Game Thread GAME# 21: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - DECEMBER 5, 2015 - SATURDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), KGW

[KingSpeed]

YES!!!

Two game win streak!

9-12

 

[ripcityboy]

Phew. Way to hang in there guys. Way to suck it up.

 

[KingSpeed]

11 more wins in 2 months and I win $200

 

[Strenuus]

I agree. I think we will give them their first loss.

You guys are joking, right? I mean, I can help you find the green font.

 

[KingSpeed]

Phew. Way to hang in there guys. Way to suck it up.

Yep. We showed toughness down the stretch. Just like vs Indiana.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm not. We're a matchup nightmare for Warriors.

 

[Jade Falcon]

who was he talking to?

Also, I don't buy the big game talk Mike Rice said. Minnesota ain't exactly a good team at home (2-8 at home? wtf?).

I think he was yelling at Lillard. And I do mean "YELLING". More like screaming, lmao.

Good game fam! GO BLAZERS!

 

[Strenuus]

I'm not. We're a matchup nightmare for Warriors.

lol.

 

[Jade Falcon]

eeeeerrrrr.....yeah, I'm not looking forward to that matchup. Curry just scored 41 tonight, and it seems like he's doing this regularly. I don't see us winning that matchup. At all.

I'll let you come to your own conclusions whether I'm serious or not.

I know you're joking. Others? lol.

Curry could go for 65 by half on us.

I dont know, it didn't look like he was pointing to him.

I think he was trying to explain to Dame his displeasure with the Fanduel commercials. As we all are sick of them.....

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Watching crabbe progress this year as a player has been a beautiful thing to witness

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I'm not. We're a matchup nightmare for Warriors.

I agree. We have just as many offensive weapons as they do and we are one of the few teams who can keep up with there scoring. Stick Aminu/Crabbe on Curry and make Barnes and Green beat you and we win the game going away.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I dont know, it didn't look like he was pointing to him.

You may be right. It's possible he was just yelling at a ref or something. The camera angle made it look like he was yelling at Dame though.

Same here. And DraftKings.

 

[jlprk]

Wow, Towns is good. The Wolves have some very good young players.

We are staying in the .400s where I predicted we'd finish the season. I call the .400s the respectable region. Not winners, but close. Respectable in the neighborhood.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

...?

The KGW broadcast was interrupted by a commercial that showed some pictures of the great outdoors (assuming pictures of Oregon) and saying "Oregon, a land of adventure." I knew only a handful of people would get it. EGame beat me to it though

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Blazers win. Stick it in your ear @HCP!! Your jinx thread failed.

 

[Sinobas]

I think Portland needs to get more shots for their supporting cast. Leonard and Crabbe in particular. Leonard has a bad habit of passing up open shots and it results in someone else having to hoist up a bad shot. Lillard and McCollum just need to stop forcing up so many shots, it'll make the Blazers a better offensive team.

Yeah, that was strange. I guess it was supposed to be some sort of subliminal message, but instead it became very liminal (if that's even a word).

 

[Trackjack]

Bad first by us and the refs. But great 2nd half great team effort. Von has his bad moments but it like he is getting more comfortable because he knows he starting.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

A huge thanks to @Darkwebs for fixing @HCP 's jinx thread!

 

[MarAzul]

These guys are not a great team, but it is fun to watch some of them play. Like Leonard, he has gone from complete suck, to good stuff about to happen. Some neat assists, too bad they don't count them all.

 

[KingSpeed]

eeeeerrrrr.....yeah, I'm not looking forward to that matchup. Curry just scored 41 tonight, and it seems like he's doing this regularly. I don't see us winning that matchup. At all.

He scored 44 actually

Jest or Typo?

 

[KingSpeed]

Curry could go for 65 by half on us.

We've already dominated Golden State this year. We DESTROYED them in preseason and they played their starters and were clearly trying.

.400s may be enough to make playoffs in West.

 

[ripcityboy]

This team stacks up pretty good considering the young and inexperienced they are. Crabbe, Leonard and CJ all have grown quite a bit as players. Then you add scrappy, slashers like Davis and Aminu and this can be a tough group. While a lot of this roster may end up playing elsewhere, the foundation is there.
