Game Thread GAME# 65: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - MARCH 7, 2019 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

Russ is averaging a triple double again, and his team is winning he’s looking ok to me...
I watch the games too and while I think Dame is the better player I dont think that game proved anything.
You do and thats fine, but I dont think were gonna see eye to on that. I think we will see eye to eye that we both really like and appreciate Dame.

 

I have said this many many times. We all have a common bond here. Being fans of the Blazers. It is the foundation of respect for others' opinions in this place if we just keep that in mind.

 

Ummm excuse me... Do I need to dunk over you again?

 

Now that was funny. Thinking something doesn't make it true though. Remember we saw the 3 on 3 videos.

 

He is and he's still a great player. But it is telling that he averages a triple-double while only putting up a 20.7 PER. He also pads he stats like nobody else.

Yup, we can agree on that!

 

I agree he’s a stat padder. I thought Dame and him both played pretty well on Thursday. The 1st quarter I actually thought WB was dominating Dame. Then Dame out played him most of the rest of the way. I think this years WB is in some ways better than the last couple years. Mostly because he seems alright letting PG do his thing.

Anyways Dame really looked good and has been very good this year.

 

Paul George cracks me up. Here is a quote from him after last nights game against the clippers. "It's just bad officiating," George said. "I'm sorry, just bad officiating. We don't get a fair whistle. We haven't gotten a fair whistle all year." Maybe he forgets the 20 FT's he shot the previous night. Maybe he forgets the high elbow he through into Nurks grill the night before.

 

WB has another go to option who is a much better shooter than he is. WB should be averaging 15/15/8 & PG should be well over 30PPG average.

 

He really said that after the previous nights game against us? LMAO. There IS truth to the fact that the players can just move onto the next game as if "what have you done for me lately" and its all about the now.

Hilarious!

 

Yeah, they both had great games. Russ shot well and he's still really tough to stop. He has done a much better job of deferring to PG which is why they are doing so well. Damn, imagine we had Paul George... we'd be competing for a title.

 

I think we had something to do with OKC losing to the Clips last night so I don’t feel too bad.

 

I won't try to speak for anybody else, but I have 2 issues.

1) There are times I feel like people are telling me to "eat your shite sandwich and be grateful for it!" Don't question my fandom just because I want the team to get better.
2) There is a profound difference between debate/discussion and just being a contrarian. Just because you don't like or generally agree with another poster you don't need to contradict everything they say!

 

Words only mean something if you live by them. Do you think you have been?

 

Absolutely. I treat people in kind.
Be a dick, be treated like a dick.
Treat people with respect and you always have mine.

 

Well, my experiences show differently as you have started things with me with no provoking from me.

 

Fuck dogs. Cats rule. Even @SlyPokerCat

 

Your recollection is somewhat distorted. But the past is the past and i wake up each day knowing its a new day.

Its the reason i am able to try to have mature conversations with you. Or try to start out as such, as evidenced by this thread convo alone.

If you dont see that and how you take good conversations and derail/stink them up, then thats on you.
Im not perfect but i admit my faults and poor actions. You dont.

End of story.
