Game Thread GAME# 75: KINGS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 28, 2016 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

We've won 3 of our last 5 and the two we lost were tied at the end of regulation.

If you're including the LAC game, we technically weren't tied at the end of regulation...

 

[KingSpeed]

Kings had 8 players in double figures last night and scored 133. We need to take them more seriously on defense.

You know what I mean.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Offensive goaltending damnit!

Hey, if you can say technicalities, can't I?

 

[KingSpeed]

This is gonna be a tough game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Offensive goaltending damnit!

Right?

 

[Tunchi]

Man Blazers defense is as bad ever latley

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lillard!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Harkless with a great first shift.

 

[LuckyShot]

Are you serious? His hook has been good all year. The Mikes were saying he should do it more and I agree.

I think he shoots better on jump shots from the elbow, and that's not a shot I want him taking regularly either.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rondo, DMC, and Gay are proven cancers. Kings look better without them.

 

[BBert]

We can't loose!

LOL

They seem to hustle more. They're certainly beating us in that category.

I think you're wrong.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame has like 0 defensive ability to begin with-- takes wrong angles on picks and doesn't move well laterally. Our lack of rim protection is making him look worse.

 

[KingSpeed]

They seem to hustle more. They're certainly beating us in that category.

Yep. And faster. And less selfish. They could blow us out if we're not careful.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think you're wrong.

I wish we had stats on this one. Personally I feel like he shoots less than 40% on that running hook shot.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Blazers Edge in da house.

 

[LuckyShot]

Crabbe getting his groove back?

 

[LuckyShot]

McLemore looks bad.

 

[illmatic99]

Jesus. These straight line drives to the rim that we're allowing... smh

 

[KingSpeed]

Vonleh wasn't in very long

 

[LuckyShot]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Terry plays Dame too long in the first quarter? I'd prefer to play him a little less in the first, and let him play a tad longer into the 3rd. It's that late 3rd quarter that we always seem to lose ground.

 

[LuckyShot]

Control the boards and our dumb turnovers and we've got this.

No. Dame needs to be out there to give CJ a break. Plus, I like our star player getting a chance to feel out the game for a full quarter before sitting down.

You'd think. Go Blazers.

There's a lot of things that Terry does that nobody understands.

Curry talking smack to CJ....shut up, you are NOT your brother, douche-dip. Get back to us when you're carrying a playoff team on your back.

Brian Roberts?

We're making up for all the wide open 3s we missed against the Clippers.
