GAME THREAD: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 4, 2014, SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, CSNNW

You aren't going to get a foul call on a last shot drive. It's not going to happen.

Unless you're LeBitch James.

 

[Rhal]

Well that sucks... our D is pathetic and definitely needs adjustment.

Lillard misses easy layup. Sucks. Like Miami game with ALdridge. How do we not make those?

 

[B-Roy]

Blaming the refs lol. The Blazers lost this one themselves.

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

Damn Lillard, missed an open layup with your right hand?

 

[LuckyShot]

Just about as bad as we can play. Not sure if I should be happy we only lost by 2 at the buzzer, or pissed.

 

[blue9]

the team needs to learn from these losses.

Play defense for more than 3 minutes out of 48.

And do more than just shoot jumpers.

 

[illmatic99]

I'd rather take a Dame step back than that shot

 

[RipCity71252]

The officials were absolutely horrid late in the game. And we couldn't buy a shot.

Fuck that game.

Blaming the refs lol. The Blazers lost this one themselves.

Yup. Went cold at a bad time, played horrible defense, and made bad decisions with the ball.

Nic played horribly today. Definitely his worst game of the season.

 

[MadeFromDust]

What a huge loss and a terrible game to watch. How depressing.

If this was against Playoff competition do you think we would have been in a position to win at the end? I don't either.

I don't dispute that at all. The refs sure as hell made it more difficult.

Unless you first catch the ball in the back court illegally

 

[riverman]

If there were ever a time to shoot a deep 3, uh...this was it

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

The bad calls by the refs were waaaaay too desperation to be something to complain about for this loss. I agree, couple of calls that probably should have gone the Blazers way, but they were such stretches to try to win the game I don't think anyone should use that as the excuse.

 

[RoyToy]

Fuck Mo Williams for missing that layup

 

[Rhal]

We had a horrible last 8m of the fourth. We will have games that we can't hit the broad side of a barn and those games the D will need to step it up and wev had way too many close games where we have had the D step up at the end of the game that maybe we just assume our D will be there under 3.

Outside of a couple good quarters by LMA, everybody played terribly tonight. Well, except Lopez and Leonard. LMA was shit down the stretch, Wes was terrible for all but a few possessions, Lillard sucked the whole game.

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

This was just a really flat effort on all of the players' parts from start to finish. Even with a few bursts of fight, they always took their foot off the gas and settled in when they got a little bit of a run. Just didn't seem interested in playing this game at all.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dame still doesn't understand that trying to get a layup as a game winner is a bad idea.

Lillard dunked the game winner in our win over Phoenix. He should've dunked it here too.

 

[Strenuus]

Sky.

Fell.

 

[BBert]

Unless you're LeBitch James.

I was thinking Harden. Or anyone on Flop City.

 

[MarAzul]

Shit it looks like Damian had a definite shooting percentage correction night to make up for Charlotte.

 

[riverman]

Well, gotta get the next one..we stunk up the Moda Center on this night.

 

[Natebishop3]

Lillard dunked the game winner in our win over Phoenix. He should've dunked it here too.

It's still a bad idea. Teams are going to hammer you, and you can't expect the refs to bail you out with a couple seconds in the game. It's just not a good idea.

 

[craigehlo]

The Blazers are coming down to earth. We need to chalking up wins with Westbrook and CP3 sidelined. Instead they lose to freaking Philly?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I don't know what some of you are bitching about, I'm the only who predicted we wouldn't lose a game this year. The rest of you predicted we would lose some games. This is one of the ones you predicted.

 

[blue9]

That never happened. Hawes jumped from behind the line, caught the ball, was fouled while catching the ball, then landed.

 

[B-Roy]

Getting jumped at the start of the game.

All the missed free throws (Wes+Robin)

18 turnovers (Batum and Dame)

All the missed shots

They deserved to lose this game.
