Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 4: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - APRIL 21, 2019, SUNDAY, 6:30 PM , TNT & NBCSNW

Our coach disagrees with me so maybe tomorrow’s game IS important!!

“Certainly within a game there is momentum,” Portland Coach Terry Stotts said. “From game to game, I do believe there is … but I do believe it’s tenuous.

“Momentum can be tenuous either way. You go along and don’t know when you’re going to get a win and then you beat the best team in the league, that can change your fortunes. You can be on a win streak and then lose one -- you think you have momentum and then all of a sudden you lose one.
rtunes. You can be on a win streak and then lose one -- you think you have momentum and then all of a sudden you lose one.

 

J.A. Adande agrees with me in 2010:

“Momentum is a myth. It doesn't exist in the playoffs. For an example, look no further than Ray Allen's 3-point-shooting accuracy, which went from record-breaking in Game 2 to futile in Game 3. If there were such a thing as momentum, how could a man go from an all-time display of marksmanship to a complete inability to put the ball through the hoop in less than 48 hours?”

 

When was the last time they were even remotely close to being right on the Blazers regular season ?

 

If we had Nurk we would shit on this team so hard

 

Still avoided the context I tried to spell out for you

 

Who gives af what J.A. Adande thinks lmao.

You're arguing a small part of a post just to be a pest.

 

Ok, cool.

 

Driving during this game. With any luck at all i can be back in town to watch the end. Lets hope they can take care of business.

Go Blazers!
Kjironman is a fan!!!

 

If we don't give a fuck what Adande thinks, a man with decades of experience covering sports, why on earth should we give a fuck what you think? He knows far more about the history of the NBA that you do. He and I both do.

 

You misunderstood what I wrote.

 

Here's a controversial question for game 4....should we actually start Meyers and bring Enes off the bench...let Meyers get the early fouls?

 

Not a bad idea but I think we'll stick with the plan that won us 15 of our last 19 games.

 

fair enough but only the last two games has Enes had a gimpy shooting hand...game 3 he went to his left hand almost everytime

 

Well he says he's okay. We'll see what happens. I love Meyers though and won't complain about him playing. I feel like we need to get him more shots when he's out there though.

 

Great question! Why the fuck do you cling onto everything I say?

 

Yeah, because you never misunderstand others, or avoid context, or...

SIGH

 

Good point. I'm considering putting you on ignore. That would solve that. It would make this forum much more pleasant for me. You're the only guy I have a problem with.

 

You didnt answer my question.

Whatever would stop you from incessantly arguing every little thing I say.

 

I like Adande. He seems to be pretty solid.

 

great. done.
