Game Thread GAME# 68: SPURS @ BLAZERS - MAY 8, 2021 - SATURDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

Our team better bring it with everything they have. If they don't win all of the winnable games they have left, we'll find ourselves in the play-in against a surging Warriors squad who we might lose to and then a game against this team or a Memphis team we've had mixed results against.

As far as the poll question goes I answered getting to the WCF but as I've said all season we need to win at least one game in WCF and then Neil and Terry have shown that they're getting us closer. That's all it would take for me. I think we'll lose badly in the first round or still possibly lose in the play-ins but most likely a first round exit that should result in Neil and Terry being dismissed but it seems like Terry will be the whipping boy and we'll have to endure Neil a little longer.

 

tempting, but still... fire terry stotts!

 

With the way we playing now winning 6 out 7 games I move my percentage up to 20 percent that's Stotts will be retain. But do that he can't reign in his better players on there play and have a offense that's have more balanced the way they play. 3 ball after 3 ball like last night almost cost us. This team can run a good offense they have show it and can effect to do it and good clean shots from different area of the court. But what's not good when you have one your guards dribble the ball length of the shot clock and host up difficult shot. Stotts job to rein that in especially in the timeouts. To many times I hear coaches gives motivation speech to there players instead of telling them why hell did I call a timeout and just Stotts it's a lot of coaches out there at this level.

 

Cannot look past this game. This is just as important as the Lakers last night.
Go get this win Blazers!

 

Need major contributions from the bench tonite. 20+ from Melo and Ant, EACH. Get Nas and DJJ and RHJ in there too. Nurk and Roco need some R and R.

 

I agree. Need to play deeper than 8 man right now.

 

Don't undo the good of last night by coughing up this one. The talent discrepancy is huge in our favor. Win this!

 

i cant understand why this team wants 6th seed, theyre gonna play la clippers

they should aim play-in and if they win first game, they face suns, if they lose first game and win second game, they face jazz

its worth risking the playoffs for a chance to play "easier" opponent, theres literally no fucking way they beat la clippers, if anything, theyre destined to lose 4-o or 4-1

 

Let’s get another one. Our bench need to play well tonight

 

We should wear last nights jerseys, that will confuse em.

 

I need a blazers win


I also need a big game by Lillard and Dejounte, and so so games for Covington (statistically) and Poetl to help me win a fantasy ball ship

 

I agree about playing the Clippers. But we could still just as easily end up 7th or 5th. They just need to keep playing well and hope Dallas slips against some bad teams.

Tonight's game seems like it could be a "trap" game. Hopefully, they bring the same intensity against the Spurs but I have my doubts they will.

 

Melo out, More Nassir and DJJ tonight… Let’s Go!

 

Dame to the Lakers, all but a done deal!
