That was a horrible shot Dorell.

 

[Strenuus]

Shoot 3. Repeat.

Raman instructions are more complicated than this.

 

[DUB]

Refs are letting the Griz be physical, but not us. Is this due to their reputation?

 

[Boise Blazer]

I'm willing to see what happens if Lillard can break the team record for shots attempted at this point.

 

[Strenuus]

Batum has been teaching Blake to pass.

 

[kingslayer]

God this is embarrassing lol

 

[Strenuus]

Sorry, KS, that you have to endure this.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Um, I guess that was a decent thought, Meyers, but you can't make 5-on-8 6-on-7 by passing it to him.

 

[Strenuus]

60 points in the half. Beautiful.

 

[riverman]

Well that's a hell of a hole we just dug

 

[Strenuus]

Batum: 2 assists, 1 stl.

That's it.

 

[riverman]

Maybe since the offense isn't clicking, defense might help?

 

[BrianFromWA]

If you would've said we're on pace for 60 games while losing RoLo for a couple months and Freeland for a month, and that Meyers, Wright and CJ were getting quality time, I'd probably be ok with it.

 

[Boise Blazer]

It's crazy how polar opposite this team can look sometimes. Completely unbeatable and then absolute garbage.

 

[BrianFromWA]

no Blazer is shooting over 50%

 

[Strenuus]

no Blazer is shooting well at all, especially Batum. Sit him, Stotts.

FTFY

I know that's what you really wanted to say.

 

[riverman]

I really don't want to meet this team early in the playoffs

 

[Strenuus]

This is sad, but will we get to 200 posts or 50 points first?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Batum with 12 min. In the first half.

There is no excuse for that, Stotts!

 

[DUB]

FG%
Us - 36%
Them - 61%

3P%
Us - 27%
Them - 56%

Everything else is pretty even, even points in the paint.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Although there have been a few bad ones it seems like most of our shots were good shots and we just aren't making them.

 

[riverman]

If you would've said we're on pace for 60 games while losing RoLo for a couple months and Freeland for a month, and that Meyers, Wright and CJ were getting quality time, I'd probably be ok with it.

ok, we'll just say that

The way this team is playing, they should fear meeting ANYONE in the playoffs.

 

[DUB]

I'm more concerned about our defense than our offense.

 

[bemac]

Can we stop with the chemistry concerns and do something about this bench? Wow.

 

[kingslayer]

If you would've said we're on pace for 60 games while losing RoLo for a couple months and Freeland for a month, and that Meyers, Wright and CJ were getting quality time, I'd probably be ok with it.

Our schedule has been extremely kind to us. Games like tonight and the past two are a good indication of how we stack up against playoff bound teams right now. Not very good.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow...Wes took a charge! When's the last time we took a charge?

Damian took a charge but they didn't call it.

 

[riverman]

What happened to using Crabbe behind Batum?

 

[KingSpeed]

I really don't want to meet this team early in the playoffs

Who do you want to meet?

 

[riverman]

Who do you want to meet?

Clippers, Mavs, anybody but the Grizz..we just don't match up well with them
