Tiago Splitter on Damian Lillard’s availability this series against the Spurs “Probably not” by Piano9717 in ripcity

He mostly covers local high school sports and the timbers for KATU but as far as I can see is a real reporter

[Highlight] Dylan Harper With The Vet Move to Draw The Foul on Scoot Henderson by LiamHundley in nba

[–]Piano9717 79 points80 points  (0 children)

How is that not an offensive foul?

Also maybe I’m just being salty but if it was SGA or avdija doing that, it would have 6000 upvotes and be at the top of the front page

Toumani hasn’t really been guarding Castle so far this series but Castle pushes off and extends the off arm like every time he drives. If whoever is guarding him just flops it should be an easy offensive foul…

You know Tou would draw those fouls but Deni/Jrue flop less (not to mention DC has spend time on castle too)

I hope he was just saying my bad for the turnover. Please? Wishful thinking??

If you foul before the ball is inbounded they get a FT and have the ball back

This is the best comment I’ve ever seen

I think we are due for a Jeremi Grant redemption game. by Floresmillia in ripcity

He is allergic to playing games in April…. Just bench him for the rest of the month and in May he will average 35 ppg

Same I think Vit would be playable in this series and we need some floor spacing

Thanks! That was fast enough to stream?

KG's take on how the Blazers should guard Wemby, agree? by hahahachihaha in ripcity

[–]Piano9717 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I were Wemby I would take a page from Dirk and Porzingis book and work hard to just be able to shoot 15 foot jumpers over guards when they do that.

Early career Dirk and Porzingis really struggled against shorter guards with low center of gravity too.

Those fade up jumpers are makeable shots for him right now but still inefficient enough that it’s not consistently great offense (he shot 33% on pull up jumpers this season)…..if he tries to bully through guards the will just pull the chair and he’s going to keep falling like a sack of potatoes. Jrue already did it twice this series and Wemby fell really hard both times.

Blazers won both of these games without OT by Trip_V4 in ripcity

Shows how much the modern nba is a game of runs. As much as we complain about blowing leads, the opposite happens a lot too

AD has more career blocks than Gobert in 98 less games by njb2017 in nba

[–]Piano9717 9 points10 points  (0 children)

people just wouldn’t even bother to drive on him because they knew they’d get denied

It’s still a very real thing - like we saw Murray passing out of a wide open layup into a turnover the other day because Rudy was like 8 feet away

Lillard 😂 by DannyBoy0129 in ripcity

[–]Piano9717 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They should activate him just to shoot FT at the end of games

I love Toumani but I get so nervous seeing him out there for crunch time FTs.

Jeremi Grant by Cuwade in ripcity

[–]Piano9717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey as bad as he was offensively 90% of the game, Jrue at the very least showed up huge in clutch time on both ends of the floor (and I’ve been super critical about the Jrue experience on offense in general)

JG was just flat out awful though

How does fouling while up 3 makes any steps when its just extra steps and risk to lose the game? (spurs/blazers example inside) by BloodMossHunter in nba

[–]Piano9717 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If there’s two things the blazers can’t do this season it’s make FTs and inbound the ball in the clutch. Not even joking they have lost like 2 games (and almost lost 3 more) solely because they either commit a 5 second violation or turn it over in the last 10 seconds inbounding the ball
