Game Thread GAME# 52: PISTONS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 10, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

Hey....a crappy team. A game we will win.

 

And winning all 3 of these games will mean nothing except allow Stotts to continue to defend his lousy gameplan in the postgame presser.

 

That's a very nasty poll, Darkwebs; you should probably be ashamed of yourself.

 

its fucking depressing bro

 

Wonder how many minutes before I’m screaming for RHJ

 

We're going to win this game, and our shit players are going to pad their season stats against shit teams, even though they are literally unplayable against any sort of playoff competition.

 

Let's get back on track with a winnable game!

 

nurk is 7/20 (35%) on 3-pointers this season

hes definitely becoming competent three point shooter

 

He's been on a roll lately. Did get a gander at that "Which LA team will win the Ship" poll.
@SlyPokerDog needs to get in here and fix this quick!

I have been so good lately not using expletives when i type. I'm proud of myself for this post!

 

Stotts made mention of him and that he would most likely be available. He even said he will start playing him to see where he fits best.

 

He even added "Melo" to status quo. I mean who can stay mellow with Melo right now?

 

Oh look, another garbage team. It’s a Win!!!

 

Blazers get to pick on somebody their own size

and that poll should be drowned in a barrel...then the poller stuffed in that barrel...and the barrel kick out of an airplane at 20K feet

 

Honestly I think with a first round exit, which is the most likely thing we see, that neither of those poll question options is the outcome. If we go out in the first round again then I would be shocked if at least we didn't see Stotts fired. Obviously, I want a fresh start (that doesn't mean everyone traded or anything) just a new GM who decides all of the rest of the particulars. I definitely don't want Dame traded and don't think he will be.

I do want him traded and think he will be if he demands a trade because of moves that make sense for the franchise but that would both sadden and surprise me.

As far as the game, I think we get another win but it won't change the way any of us or Dame looks at this team. We can beat bad teams but not good ones, which means we're not one of the good ones.

 

It may mean we move to 5 seed. Lakers play Nets, Knicks, and Hornets.

We’d be 33-21

if Lakers lose 2 of 3, they are 33-32

keep climbing the standings

falling into play-in would suck; falling out of play-in won’t happen. We have 8 game lead and the tiebreaker over Pels.

 

In My Humble Opinion.
This team needs to keep working and keep trying to find a way to win games.
They need to gel up and get some confidence again.
I know this team can play better. They have about another month to get things working. It's too late at this point to tank so get to work Blazers!
