Well it's either this or watch reality TV with my wife ... decisions, decisions.

 

[jaspitzer]

7 points in the first fucking quarter...

 

[illmatic99]

On pace for 28pts.

In the whole game.

 

[julius]

Great preparation by Nate.

Oh, you didn't hear?

It's a short season.

It's a compressed season.

They just lost Greg Oden for the season.

Raymond Felton sucks.

Jamal Crawford shoots too much.

It's not Nate.

 

[Wheels]

I havent backed out of the game thread yet. Are there any meltdown threads I'm missing?

 

[Darkwebs]

7 points in one quarter? Oh my

 

[ehizzy3]

[julius]

[jaspitzer]

Anyone know where 7 points in the first quarter ranks in all nba worst starts?

 

[julius]

Fuck this game.

Lets have more pictures from Magnifiers parties.

 

[Wheels]

Timbers cant start soon enough!

 

[OneSport3]

Wow great offensive game plan by Nate McMillan. Just shoot a bunch of jumpers...

 

[julius]

I know it. Hell, they know it.

but they won't do anything about it.

 

[Sedatedfork]

If Raymond Felton doesn't hit that opening 3 pointer, they would have had only 4 points for the quarter.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Embarrassing.

 

[magnifier661]

Our shots are short, we can't rebound and we are only shooting jumpers. Yeah recipe for disaster

 

[Nikolokolus]

Anyone know where 7 points in the first quarter ranks in all nba worst starts?

gimme a second and I'll see if I can figure it out ...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Is KS at the game?

 

[julius]

For Portland, it's an all time worst.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Wheels says it's an all-time franchise low for a first quarter.

 

[magnifier661]

Is KS at the game?

Yes

If TNT played this in the background of the 1st quarter highlights it would totally make sitting through that quarter worth it.

 

[blazers2285]

I did not expect us to win but I did expect some effort, I see no hustle. We thought about losing this game before we even stepped on the court. What happened to pushing the pace? This is on nate? We play a bad first quarter and he continues with the same rotation. He never makes in game ajustments it drives me insane.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yes

LOL! Dude has worse luck than Oden! How can he not be a jinx?

 

[Sinobas]

And the Blazers lose, 116-28!

There goes our point differentiall lead. As bad as this team has looked at times, we've never truely been spanked this season.


Raymond Felton has been a PG in the NBA for how many season, and he still doesn't seem to have any idea what the concept of "touch" is on his passes and his accuracy is horrible. Wallace was like 4 feet away from him, and instead of handing it off, he throws it full force right at Wallace's face.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It's making the second quarter bearable.

 

[magnifier661]

Every single shot is hitting the front of the rim

It's tough to search by quarter, but check this out:
