Game Thread GAME# 5: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - NOVEMBER 4, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), KGW

[LuckyShot]

Are we still the worst team in the league?!?

 

[magnifier661]

Dame and CJ is the most dominate back court in the NBA

 

[dviss1]

Clyde Drexler rocked Avias. Sounds like you and your son both wore the best Blazer's shoe. #CycleContinues

Drexler also wore kangaroos... Avias were like 4th tier shoes under Nike, Adidas, and Rebok.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Spoiling opening nights is the most fun shit ever! Especially when your team is only supposed to win like 25 games. Suck a dick.

@SlyPokerDog looks like my aldridge jersey is safe, except I used it to dust the new undefeated tv!

 

[B-Roy]

Dame just shits on bad back courts.

 

[Sinobas]

Wow, this has been quite a victory. CJ, Lillard, Aminu, Harkless, and Plumlee played great games. We're much better without Leonard.

We missed 17 free throws, and the Jazz got 11 more shots, and we still kicked their ass by 16. That just shows how much more efficient we were shooting wise. 53/44/47 vs

38/21/64

When they are hitting their shots.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Wow. I certainly didn't expect that. That was a nice win.

The Jazz were 2-1 going into this game, with a +14.7 point differential, allowing their opponents only 80 ppg (yes, small 3 game sample size.).

Impressive!

 

[blue9]

How nice is it to finally have a front court that does their job and rotates on defense!?!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

They really locked it down defensively in the 4th, holding us to 32, our highest scoring quarter of the game

 

[SlyPokerDog]

@SlyPokerDog looks like my aldridge jersey is safe, except I used it to dust the new undefeated tv!

Hahahaha! I'm glad you didn't have to smash the new TV.

 

[dviss1]

No, because he has no jump shot, no post up game, his interior defense is solid, but it's not like he's a force defensively. He's just a scrapper. Good finisher, rebounder, runs the court, active on defense....but his FT shooting is a major handicap as well. You don't want him on the floor at the end of a close game.

No post up game? Yeah...

 

[oldmangrouch]

Blazers held the Jazz to well under 40% from the field. If they can do that consistently, they may have more success than I gave them credit for.

 

[magnifier661]

We just need to hit our damn free throws! But I'll trade it for the effort and attacking the paint like we've done

 

[Strenuus]

Good win.

Be consistent.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So much for that vaunted Jazz defense

 

[Strenuus]

We just need to hit our damn free throws! But I'll trade it for the effort and attacking the paint like we've done

Hack a plums is going to happen. If that game was close tonight, Snyder would have done it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Drexler also wore kangaroos... Avias were like 4th tier shoes under Nike, Adidas, and Rebok.

Except Drexler's shoe was the premiere shoe of Avias and the Lillard shoe is the budget shoe of Adidas.

(Ez bro, I'm just funkin' with you)

 

[KingSpeed]

Plumlee outplays Gobert so we trash Plumlee?

 

[dviss1]

Damn Lillard played 40 mins tonight

When you average 36 mins a game sometimes you get over 40.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hack a plums is going to happen. If that game was close tonight, Snyder would have done it.

So what? People did Hack a Bogut and Hack a Iggy and it didn't stop the Warriors from winning a title.

 

[Darkwebs]

Harkless is the best 2nd rounder Olshey ever spent!!! And that's quite the statement because Olshey hands out 2nd rounders like candy on Halloween.

I'm feeling for Schonz right now. He must be so angry inside... when we start losing games, it's going to be so glaring.

 

[KingSpeed]

We just need to hit our damn free throws! But I'll trade it for the effort and attacking the paint like we've done

We're not going to hit our free throws this year so get used to it and embrace all the good things we do. Overall, we're a better team this year.

 

[dviss1]

Except Drexler's shoe was the premiere shoe of Avias and the Lillard shoe is the budget shoe of Adidas.

(Ez bro, I'm just funkin' with you)

Sheeeeeeeat.... Those MFs were $85 (only paid 1/2 tho)!

 

[Pinwheel1]

That was a big win. No way did I see this coming.

 

[Strenuus]

So what? People did Hack a Bogut and Hack a Iggy and it didn't stop the Warriors from winning a title.

We're not going to win a title this year.

 

[Sinobas]

Yes, Plumlee/Davis/Aminu/Harkless are much more active on defense. LA and Lopez were slow a foot on defense, and Batum was lazy.
