Game Thread GAME# 80: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - APRIL 11, 2015 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

[KingSpeed]

I really have no idea why were playing Lopez, Lillard and Batum at all in the 4th anyway.

We still had outside shot at HCA.

 

[magnifier661]

No. Sad because Lillard and CJ had it rolling in the 4th and then all of the sudden we fell apart.

Fuck we lost?!?!

 

[barfo]

The good news is the Blazers gave me a cat killer gift bag!

FTFY.

[KingSpeed]

Game over, get the next one!

Or no. Leave all the stars at home and let OKC win while we rest for playoffs.

We still had outside shot at HCA.

The 4th seed is the toughest HCA matchup. I think it's better if we are on the road.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Of course the Jazz get the offensive rebound ...

Batum 8 assists 1 turnover

Completely negated by his 1-10 shooting performance, including 0-6 from 3.

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck we lost?!?!

Yes.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is really cool, the players haven't left for the locker room left, they're standing at the edge of the court giving select season ticket holders their jersey.

 

[KingSpeed]

That might've been first time this year that we had three 20+ scorers. Also, CJ and Crabbe set career highs.

Gross

 

[riverman]

Not enough second half Meyers for some reason

 

[Rhal]

Looking at the effort on D and boxing out/rebounding, it really seems like the team knew this game ment nothing.
Stotts has gotta do a better job in the future on firing the team up for pointless games.

 

[HailBlazers]

Fuck we lost?!?!

Played like shit and the refs were downright horrible

Looks like we have no choice. Damn, that was our season closer at home and we lose to depleted Jazz. If we win first round, tonight won't matter though,

Saves on the laundry bills

Played like shit (sans CJ and Crabbe), and the refs were downright horrible

So missing the game was a good idea? I was about to watch it

Lillard played extremely well. His drives were incredible.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

There are 4 guys dressed in old school Jazz uniforms, really short shorts. They're still here taking pictures with fans. It's hilarious.

I think the Blazers punted in Brooklyn. I actually think they would rather play on the road so they don't lose one of their first games

You'd give your left nut for a sweat drenched Rolo jersey.

Aside from my normal "sky is falling" routine after a loss like this... guys, the sky really is falling on the Blazers' season. They are out in 5 in the first round, regardless of their opponent, if this is the performance we can expect. Aldridge or no.... come on, guys.

This is one of my biggest knocks on Stotts. He doesn't know how to motivate a team over the course of 82 games (see major letdown losses this year).

FTM/A
Us - 17/22 77.3%
Them - 33/42 78.6%

That's the game right there.

Also got beaten on the boards.

Reb
Us - 39
Them - 48

OReb
Us - 9
Them - 15

And jacked way too many 3's.

3PM/A
Us - 6/30 20%
Them - 6/17 35.3%

Too bad he was broke from three

3rd qtr we played really well

Bro, our offense is so predicated to Aldridge's game. When he's out, it completely disrupts our offense. Our players don't have a "without Aldridge" offense.

It's worth more if you don't wash it.

Out in 5? Come on that really is the sky is falling. Toss this game out we didnt care nor had our best player.

They showed those guys a lot on the Jazz broadcast.

Agree, 100%. We TRIED to win this game and couldn't even muster a home victory over the short-handed Jazz. That's a major red flag. We came out flat, tried to comeback, and fell short. It's been the same dan story all year long. Where's the passion? The fire? The intensity?
