CAVALIERS @ BLAZERS 01.16.13 - 7:00 PM - KGW - GAME THREAD

[KeepOnRollin]

Mike Barrett just blamed tonight's start on rust ...



OK? ...

We did much better in the first quarter than the second.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Pretty embarrassing to be down this bad to a suck ass team at home.

Scheduled loss in a way.

 

[KingSpeed]

I've noticed Stotts plays Sasha when were down and Claver when were up. As if Sasha is somehow better than Claver.

We can only play 12 players a night and we have more than 12 players. Usually, one of them is put on the inactive list so it's not like Stotts is making a choice mid-game. The choice is made before the game starts.

 

[Sinobas]

Terry Stotts is a moron. We're not going to win in Denver, so why the fuck play your starters so much? He should have pulled a page out of Pops book and not played them much. At least they may have been ready for the home stand.

Now we are getting our asses kicked by one of the worst teams in the NBA. These bums could not beat the Oregon State Beavers tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

I think we'll win this. Dame will get it going. He's been getting inside at will tonight. Just needs to shoot.

 

[Nikolokolus]

There's worn out, and then there's playing stupid. We're seeing the latter.

Everything is two steps slow on our end and Cleveland is coming off of a nice rest. The sloppiness is due to exhaustion, not being brain dead.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

here's hoping

I think we will too. It just sucks we don't have a bench. I think point differential would be much different.

 

[jlprk]

Once the Cavs ease up on defense, Aldridge will get his stats. He always makes several baskets at the ends of our blowout losses.

This will probably happen.

The Blazers had the last shot in regulation. If they had won last night I doubt you'd be saying this.

Agreed. They've pulled this shit all season long....half assing it and then coming back when it counts. It hasn't always worked, but since they're Cleveland, it probably will tonight. Hopefully they'll figure out that it's a bad habit and try from the get-go.

This. Not to mention we are neck and neck with Denver record-wise. Resting everyone Pop-style is ludicrous.

 

[KingSpeed]

No. We rarely get blown out and when we do, he sits the fourth. The last bad loss was to the Lakers. He was having a stellar individual game but did not play in the fourth because we were getting blown out. So much for "always." Also, in Boston, we were down 16 going into the fourth. Aldridge did not play in the fourth.

Need some more focus on D. Lots of missed rotations, because guys clearly look a few step slow.

 

[jlprk]

Dumbwaiter needs a lift. He shot 1-5.

Get it?? That was a good one.

 

[illmatic99]

I think we should put Nic on Kyrie.

 

[magnifier661]

We win by 10

 

[Darkwebs]

I think we should put Nic on Kyrie.

That's the ace up our sleeve

 

[B-Roy]

OH MY GOD

 

[magnifier661]

Now that was a finish!

 

[Rhal]

Now that is the dunk of his career so far. THAT WAS NASTY!

 

[Darkwebs]

BLAZER DUNK OF THE YEAR Material there!!! JJ!!!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Thunderous dunk plus 1!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Oh hey, I think I just felt a pulse?

 

[illmatic99]

And there ya go.

 

[Darkwebs]

Can't believe how quickly we cut the lead down to single digits again. Crazy

 

[illmatic99]

Sick finish. Was that Gee on his poster?

 

[MickZagger]

I'm wearing those Blazer pajama pants right now.

 

[illmatic99]

If only Dame could get a call like that.
