Game Thread GAME# 59: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - MARCH 4, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & CSNNW

That Batum-LA Pick and Roll is a thing of beauty. Why didn't we run that sooner? The same play got us like 5 scores in OT

I remember us being down 10 when there was like 2:45 to go. But the Blazers never stopped believing and kept fighting. I didn't give up hope because I've seen this team battle back from incredible odds before (the Spurs game and the OKC game in December comes to mind).

I've learned many times this season that you never turn off a Blazer game until they are down 20 with 10 seconds left

 

[EGame]

Nice I see we won. Was it an epic comeback at all?

 

[Strenuus]

I

we had two amazing OKC games actually

True. I think the one in OKC sticks out a tad more, though. Both equally F'N awesome.

Exactly!

5 points
4 assists
18 rebounds

Someone on another board called it the "Dennis Rodman statline"

The sweetest part of this win is the show boating the Clippers were doing, and how Wes, Nic, LA, Rolo, Triple A... and yes, even Dame shoved it down their fucking throats.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

'NOW'S YOUR CHANCE HAWKEYE, SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT!"

 

[riverman]

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee MoFo!

 

[KingSpeed]

Lillard a game high +14

 

[Natebishop3]

The Clips are my second most hated team. Are we either facing LAC or Hou?

 

[Strenuus]

Damian Lillard's 18 rebounds are the most by a guard in the NBA since Jason Kidd recorded 19 on Nov. 16, 2007

Wow.

He had one less rebound than Deandre Jordan. Let that sink in.

Damian Lillard's 18 rebounds are the most by a guard in the NBA since Jason Kidd recorded 19 on Nov. 16, 2007

Wow

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

the last 6-3 or shorter player to get 18 or more rebounds in a game was Fat Lever in 1990. Lillard did that tonight.

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Impressive W. I forgot about that Dallas choke job. After this mome...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Is it trolling if it's true?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Even Lillard's bad games are pretty good.

Great stat.

Time to go look at the meltdown the new NBA fans.... I mean, Clippers fans are in right now.

Where are they?!?!

 

[Strenuus]

Where are they?!?!

Hibernation until the Lakers become relevant again.

 

[EGame]

Also as great as this win I think I would still be a little worried about seeing them in the playoffs. They seem to literally take Lillard out of the game scoring wise which we will need him to advance at any costs.

Funny someone else mentioned Dennis Rodman re: tonight's stat line. Mentioned the exact idea to the wife 15minutes ago. She wanted to talk bridal showers after listening to my spiel.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Holy crap, Nic Batum either scored or assisted our last 19 points.

 

[illmatic99]

It's 1:53 am. I'm too juiced to sleep. I have to go to work in 6 hrs.

smh

 

[KingSpeed]

40-19
3rd in West
4 game winning streak (best in the West)

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy crap, Nic Batum either scored or assisted our last 19 points.

Wow

 

[B-Roy]

Did anyone else see Aldridge take off the strap on his hand in the middle of the 4th quarter? I saw it but wasn't sure if he did. Watching the overtime highlights now and he definitely doesn't have the strap on. Shot 12/30 tonight with some bad misses from midrange. That thumb might really be getting to him.

 

[Strenuus]

Funny... usually on the ESPN front page they have the recap of the game up by now... Guess they had to do some switching around of names and winners and such.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Holy crap, Nic Batum either scored or assisted our last 19 points.

So we could probably get a 2nd rounder for the NBEC?
