Game Thread GAME# 70: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - MARCH 18, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[HailBlazers]

Fuck Kendrick Perkins, fake tough guy.

That is all.

 

[KingSpeed]

If Leonard went 0-5 tonight, people would've crucified him. Why does Harkless get off easy?

 

[Sinobas]

Takes too much energy?

Chip Kelly wouldn't be afraid to try it.

 

[Sinobas]

If Leonard went 0-5 tonight, people would've crucified him. Why does Harkless get off easy?

Because Harkless brings more to the game than a jump shot?

 

[Strenuus]

Bones did it for us. Remember?

 

[riverman]

omg did Wessy just get hurt? Nooooo ironman!

what happened?

 

[kjironman1]

Not so sure but you are correct. They would be looking for the Tar and Feathers.

 

[Jade Falcon]

what happened?

Yeah, what happened? Wes is one of my all time favs!

 

[Strenuus]

Not so sure but you are correct. They would be looking for the Tar and Feathers.

Eh. He's proven me wrong more and more lately, so you wouldn't hear it from me anymore.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

22 games of 30 or more for Dame and he is not an allstar...woot

 

[DUB]

3PM-A(%)
Us - 9-27 (33.3%)
Them - 10-21 (47.6%)
We had 11 3PA at quarter time, so really took a lot less for the rest of the game.

FTM-A(%)
Us - 36-40 (90%)
Them -22-28 (78.6%)
No Trail Blazer missed more than one free throw, Plums was 7-8, Dame was 12-12.

Reb
Us - 45
Them - 34
I wonder how many second chance points we had? Their Davis only had 1 rebound in half a game.

Turnovers (points off turnovers)
Us - 12 (13)
Them -7 (10)
We had almost double their turnovers, but they didn't hurt us on the scoreboard.

Fastbreak points
Us - 4
Them - 15
Tired legs. We always seem to play better when we get out, and run.

Or Crabbe...he had like one point all night

 

[oldmangrouch]

If Leonard went 0-5 tonight, people would've crucified him. Why does Harkless get off easy?

Because nobody is trying to claim he is a future star? The other day, someone here (who shall remain nameless) said they would rather have Leonard than Ben Simmons.

 

[illmatic99]

what happened?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Ouch!

I feel sorry for Wes.

 

[DUB]

Could be ankle ligaments, could be knee ligaments, could be just a sprain. Getting up and walking is no indication, as you can often keep going until the ligaments cool down.

 

[Strenuus]

Tunchi stopped responding after we got the lead back and won. Not shocked.

 

[DUB]

Henderson was big for us tonight 19 pts 6 reb. This is the Henderson I thought we were getting, not the one at the start of the season. It's great to see him come back from injury.

He came back and played. In true Wesley fashion .

 

[Strenuus]

So, after Sunday... we are on the west coast for the rest of the season.

 

[Scalma]

I like how fans outside of Portland think plumlee has no business getting into altercations because he'd get his ass kicked. I would put all my money on plumlee kicking Kendrick's slow unathletic ass.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

damn..Hendo had a good game

 

[DaLincolnJones]

well...he is no J Prizz Dog

That would be me...I'm not that impressed with Ben Simmons..if he comes into the league and lights it up next season, I'll eat that crow

 

[DUB]

Ed Davis with a double double 10 pts 10 reb.

 

[Scalma]

well...he is no J Prizz Dog

He's more athletic. I'd like to see Kendrick try to land something

 

[kjironman1]

Perkins only started at Plumlee when he figured out there were 2 guys between them to make sure it never went to blows. This is consistent with Perkins, Talks and looks real tough but never actually does anything but give a cheap shot that gets him thrown out.
Plums was all for getting in his grill but he had too many people in the middle and he went to check that Lillard was okay first.

 

[riverman]

Plumlee is a high character guy...he doesn't have to prove anything to anybody

 

[DUB]

Dame not too far away from a triple double 33 pts/8 reb/6 ast.

If Aminu 1-4, Crabbe 0-3, Harkless 0-2, or Henderson 0-2 had have hit a few more threes; who knows?

 

[illmatic99]

Speaking of Wessy, dude, AC! Stop fouling! Move your feet on defense, and quit reaching. Crabbe needs to seriously watch some Wes Matthews tapes
