BLAZERS @ KINGS- GAME THREAD - 11/9/13, SATURDAY, 7 PM - KGW

[The_Lillard_King]

OK 7 point lead . . . need to do same thing 2nd half

 

[Strenuus]

Wow. Patterson, lets get you in some dribbling skills practice. lol.

 

[-Ace-]

Pleased with the performance so far. On a back-to-back night, against the same team, no less......you can't ask for much more.

 

[magnifier661]

Hell of an effort to try to get that Dame. Dunno how Lopez isnt given ft's... lol.

Yeah he was clearly hacked and over the back

 

[B-Roy]

Nic and Damian are a combined 2-12

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nice "road" first half

 

[Drttimmy]

Frankly, Aldridge isn't shooting enough. No excuse for him not to be set up in those last possessions.

 

[B-Roy]

Bench is outscoring starters if you ignore LMA. This is where having a bench will help the most.

 

[KingSpeed]

We are saved by our bench scoring right now.

I think it's important to try and get others involved because they will put everyone on Aldridge and force everyone else to win the game.

I think that was why we lost so many road games last season

 

[Sinobas]

Why don't the Blazers surprise everyone once in awhile and drive to the hoop? Just as a change up...everyone is expecting them to pass around to get a jumpshot. Are they just incapable? Lillard seems to be the only one that ever does it, but he has to pick his moments or he'll get way to beat up.

 

[Natebishop3]

Difference between this year and last year? We would be getting blown out right now with last season's bench.

Said no one ever last year.

LMA has been going to the basket... Lopez has done some work down low too.

Sharing the sugar makes everyone's coffee sweeter.

It seems that our starters shoot together for some reason, either we're all hot or everyone is off. So it's a good thing our bench is doing well. Lillard and Batum are 2-12. I swear, Batum has the worst mid-range jump shot any Blazer wing since Ruben Patterson. He can hit the 3 but sucks from mid range. (6-27 from mid range this year)

I disagree. I think his mid shot is good

 

[KingSpeed]

I know I'm getting ahead of myself but if we win this game, we have the 4th best record in the league, 3rd best in West. And we beat SA.

 

[magnifier661]

Watching the Kings broadcast and really loved their halftime special. It was the parade on keeping the team in sactown. I feel good for the fans

 

[illmatic99]

Dame needs to get it going.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I would really like to see one those 16 point quarters from Lillard and put this team away in the third but I have a feeling the the Kings are about to make things ugly for us.

 

[Further]

Missing another game while traveling. So far I've Been traveling during all but one game, and that was an away game anyway. Goat to see the Blazers winning, but only LMA seems to be playing well by the box score.

Jinxspeed strikes again!

Yep. And we DID get blown out by Sacramento last year. A couple times.

Yeah, I'm not feeling too hot about this game either. I really hope Damian finds his shot.

Freeland looked good too

 

[illmatic99]

This team would rather jack up a three on a 3 on 1 fast break than hit a wide open guy under the hoop

My God. That Mo Williams play with him ignoring Nic at the hoop on a 3 on 1, instead electing to give it to Wes for a contested three. WOW Nic looked at Mo like he was Felton/Crawful

Ya, you are getting ahead of things, but if you don't, who will. It's just nice not be the Jazz.
