GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - DECEMBER 7, 2014 - SUNDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSN

MB: I didn't just jinx you, you'll have 15 boards in Detroit.

Aldridge: Maybe 20

MB: *Drops the mic*

 

[Strenuus]

Another Rolo huge board is why I would rather have him in the game late over Kaman

This.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I hope this is the start of our 3 point shooting coming back around

 

[riverman]

Been awhile since we had one of these adrenaline rush endings in a game.

 

[magnifier661]

Jinxspeed strikes again!!!!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I think we lose this without Blake.

And we got him for the vet minimum! Such a steal.

 

[Boise Blazer]

The jinx, the jinx, the jinx is on fire!

Blake, Kaman and Rolo have all been steals.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Would have been nice to have either MEM or OKC lose but this is why it's important to beat the teams you are supposed to beat

 

[HailBlazers]

Blake, Kaman and Rolo have all been steals.

Olshey as well.

I think I'm not going to make the "who you want to win" threads. I think they are jinx threads

 

[magnifier661]

Olshey as well.

Well technically he came to Allen. But he was stealing players for nuttin'

 

[riverman]

Olshey as well.

Thow Stotts on that list

I can't do those..they are like flashing yellow lights at a crosswalk. I can really only honestly root for the Blazers and for the others, just let it unfold and bring em on!

In the end, we need to keep the pressure on them and take care of business on our end. I'm sure they are saying "man we can't shake these guys!"

The posts are, by virtue of being intended to help the Blazers, telling us to root for the underdogs in all the matchups, so naturally we're not going to have a high hit rate. I still like the posts!

 

[riverman]

Anyone else notice what a beast Lamarcus has turned into? He can literally back down any big man in the game and keep his forward motion. Man is he stronger than ever. He's playing unbelievable basketball.

So much this.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Great tweet BrianfromWA! Made it to the post game show!

 

[julius]

It's telling that this team is winning games even when their shot isn't falling or they're not playing great. Last year there were hints of it, but if they weren't hitting it was significantly harder for the team to win.

This year, they're still grinding out games.

which one? Schonz? Or Quincy Acy?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Acy.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Crabbe is a broke man's Roy, which is still pretty dang good. We can't lose him.

Outside of the light skin and the facial hair, I see no similarities between Crabbe and Roy whatsoever.

His playing weight has been 270 since last season.

He's a bully at this size.

They both played basketball... though you could say Crabbe plays way better defense (in that he plays any defense at all), so even then they aren't similar

That and Kaman shoots every time he touches it. That's semi ok as a backup. Not OK when we have starters on the floor.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I think that's because he's been told to do that...

 

[BBert]

I think that's because he's been told to do that...

No doubt. With the second unit. At this point I fear it's a habit. I like Rolo in at the end anyway.

Me too, but I like knowing the truth instead of going half-cocked on assumptions. So I'm asking my friend Clipper Rich about Kaman's trigger finger, and any potential itchiness...

...he says "yes, all the time."

So there you have it. Rolo at the end always.
