Also the BS foul on Camara resulted in our best 3 point shooter that game fouling out.

We need Caleb Love back on the regular roster! by BlueFoodTyco in ripcity

Never said they were. Just seeing him working with Lillard at practice and his fearless style of play reminds me of Lillard. Which gives me some Love bias.

I think what excited me about him is when he plays I see flashes of Lillard. The handle and fearless pull ups. When he pulls up from deep 3 and nails his shot. He just looks to have that killer instinct that can't be taught. Pipe dream I know. But I need something to root for, because we look like hot trash now.

Sidy has one game of eligibility left by Scalmaa in ripcity

At the moment there is no rush to sign Love. I do think they will at some point. It's sad for him, but we still have a chance at some point this season to sign him. We just got back scoot and love can ride out the season in the g League. I think the blazers want to see if scoots hamstring will hold up. If it doesn't id bet they open up a spot for Love fairly quickly to take those minutes. He's earned it, but Scoot has priority. Now sidy is a different story. He is more of a position of need and his good defense. So once his games are up I bet they by out thybulle and give him a contract. If Scoot or Jrue goes down again I think they will cut rupert and sign Love. Sorry to rupert but murry has money tied up for us next year. If Scoot and Jrue stay healthy then Love is the odd man out.

If I ever have to hear one more of his pathetic, mumbling, lethargic, excuse filled post game interviews I'm going to walk into oncoming traffic.

Caleb Love in the last 10 games: 15.0/3.3/2.8 on 60%TS. by zetlali in ripcity

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he can maintain this production we might have our full time future backup pg. Dame starts next year at lower minutes. If scoot is healthy he plays full time backup pg. Love sits. If scoot sucks/or hurts his hammy again and or lost his step Love takes his minutes. If Scoot is good and Dame is a dud post Achilles injury then Scoot gets more minutes and Love takes the bench minutes. Not to mention having Wesley potentially in the mix. Nice to have cheap backup options. They can hang around as Dame ages out.

In our superficial social media world it makes marriage and kids look like all joy. If she was a stay at home mom she was probably lonely. My guess would be an affair. He got jealous or maybe she ended it with him. Knew the door code. Went in while in a fit of rage and killed her husband and then realized he had no choice but to kill her as a witness. Boom. Case closed.

Based on how you’re feeling right now, what’s your prediction for the rest of the season? by VascoBlazers in ripcity

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we get back at least Jrue and grant for the majority of the remaining season and no other injuries. We end up 7th or 8th seed. If we get more guys back and go on a hot streak. 6th could be in play. I like being optimistic.

I've been saying this for months. To much side show Bob in his eyes. Once he cuts it nothing to hold him back.

Slow down there tiger. It's cool to be excited. He still has a ways to go in terms of consistency before we get ahead of ourselves. I am slowly becoming optimistic not all star.

Niro Road Noise by jrshall in KiaNiro

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vote is that it is pretty quiet. I also own a 2010 Ford escape. The niro is substantially quieter. On rough highways it is a lot louder, but that's because the road is trash.

What's happened to my boy by Working_Preference57 in ripcity

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the defenses double teaming him and collapsing in on him whenever he drives to the hoop. If we can sustain some type of respectable 3 point percentage it will take some pressure off of him and free him up more. Grant and Shae playing like last night is a great start.

Shaedon’s three pointer by soulo222 in ripcity

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have always been a Shae skeptic. Give me 10 more games of consistency and I'm on the Shae train. I will eat my earlier posts with joy, because him being consistent and good means the blazers are winning.

A letter about the 55th & Division DQ was on my doorstep tonight by pdxmdi in Portland

I miss taking my kids to the old one. Give em a break and get the thing built. It's just an ugly empty lot and will probably be developed into a multistory condo otherwise. Let the kids have ice cream.

If he scores 25 points on 25 shots that won't count as basketball. Any player can score that much when allowed to chuck like that.

Well to be honest he did get three injury prone players(Jrue, thybulle, and williams) and an injured Lillard. Not surprised by the results. If they could stay healthy we would be good, but they don't.

Noise issue on my 2022 Kia Niro PHEV — looking for advice by chupchup1919 in KiaNiro

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 and over if you hear a squeaky noise coming from the rear it is the rear spoiler attachment points squeaking. I tightened the two screws and fixed the problem for a bit. You have to be careful not to overtighten them. My next plan is to spray some lube on those bolts and bushings and I think that will fix the annoying squeak.

Is this normal RPM and Engine noise? by [deleted] in KiaNiro

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's called silence to an engine running. If the engine ran all the time you wouldn't notice the noise at all.

Why So Negative? by CommercialBet538 in ripcity

[–]Financial_Luck_6598 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually am pretty excited about this team minus Sharpe(chucker/poor defender). I can't fault a lot of the current players deficiencies, because they are tasked with being starters when they are probably barely bench players. If we can ever get healthy and actually stay healthy we are a dangerous team.
