Its like I got jumped!

 

Led by our self-annointed king!

 

Meh, if its an issue thats been a common theme over hundreds of games and seems to be getting worse, its frustrating.

But what makes these game threads go to shit is when people call other posters a "waste".
