Game Thread GAME# 40: BLAZERS @ SPURS - JANUARY 16, 2015 - FRIDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[DUB]

Lillard on a mission!

Nice to see him do it in the first half, when needed.

 

[riverman]

Good to close the gap before halftime here.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I think this Duncan guy is going to be good.

 

[KingSpeed]

And we go down by 10. This sucks.

 

[riverman]

ouch...Patty Mills..again

 

[kingslayer]

Only the shot clock can stop Patty.

 

[KingSpeed]

You've got to be kidding me. And Damian, Leonard was open.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

And we go down by 10. This sucks.

Yes because we're terrible at scoring points in bunches late in games.

 

[riverman]

I think this Duncan guy is going to be good.

He's got potential

 

[KingSpeed]

Gonna be a helluva second half. Make your adjustments, Terry.

 

[noknobs]

Yes because we're terrible at scoring points in bunches late in games.

Yeah the Spurs historically are just awful in crunch time...

 

[kingslayer]

Damn Blazers go on a 7-0 run, Spurs reel off 7 straight. Blazers go on a 5-0 run, Spurs answer with 5 quick points of their own. Gonna be tough adjusting especially when we're not getting calls.

 

[KingSpeed]

Right now, it's CJ's 1-4 FT shooting and Batum's 4 turnovers that are holding us back.

 

[riverman]

8 down at halftime...on the road...piece of cake!

 

[B-Roy]

I hope Stotts adjusts and starts Leonard second half. Kaman is way better off the bench in his regular role.

 

[DUB]

I like how we lifted our defense late in the second quarter. That's the standard we'll need for the rest of the game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He's got potential

He's one of those guys who would be nothing special on any other team but Pops makes look like an allstar.

 

[DUB]

I hope Stotts adjusts and starts Leonard second half. Kaman is way better off the bench in his regular role.

He won't. Should. But won't.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. Spurs shooting 22/50 and Blazers shooting 22/39. It's Batum's fucking turnovers and our FT shooting that is killing us.

We got a few calls after Stotts got the T. Batum looks to be getting pretty pissed at the refs.

 

[noknobs]

Wow. Spurs shooting 22/50 and Blazers shooting 22/39. It's Batum's fucking turnovers and our FT shooting that is killing us.

Wes and Kaman have a combined 4 points on 2-5 shooting but you don't think that's part of the problem? And why is Stotts now only playing 8 guys? We're going to be too exhausted in the 4th to come back, just like the last game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Drummond tip at the buzzer. Pistons 10-2 since cutting Josh Smith

 

[Boise Blazer]

We are getting out rebounded 23-16 and more importantly 8-1 on the offensive boards.

 

[riverman]

If we made freethrows this would be a tie game

 

[Boise Blazer]

And by the way are all the Spurs in every local SA commercial?

 

[B-Roy]

We are getting out rebounded 23-16 and more importantly 8-1 on the offensive boards.

Lots and lots of long rebounds and bad bounces.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

This Spurs team looks a lil closer to where they were last year. Think it's going to be tough for the Blazers to beat Spurs twice in a row in SA. And I think if they are going to attempt to do so, Nic has to show up

 

[Boise Blazer]

Nic has to show up

Wouldn't that be nice? Second half redemption?

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Wouldn't that be nice? Second half redemption?

Nic is a nice dude but his act of on the court is getting old.

 

[blue32]

God....f batum................:\

 

[kingslayer]

Batum needs to come out.
