    I totally agree with this. Glad we didn't get the mavs. That would be embarrassing to lose big to them.

    Washington and Miami had long rests and they dominated their Game 1s. I think rest is best. Stay fresh. Chance to recover from nagging injuries. That's why we need to finish off the Spurs in 5 games.

    He didn't say he was glad we didn't get the Mavs. And we would've routed the Mavs in Game 1 if we faced them.

    He didn't say that Zags said that. He said he agreed with what Zags said, and then he said he was glad that we didn't get the Mavs because it would have been even worse to get blown out by Dallas.

    Robin Lopez is getting his ass schooled by Tiago Splitter. Tiago Splitter is offensively schooling Lopez. This guy has been nothing but a hack since we've got him, an incredibly underwhelming off season pick up before a post season that we ACTUALLY needed some additional firepower other than our main dudes. Blazers lose in 5 because of this guy's pure ineptitude.

    Playoffs, and this dude wants to talk about salaries. Doesn't matter how much any player's being paid now, as long the team is getting the Ws.
    Lopez is on 4mil, you'd expect him to positively contribute to the team in some sort of substantial fashion.
    Splitter was MVP for the Spurs through the first series. He's a soft bitch non-hustler who's out hustling a guy whose career is predicated on hustle. Poor form.

    I know you're a troll, but just to put a lid on your silly arguments.

    During the season:

    Rolo - 11 ppg, 8.5 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 17.68 PER
    Splitter - 8.2 ppg, 6.2 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 16.58 PER

    Rolo against Houston - 9.7 points, 2.7 blocks, 8.7 rebounds on 51% shooting against Dwight Howard.

    Splitter against Dallas - 10.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 0.1 blocks, 62% shooting against Samuel Dalembert.

    Tuesday:

    Rolo - 10 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks 40% shooting
    Splitter - 5 points, 5 rebounds, 0 blocks 33% shooting

    Lopez makes $5,119,761
    Splitter makes $10,000,000

    I think you're a little salty about how much you're paying this scrub.

    If you read my first post, that was pretty much my point. Splitter is walking all over Lopez and shouldn't be. Get this bitch to hustle and exert some energy or get him out the game.

    Intangibles? Is that your final answer?

    Yo you watch the rest of the series and watch Lopez's declining contributions to his team while Splitter's rises, and then at the end look at who helped more. If I am wrong I'll be here to own it.
    Lopez cannot be a consistent contributor of any substance in a long playoff run.

    Considering he just got done playing against the best center in the league, you guys are like a vacation. I think he'll be fine.

    I get it man, you're salty that you had to pay this guy big money and he's only a role player. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have to give Lopez a similar contract in a year or so and then we can be salty together.

    Small sample size. Pretty much the whole team sucked in game 1. Lopez will be fine.

    Did you look at the stats? Splitter didn't walk all over anyone in that game.

    No they don't, and I'm fully aware that this guy is a troll, but I still find it fun to take a stupid argument like that and smash it.
