Love scored 34 in the first quarter.

incredible

 

[illmatic99]

I haven't watched just looked at the box score is this correct? 81 points in the first half and Kevin Love has 34 points in 17 minutes???

On about 8 wide open threes

 

[BigGameDamian]

I don't know. We need Aminu.

Aminu can't be that big of a factor Kingspeed.

 

[Sinobas]

Whoo Hoo!!! Go Blazers! We're going to come back in win guys! We are so good! </kingspeed>

 

[BonesJones]

Dame needs to chew these slackers off

He's arguably our worst defensive player so how can he say anything? He lost us the game with 2 awful defensive possessions yesterday.

 

[illmatic99]

The problems go so much deeper than not having Aminu. We still give up 70 in the 1st tonight with Aminu. He's not a 10 point difference per half. Are defense sucked with him too. It's personnel mixed with awful defensive schemes mixed with a bad defensive coach mixed with lack of effort.

We gave up 81

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Seriously, this is some 90-91 Nuggets basketball...

 

[illmatic99]

Not tonight.

 

[Jon]

Honestly, we are having a pretty good offensive half....


Our defense though....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is 81 a record for a Blazers' opponent?

 

[B-Roy]

Did Love really score 34 in one quarter???

 

[KingSpeed]

james top assists in a game is apparently 16, in a double OT

he'll be aiming to break that probably

Whenever someone hits a lot of shots, there's another guy with a LOT of assists, lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

Did Love really score 34 in one quarter???

Yes

 

[illmatic99]

Is 81 a record for a Blazers' opponent?

Pretty sure GS did it against us last year

 

[KingSpeed]

Is 81 a record for a Blazers' opponent?

I don't know. What about the early 90s Nuggets?

 

[B-Roy]

Yes

Someone should be fired...

 

[noknobs]

At least we're weathering the storm. Hanging tough... I like the defensive intensity tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pretty sure GS did it against us last year

you're right, similar score. 81-61 something like that.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

What else do we do to fix the defense other than waiting for Aminu and Ezeli? I'm curious what your opinion is.

I would suggest giving our players small electric chainsaws to take out on the court with them.

 

[KingSpeed]

Someone should be fired...

Gotta stay tough right now. Try to win this game and then go sweep our homestand. No time for quitting.

 

[B-Roy]

This team needs a defensive leader. Someone that actually knows how to get on his teammates for fucking up. A Kevin Garnett or Tony Allen type. Even Wesley Matthews. Need someone that actually holds these guys accountable because no one else does.

 

[illmatic99]

Someone should be fired...

If Terry really said "good job, theyre gonna start missing shots" in a timeout after Love made 7 wide open threes like Brooke said, it should be Terry. 0 accountability on defense whatsoever. you dont wait for guys to miss, you make them miss.

Seriously. We need a veteran presence.

Um the players look like they sure quit in the first quarter

Your saying the Blazers are just toying around?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Keep developing. Stay on the path.

No

Do you always post the same 3 sarcastic posts repeatedly? I thought the human race was developing their robots better now-a-days.

 

[KingSpeed]

Not the way our guys were shooting

 

[KingSpeed]

Your saying the Blazers are just toying around?

Nope just saying we have to tough this out.
