Game Thread GAME# 37: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 10, 2015 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

No. Every team is tough to beat. We won by 11 tonight. We are beating our opponents by 7.3 ppg. That's second in the NBA.

Agree to disagree.

A lot of it is due to injuries though.

 

[KingSpeed]

I wanted that last season. We went on a slide and didn't make it. Let's fucking do this tomorrow and do it the right way

Um, I think we did do it. 30-9 I think?

 

[KingSpeed]

Maybe we were first to 31?

 

[KingSpeed]

Agree to disagree.

A lot of it is due to injuries though.

True. Lopez, Aldridge, and Batum and now, Freeland have missed serious time, and we are still 29-8. It is unbelievable. Great coaching job by Stotts. And it's a testament to our depth this year as well.

 

[KingSpeed]

And how can you agree to disagree? Everything I said was true.

 

[magnifier661]

No I believe Indiana hit it before us

[KingSpeed]

No I believe Indiana hit it before us

Ok

 

[RipCity71252]

And how can you agree to disagree? Everything I said was true.

Oh for sure, I do apologize. What you believe is truth.

Silly me.

 

[magnifier661]

Ok

What makes this season more impressive is the harder schedule and battling through some major injuries. That is totally crazy IMO

 

[Darkwebs]

No I believe Indiana hit it before us

I know the Spurs did it before us last year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh for sure, I do apologize. What you believe is truth.

Silly me.

I said..

We won by 11 - TRUE
We are winning by 7.3 ppg- TRUE
And that is 2nd in NBA- TRUE

What are you disagreeing with? We beat Orlando by more than our average. Even more than GS's average. These are facts. Has nothing to do with what I believe.

 

[magnifier661]

I know the Spurs did it before us last year.

So at least 2 teams did it before us then. I know for certain Indiana did as well.

 

[KingSpeed]

I know the Spurs did it before us last year.

Are you sure?

Tonight was a good example of why we need Jermaine o'neal and Wilson Chandler. Kaman just can't be counted on in the playoffs against quality big men like dwight Howard, marc gasol and deandre jordan. His offense is cool, but I'd prefer him at PF with oneal at C. As for chandler, tonight would have been the type of game he could've helped; when Lillard and Aldridge are struggling.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our 30th win was at San Antonio on Jan 17th. I'll look up Indy and SA.

 

[Darkwebs]

Are you sure?

Yes, we came back from the 4th in S.A. against them to win our 30th. By that time, they had already won 31 games.

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs won their 30th on Jan 13th

By playoffs, we should have Lopez and Freeland back though.

 

[Blazersfan161]

Good to win certainly with tougher games to come

 

[KingSpeed]

Pacers won theirs on Jan 14th. So Spurs were first.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Kaman isn't supposed to be able to go against Dwight or Gasol for 35mpg for 7 games for 4 series. It's not like Jerm would be doing any better. If we lose RoLo AND Freeland for the playoffs, we're kinda hurting unless LMA plays C and goes LaMonster Mode (which he's capable of).

 

[KingSpeed]

11 game lead over OKC

Oneal is twice the defender Kaman is. He's also a better defender than Freeland. Let Freeland backup Aldridge and bring back Jermaine. Mix and match Kaman and Freeland depending on mstchups. Oneal as Lopez' main backup.

I don't have time to argue with you about this. I think it's clear we haven't been playing great ball lately, but are taking advantage of a relatively soft schedule.

Once again, agree to disagree, since you disagreed with my original observation.

 

[julius]

did they say why no 5th quarter tonight?

 

[Sinobas]

Just keeping doin' you, man. Don't listen to the haters.

Thank you! Look at what a great record Portland has when trailing at half and after 3. No other team is close, and yet people want to ignore me even though I'm helping the Blazers win. I sold my soul to Satan in order to have enough demonic power to put manipulate the outcome of games.

When you aren't trolling the hate on Aldridge, you are actually fun to read.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Because we had more points than them after 4 quarters...?

 

[Sinobas]

The games usually only have 4 quarters.
