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

Terrible decision on that pass.

 

[LuckyShot]

We could be scoring even more points per game if we could go without Mo and Batum's wild passes to nobody.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Did MB just say they were up by 6? it's 3. Maybe I miss heard.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I'd like to see mo have a good game against his former squad.

Anyone notice Aldridge is near a double double in the first quarter?

 

[Strenuus]

Nice move LMA!

 

[LuckyShot]

Fuck yea, LMA.

 

[Strenuus]

LMA 10/7 already.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Nice D! OH! That was Nasty. LA lulled him to sleep and went for the two.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Wow, talk about a guard that can't finish at the rim: Waiters.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wow. Missed layup AND a wide open 3 in one possession.

 

[Strenuus]

DAMNIT! I thought LMA had that.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame used to be automatic from three.

How did LA miss that? Everyone's missing layups. yikes

 

[B-Roy]

Shots aren't falling.

 

[LuckyShot]

We are shooting like shit. Relatively speaking.

 

[Strenuus]

Bennett doesn't shoot the buzzer beater, Wheels says "Bennett protecting his shooting percentage"

 

[B-Roy]

Aldridge has 11/8 after one.

 

[LuckyShot]

Aldridge has 11/8 after one.

Can't be stopped by one man.

 

[Strenuus]

Shots aren't falling.

It's not the 3rd quarter yet.

 

[LuckyShot]

It's not the 3rd quarter yet.

Is that why our defense is so spotty too?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

LA 11 pts (5-8) 8 reb 1 ast 1 stl 1 blk


Looks like a 44/32 night for LA!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Cleveland was rolling and only leads by 2. Perfect.

 

[Strenuus]

Is that why our defense is so spotty too?

Exactly!

 

[Strenuus]

Boom! LEAD!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

DAME SPLASH!

 

[LuckyShot]

So who would you rather have? Mo or Jack?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I swear, every time they throw up that stat box and make the game play box smaller, Portland makes a great play. It's uncanny.

 

[Boob-No-More]

At Home:

Reb/G: 47.2
Opp Reb/G: 41.1
Net Reb/G: +6.1
In addition to rebounding very well at home, they also defend the 3-pointer exceptionally well at home:

Opp 3FG: 7.4-24.1
Opp 3FG%: .307

After one quarter, Cleveland is indeed defending the 3 well. Blazers are 2-6 = .333. But, at least we are out rebounding them. If that continues, I like our chances as our shooting generally picks up in the second half.

TRob! Beautiful.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Great pass my MO. Really good effort by Treb.
