Game Thread GAME# 62: BLAZERS @ CELTICS - MARCH 2, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

Bradley has legit annoyed Dame his entire career.

http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/sidebar/prac-030116-celtics-have-history-of-cooling-off-hot-lillard

25.8% on threes against Boston his entire career.

The last line in that article:

"If Lillard is, in fact, ready to take on the Celtics, that would appear to be a first."

Someone should put this in Dame's game notes.

well, in a way. NY was supposed to have one of the best Ds in the league. Fact is the past three teams were all touted as being great D teams.

Wait who said that? The Knicks have a worse defensive rating than we do.

Olynyk's hair is amazing!

Beat me to it, LOL

Creeper status.

He looks like he's reading over how he's going to kill you.

11th in opp pps, 12th in opp pts allowed, 13th in opp fg%, 20th in def efficiency, 23rd in opp FGA, LAST in turnovers forced--definitely not a "great D" team.

In what way was that; bizzaro fantasy land?

In reality land the Knicks are ranked #21st in the league with an efficiency of 108.79

Boston has the 2nd best NBA defensive efficiency at 102.88

Looks like he has a Sampson complex.

Uncanny resemblance between the two.

This is gonna be a tough one. The good thing is, we have the best player on the floor on our side.

 

[TBpup]

Barrett already making pre-game excuses for the Blazers. That was predictable....drink.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I don't see us winning this game. I think Stotts is going to be out-coached today, and he'll revert back to his comfort mode of playing Hack-a-free-throw with somebody.

Of course, I hope I'm wrong.

Man, the way you guys are gushing over Leonard is getting embarassing!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Good start. D looks good

 

[Jade Falcon]

Very nice start!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Celtics play well as a team. But looking at the overall talent, we should win this game easily.

Bostons floor is my favorite

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has 6,351 points and 1,874 assists through first 300 career games. Only players with more since 1983-84: L. James, D. Wade.

I like the Nets.

 

[kingslayer]

Aminu lolllll never in control bringing it up

 

[blue9]

I like the Nets.

Their nets are just white nylon like every other team.

 

[Strenuus]

GOD DANGET AMINU.

 

[Tunchi]

One thing I don't understand why isn't our coaching staff teaching Aminu quit that crap out?

I use to blame Aminu for that stupid shit now that's on Stotts he's still letting Aminu getting away with that shit
