Game Thread GAME# 56: SPURS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

[KingSpeed]

Looks like they're saying Duncan's shot didn't count. So he's still 7/7

 

[magnifier661]

LMA has missed 8 shots, the rest of the team combined has missed 9.

Yeah his shot is off. It doesn't help that the refs aren't giving us fouls in the paint. Dame and Aldridge are getting bodied

 

[kingslayer]

He missed a 3 pt shot

That attempt was after the clock expired.

 

[Strenuus]

He missed a 3 pt shot

When? That last shot was after the buzzer, it doesn't count as an official shot.

 

[magnifier661]

He missed a 3 pt shot

That shot didn't count

 

[KingSpeed]

He missed a 3 pt shot

After the buzzer, it looks like

 

[RipCityBlazer]

Barton 22 and 8 tonight

 

[PHXBlazer1]

He still missed

 

[riverman]

At any rate, Duncan is hot and LA is cold so far...but again, Rolo needs to hit the glass

 

[Strenuus]

I think you mean Koolaid...

haha. nah. Glass half full of losing a 19 pt lead. lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

Barton 22 and 8 tonight

It'd be great to have that off our bench,

Meh. I don't see anything to complain about regarding the way the game has been called.

 

[Strenuus]

Barton 22 and 8 tonight

Like i've said, a poor team with no real offensive game is a better suit for Barton who doesn't play NBA basketball... it's street ball.

 

[Strenuus]

It'd be great to have that off our bench,

He wasn't a fit for our offense. He wouldn't do that most nights.

 

[KingSpeed]

Barton 22 points on NINE shots

 

[riverman]

haha. nah. Glass half full of losing a 19 pt lead. lol.

We're ahead at the half, that's winning, not losing

 

[magnifier661]

Meh. I don't see anything to complain about regarding the way the game has been called.

It would be fine if the refs allowed us to play that physical on the other end. Call it equally and all is well

I think it's equal and fair. Like I said - no complaints about the calls. We're not getting hosed, SAN isn't getting gifts, it's been a well officiated game thus far.

 

[Strenuus]

We're ahead at the half, that's winning, not losing

Well, in the literal sense, no it isn't. Since it doesn't actually count as a win. But, I digress.

 

[Strenuus]

I'll let Dviss1 handle this one.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I think you mean Koolaid...

Y'all got Koolaid?

 

[KingSpeed]

He wasn't a fit for our offense. He wouldn't do that most nights.

How so?

 

[magnifier661]

Hardly... Sorry I completely disagree with you

 

[Strenuus]

Barton 22 points on NINE shots

Cool. He's in the right offense. It isn't our offense. He gets free reign to shoot and gets to play in garbage time for a non playoff team.

He was not meant for this team.

 

[Strenuus]

How so?

Does our offense really accomadate him? It doesn't. Stotts like controlled aggression. Passing. Two things Barton doesn't have.

 

[magnifier661]

How so?

Denver plays run and gun. Portland plays efficiency offense. Barton doesn't fit in that style

It's really not that hard of a concept, y'know?

What is it about Denver's offense that is different than ours?

 

[BlazerBeav]

No way. They let San Antonio get way too physical in the 2nd - changed the game. The blatant no call when Baynes bodied Dame for example.

 

[blue9]

Hardly... Sorry I completely disagree with you

You do understand that you can "body" players, right? Getting bodied isn't a foul.
