BLAZERS @ PACERS - FEB. 7TH, 2014, FRIDAY, 4:00 PM - ESPN & CSNNW

[Strenuus]

Oh Wes is not feeling it.

Wes/Nic combined: 0/9.

 

[PapaG]

Oh Wes...

 

[maxiep]

Wes is having a tough night.

 

[LuckyShot]

Indiana has 0 offensive rebounds. Nice.

 

[PapaG]

Refs are keeping Indiana in the game. Hopefully things even out a bit in the second half.

Highly doubt it with the way the refs are calling this, unfortunately.

 

[LuckyShot]

Refs are keeping Indiana in the game. Hopefully things even out a bit in the second half.

That's not how it works. If we keep playing well, we'll keep getting shitty calls. If we get blown out, then we'll get calls when it no longer matters.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

If we're going to win Nic & Wes have to score.

 

[TBpup]

Why do we consistently close so many quarters so poorly?

 

[Strenuus]

Oh nice!

 

[Strenuus]

Why do we consistently close so many quarters so poorly?

It wasn't terrible. I'll take a 5 point lead with Wes/Nic shooting 0/9.

 

[Darkwebs]

Why'd it seem like the Pacers gave Dame the open lane to the hoop? It's like they wanted him to score there.

 

[Strenuus]

Even with 20 pts in the 1st half... Dame with a -3... that's what playing with Trob does, I suppose.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

It wasn't terrible. I'll take a 5 point lead with Wes/Nic shooting 0/9.

Absolutely.

 

[TBpup]

If we're going to win Nic & Wes have to score.

Yes but if they are not hitting their shots, they need to contribute in other ways. 1 rebound and 1 assist total between the two of them combined. Complete no-shows so far. Hopefully they get that turned around.

 

[riverman]

Great first half! Now step on the gas and blow this team out!

 

[LuckyShot]

Why'd it seem like the Pacers gave Dame the open lane to the hoop? It's like they wanted him to score there.

They were playing for the 3.

 

[Buffalo Blazer]

Good game so far. Dame looking good. I like the flow of the offense for the 2nd unit with a natural pg in there.

 

[Strenuus]

LMA and Dame with 35 points on 15-26 shooting. Not bad.

 

[Natebishop3]

Yes but if they are not hitting their shots, they need to contribute in other ways. 1 rebound and 1 assist total between the two of them combined. Complete no-shows so far. Hopefully they get that turned around.

Yeah, usually Nic rebounds and hands out assists even if he isn't scoring.

 

[Buffalo Blazer]

Yes but if they are not hitting their shots, they need to contribute in other ways. 1 rebound and 1 assist total between the two of them combined. Complete no-shows so far. Hopefully they get that turned around.

Nic's D on George has been solid

 

[riverman]

Guys who aren't shooting are defending though so I'll take a 5 pt lead against the #1 team in the league on the road!

 

[riverman]

Lopez almost got a double double 1st half...he's been great!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Yes but if they are not hitting their shots, they need to contribute in other ways. 1 rebound and 1 assist total between the two of them combined. Complete no-shows so far. Hopefully they get that turned around.

A fair point.

 

[riverman]

George isn't getting 40 on Nico tonight!

 

[TBpup]

Guys who aren't shooting are defending though so I'll take a 5 pt lead against the #1 team in the league on the road!

That is great but at this rate, LA and Dame are going to have to combine for 70 to make up for the lack of offensive game everywhere else. Defend AND produce on the offensive end....doesn't seem like too much to request.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

If our second unit is going to be so problematic, why not let Barton play and see if he can drive and create a few shots.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

George isn't getting 40 on Nico tonight!

DON'T JINX!!

 

[Sinobas]

Lillard and LA are back! If Matthews were on we'd really be cooking. Nice to see Portland not giving up offensive rebounds, that has been huge!

But I'm sick of the refs calling Batum on those clean blocks from behind. He does that so well but only gets credit for about half of them because the shit head refs call it half the time. 2 free points for Indiana.

 

[Strenuus]

DON'T JINX!!

I was thinking the same damn thing. Shit!
