3/19 Blazers vs. Sixers Game Thread

Anyone else miss Sergio?

Just tuning in. 22/36 shooting, 10/10 from the line, and 8/12 from 3? Wow.

Ya, hopefully they'll do better in the second half. At least they have the lead.

Totally! With percentages like that, we should be capitalizing by taking twice as many shots. Typical slow Nateball...

 

[OdenHoF]

Anyone else think we should quit while we're ahead and feed LMA like 40 consecutive times? Even the fadeaway jumper is a higher percentage shot than regressing to the mean on our 3 points.

 

[OdenHoF]

You know though, thinking about it. A lot of those threes were created from overall good team play (assists + rebounding) so I don't know whats best

Not me.

Hitting threes and getting good low post looks are not mutually exclusive -- in fact, it's pretty much the opposite.

In an ideal circumstance, but it's tough when people are not hitting shots.

I blinked and missed Wallace's dunk hah! Athletic move

 

[Darkwebs]

Great answer by the Blazers to get our lead back

 

[illmatic99]

Hope Nate doesn't take Nic out.

 

[Darkwebs]

This is the quarter where we have to put it away early, so that our starters can get a rest. We'll need it for tomorrow's game against the Lakers

Then everyone will say "all Nate calls are ISOs, our offense is too predictable, Aldridge bogs down the offense, etc etc."

I wouldn't mind us going to Roy for a 1 on 1 against Nocioni. That's easy $ right there.

Great D!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Crash is kicking ass, doing a bit of everything

Very impressive. And it's contagious to the rest of the team. Really like how we are playing with him leading the way.

 

[illmatic99]

Gerald is a beast.

The defensive combo of him, Wes, Nic are finally showing us what they're capable of.

 

[illmatic99]

I'd put Brandon in for Dre, and spread out the D even more right now.

 

[Rhal]

Fiance finally got off the computer. Man has the whole team just fed off the energy that LMA/Wallace are bringing. Wallace is having an insane night.

You've gotta put her in line, man. J/k

 

[Darkwebs]

That 5th place is still up for grabs. We gotta beat some tough teams coming up and we can end up with the 5th seed at the end of the season.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Get that damn camera out of his face!

Doug Collins is not a happy camper.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gerald Wallace trade best in two decades for Blazers? He's right up there with Sheed and Pippen.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well, I forgot we got Aldridge and Roy in trade too. But it's still a huge trade, esp for midseason.

 

[mgb]

Excellent win!

 

[Darkwebs]

Half a game within the 5 seed. One full game ahead of the Hornets and the 7th seed. Tomorrow will be a difficult back to back. Why'd it have to be the Lakers in LA?

 

[illmatic99]

That's 40 wins!

40 before 30 losses.

Not bad considering how much adversity and change we've been through this season.
