Game Thread GAME# 76: CELTICS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 31, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

[BlazerCaravan]

With two days of rest or more this season, the Trail Blazers are now 12-3 (.800).

Lots of rest in the playoffs...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

BEAT THE HEAT

 

[B-Roy]

Biggest win of the season? IMO yes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers have notched 10+ blocked shots in consecutive games for the first time since Jan.30-Feb. 1, 2012.

 

[Chris Craig]

this is a finals preview a few years down the road

Maybe this year

 

[SlyPokerDog]

TUNCHI WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Biggest win of the season? IMO yes.

That was the most intense game I can think of this season.

 

[theprunetang]

They beat my prediction! I'm very happy to be wrong!!

They are right at my prediction after tonight. I am glad they are going to surpass it.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Chief was just saving his best for playoffs..hes getting ready

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bradley's pressure is GP-esque.

Gutsy win.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

some sketchy calls this game. great win though.

 

[Scalma]

That defensive run they had there in third or fourth (forget which was too busy working on an aneurysm) was the most fun I've had watching the team this year. Aminu, Davis, and Hendo were monsters tonight. I'm not even joking when I say this...Aminu should play more center when Davis is in foul trouble or needs rest.

 

[illmatic99]

Massive massive victory. Bradley is the all star on that team.

Dispensaries no longer have to separate medical from recreational sales... Aminu picks up his game... Coincidence? I think not!

 

[Trackjack]

Great win especially when Houston lost.

 

[B-Roy]

Celtics aren't THAT dangerous, but it just so happens their biggest strength cancels out our biggest strength. They still need a star but they got a shitload of assets.

 

[Strenuus]

TUNCHI IS ON MILK CARTONS!!!

They have one of the best defenses in the league

 

[Pinwheel1]

Great game by Aminu. He made me look bad with his 3 pt shooting.

I know he's got his haters, but Greg Monroe would be huge in games like tonight, or any night where dame and cj get pressured like that.

Their interior defense is actually not that great....but their perimeter defense is amazing.

Good for them the Blazers are the worst interior scoring team in history!

 

[Strenuus]

Ye of little faith for this game (me) still had tons of hope! GOD WHAT A FUN GAME to drive home to.

When Crabbe stole that ball I was driving down Barbur and was tapping my feet furiously and trying not to get too excited... then when Aminu jammed it I was like "FUCK YES! HELL YEAH!"

I wonder what I looked like to the driver next to me?

That second half we adjusted though and attacked the rim a lot.

Yeah, Bradley, Turner, and Smart are all so good defensively. It's a terrible matchup for Portland. Lucky they're in the east.

I was doing the Chris Farley dance in the living room.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

The Celtics are a terrible matchup for us as currently constructed. This was a huge win!

That second half we adjusted though and attacked the rim a lot.

I thought we were fortunate that Aminu, Crabbe and Hendo hit so many outside shots. That's what helped us pull away initially.

I know we are all on a high from Aminu's 6/11 shooting from 3, but you're not getting that every night, even if all of his shots are wide open. We saw what happened in Dallas...

 

[theprunetang]

I know turner isn't much of a 3 point threat, but I would love to nab him somehow. He actually reminds me of Batum.

 

[Strenuus]

The song says 'love is all you need'

Hell, sometimes all you need is god damn hope! I never felt out of it while I was following it at work. And then right before we locked the doors, I saw we were up 7 and I was like NO SHIT!

Tunchi has magically disapearred once the Blazers started doing good in the game. LOL.
