BLAZERS @ NUGGETS 01.15.13 - 6:00 PM - GAME THREAD

[magnifier661]

I didn't say we have 5 rookie starters but we have played five rookies this season for substantial minutes.

Oh I misread. My bad

 

[VenomXL]

Rough stretch.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Faried.

Fuck you, Buchanan!

 

[KingSpeed]

Much lower scoring quarter this one

 

[VenomXL]

Getting brutalized inside.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Can someone look up the last team that played five rookies? What was their record?

I look at distribution of minutes. On this team there's only one rookie over 35 per game and of the rest no single player has even played 500 minutes yet. So yes, they've got five rookies, but only count on one.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Nic!

 

[magnifier661]

I've become such a batum fan this season. Amazing what a difference a player is when the coach actually knows how to use him.

 

[VenomXL]

Beastly move by JJ.

 

[B-Roy]

That's the Hickson I remember.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

He'll get lots of time in the 4th when we're getting blown out.

Close game going into the 3rd quarter

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice hustle and strength from JJ to get the board and then score the bucket and the foul

 

[Boise Blazer]

I'm ready for another Lillard scoring blitz.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

As always, the starters are doing it all . . . it would be so much easier to have 2-3 reliable players off the bench to help with the load

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA is shooting well tonight

 

[The_Lillard_King]

LA . . . doing it for years

 

[KingSpeed]

Faried has every right to be unhappy with us.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Man I love the starting unit!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Faried has every right to be unhappy with us.

POR Brass has more of a right to be unhappy with themselves.

 

[VenomXL]

Woof.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Lead going into the half!

 

[KingSpeed]

Good half, I guess.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame getting torched on D

 

[MickZagger]

It seems like were just chucking up 3's.

 

[VenomXL]

Solid first half offensively. Can they keep up the pace?

 

[RoyToy]

It's like Lillard and Batum have a competition going to see who can settle for the most jumpers.

 

[B-Roy]

I still can't believe Damian missed that layup.

 

[KingSpeed]

Where is Nolan Smith nowadays? D-League?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

High altitude . . . coming up in the 2nd half

 

[pinwheelempire]

Well once again the team is fighting, that's why I enjoy this team
