Game Thread GAME# 70: PACERS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 18, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Well they won that game but they acted like they didn't really want to.

 

[H.C.]

Well it looked pretty bad offensively at times.
Not surprised missing your #2

Lillard by far the best player on the court.

Another win on March 18th. I hear this is a pretty nice day.

 

[DDolla]

One down home game, 3 more to go... oh and Fawk u Evan Turner!!!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Thank Christ that's over.

 

[riverman]

Good win sans CJ

 

[BonesJones]

All this Blazers/Pacers connections they're talking about on the national broadcast but I don't think I've heard anything about KP. Maybe I missed it....

They mentioned it.

 

[EGame]

if turner plays anymore this season stotts is officially upgraded to a fucking idiot from just idiot.

 

[blue9]

Well we Aminu'd our way to a win. By that I mean, we stumbled, bumbled, and fumbled the ball through the hoop in some unreproduceable way.

 

[Jade Falcon]

"The Other Side" will be updated soon.

 

[BonesJones]

I expect us to win 5 of our next 6. 48-28 going into April would be nice.

 

[Titan]

Not the prettiest win, but a win none the less.

 

[H.C.]

@Jade Falcon
Are there even Pacers forums?
I imagine if they are they're demanding the game be replayed over the Lillard 3 point foul call on Turner.

 

[Cugel]

well Zach was nails, Hood brought it, Chief and Seth hit multiple huge threes, Kanter was competent

If I remember correctly, there aren't many. There was a team who had given up completely, and their forums were the saddest shit ever. I wanna say that's the Pacers, but I'll have to look....

Jake needs to go back to the end of the bench. Let the rooks play.

 

[BonesJones]

Looking at our schedule: I expect us to finish 9-3. 52-30.

With that record, Portland would have a 69% chance of a top 3 seed (6% of a 2, 63% of a 3) and would have a 97% chance at homecourt advantage.

 

[HailBlazers]

Callanhan man, unbearable.

Last 3 minutes of the game there wasn't a player on the floor that didn't fuck up. Turner decision making is just terrible what they see in him I don't know. But defensly was pretty solid after the 1st Qt. Zach defense is as solid then anyone on this team from blocking shots and staying in front of people and making players changing shots.

 

[James lamphear]

Due to Jake haven't play a lot minutes until this year I think he has hit a little bit of a wall on his shot.

 

[wizenheimer]

wasn't that a beautiful 4th Q?

11:03 Rodney Hood makes 16-foot pullup jump shot (Seth Curry assists) 72 - 93
10:14 Evan Turner bad pass (Cory Joseph steals)
8:47 Trail Blazers Full timeout
8:31 Enes Kanter misses 26-foot three point jumper 80 - 93
4:26 Damian Lillard offensive foul 89 - 100
4:02 Jusuf Nurkic bad pass (Bojan Bogdanovic steals) 89 - 100
2:06 Damian Lillard out of bounds bad pass turnover 91 - 100
1:35 Damian Lillard lost ball turnover (Bojan Bogdanovic steals) 91 - 100
54.0 Jusuf Nurkic offensive foul 95 - 102
29.3 Evan Turner bad pass (Myles Turner steals) 95 - 102
16.3 Evan Turner shooting foul 97 - 104

good thing Blazers were at home and Indy was shooting poorly

 

[noknobs]

Why is Turner allowed near the court? He should be locked in a storage closet for the duration of the game.

I didn't even watch the game tonight, but I can confidently say that Evan Turner sucks.

 

[kjironman1]

That was a game they needed. Nate McSCRAPPY had his team playing good SCRAPPY defense. But in true Nate Mclippitylips style he has a team that can't score at the end of games and this was a blessing for the Blazers because they sure needed a CJ bucket in the last couple minutes of that game.
Seemed like Wesley Mathews was pretty burned up about losing that game the way they did. He missed a couple threes in the last minute that would have put them in a position to win. Mathews has never liked losing and he always plays that way.

I'm glad they got this win but it sure was tough to watch the end. How does Aminu have arguably his best game of the season and still look bad doing it? I think tonight settled it. Hood should probably get the start. Though Curry sure did his part hitting timely threes when needed.

What can you say about Damian Lillard that has not been said? Glad he is the player that is leading this team.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Good win, albeit not aesthetically pleasing at times. This really needs to be a 4-0 homestand.

 

[-Ace-]

I don't know what the numbers say, but if we aren't in the bottom five for late game execution, I'd be surprised. Seems like we are just incredibly inept at using the clock and still converting at the end of games with a lead.

 

[DDolla]

Myles Turner looks like a young Aldridge out there.

 

[kjironman1]

Myles Turner looks like a young Aldridge out there.

I think he is a bit tougher. But i agree that guy is gonna be good.

 

[julius]

I hate recording the replays of the games, only to find out that both ESPN and NBCSN skipped huge chunks of the game due to "time constraints". Because of that I missed the big run in the 2nd period of both games.

Seriously NBCSN? Its 1 in the fucking mornin, nothing else is on.
