Game Thread GAME# 39: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 8, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Darkwebs]

Great strip by Vonleh.

 

[Darkwebs]

Pat with the foul ball on that 3 point attempt

 

[EGame]

well boys its been fun. have a goodnight folks

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

MB is so bored.

 

[blue32]

Whelp rat ball

 

[DUB]

Henderson has been so much worse than I thought he would be. He has easily been the most disappointing player for me this season. I really hope we can work out a trade that will help both Portland, and Gerald.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice dish by Tim to AC

 

[Strenuus]

We average 100.8 ppg per game... scored 108 so far... so they kept us close to our average (+8)

GS averages 113... they scored 128 (+15)

They did what they needed to do. Was never close.

 

[Strenuus]

Well, one team won by double digits...

 

[KingSpeed]

It sucks we lost. I'm truly shocked but it's pretty obvious that they can't beat us in a 7 game series. We dropped 108 on them and we missed some easy shots. They can't guard us over a series. We're the better team. Rush, Clark, and Speights hit some lucky shots that they won't be able to make over the course of a series against us. Stotts is a championship level coach and he would make the appropriate adjustments. Go Blazers!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard is only Trail Blazer ever with 40+ points, 10+ assists at Moda Center. Last such home game by Trail Blazer - Drexler, 4/23/89

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers are saving it for Sunday

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard is the third NBA player to record 40+ points and 10+ assists in a game this season (Harden-2, Westbrook).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has totaled 40+ points and 10+ assists for the second time in his NBA career (12/23/14 at OKC).

 

[Sinobas]

Henderson has been so much worse than I thought he would be. He has easily been the most disappointing player for me this season. I really hope we can work out a trade that will help both Portland, and Gerald.

I thought he'd at least be a bit entertaining, as a "scrapper", but he's not. But the biggest disappointment to me has been Meyers Leonard.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has recorded his first career 40-point game at the Moda Center. He has scored 40+ points three times on the road.

 

[tlongII]

We suck.

 

[KingSpeed]

We average 100.8 ppg per game... scored 108 so far... so they kept us close to our average (+8)

GS averages 113... they scored 128 (+15)

They did what they needed to do. Was never close.

108 isn't close to our average. If Warriors let us score 108 ppg over the course of a series, they'll lose. Stotts will make defensive adjustments.

 

[Sinobas]

Damian Lillard is the third NBA player to record 40+ points and 10+ assists in a game this season (Harden-2, Westbrook).

He was just statting his pads tonight though.

 

[Strenuus]

Damian Lillard has totaled 40+ points and 10+ assists for the second time in his NBA career (12/23/14 at OKC).

And we lost by 20.

If that's not telling....

 

[KingSpeed]

Damian Lillard is the third NBA player to record 40+ points and 10+ assists in a game this season (Harden-2, Westbrook).

Curry hasn't done it. Overrated.

 

[DUB]

MyLe shot 50%, 100% from deep.

 

[Sinobas]

You know, a lot of people are talking about how the Blazers need a post threat, but how many teams have a good post threat?

 

[Strenuus]

So you -did- have it all written out.

 

[PCmor7]

Anyone thinking the Blazers could get the eighth seed, lose in the first round of the playoffs to GS and come back next year as currently comprised somehow having made up significant ground on the Warriors needs to have their head examined.

 

[Strenuus]

108 isn't close to our average. If Warriors let us score 108 ppg over the course of a series, they'll lose. Stotts will make defensive adjustments.

 

[DUB]

CJ had a terrible game, going 7-23, and getting torched on the other end.

 

[noknobs]

He was just statting his pads tonight though.

Well the rest of the team shot under 38%, so... what's he suppose to do?

 

[KingSpeed]

Leonard was +4, the only + on our team. We need to start him and play him more. Time to stop fuckimg around. Vonleh's offensive inability costs us at the start of games.
