Game Thread GAME# 45: WIZARDS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 24, 2015 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), NBATV & CSNNW

[BlazerCaravan]

Oh man, LA.

 

[EGame]

I really dont get it. Why is it we don't give a fuck to play defense in the first half? makes no sense.

 

[Rhal]

Back to Back three's by the Wizards when we are making a come back really SUCKS

 

[VenomXL]

Another miss at the rim.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

review that shit, you peckerwoods.

 

[DUB]

Truck should have let Nene shoot the three.

 

[Rhal]

Really bad breakdown to allow NeNe an open dunk at the shotclock buzzer. What the hell.

 

[riverman]

Giving them another almost 60pt 1st half...not a habit I'm fond of

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Truck should have let Nene shoot the three.

Truck plays defense like he's never seen it before, only had it explained to him in a book.

 

[VenomXL]

So tired of teams lighting us up. Miss some shots you assholes.

 

[kingslayer]

12 point deficit.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wait, why did Nene's dunk count?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Giving them another almost 60pt 1st half...not a habit I'm fond of

How many times as it happened this season?

 

[blue32]

Back to Back three's by the Wizards when we are making a come back really SUCKS

Yeah... We really need to trade for some defenders

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Wait, why did Nene's dunk count?

Because the refs are choads.

 

[Rhal]

Bad way to end hte half. All that work when we had them within 5 and we let the lead grow to 12 in under two minutes. Going to have to fix the D and hit some more 3's to stay in this coming out of halftime.

 

[EGame]

this team will just get there asses handed to them in the playoffs if they don't dedicate full effort all 4 quarters of defense. It's why the spurs embarassed us last year in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

So I just put on my Blazers earring. Things should turn around.

 

[VenomXL]

The Wiz deserved that two for the awful decision to come out on Nene at the three point line.

 

[Rhal]

Yeah... We really need to trade for some defenders

Or get some defenders back healthy. Rolo back healthy will do more for our D then any trade we can make.

 

[KingSpeed]

We're an elite defensive team this year. 5th right now in points allowed. So 25 teams are playing worse than us. Keep that in mind,

We are an elite defensive team when these guys put there backs against the wall and need to tighten up in the second half/4th quarter. First half we continuously get down by double digits and allow a high amount of points heading into halftime.

 

[Blazinaway]

We're an elite defensive team this year. 5th right now in points allowed. So 25 teams are playing worse than us. Keep that in mind,

that was when healthy, we are NOWHERE near an elite defensive team with Rolo/Freeland/Nic out - keep that in mind

 

[Rhal]

We'v steadily been dropping due to all our injuries. When healthy we'v shown we can be a good defensive team this year just gotta get people back healthy again.

 

[KingSpeed]

NBA GameTime says the score is 55-45.

 

[blue32]

We'v steadily been dropping due to all our injuries. When healthy we'v shown we can be a good defensive team this year just gotta get people back healthy again.

I can understand that. But our bench has no solid defenders. Just a bunch of young offensive prospects....

 

[KingSpeed]

So did the Nene dunk not count?

 

[riverman]

If Nico was playing tonight, he'd give Wall a lot more trouble..Nic is a big part of our backcourt defense

 

[KingSpeed]

If Nico was playing tonight, he'd give Wall a lot more trouble..Nic is a big part of our backcourt defense

Yes he is,

 

[riverman]

So did the Nene dunk not count?

they overturned it..doesn't count
