BLAZERS @ HAWKS - MARCH 27TH, 2014 - THURSDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

yeah, not a lot of trade talk tonight eh?

Glad to have the Big Decoy back. The defensive focus on him makes it so much easier for his teammates to find elbow room to score.

 

[KingSpeed]

I see the doom and gloom guys have disappeared

It's not the doom and gloom GUYS. It's the actual doom and gloom. If we had lost, we probably miss the playoffs. Good win. Win tomorrow would be huge.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

It's win streak time bitches, get your dance gifs ready.

 

[jlprk]

Our gimmick offense, based on the Big Decoy, is back. We resume faking our way into the playoffs.

Stotts needs to invent a gimmick defense, like George Karl's traps on most possessions.

Compare the last couple of game threads with this one and you'll see my point KS...Look at the thread titles on the forum for the last few days...believe me, it's the gloom and doom guys. The crap smothers the boards when a slump happens. How many chimed in with "Great win"? You sure did and that's commendable.

 

[riverman]

I think we'll get 52 wins all said and done

Yep. Taking it all in stride.

Defense was good tonight

Hope LA doesn't have a relapse in the morning because he is looking great

You dropped this, don't worry, I'm keeping it safe for you.

A win tomorrow would indeed be huge.

How, exactly, is taking advantage of double-teams on your best player and All-Star a "gimmick"?

No, you know what? Never mind.

EDIT: GO BLAZERS

 

[riverman]

Momentum! Win streak coming! The ice cold 3pt stroke is history

looks like the unicorn's horn broke off in the fall

 

[blazedanugz]

confidence was there tonight..you could see it in every shot. i noticed it the most witht hat wide open lillard three in the corner. doesnt sound like much you could tell he was like "im gonna make this MF'er"

also...what does everyone make of the amount of PT trob got tonight? gearing up for playoff minutes? he is the kind of player we may need int he playoffs. or was it a match up thing?

Like all Blazer fans, I have fun when we shoot great and win an exciting game with clutch shooting. I'm glad Aldridge is back.

Stotts learned his coaching under Karl. If we go no further than the 1st round the next couple of years, I'll be reasonably happy. I might complain, but compared to the last 10 years, it'll be fine. Eventually I'll get bored and want 2nd round success.

T-Rob was solid. Active on D and efficient offensively. Love seeing him develop along side LMA.

 

[riverman]

Mo, Will and TRob were all really good tonight

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. I forgot about our dance threads. Been awhile.

I think we'll get 52 wins all said and done

That would be amazing.

 

[jlprk]

This game was great, because Aldridge increased his value in a trade. Go LaMarcus!

admit it ..you're just bored with the same old roster over and over and over. You could talk about Crabbe for days simply because noone else does, and that's great

 

[jlprk]

Exactly!!

Constant change is what pro sports is all about. I remember an NBA team in the early 80s in which the owner said, we have good players, let's find a good coach. So he changed the coach every year for about 3-4 years till he found a good one. Fan interest couldn't have been higher.

(Was Stan Albeck one of the coaches? I could figure out which team it was...)

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Seven pages in the game thread? But....but....we won.

Is this because Bieber didn't play?

Nah, the doomsday crowd choked on their Buffalo Wild Wings and just ran out of fuel

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I thought maybe everybody went to Boise to watch Crabbe.
