I'm a Walker fan

 

[Blazinaway]

Keon becoming a really good defender

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Hart needs to get aggressive

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Keon becoming a really good defender

Cronin fleeced the Clippers

 

[Cugel]

Nice play by walker. Good hard foul going for the ball. Lee felt that one.

 

[blazerkor]

Too bad Jabari was closing so hard and that ball that got to Lee first because that was a helluva defensive possession.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What's this thing the Blazers are doing when the other team has the ball? It really makes it hard for the other team to score.

 

[riverman]

Hart needs to get aggressive

Hart's got 3 dimes already though and frustrated Booker

Johnny?

Red or Black?

 

[Chris Craig]

Apparently we are pretty deep

 

[riverman]

Johnny?

Red or Black?

going on 7 years sober but it's a found memory....I used to love the black label JW but the red was also fine...cheers

 

[julius]

Nurk is off tonight.

 

[Blazinaway]

Love watching these guys play D

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nurk struggling tonight.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Nurk playing like trash

 

[Idog1976]

Fucking A so proud of this squad right now!!!!!!

 

[blazerkor]

Yeah!!! This D has us in the lead!!!

 

[MickZagger]

This is the defense I’ve dreamt about. Chauncey coaching it up.

Easy to coach when you know the players have a ton of respect for you.

 

[Cugel]

Is the defense so much better because Dame and Ant are out?
And please don't let Nurk dribble.

 

[riverman]

Chauncey has to win coach of the month for October...not sure when that gets announced but he's competing with 3rd stringers against one of the best teams in the league

After the Blazers win the championship this year you and I will have a shot of JW Black.

My treat!

 

[Labinot41]

Go Small Chauncey

 

[Idog1976]

No its Chauncey ball but also credit to Cronin for assembling a switchable squad that’s mentally locked in.

 

[ehizzy3]

The team is flying around on defense

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk playing like trash

you blind? he is anchoring our defense like a DPOY

two ends of the floor

 

[blazerkor]

And please don't let Nurk dribble.

I don't think so, the defense has clicked with those guys in but I do think that the length of the guys on the floor, without giving up any speed definitely lends itself to a more smothering style. The fact is, what this group is doing on both ends is keeping this score really low.

 

[blazerkor]

Drewbanks with the easy dunk. Nurk take notes on how to finish in the paint.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This gonna be our easiest win of the season.

 

[riverman]

Eubanks is just a winner

 

[KSF-ERIC]

you blind? he is anchoring our defense like a DPOY

two ends of the floor

Yes TWO ends and he’s playing terrible on one end. Ds better with Eubanks anyway.
