Game Thread GAME# 34: HAWKS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 3, 2015 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSN

[VenomXL]

This would be the most surprising win of the year if they somehow pull out of this nosedive.

 

[noknobs]

Nothing easy tonight. Hawks play tough D.

It's easy to guard people who are afraid to drive to the basket or post up.

 

[KingSpeed]

It might already be over. Atlanta seems to be playing at a different level.

It's never over for the Blazers. There's a reason we have the second best record in the NBA.

 

[riverman]

I don't know why Dorell Wright isn't in the game instead of TRob..he's played well tonight

 

[KingSpeed]

This would be the most surprising win of the year if they somehow pull out of this nosedive.

How about back from 10 down with 1:30 left against OKC?

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ok guys its time to get pissed and get this going

 

[magnifier661]

Batum!

 

[BrianFromWA]

I knew Rice was a Drambuie guy.

 

[Boise Blazer]

It's gotta start with the defense though

 

[BrianFromWA]

we still have 17 minutes left, I'm not worried.

 

[julius]

The whole point of making a comeback is making baskets AND stopping the other team from scoring.

that's not happening tonight.

 

[riverman]

Stotts really doesn't like to call timeouts very often

 

[BrianFromWA]

yikes 46-14 in the paint.

 

[VenomXL]

This shit is over. Hawks deserve to win this.

 

[KingSpeed]

I have a good feeling about this. We're gonna win.

 

[julius]

18 points, for craps sake...

 

[KingSpeed]

This shit is over. Hawks deserve to win this.

No they don't. It's a 48 minute game.

 

[kingslayer]

I'm afraid that's the ballgame right there. Credit to the Hawks. They are legit.

 

[riverman]

I agree with Brian though, there's a lot of game left

 

[Strenuus]

I have a good feeling about this. We're gonna win.

It only works when I say it.

 

[julius]

get your shit together Portland.

 

[Sinobas]

And how is LA helping this team with those mid range bricks?

 

[riverman]

Wheels is tough to listen to tonight, he just sounds, dejected, rejected and discombobulated

 

[Draco]

This feels just like the second round losses against the Spurs.

 

[BrianFromWA]

alright guys, this isn't funny anymore. Can you please at least foul someone hard so they have to make FTs instead of getting layups?

 

[KingSpeed]

5-0 run!

 

[VenomXL]

A little bit of life. Will the defense answer?

 

[Strenuus]

Defense is cool guys. Can't say everyone is doing it... but you can try it.

 

[Sinobas]

I think it's sad when Portland doesn't even show up for the home crowd. If you want to lay a stinker on the road every once in awhile, fine, but bring it for the people that paid to watch you. You've had plenty of time off.

 

[BrianFromWA]

hey, fastbreaks and 3's after forcing misses works!
