Game Thread GAME# 64: BLAZERS VS CELTICS - MAY 2, 2021 - SUNDAY, 4:30, NBATV & NBCSNW

Any chance wheeler loses a bunch of weight and comes back

 

Mavs down 13 in the 4th

 

They are 34-31 so no.

 

Great win. Totally pointless, of course, but great.

 

I think they are better than that too.

 

Kings sweeping Mavs this year 3-0 if they hold on. Without fox beating lakers and clippers

 

Mavs might go down!

 

After the most upsetting stretch of the year, we play our best basketball in the Dame/CJ era.

 

Mavs always down then Luka Magic happens

 

What happened to Aldotrapani... allergic to winning streaks?

 

They might not make playoffs. Sucks to Boston fan. THREE conference finals appearances in 4 years and couldn’t break thru. Now they may lose in play-in. I hope Brown is ok.

 

Fantastic win. Beat a great team on the road, pulling away at the end despite four horrendous officiating calls.

One other thing: The Blazers are so much better when they run. I always hated that they were so content to be a halfcourt team. When you have this many potent offensive players, why wouldn't you want to get them shots when the defense was outnumbered or at least out of position? It's not like we were stopping anyone anyway, so take some chances defensively and see if you can get some fastbreaks.

I thought this team was dead after all the close losses. They look like they've been reborn.

 

One gets the feeling they're going to let him get abused until he demands a trade to a big market. At that point, they'll protect him the way they do guys like Curry.

 

The Blazers with an impressive victory over the Celtics tonight and they have now won 4 games in a row! Join the Blazers Uprise Postgame Show to discuss what has led to their turnaround.

 

Huge win. Need Sac to hold on so we get some breathing room if we drop one tmrw.

 

really good win for the Blazers. No hint of an asterisk like the last 3

Dame had a couple straight hero-ball possessions down the stretch that weren't smart, but were irritating, other than that a strong game for him considering how he was playing a week ago. And he was robbed on both ends of the floor on charges

somebody mentioned they thought CJ was freezing out Powell some from the offense. Kind of looked like it a couple of times, but I'd be surprised if CJ was that petty

I really can't stand the Kent/Hurd combo. Toxic to my ears

officials had a bad game

 

They need Stotts as coach!

 

What’s the asterisk for the Memphis game? They had beaten us with injuries and then they were fully healthy at home and we destroyed them. It wasn’t close.

 

It’s true.

 

I hope so they are my fav team in the east. I doubt they miss the playoffs. We could as easily as them.
