Game Thread GAME# 66: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - MARCH 11, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Rhal]

Is this the most points we have ever given up in a half?

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard is in complete fuck it mode. I get the frustration, but its so visibld

 

[SlyPokerDog]

61 pts in a half on the road?!?

That's damn impressive, especially against a defensive team like the Warriors.

Oh oops, what was I thinking?!? Vonleh sucks! Lillard sucks! Stotts sucks! We should bench everyone! We suck!

 

[Elton]

Honestly, this is video game absurdity. Pull the starters and preserve energy for tomorrow night.

 

[riverman]

We're playing on the road against the champs and maybe the best shooting team to ever play the game...I'd avoid calling us pathetic...they did this to the Spurs and a lot of teams...these are games a young team like us needs to fight through.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Well.

 

[Chris Craig]

They just caught us on an off night. It's a fluke

 

[Strenuus]

Lillard is in complete fuck it mode. I get the frustration, but its so visibld

Lets see what happens at halftime, and if he can channel it to something positive. Get his mind right. Who knows?

If you want to be the best you have to play against the best. We gain more as a team battling against the Warriors.

 

[KingSpeed]

Really? Gonna go that route are you?

You're quitting. Makes you a quitter. You don't have to take that as a bad thing if you don't want to. Be proud of it. Your choice.

 

[LuckyShot]

We're playing on the road against the champs and maybe the best shooting team to ever play the game...I'd avoid calling us pathetic...they did this to the Spurs and a lot of teams...these are games a young team like us needs to fight through.

And we've also done this to them.

 

[Rhal]

Warriors are 8 three pointers away from the single game record.

 

[Draco]

No one withing 10 feet of Rush there. Just awful defense

They move the ball and people so well eventually your defense breaks down. Its like playing chess and always having to choose between sacrificing your queen or king.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We can still win. We just need to really be aggressive and pyshical defensively. Coming back from down 20 happens so much these days.

 

[Elton]

Lets see what happens at halftime, and if he can channel it to something positive. Get his mind right. Who knows?

I get the feeling he's gonna force it and just lay an egg that will probably cost us the Orlando game too.

 

[Rhal]

We can still win. We just need to really be aggressive and pyshical defensively. Coming back from down 20 happens so much these days.

Well we can still win if they shot 10% from 3 for the rest of the game and we shoot 60%.

 

[EGame]

lol alright troll whatever you say.

 

[Draco]

Warriors can't guard us

When they score 80 a half they could have 5 James Harden's guarding us and it wouldn't matter.

 

[Strenuus]

Warriors are 8 three pointers away from the single game record.

The way they've been hitting them, they'll get that by the end of the 3rd.

God I hope that doesn't happen.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Well we can still win if they shot 10% from 3 for the rest of the game and we shoot 60%.

We do have a mad Dame in the locker room...

 

[Rhal]

The way they've been hitting them, they'll get that by the end of the 3rd.

God I hope that doesn't happen.

I coudl care less if they get it or not, I want to see us come out and show some fight. Were getting run over, lets try and ramp up the energy and give them a bloody lip before we get knocked out.

 

[Strenuus]

I get the feeling he's gonna force it and just lay an egg that will probably cost us the Orlando game too.

If he rattles off a 10-0 run early, then it's okay. But if Stotts has the starters out there and we're still down 20+ in the 4th... that'd be on Stotts, not Lillard. (Hopefully we aren't down by that much.)

 

[Rhal]

I'll say something M and M used to say all the time during Roy's first two years. If we can get it to single digits by the 3rd we have a shot.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Oh yeah. Great adjustments Stotts. What's next...gonna bench Lillard tomorrow and play Pat?

I'm not sure what adjustment Stotts could make to beat this team...what's your opinion?

 

[kjironman1]

How many times do you see a team with 61 points in the first half and still be down by 20?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Bill Walton is the hardest announcer to listen to ever

 

[Elton]

If you want to be the best you have to play against the best. We gain more as a team battling against the Warriors.

These aren't ordinary circumstances. They are shooting lights out and getting every benefit of the whistle. The Warriors are demonstrably superior when playing well. It's a question of energy and spiritual depletion.

 

[Draco]

Ok lets see if we can get close early in the third. If not yank the starters and think about Orlando. It's fine to lose tonight but don't want to wear guys out trying to make a blowout respectable then lose tomorrow to the Magic.

 

[Tunchi]

Blazers gave up 81 in the 1st half?!

 

[riverman]

Enjoy the game....otherwise, what's the point? We could come out and win the second half, lose the game still and make it respectable..time for guys to step up and fans to cheer...if it makes folks so f'ing miserable...why watch?
