Game Thread GAME# 46: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - MARCH 28, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:00, NBCSNW

That is tremendous and a tribute to Dame who has been historically clutch.

However, way to many of those clutch wins have come against teams that we shouldn't be in that close of a game with in the first place. Eeking out wins against quite an easy schedule so far gives me concern about what happenes when they play the better teams.

 

We can do this all day.

 

You win. I can't find a "You've got a stick up your ass" award.

 

Feel free to point out one thing in the supposed 'wet blanket' post that wasn't true. Easy to find. It's the post that starts off with, "That is tremendous and a tribute to Dame who has been historically clutch."

 

Holy shit!!!! I just noticed that the Blazers have a record of 28-18 to this point in the season. Who knew????? Who effing knew????

 

wait a minute...I can't even get an honorable mention on Award Monday?

 

I got you a trophy instead:

 

Well the only SGs in the entire NBA who have a higher PER than CJ are Harden and Beal. You underrate CJ greatly because you watch him a lot and take him for granted. How many people on your list can do what CJ did on the road in a Game 7? He did it again vs Toronto just last night! CJ is clearly better than Booker, PG13, Mitchell, and Murray. Obviously, he’s not as good as LeBron or AD but we can’t trade CJ for him so what are you asking? Dame/CJ IS the best backcourt in the league and the Pistons have won titles with two similar backcourts though I’d argue ours is better than both. With Aminu/Harkless and an injured Kanter (with Nurk out altogether), we reached WCF. Olshey’s current roster is better than that one and Nurk is healthy. If we have to play Lakers in first round with or without homecourt this year, that is unfortunate. But we can beat the other teams and maybe get lucky in a WCF vs Lakers.

 

But we're last in defense. I would much rather have the 30th best record and 9th best defense, than the other way around!

 

Pretty much everyone on the planet knows EVERYTHING before "However" "But", "Nevertheless", "Even So", "yet" is pretty much bullshit.

 

this Monday was a good day, however, tomorrow is Tuesday, but yesterday was Sunday. Nonetheless, Wednesday will follow tomorrow. Even so, that's only 4 days of the week, yet we all know three more days follow Wednesday before the week is over

no bullshit zone

 

Exactly. Another Monday was good BUT the week could still suck post. Thus "Wet Blanket". By the way the weather looks pretty good for Wednesday as well as the Blazers chances to get another road win. I wonder if it will be another bad win on the road because the team they are playing doesn't have a winning record? Looking forward to both Wednesday and Friday.
You see how that works without the Buts and however's?
