How the heck is this shit team within a point of us?

 

[kingslayer]

Who the hell is this Bjelica person

 

[BBert]

How the heck is this shit team ahead of us?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lol at the little kid in the Aminu dunk replay!

FTs mostly.

 

[Draco]

Clippers are going to average 40 FT's against us.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Clippers are going to average 40 FT's against us.

And Doc Rivers will still be bitching to refs there should be 30 more FTs

 

[Strenuus]

lol. 9-2 run to end the half.

 

[LuckyShot]

I think it's time for us to start practicing playing playoff intensity defense.

 

[ripcityboy]

Who the hell is this Bjelica person

He's a player thinks he can be as physical as Bill Russell on D. Hopefully Ed Davis schools his ass in the second half.

 

[Jade Falcon]

This is fucking bullshit! We should be blowing this team out; they are NOT that good.

 

[BonesJones]

Clippers are going to average 40 FT's against us.

Seriously though

 

[Chris Craig]

How the heck is this shit team ahead of us?

Because the officials said so

 

[Draco]

We need to pack the paint more and live with giving up threes. We've made adjustments at halfs of other games; lets see what happens here.

 

[ripcityboy]

Watching George Takei disembodied head dancing around makes me want to get some strong drugs.

 

[Trackjack]

We lost focus in that quarter and need to get refocus the rest of the machine.

What we need is to play some basketball

FTM-A
Us - 6-6
Them - 15-19
Free throws is the only big difference between the teams so far. We were beating them easily until the refs decided to intervene.

Reb
Us - 19
Them - 21
We shouldn't be being out rebounded by them, especially letting them have 8 offensive rebounds.

Turnovers
Us - 8
Them - 6

Points off turnovers
Us - 8
Them - 10
Both teams being a little sloppy with the ball.

They are very talented , just very young which leads to inconsistency. They just beat golden state this week.

Wolves are better than many give credit for. Perhaps we're not as good as our recent record indicates.

This is the 3rd team in the last 8 games thats actually trying instead of resting guys. Warriors beat us and we beat Celtics.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Because the officials said so

no shit
Up 10, the refs decided to even things up

Wish it was just the refs. We have a problem fouling this year; we're ranked 29th in the league in fouls per game. We've committed almost 200 more than our opponents.

 

[ripcityboy]

Devil calls God and says "I want to organize a pickup game."

"That's no contest." Says God. "I've got all the best players."

"Yeah. But I got all the officials."

 

[Natebishop3]

If we're going to play defense like this, we're completely fucked.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard's 5th assist is the 2,000th of his career. Terry Porter is only other Trail Blazer with 2,000 assists in first four seasons.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard becomes the first NBA player with 6,000+ points and 2,000+ assists in his first four seasons since LeBron James (2003-07).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Players with 6,000+ points, 2,000+ assists in first 4 seasons: D Lillard, L James, G Hill, T Hardaway, I Thomas, T Archibald, O Robertson.

That just shows me we do get dicked by the refs more. We do not play that physical on defense, and we constantly have players getting whacked in the paint with no calls.

 

[ripcityboy]

And yet he's not an All Star.....

 

[kingslayer]

Jesus fuck! Chief pass that to Dame!
