Game Thread: Spurs vs. Blazers (GUESTS) — FRI. 4/1/2022 — 7:30pm CST

[Dex]

Big game tonight, and we have no game thread? You're killin' me, Smalls!

Spurs are currently in the 10th spot and fighting for their play-in lives.

Meanwhile, the Lakers are on the 2nd half of a B2B against New Orleans who...just happens to also be trying to knock them out of the play-in.

Let's get one, cheer for the Pelicans, and send LeBron packing in 2022.

[Degoat]

Eubanks got a tribute lol

[Ocotillo]

DJ late scratch

[Robz4000]

Spurs gonna lose and cement their spot in the lottery. Calling it now.

[slick'81]

Drew ewwbanks getting his revenge.blazers have no chance in hell

[Rito3d30]

will this be Primo's breakout game

[BatManu20]

Primo :wow

[SPURt]

Primo really flicks my bean when he does stuff like that

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wait until Primo is actually lifting weights and working out with the best trainers in the world for 2 years. This kids is going to blow up imo. Kid just turned 19 I doubt he gets taller but he will get stronger that's a fact.

[Dex]

Spurs started off crappy, but finding a rhythm with the bench.

The more I watch Richardson play, the more I want him to stick around.

Vassell also with a good start, and that Primo dunk was :wow

[slick'81]

This blazers squad is a complete joke. Even without murray sours should cruise to a W

[emanueldavidginobili]

Cool interview with Michelle, dude watches 4 games at the same time if he isn't playing that night.

[Rito3d30]

Wow Michelle was flexing the Rollie

[BatManu20]

This blazers squad is a complete joke. Even without murray sours should cruise to a W

Yea pretty pathetic the way the Blazers are so blatantly tanking by playing dudes they found at the local rec league, but it might work out for them. Time will tell. Spurs should easily win this regardless.

[BatManu20]

Lonnie goddamn :wow

[Dex]

[slick'81]

Lonnie playing for the contract and feasting on the g league squad

[slick'81]

Vassell is coming along. Looking forward to seeing him get stronger and wreck next season

[spurs1990]

If you play the blazers in a basketball game and you win, does it really happen

[slick'81]

Welp, it was a good game while it lasted

[slick'81]

If you play the blazers in a basketball game and you win, does it really happen


wins a win, i guess

I feel like he is going to meake a Dejountesque leap next year. He has become a lot more decisive on offense than he was starting the season.

[lefty20]

DJ who?


I kid, i kid.

[slick'81]

Hope blazers enjoy that draft choice

[emanueldavidginobili]

It will be a mistake to let Lonnie go, he does thing that not a soul can do on this team. Unfortunately some team is going to offer him a bag.

[Dejounte]

For all the shit I give Lonnie, you can’t teach all this aerial shit that he does

[Rocalcio]

Lonnie is so smooth… He had 3 buckets tonight and all 3 could be in a top 10.

[slick'81]

Tre jones is money when murray sits. I have to admit that the more i see ,the more i like

[Mr. Body]

Tre jones is money when murray sits. I have to admit that the more i see ,the more i like

I totally believe in Jones. He's still growing into his game but is already smart and under control.

[Dex]

Hope blazers enjoy that draft choice

Based on their history, they'll probably make the wrong choice.

Maybe it will fall to us. :hungry:

[PhantomDashCam]

I mean Dame has to ask out this summer doesn’t he? There is no way you can put a competitive team around him with parts of this mess. Who are your keepers? They should try and sell hard and load up on lotto picks for Wembanyama next year…

[Thomas82]

The Blazers want no parts of winning another game this season.

how many of the blazers players active today would you even want at the bottom of the spurs roster?

:lol

[Dex]

Another crazy shot by Walker.

We need to keep him around just for entertainment value.

Guy has some Manu in him.

[Leetonidas]

Lonnie has made some pretty impressive layups tonight

[BatManu20]

Lonnie tonight :wow. These scrubs for Portland making us look like an All-Star team tbh.

[cd98]

Pop with April Fools joke. Sits DJM to look like a tank and then blows out Blazers by 20.

[PhantomDashCam]

Give Keon Johnson credit. Kid was considered a lottery pick for most of last year, dropped because of concerns of his height/shot.
Already been traded.

His shot has looked silky tonight. May have a nice bump in production next year. Was considered one of the strongest workers in the entire draft.

[spurs1990]

The four teams playing in New Orleans tomorrow could stay within 10 points of this Portland team tbh

[XDT76]

We are quite poor and got outscored by this tanking Portland in the second half.

We won by 19 and played the end of our bench for the entire 4th quarter :lol

Maybe you should back off the cliff

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

lol lecramp had me for 1.5 seconds too

[poopbox]

I see you guys like the Lonnie show. You need to savor it cause I would be surprised if its performing in San Antonio next year.

[Barfunk]

Go Pelicans. I don't want to have to see the Lakers get 30-4th quarter free throws if we end up in the play-in against them.

[SPURt]

You can take your poopy forecast and stick IN A BOX because your gonna cause Kawhi-seizures en masse

[GAustex]

Portland is terrible and that was a sad spectacle for the NBA

[DAF86]

We were a blown layup away from winning 6 straight, rigth?

[GAustex]

NBA would be better served if the bottom teams were relegated like the English Futbol league. It would take some doing but the product would be better. I suppose the draft thing would be hard to work out

[GAustex]

Why even play that game-it was a farce

[offset formation]

Portland is terrible and that was a sad spectacle for the NBA

And yet we forfeited 111 pts. Our defense is why we're 13 games under .500

Btw...is a 3 page game thread a new record?

[siraulo23]

wtf are the spurs actually gonna make the play in :lol

[XDT76]

We won by 19 and played the end of our bench for the entire 4th quarter :lol

We were out scored by 8 in 3Q where we were playing majority of our main core. Our end of bench ironically were out score by only 1 in 4Q.

There is nothing about on the edge, did you see me calling them bad when they lose to Memphis

[wildbill2u]

It's all good. We won. Lots of players got some burn instead of splinters in the butts from the bench. Blow outs give everybody a chance to strut their stuff without fear of being pulled permanently over one dumb play. (Pop pulled Keldon and Lonnie a couple of times, but after giving them some tough love put them back in.)

Exactly. A clear W, and the two guys with the most minutes were Primo and Jones. Also, the team won 5 out of the last 6 and was one layup away from a six game winning streak. Also, the Spurs are with basically a two game lead on the 10th seed. The young guys are playing and winning - to them - meaningful games. This is basically better than anything since the 2nd quarter of R1G2 in Denver.

[Slippy]

Portland d was always a step slow . They lacked an interior presence bigtime.

Spurs took advantage by hittng their threes and taking it to the rack for some highlight reel dunks.

Oh Herro American Joe which way to hamburger hot dog stand?
