BLAZERS @ BULLS - MARCH 28TH, 2014 - FRIDAY, 5 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

I have a lot more confidence in our chances on Sunday now. Disaster is being averted.

This is great... but Memphis is going to be really, really tough. Still don't feel good about it.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

great defense tonight.. team looks like hot lately in the season..

 

[Strenuus]

Lowest opponent score of the year... 74.


Most unlikely win this year. Good stuff.

 

[dviss1]

Great Defense tonight Blazers!!!!

 

[Strenuus]

First single digit performance by LMA this year.

 

[riverman]

Great win! Great defense and guess what folks, Stotts out coached Thibideau tonight!

 

[riverman]

LA played great defense and Lopez outplayed Noah

 

[DamianLillard#0]

This D gives us hope for big thing ,but still wait

 

[Strenuus]

Great win! Great defense and guess what folks, Stotts out coached Thibideau tonight!

It helps that Chicago missed a plethora of 3's... I don't know if Stotts out coached anyone tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

What an excellent win that was against a good team. Hope this helps us get our swag back!

 

[julius]

Hey! They beat a team above .500!!

 

[riverman]

First single digit performance by LMA this year.

LA had double digit rebounds but man did he alter shots and create stops..one of his better defensive efforts

 

[riverman]

It helps that Chicago missed a plethora of 3's... I don't know if Stotts out coached anyone tonight.

I sure do

 

[BBert]

All I ask, Batum, is that you do this more often than not.

thats the thing. He does. The guy can have five good games in a row and his first bad night people are all over his back.

 

[riverman]

It helps that Chicago missed a plethora of 3's... I don't know if Stotts out coached anyone tonight.

Chicago was 25th in the league in 3pt shooting before this game, they've never been a good 3pt team

 

[RR7]

Really liked the defense(granted, it's easier against a team like that), with Aldridge being able to kind of play off of Noah outside and kind of roam slightly,and having Lopez on a smaller Boozer or Taj. Aldridge floating roughly around the FT line most of the possession really hurts an offense, because he is able to take up so much space in the middle there.

 

[maxiep]

The best win since the All Star break. Just fantastic.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The best win since the All Star break. Just fantastic.

Best win since mid-January. It felt like we were back for the first time in two months.

 

[oldmangrouch]

TCOB.

Back on the right track. Let's see if they keep it up.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jimmer Freddete sighting. lol.


I didn't even know he went to Chicago. What a bust.

He's still young. JJ Reddick took a few years before he became an impact player in this league.

Chicago was 25th in the league in 3pt shooting before this game, they've never been a good 3pt team

I thought I read that they shoot 37%.

The best win since the All Star break. Just fantastic.

Best win since mid-January. It felt like we were back for the first time in two months.

Best win since December. Been a long long time since we looked like that.

That was a Brian Wheeler stat, said they were 25th in 3pt% going into this game and now probably dropped another notch. Chicago is not an offensive jugernaut by any stretch but we played better defense than they did tonight and they were on 4 days rest while we're at the end of a long road trip

 

[magnifier661]

So we are 2-0 since I declared 10-0

 

[Strenuus]

I sure do

He didn't. Thibs is just not a good coach in terms of substitutions.

Great. They still missed a ton, regardless.

 

[Strenuus]

So we are 2-0 since I declared 10-0

So you're saying the losses are your fault?

 

[magnifier661]

So you're saying the losses are your fault?

No just the wins

 

[riverman]

He didn't. Thibs is just not a good coach in terms of substitutions.

sheesh, Thibs is a great coach...just time to give Stotts credit when he earns it don't you think?

 

[riverman]

So we are 2-0 since I declared 10-0

3 more and we get 50 5 more and we reach my highest prediction preseason of 52..I'm all for winning out into the playoffs though

 

[Strenuus]

sheesh, Thibs is a great coach...just time to give Stotts credit when he earns it don't you think?

Canales beat Thibs at the UC too. lol.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Canales beat Thibs at the UC too. lol.

Hehe. KC and the Sunshine Band were rockin' that day!
