What a game. 17 to five run for the Blazers to be in the playoffs! The refs tried to take the game: they lost! Advila a 40 burger....on to face the Spurs as the seven seed. Finally. New owner Tom Dundon and Dame coming back.

I know you are as big of a Blazers fan as I am. Let me ask you a question, my buddy and I discussed this for quite a while last night.

1) Does Splitter deserve another year ?
2) whats Dames role next year?
3) Who do we let go from this current group
4) Yang Hansen? Complete bust or too soon to tell?

Cheers brotha and goooo Blazers

There are now two of us! 🐈

1.The roster fluctuated with injuries.
2. Do we really know what we have?

Cling Kong should play regular starter minutes. He is the high upside center. The Time Lord should get the remaining minutes. Robert is fragile but a great talent. Yang should stay in the G league for a larg amount of time lest we get a decent offer for him. Most importantly Regular intervals bring rhythm and skills to the forefront.

Denji Avila is the newest star to grace the Blazers. Great all around game. Love his drives to the basket. He pairs really well Jrue.The two are game facilitators. Yet how many days were they injured? Availability needs to be achieved.

We have developing guys that are coming into their own defensively.
We have some very athletic guards developing. With that Dame is coming back.

A coach controls substitutions. I would like to see better time out management. Time outs stop momentum and give coaches chance to work to stop defensive lapses

Rick Aldeman; you want the 5 best players on the floor. At the same time identifying the Hot shooter so you can ride him. The poor shooter so you can sit him.

Splitter is better than we had. I think identifying our own strengths is better than overthinking matchup basket ball. Regular minutes and rythems make players. Like Dundon said we need to strengthen professionalism and get consistency. Vets do that.

I would get rid of Grant. Contract is huge. Not playing to his contract. Scoot cannot shoot 39% on most nights.

That's what I got for the moment.

Peacock tonight. Offense looks bad. Maybe they come alive who knows. Luv Reggie. Blazer shoot the three better and they are in this. Not really getting a Shaq, Jordan tupe dominance from Wemby. Tiago needs to work some magic to get his guys in the paint.

Yep not a good game, team shot really cold, defense was a step slow all night. Wemby was unstoppable and the Spurs are showing signs of a nice long dynasty. We made a run and got it to 2 but than the wheels fell off again. We need a perfect game to steal one. I wonder how long Deni can play that bruising style, his body is going to fail sooner than later.

Might steal a game....27 to 10 run to finish. How long does a concussion sideline an NBA player? Now when the Blazers go home maybe the confidence and offense

Yeah that was a quarter century+ after Lenny Wilkens' time in Portland & Seattle and the PNW drug year domination in 78/79.
There's a reason that a lot of old guys won't tune in to watch a 48 minute 3 point contest filled with no defense, traveling and fundamentals replaced with ridiculous showmanship.

Just watch old YouTube playoff games of Celtics vs Lakers, Bulls vs Pistons, Sonics vs Jazz.

I watched the game last night, Blazer v. Spurs....I don't follow NBA closely but the Spurs may see OKC if things are predictable (which they may not be).

Wemby, Castle, Fox and the team.

Blazers looking at Anthony Davis and Antetokounmpo. Owner willing to go into the luxury tax . Blazers have many future 1sts from trades and players to offload it is a new era. At least these kinda names are now being bantered about.

STAN Van Gundy? I guess that's a famous name for head coach. Had his time with the Knicks and Rockets 20 years ago.

What about his talking about Jeff Van Gundy - that's an incomplete sentence.

Cool about Blazers. What sport do they play?

It's for effect. We violate the rules for more interesting writing. I don't know what the rest of that means. Probably something your teaching me.. This thread was intended to be about the Blazers. I changed the title. You were adding something to it? There is a new I5 rivalry brewing and the Sonics are likely coming back. Now how exciting is that? Maybe the Jail Blazer stuff can be viewed as sophomoric and we can move on.

Back in the day Van Gundy was relevant but it's a different nba. Probably, he would be worlds better than some recent coaches with control being one of his best features or pitfalls.
