Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 4, 2017 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), KGW & ESPN

Alright I'm pissed at the lack of intensity in the closing minutes of this game. Don't want to go down for loose balls..? Don't get off your feet to try and contest..?

Meanwhile while his team is up Draymond jumps and blocks Crabbe.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Where is the foul on that play? Talk about late, superstar and ones...

 

[LuckyShot]

Mental. Errors. Fuck.

 

[VenomXL]

It's been a pretty good game. Can you guys please just not get embarrassed at the end?

 

[Nikolokolus]

At least it was competitive most of the game. With Dame that's probably a win

We're still gonna give up 130.

 

[riverman]

and there's the proverbial fork

 

[BonesJones]

So many bad turnovers down the stretch

 

[PDXFonz]

16-17 Blazers, losing games in the 4th like its going out of style!

 

[Cippy91]

We're still gonna give up 130.

Well the warriors do have the best offense in the league and we have the worst defense or one of the worst

 

[LuckyShot]

We're still gonna give up 130.

I don't think our defense was nearly as awful as it has been though. We had lots of mistakes that led to easy shots, but they've also hit a high amount of contested shots.

 

[JDC]

Never dribble Aminu.

I'm fine with it on a closeout but attacking a guy, let alone Draymond Green, one on one...please no.

 

[blue9]

Aminu got a shot off after dribbling! He missed, but the fact that it wasn't a turnover is amazing.

 

[riverman]

We need to stop playing down to teams like the Warriors we should beat so easily!!!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well the warriors do have the best offense in the league and we have the worst defense or one of the worst

So how does adding Damian change the calculus?

 

[Darkwebs]

Good game.

 

[PDXFonz]

Good game.

I definitely thought it was going to be much uglier.

 

[JDC]

GS gave us some chances in the 4th but couldn't take advantage.

Valiant effort.

 

[LuckyShot]

They're just lucky they caught us without Lillard

 

[VenomXL]

I appreciate the effort. More of that please.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't think our defense was nearly as awful as it has been though. We had lots of mistakes that led to easy shots, but they've also hit a high amount of contested shots.

The effort was there, but the result is largely the same.

 

[riverman]

So how does adding Damian change the calculus?

He has more fans at a Warriors home game

 

[Jade Falcon]

Really wish CJ had shot those at the end, instead of dribbling them in.

 

[DUB]

That fourth foul on CJ, causing him to sit, really hurt us. Not only did it take his offence away from us, it also put him out of his rhythm.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn. We nearly won this game.

 

[BlazerBeav]

We were just saving our best for our eternal rivals tomorrow.

 

[riverman]

Scott Foster alone will cost you a dozen points on the road...!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[Chris Craig]

...loss...

Yeah I got it

 

[Nikolokolus]

Damn. We nearly won this game.

We covered! We covered! $$$$$$$

I've always hated when coaches let "foul trouble" dictate their substitutions.
