Game Thread GAME# 67: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - MARCH 20, 2015 - FRIDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[MickZagger]

I don't care who you're playing. You aren't going to win if you can't get stops.

 

[DUB]

Peyton 16, 8, 8 he may get his triple double yet.

20, 9, 9

 

[B-Roy]

Dame has completely lost his 3 point shot.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Almost a mirror to the game the other night

 

[kingslayer]

20, 9, 9

Love his game lately. He's thoroughly outplayed Dame tonight, but as of late that's not hard to do.

 

[H.C.]

Batum just killed the Blazers with that inbound pass. How many fucking times can you do that, seriously? You're an NBA player and you can't throw an inbounds pass?

You do realize Lillard did the samething in the first half right? Or is that excuseable because he stole the ball 5 seconds after and forced a layup 2-1 instead of passing it to batum?
Point is, this game if the Blazers lose isn't just on batum. Don't single him out.

 

[magnifier661]

Just got back. Are we up 20?

 

[EGame]

and now that i look at the boxscore it is essentially 1 vs 5. ya lillard had his 18, but mostly in the second. hasn't done shit since.

Aldridge, as much as it pains me, really will and should be considering whether resigning here is good or not.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

i hate life

 

[kingslayer]

Hopefully tomorrow isn't ugly

 

[Duvalier]

Dame has completely lost his 3 point shot.

At least it's 4 Bar Friday.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Payton with back to back triple doubles

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lillard has fallen off a cliff.

 

[Sinobas]

Nic Batum only needs 5 turnovers and 2 points to get a triple double.

 

[H.C.]

Aldridge, as much as it pains me, really will and should be considering whether resigning here is good or not.

Oh stop it. The Blazers are going to make the playoffs. People act like this stretch of games were walk over easy wins for the Blazers.
They weren't.

 

[DUB]

Peyton 20 pts (10-13), 10 reb, 10 ast, 4 stl, 1 to

 

[Sinobas]

Afflalo and Lillard = 1-9 from 3.

 

[Darkwebs]

This road trip F-ING sucks!

 

[kingslayer]

Back to watching March Madness.

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers outscored 14-30 so far in the 4th.

 

[EGame]

Oh stop it. The Blazers are going to make the playoffs. People act like this stretch of games were walk over easy wins for the Blazers.
They weren't.

i didn't say they won't. how confident are you we make noise in the playoffs, though? Aldridge wants to be close to a championship eventually not a early exit.

and if portland is as good as we all think, miami and orlando should be wins.

 

[DUB]

We had this game, but we just completely panicked.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Lillard has fallen off a cliff.

hes become too concerned with the refs. just go back to earning it and shut up

 

[Sinobas]

Stotts needs to bench this starters for a few games and give them some rest. Why bother wasting their energy in these games when they just collapse in the 4th.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Oh stop it. The Blazers are going to make the playoffs. People act like this stretch of games were walk over easy wins for the Blazers.
They weren't.

Whose the contender here?

Miami 30-36

Orlando 21-46

There is no excuse for this.

 

[santeesioux]

Antonio Harvey said the only acceptable record on this road trip was 4-1, wonder what he's saying now. This team's playoff fortunes aren't looking so hot again.

 

[H.C.]

i didn't say they won't. how confident are you we make noise in the playoffs, though? Aldridge wants to be close to a championship eventually not a early exit.

Very confident. Especially vs the Western playoff teams. Minus Spurs/Memphis.
Bottom line is Orlando/Miami/Washington are tough teams that are playing well right now.
There is really no team in the NBA that is a "should win" for any team.

 

[kingslayer]

Memphis tomorrow night, GSW at Moda after that, then back on the road for a pair at Utah and Phoenix where we almost always seem to choke. This shit could get ugly.

so if miami and orland are apparently tough teams, yet the west is a much tougher conference especially the 7 other playoff teams, how is it they are a cakewalk? lol nice logic.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

they cant even fill their arena, what shit fans
