CELTICS @ BLAZERS GAME THREAD - 2.24.2013, Sunday 6:00 PM - KGW

[BLAZER PROPHET]

A lot of close calls going against us so far.

 

[ehizzy3]

He's smart but deeply nonathletic. Hopefully in time he will become a solid role player off the bench.

Deeply nonathletic is pretty harsh

 

[PapaG]

Bradley has a lot to do with that. He wasn't getting by him at all.

That's because they were doubling him at the top of the key. Fairly obvious why Lillard was giving up the ball.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Hurricane Barton.

 

[julius]

lost in the shuffle, Lillard went out and the team didn't collapse.

 

[PapaG]

He attacked with his freaking head down.

This guy is a 7-year pro! That was such a noob move.

Green was in the restricted circle. Should have been FTs for LMA.

Point well taken.

How about this: "my grandmother is more athletic."

Better?

Maynor looks like he knows what he's doing.

 

[PapaG]

This is ridiculous. Pierce was completely moving. It wasn't even close.

 

[RoyToy]

Hurricane Barton.

I like it

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Another close call against us. I didn't think it was a charge.

Chill.

MickZig will freak out over this post as he automatically would think you're referring to Olynyk.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

DANG! The Dame!

 

[RoyToy]

Lillard.

Method.

 

[Rhal]

What a move by Lillard.

 

[PapaG]

Boston didn't double Lillard up top that time, and he blows by Bradley for the And One.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Chill.

Good point.

 

[julius]

Freeland, you're almost 7 feet tall. dunk it for fucks sake.

 

[PapaG]

Leonard looks like an NBA player tonight. Using his large frame to set solid picks, standing tall but not flailing and slapping on defense, and making a nice shot for an And One opportunity.

Yep, this is why I'm optimistic about his prospects. He shows flashes of that great potential. He's shown more than most centers at his age.

He has the athleticism and desire. He's a project, for sure, but I'm pretty high on him long term.

 

[julius]

Leonard has his moments, when he's playing with competent PG's.

 

[Rhal]

I must still be mad from the Lakers game, already want to throw something at my monitor in disgust at these refs.

He still needs to learn where to be on the floor.

The Laker game was blatant cheating by the refs. This game seems like a lot of close calls against us.

 

[julius]

He still needs to learn where to be on the floor.

I hope he can.

 

[Further]

I have really come to appreciate wes

 

[PapaG]

You don't leave the 53rd-best 3pt shooter in NBA history that open!

 

[B-Roy]

Avery Bradley is a maniac on defense.

Yep. Me too.
