@JimmyLemke @Dwayne72959390 @RealJasonKidd @NBA DEI script is essential for a man in his position this aint 2019

@Dwayne72959390 @RealJasonKidd @NBA He's not following a script, he personally knew the man and was friends with him.

This one hurts. Jason Collins was a pioneer. He had courage like you've never seen. He was an incredible teammate. And having him in Brooklyn at the start of my coaching journey meant so much. Those who knew him were blessed to call him a friend. You are already missed my brother. Rest in power. 💔

@billoram He’s laughing at you - not with you. Did you pick up on that.

When the aggregators can't pick up on hyperbole.

@ToreyJonesYT Giannis. It will be a championship. It’s all good man.

Gut feeling says there's a slightly greater than 50/50 chance the Blazers end up with one of Giannis, Kawhi, KD, or Anthony Davis on their roster this summer.

@Sam_Vecenie He’s in what, year 2?

Just finishing SAS-POR. Big issue for Portland is that Donovan Clingan has kind of been what people think of Rudy Gobert in the playoffs in this series. The offensive tradeoffs you give the other team by having him out there so far haven't been worth his defensive impact.

‘They bumped up their physicality and we weren’t ready for that’ - Avdija. That’s on coach.

@PinwheelEmpire Tisse wasn’t making shots that’s number 1. #2 even if he’s creating turnovers if the rest of the team can’t make shots either his value is nil. We needed offense more basically.

Splitter giving minutes to Murray instead of Sidy or Tisse is baffling to me😭 #Ripcity

@keithewarner I emailed him regarding a piece he wrote about Deni a month or so ago. He claimed Deni personally told him he was ‘fearful’ of living in Israel. When I confronted him with providing proof of that he said he made it up. True story. He made up a story about Deni and published it.

Any chance Dundon can replace Oram with the summer house cleaning too?

@PoetAndrews And a year of free streaming on Hulu

Hopefully Joe Cronin out the door with Tiago and Chauncey. Let's not forget him. Please clean house Dundon. No wonder he was being so cheap. Should offer Tiago a 4 y $88 dollars a year, plus a 25 dollar gift card at a restaurant of his choosing.

@pnwtan @trailblazers We haven’t won in almost 50 years but ok bud

@trailblazers Tom dundon thanks for killing Ripcity

Final.

@doveshow He’s probably walking through the Moda Center asking Joe and Mike Schmitz why they agreed to pay Jermai Grant a billion dollars and took a flyer on a high school kid who declined playing for Kentucky and then signed him to an extension.

@bb3065 @hoopsjock He took over a middling Hurricanes franchise in 2018 and turned it into one of the NHL’s most consistent winners: 7 straight playoff trips & multiple conference finals. He definitely has a plan for his $4.5 billion investment.

@hoopsjock I hope Dundon realizes how unacceptable this is. This team is not that far away. Runs happen like this in the playoffs. Good coaches are able to readjust and quail them. Tiago has no clue.

Couldn't play any worse this 2nd half, absolutely disgusting basketball.

@Dame__Carrying OKC probably

Which fanbase we joining for the rest of the playoffs

@RipCitySquid @brasilblazers It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Dundon systematically cleans house over the summer

@brasilblazers Was a report Dundon was also talking to potential Gm's

Things to look forward too Tiago - Gone Jerami - Gone Shaedon - Gone Cronin - Might be Gone too Scoot - Smaller Role Toumani - Smaller offensive Role

Sharpe is just an absolute turnstile. Scoot wasn't able to hit shots so Splitter giving Sharpe more run, but it's just an automatic bucket with any Spur who can do anything against Shaedon. Probably gotta just trust Scoot.

@blazers_palace Show me a coach who makes shots

I don’t wanna see Splitter back next season at all. He is NOT ready.

@jpsperspective Go check out his series +/- since you’re a casual

Does Splitter know Sharpe is on the team? For a team that can’t make a shot or create one on their own, it’s crazy that Sharpe is just sitting on the bench.

@AdamPDXSports @PinwheelEmpire @NBA We weren’t supposed to even be here remember

No team in @nba history is AS good as giving up a 20 pt lead as THESE Blazers! Just absurd how they just fall in love with complacency (& ill-advised 3’s) #NBAPlayoffs

@ToreyJonesYT Yes because they have no release valves that can hit threes

The Blazers don't do anything to shift defenses. They attack a set defense constantly so the help is always in line with the kickout pass. That's why they drive, get swarmed, but have no obvious passes to open options so often. Their idea of flipping sides of the floor is to give it to the big at the top of the arc and DHO, and when defenses ramp up the pressure and deny it, Portland's offense is completely screwed and they have to catch the ball 30ft away.

@ChadinRipCity How can they keep Jerami after this series???

Yes. And Toumani can't be a reluctant shooter.
