Game Thread GAME# 42: BLAZERS @ NETS - JANUARY 15, 2016 - FRIDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[blue9]

Nice to see Lillard finishing with a 2. Not always relying on the deep 3.

That floater was great - I want to see that become more of a weapon for him. Once done he'll be nigh unstoppable.

 

[Denny Crane]

Blazers are 7-4 over the last 11 games?

 

[Haakzilla]

...what's more impressive is the ZERO TO's by Damian Lillard #NBAVote !!!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

That's how you close a team out

 

[DUB]

I wonder how sad the nets fans feel everytime Lillard comes to town. Knowing the Blazers took him with their pick.

As the Nets commentators said, the Nets wouldn't have taken Lillard with that pick anyway, so it doesn't bother them.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Frazier is only in for a few seconds, but he's able to still get a turnover. Ugh.

 

[H.C.]

Did Frazier just enter the game with a turnover?
Are you kidding me? You're a point guard. learn the damn game.... jesus.

 

[Spud147]

It's not all bad news for Nets fans. That herring bone court is one of the best in the league.

 

[riverman]

Good solid road win! Go Blazers!

 

[DUB]

...what's more impressive is the ZERO TO's by Damian Lillard #NBAVote !!!

10 AST, 0 TO is a great effort by Dame. He was committing a lot of turnovers before his injury.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has recorded his third 30-point, 10-assist game this season, second-most in the NBA this year (R. Westbrook, 5).

 

[blue9]

Alright - that was a great, fun game! But let's not pretend that this is evidence we're a Playoff team - it was the Nets.

 

[Sinobas]

Tonight, Plumlee was -15, Davis was +24.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why are there so many Blazer fans in Brooklyn?? I don't get it. Are portland fans flying to Brookland?

There are people from everywhere in NYC. Big city.

 

[Sinobas]

Crabbe is lowkey gonna develop into klay thompson

Then what's going to happen to Klay Thompson?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

The all star game is a joke but it will be a travesty if Dame doesn't make it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Alright - that was a great, fun game! But let's not pretend that this is evidence we're a Playoff team - it was the Nets.

You gotta beat teams like the Nets to be a playoff team.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Good win tonight! GO BLAZERS!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

First road win against an eastern conference team since March 15.

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers 15-35 from 3 tonight. Hard to lose when you're dropping 3s like that.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ed Ummmm Davis.

 

[Sinobas]

You gotta beat teams like the Nets to be a playoff team.

You. Inspire. Me.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard is the first NBA player to record 30+ points and 10+ assists without a turnover in a game this season.

Damian Lillard is the first Trail Blazer with 30+ points, 10+ assists and 0 turnovers in a game since Rod Strickland (4/1/94 at PHI).

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers 15-35 from 3 tonight. Hard to lose when you're dropping 3s like that.

Hard to lose when your playing the nets too.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has scored 28+ points in each of his last three games against Brooklyn (32.3 ppg).

 

[H.C.]

As the Nets commentators said, the Nets wouldn't have taken Lillard with that pick anyway, so it doesn't bother them.

That's a bunch of BS lol.
Like saying, Blazers wouldn't have took MJ/Durant with the 1st pick anyway, so it doesn't bother them.
It bothers me as a fan that we took someone else only to have another player we had a chance at to turn into one of the GOAT.

 

[DUB]

These stats were basically even at half time, so we did a good job to pull away.

Us
Fast break points: 14
Points in the paint: 52
Total Team Turnovers (Points off turnovers): 9 (9)

Them
Fast break points: 2
Points in the paint: 38
Total Team Turnovers (Points off turnovers): 12 (12)

 

[Sinobas]

Dame has his 3pt shooting up to 38% now

 

[illmatic99]

Dame damn

 

[BlazerCaravan]

That was satisfying!
