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

[Blazinaway]

Obviously as proven in the past when dame always gets trapped or a good defender is on him, he gets frustrated and never gets to find his shot. That's just how it is. We don't have somebody like Bradley on Thomas. Tired of people giving Lillard shit. It's obvious as to why he's playing the way he is

sorry, he can't force all these dumb shots, needs to pass

 

[Strenuus]

Fouls 11-10 Portland. lol. did the refs try to play catch-up?

 

[KingSpeed]

It's amazing that we're just down 4 with Dame being a complete non-factor so far.

Dame has 6 points and 3 assists and has opened up opportunities for his teammates because of the defensive attention on him.

 

[Chris Craig]

Lillard needs to get his chit together

Refs need to call some fouls

 

[Blazinaway]

Dame has 6 points and 3 assists and has opened up opportunities for his teammates because of the defensive attention on him.

he should have double the assists at least, this is the type of game I'd be happy if he scored 12 pts and had 12 assists with low turnovers

Man I'm telling you, just keep this one close. Eventually the Celts will get cold and the Blazers will get hot. I give Stevens a ton of credit, if they had more skilled offensive players they could make a run at the East this year. But then maybe they wouldn't play with the same intensity, I don't know. Eventually the Celtics are going to have to pick up a superstar if they ever expect to get by LBJ in the East and it'll be interesting to see how that guy will do with a coach like Stevens.
I do have to say, however, that it is very exciting to have two young athletes like Harkless and Vonleh on your roster. Add in Dame and CJ, add a big that can really score down low and this team will be as good as any in the next few years. Future is bright my friends!

During the last 2 minutes they decided to call 3 quick fouls on Boston. Before that they had no fouls the whole 2nd quarter.

 

[Shaboid]

ESPN's website is total garbage. Can't even easily view a simple box score.

How many of the fouls in Portland's favor are on the floor vs shooting compared with Boston

 

[Blazinaway]

nice to see Hark playin so well

 

[ripcityboy]

Wonder if Ainge will make a run at Durant this offseason. Probably. God. With all their added picks and talent already.... they are on the up and up.

 

[Chris Craig]

nice to see Hark playin so well

Yeah he just needs to practice free throw shooting

 

[Strenuus]

nice to see Hark playin so well

So happy he's getting burn!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Because I want the pick.. You'll see my homersim when the season is over more

 

[Blazinaway]

Yeah he just needs to practice free throw shooting

that and 3's, if he can just shoot 35% from 3 that's big

 

[Strenuus]

that and 3's, if he can just shoot 35% from 3 that's big

I think he will starting next year. He's in a system that allows him to play.

[PHXBlazer1]

Lillards gonna get going

 

[PHXBlazer1]

fuck

 

[LuckyShot]

Great start, morons.

 

[Strenuus]

Great start, morons.

I don't know why this made me chuckle, but it did.

 

[Darkwebs]

Refs working hard to even the fouls. LOL. Blazers getting some calls now

 

[PHXBlazer1]

fucking bradley

 

[LuckyShot]

I don't know why this made me chuckle, but it did.

We do stupid shit near the half court line every game.

 

[kingslayer]

Fucking Bradley sheesh. Throughly outplaying everyone.

 

[ripcityboy]

God. I hope we get a center with some good low moves. Plumlee yuck.

 

[Cippy91]

The thing I dislike is we still have no answer to dame being trapped and locked up the way he is. Same with cj. Not really much you can do though when you don't have an inside scorer or anybody else that can score

 

[LuckyShot]

Won't last. Sometimes refs seem to like to call the calls they've been letting the players get away with just to say that they called it.

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame's not right tonight.

That's why this offseason is so key. The pick means nothing, it's all about Free Agency.
