BUCKS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 18TH, 2014 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Hell wtf is going with this bucks.. the hit every shot oh dear

 

[julius]

Glad they won (barring a miracle) but it's not a good sign that it took OT to beat such a bad team. I hope they use it to move forward, but they haven't show that ability in a long time.

 

[MadeFromDust]

What is with teams not missing against us, ever?

This

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Batum has really cut down on his turnovers lately.

Yeah, he's playing really well. Let's see if he can close the year out like this. And come out next with the same intensity and keep it next.

Could be looking at another all start.

 

[ehizzy3]

god that would have been a terrible, terrible loss. thankfully they got it

 

[KingSpeed]

Great win

44-24, 5th in West

 

[julius]

Stepback Jumpshot.. again ! again ! again ! again ! 5/23 Shooting ... hell yeah LA is the best player that we have in the history of this team

not sure if you're joking (and I've missed it) but I'm fairly certain no one has ever come close to saying that.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

ok thats enough.. im off.. this blazers team sucks really.. definetly not a playoff team.. but we will see.. hardcore roadtrip is the key..

 

[maxiep]

There's been way too much bitching on this board lately. We won. Let's enjoy it.

 

[B-Roy]

Well after losing what seems to be an endless amount of close games, the Trailblazers finally win one.

Who would have guessed it would be against the Bucks though?

im jokin man.. LA is a dumbass that has 1 option to score.. when he goes to the rim i buy every guy here a beer ...

Bandwagon isn't loss friendly is it.

Hard to get excited barely winning in an overtime game at home against a tanking team with the worst record in the league.

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR 1m
Portland's 20-4 record (83.3%) against the Eastern Conference is the best mark of any West team against the East this season.


That means if you take out the Eastern Conference, the Blazers are a .500 team.

 

[riverman]

Hey, it's a win and I'll take it! Nic had another great game, and how the hell did Dame get 20 pts again? For a long stretch I didn't think he'd get double digits

 

[julius]

im jokin man.. LA is a dumbass that has 1 option to score.. when he goes to the rim i buy every guy here a beer ...

ah, the old "he never goes to the rim" line.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Bandwagon isn't loss friendly is it.

I see it in the predictions game every year, the more the losses rack up, the fewer people participate in the predictions game. Early in the season we regularly had 40-50 predictions per game. Now we're lucky if we break 20. A poor streak tends to dull enthusiasm both for the team and, it seems, all things associated therewith.

Gramps...

Enjoyin what ? when im getting 20 years older with one match against a team that cant win anything.. hell blazers are over 600. so there is nothing to enjoy with this type of game.. win it by 40 points then im enjoying but not a game they are nearly lost with 16 seconds left.. holy shit are you kidding me.. it 6 in the morning so im angry about this shit ...

 

[Sinobas]

This team can't defend a simple pick and roll. When Ramon Sessions and Brandon Knight are routinely destroying you on simple pick and rolls....

Most teams we play against have the center come out and meet the guard coming off the pick and double the ball handler and give the PG time to recover, but Portland has the center sit back near the hoop, which gives the guy coming off the pick a ton of room to operate.

 

[riverman]

Wes played really well tonight as well. Bounce back game for him for sure...Bucks were desperate for a win and played a tough game

I agree. I enjoy the blowouts. Players like to play heros though.

Go back to bed.

You don't get it then, a 1 pt overtime buzzer beater win is way more fun than a blowout win, anyday.

Give me a dunkfest beat down anyday over this.

 

[julius]

Wes, Batum and partially Lopez, deserve the game ball.

 

[riverman]

To me blowouts are really, really boring, then the 4th qtr the 3rd string gets to see if they can hold it and they rarely do. I like the down to the wire matches in any sport.

But you're cutting it close with each game. I still say give me the blowout which captures the imagination of bigger and better things to come.

This here, the team is barely holding it together.

 

[illmatic99]

I'm scared about our playoff prospects.

Glad we pulled it out tonight though. Was havin an absolutely horrible day and couldn't handle a loss tonight

 

[julius]

The Blazers need to get their confidence back (in close games). tonights game hopefully helps, but not having Lamarcus changes how their offensive flow is.

I really hope they address the defense during the off season, but not necessarily at the expense of the offense too much. Though it does need more inside touches.

Well, I'm glad they won for you then. And everyone else in here as well.

Coaches need to get theirs back as well.
