GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - 11/20/13, WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST)

[Rhal]

What a move by LMA! High off the glass

Whenever he does that move it always looks like he travels to me.

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA from the left block on hook shots: 2-2
Rest of LMA's shots: 2-6

BUT...only 2 of his 8 shots are outside 16 feet. That's a blueprint for sustainable success.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Portland 15 assists on 18 makes.

 

[B-Roy]

I never want to see Joel shoot unless he's WIDE open.

 

[LuckyShot]

Oooooooooooooo a lefty hook by Aldridge? Sweet!

 

[BrianFromWA]

I feel like Wes has been the only sustained offense tonight, and we're up 3.

And again, Freeland with the great D right before the goaltend.

 

[MARIS61]

though Middleton scored on the last one and Wolters on this one, Freeland's defense on the last two plays was outstanding. Straight up, bodying up and changing shots.

A more accurate way to say that is Joel got scored on twice in a row.

 

[Rhal]

Batum makes some very nice passes. Mathews and Nico always seem to be on the same page this year.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yeah, Henson, you can take that all game long. Please.

 

[BrianFromWA]

A more accurate way to say that is Joel got scored on twice in a row.

True, but if that was Leonard or Hickson they would've had and-ones on much easier shots.

 

[Darkwebs]

Good D there by Dame on Ridnour

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Milwaukee announcer on Wesley Matthews.

"He has a dog named Cash, he's been money tonight."

 

[Rhal]

Lillards D, although its still not something i'd consider even average, is light years better then last year.

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice hang time there by Lillard for the and-one reverse lay up

 

[BrianFromWA]

That was...gross.

 

[DaLong]

Milwaukee announcer on Wesley Matthews.

"He has a dog named Cash, he's been money tonight."

Yeah I laughed out loud at that one.

 

[Rhal]

Well that was a bad foul

 

[B-Roy]

Wow Lillard....if you're going to foul him, at least foul him.

 

[Darkwebs]

Why does Ridnour play like a superstar every time against us?

 

[Rhal]

I'm still speechless of that foul, we have to work on ending quarters/halfs better.

 

[DaLong]

Why does Ridnour play like a superstar every time against us?

He's always been decent IMO. It's just that he generally makes more mistakes and misses more shots over a large sample size than most PGs that aren't backups. Sometimes he's good enough to win a game, more often he's not. Could be a good complementary piece to a good team though.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Portland increased from 42% to 48.8%. Milwaukee still shooting 50%. Need more stops. That last second 3pt play hurt at the half hurt.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Is everyone still at work out there? 600+ posts in each of the last 10 game threads or so, and we're only at 140 so far?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Great defense, LA splash, more good D. Solid start.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Ball don't lie.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Ball don't lie. Moving pick is moving.

 

[riverman]

Love it when we step on the gas in the 3rd qtr

 

[B-Roy]

Blazers always come out ready to play in the second half.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

I just don't get the same sense of us having to struggle or be lucky to own games this year. Last year everything felt like we were walking on a tightrope because of Hickson's "defense" and our un-NBA-worthy bench. Now look at us. Olshey you da man.

 

[riverman]

Love Robin but sometimes he should just dunk those
