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

[KingSpeed]

Told you guys we were a good defensive team.

 

[DUB]

Washington is a better team on paper than on court.

 

[magnifier661]

I think this LaMarcus Aldridge guy has earned another 10 day contract.

Lmao!

 

[Scalma]

It's your turn robin

Washington is a good team, the Moda Center is not an easy road win.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA had a triple double if you count his y'knows.

 

[DUB]

Does LA even need surgery?

Can he play the rest of the season injured?

Fair point.

 

[riverman]

We know

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I heard that might be the intent; play through with the brace and get surgery in the summer.

If only we could do the same with Nico every year to prevent him playing for France.

 

[magnifier661]

Washington is a good team, the Moda Center is not an easy road win.

And Washington only lost 1 game leading after 3. Now they lost 2. We are 10-8 trailing after the third. We are 14 wins when trailing by 13+

 

[BlazerCaravan]

We know

That's me.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge said he knew of he could play against Washington, he could play against anybody! I love it!

 

[riverman]

Sure, it's not his shooting hand and it's protected. No way LA is going to give up on what he's built here this season...he wants rings!

The resilience of this team is damn impressive.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's his plan

 

[DUB]

Did Del Negro just call LA LaMarcidge?

 

[riverman]

And on another high note..Rolo and Freeland will be back soon

 

[EGame]

That is great but like I keep saying we don't want to keep doing this especially come playoffs time. If we get down double digits against a team that plays defense and is competent offensively (pretty much every west playoff team as far as offense goes) we will see a repeat of last year against the spurs.

Also sinobas has some mad apologizing to do to Aldridge.

 

[KingSpeed]

We lost the last two games because of missed freethrows. Not this time. Lillard, Leonard, and Aldridge delivered. Feels GREAT to be a Blazers fan.

 

[julius]

makes up for losing their last game, being the first game where the Blazers lost after leading going into the 4th

 

[riverman]

Del Negro was praising LA's decision to man up and save the season!

In playoffs, it's different. Once you know what they're doing, you take them out of it all game all series. You benefit from playing the same team over and over. And we don't even have Lopez right now.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Biebes needs more touches.

 

[kingslayer]

42% from the behind the arc, 20/20 at the FT line. Awesome.

We will bro... When the playoffs come around, I suspect we will steam roll through the west. I just feel it. We definitely need to be healthy though

The refs wouldn't allow that.

 

[KingSpeed]

The Biebes needs more touches.

Agreed. Run pick and pops with him. He'll score all day.

 

[magnifier661]

The refs wouldn't allow that.

Sometimes they can't help it. Look at Dallas when they won the title
