Game Thread GAME# 54: CELTICS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 9, 2017 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), TNT

[BlazerBeav]

I hate this team. Just hate it.

 

[Scalma]

Nothing is going to change out of the timeout. They'll wait until they're down 10-15 before urgency picks up. It's a boring and predictable script.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Here comes the TNT Boston Cock Sucking.

Apparently, the Falcons aren't the only ones who choke away massive leads.....

 

[dviss1]

Stotts with no time outs during their run... WTF?

 

[Five Second Violation]

I just can't remember another Blazer team that consistently coughed up 15+ leads in under 5 minutes of play.

Yeah, it's like clockwork. As soon as their lead reaches a certain point they just totally let up.

 

[Scalma]

Btw where's Olshey

 

[riverman]

I hate this team. Just hate it.

find another team...there are 30

 

[BigGameDamian]

I hate this team. Just hate it.

Ya but we're developing.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Ed Davis injured?

No. Meyers and Davis alternate games. Been this way for awhile.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Stotts isn't very high on him.

I'm not very high on Stotts.

 

[riverman]

Btw where's Olshey

I'd say he's scouting draft prospects and married to his phone about now

 

[BlazerBeav]

find another team...there are 30

Sadly they sold me a bill of goods and I bought season tickets to this one.

 

[KingSpeed]

No need to cover Horford at the 3 point line. Freaking double Thomas and get the ball out of his hands.

Horford has hit threes against us before.

 

[craigehlo]

We don't have the personnel to execute whatever the hell offense Stotts is trotting out there. Our bigs don't have the size or offensive skills to make contested shots at the rim.

that sucks

 

[BlazerBeav]

Mason Plumlee with a made jumpshot. First in a month?

 

[craigehlo]

Horford has hit threes against us before.

Totally fine with him trying that nonsense. Open 3's for Thomas is what is killing us.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

 

[Scalma]

Vonleh is the only one working the boards.

 

[LuckyShot]

If they're going to put Thomas on Dame, we should just let Dame eat him alive every possession like he just did.

 

[craigehlo]

Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

He's too short to play in the trees.

 

[riverman]

We don't have the personnel to execute whatever the hell offense Stotts is trotting out there. Our bigs don't have the size or offensive skills to make contested shots at the rim.

this is what I believe...if Mason or Meyers could score in the paint, we'd be leaps and bounds better

 

[Scalma]

Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

Nah he's just not confident at anything he's doing.

 

[LuckyShot]

Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

No instincts. Thinks too much before acting.

 

[riverman]

Vonleh just totally lacks the ability to go up quickly with the ball.

in fairness...he's shocked to get the ball when he's out there..

 

[LuckyShot]

Damn, how good would Dame be if the refs protected him as much as some of these other guards?

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame needs to dunk that

 

[Five Second Violation]

Feels like Lillard hasn't made a shot at the rim in months. Major difference from earlier in the season.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Vonleh with 8 strong rebounds in just 14 minutes. Man, if he only had a decent offensive game I actually might like watching him play.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Dame got shoved in the back which threw him off, and no call.
