BLAZERS @ BUCKS 03.19.2013 GAME THREAD – 5:00PM

Season over?

No we have to go on a 4 game losing streak and come back to win the rest of the games

 

[Sedatedfork]

Is it too late for the Blazers to enter the NCAA Mens BB tourney? I think we could make it to the Sweet 16.

We are NIT material...

We are NIT material...

I don't know, college basketball is pretty weak this year. If the Ducks are a 12 seed the Blazers would have to be a 4 or 5 seed.

Any updates on Claver? Not that he's our savior, but he's another lengthy body and decent defender.

From Blazersedge,

• Blazers forward Victor Claver will not travel on the five-game road trip because of a sprained ankle suffered in a March 8 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Claver will miss a total of nine games if he meets his current goal, which is to play on March 27 against the Brooklyn Nets in Portland, the Blazers' first game back. "It's a bad trip," he told Blazersedge. "Two back-to-backs, too much time flying. It's not good for the ankle. The swelling is still there. It's better to stay, improve, rest, do treatment."
• Claver told me he is sensing improvement in the ankle but that it did not respond well when he tested it on Saturday. "It feels better. Today I tried to do some moves on the court, but I see that I need time. Pain. Swollen. I need to do what I do every day, just need more time."

would anyone take one year of bynum on this team?

 

[MadeFromDust]

Lillard needs to come out bombing if we want any chance, otherwise wind it up and rest them.

 

[magnifier661]

No I think we need a long term goal player

Depending on what the deal is maybe, but with what Bynum will demand I'll say no. Another team will probably offer him a better deal anyway.

Thanks webs. It always seems to be that when a guy gets going, he gets hurt.

Bynum doesn't even seem to be totally interested in basketball. Reminds me of Dr. Oden, DDS.

You mean like the one year Philly is getting Bynum for?

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ok Dame you have the on fire mode green light. Now go out there and some fun kiddo!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Good news! That was not the worst quarter in Blazer history!

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman 4m FWIW, the #Blazers 8-pt Q was not the worst in franchise history. They scored 7 in a quarter twice: vs LAL 2.20.12 and vs Philly 12.6.91.

Lol yea they essentially gave up iggy for nothing.

 

[magnifier661]

Good defense so far

 

[magnifier661]

Why weren't we seeing this in the first half?

 

[MadeFromDust]

Nice little start, baby steps. Gotta box out.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Wes! Already have more than last quarter LOL

 

[magnifier661]

Must say that this team has heart

 

[roywonder07]

I would love for J.R Smith to be on this team. We're missing that headcase/badass role player on this team.

 

[magnifier661]

10-0 run

 

[-Ace-]

Cut it down, little by little. If you get it/keep it within 8-12 points by the end of the quarter, that's not bad.

The playing possum Ali act in perfect execution

 

[Boise Blazer]

Stotts must give one hell of a down at the half speech

 

[magnifier661]

Now that we have them that cushion; we will end this game in stellar fashion! Why not? Happened all season

 

[Nikolokolus]

Right. Because everybody knows the best way to play the second of a back-to-back on the road is to spot the home team thirty.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Maybe he should try it to start the game.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Aldridge is just short on his jumper tonight, sign of tired legs.
