GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS- 12/17/13, TUES, 4 PM (PST), CSNNW

Lopez gonna have to play really smart this quarter. Put that Stanford schooling to use!

 

[Strenuus]

Offensive rebounding is the only thing keeping us in the game right now. We have 11 ORB (Lope and Aldridge with 4 apiece). Cleveland is out shooting us and they only have 2 TOVs to our 8.

Even though this stat goes hand in hand, 20-2 Blazers on SCP (Second Chance Points.... why did I abbreviate it if I spelled it out. lol.)

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

The Mike's are saying that this isn't Cleveland's pace at all. They were saying the pace favors us.

A few of those misses from Nic were wide open threes, and a couple were those weird fade-aways. I like seeing him being aggressive, but a few of those were bad shots.

Well, then it should be easier to slow it down. lol

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Mugged. LAME

 

[Boob-No-More]

Yup, 5-15 is a lot of points missed. Cavs can funnel the ball to Bynum all game if Portland can't get going there.

I'm not watching the game, just following it online (headed home to watch the second half now). Is Cleveland defending the 3 well, our are we getting open looks and just missing. I pointed out in my original post that Cleveland defends the 3 very well at home (.307). So, I'm wondering how much of it is Cleveland's defense.

Basketball is a physical sport..... so why is the NBA trying to turn it into a sport that's softer than soccer?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Freeman is my favorite writer. Just sayin.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Time to get going from the line Wes.

 

[Natebishop3]

That was a smooth move by Irving.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Wow. He got a call.

 

[Natebishop3]

Hip check under the basket. That's a foul. Glad they called it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame seems to be better at drawing fouls lately

 

[Natebishop3]

Wes is getting schooled by Kyrie.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Wes got burned. What was that?

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice move by LA!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Man move by LA.

 

[Strenuus]

Someone want to tell the Blazers it's not a pick up game?

 

[Natebishop3]

Nic is sucking balls. This might be his worst game of the season.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

That looked off by Batum. Come on Batman.

 

[Natebishop3]

How does Cleveland have such a shitty record?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Tough to get after it on D when it's all Irving ISO ball.

 

[Natebishop3]

Touch to get after it on D when it's all Irving ISO ball.

Terry needs to actually double team in this game.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

How does Cleveland have such a shitty record?

They have to play on the road. lol 2-11

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Terry needs to actually double team in this game.

He might, they did it with Smith the other night a bit.

 

[Strenuus]

Heat check on Irving. lol.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Down 6, looking like a shit 3rd, yet I'm still not worried. This team has convinced me they only lose on flukes.

 

[Strenuus]

Uh-oh. Lopez has 4. This is huge.

 

[VenomXL]

Not liking the feeling of this game.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

WTF?!?!? Wow.

 

[Strenuus]

Big 3 Lillard!
