Game Thread GAME# 66: BLAZERS @ HEAT - MARCH 18, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

They aren't reviewing that?!?!?!?!?!?!

What's to review? Batum threw a lazy pass, it was touched by a Blazer before going back across half court, plus CJ did some stupid jump that would have been a traveling call anyway.

 

[KingSpeed]

That sucks. Back to 4th.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Fuck the NBA. Two straight games stolen from us by the refs.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That













Sucked

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! I thought we had this one!

 

[S550]

Blazers falling apart back to back losses. This one to a below .500 team... I guess their not clicking at the right time

 

[illmatic99]

Our defense in the second half was deplorable. And Dragic owns Dame again. smh

MB was saying even if a Blazer player touched it they are still allowed to grab it in the backcourt since Portland never had control. But that sounds wrong.

7-3 in the last 10. Yeah. Not clicking.

 

[illmatic99]

Also, incredible missed opportunity in not going small and drawing Whiteside out. Why was Rolo playing tonight late in the fourth? Made no sense whatsoever. Closed all driving lanes for Lillard.

 

[Strenuus]

All the 3's they made except for Haslem's was contested. They were hot. We do that to teams all the time.

 

[KingSpeed]

Strenuus is a jinx. He said we'd lose to Toronto and beat Washington and Miami.

 

[HailBlazers]

Gotta make your free throws

12-21

 

[julius]

I remember being somewhat excited about this road trip because of how they played against Toronto. Now they might end it 1-4. Hello 5th place! Woo!

And I'm the only one in here not going crazy. It's a damn vortex in here.

Ball game.

 

[KingSpeed]

7-3 in the last 10. Yeah. Not clicking.

8-3 in the last 11

 

[Strenuus]

12-21

Yep.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

"frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during a throw-in in the last 2 minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period."

 

[Strenuus]

8-3 in the last 11

You silver lining finding motherfucker. hahaha.

 

[illmatic99]

How do you fail to draw up an inbounds play twice?! Spo coached circles around Stotts tonight. Probably the first time Stotts has been this overmatched all season

 

[Strenuus]

Leyman terms?

Yep. Spo coached great defense on those 2 out of bounds play. Oh well.

I think MB us right. You can inbound into the backcourt, Aldridge didn't have possession so it was open to be picked up by CJ.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Leyman terms?

Ed Molloy doesnt follow the rules.

 

[KingSpeed]

I remember being somewhat excited about this road trip because of how they played against Toronto. Now they might end it 1-4. Hello 5th place! Woo!

They might end it 3-2! Why jump the other way? And we can't go to 5th unless OKC were to pass us. We're 4th at worst this year.

 

[Strenuus]

Ed Molloy doesnt know the rules.

I think that's what you meant.

Anyone know if it was within 5 AT the 2 minute mark?

Just checked. It was. We'll be hearing about this.

 

[MAS RipCity]

What does Coach Stotts hate so much about in-game adjustments? Everyone in the building knew it would be a heavy dose of Wade isos off of the pick and roll down the stretch, yet we stayed in our same defensive strategy. Yes, I get that the Heat were hot, but I'll take my chances with everyone else shooting than Wade pulling up off the dribble.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think MB us right. You can inbound into the backcourt, Aldridge didn't have possession so it was open to be picked up by CJ.

But what did the refs call? Over and back? Or traveling?

Over and back I believe.
