GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - 12/15/13, SUNDAY, 3 PM (PST), CSNNW

I'm SO done with Mo Williams. He's a ball hogging, turnover making, flow killing, no defense playing brick machine. Give his minutes to Watson already.

Think you are being too hard on him.

Who is the reason we had a chance to win.....

Whaaat? He was the one who sparked the Blazer's fourth quarter rally. Give the guy a break.

Another nice game for Nic.

18 5 and 5, PLUS 2 steals.

Nic was huge, early and especially in the comeback.

 

[julius]

Chris webber can eat my nuts

Did he say something again or is this in reference to Thursday?

 

[OneLifeToLive]

man, I am starting to believe..

There is a reason they are 21-4. They are one of the best IF NOT THE BEST in the league.

Said "wait until they go on their 4 game eastern conference swing."

Talking about how we can't keep this up

 

[KingSpeed]

I was kidding when I was beng down on the team during the game. My husband watches more basketball than me because not only does he watch our games, but he watches most of Miami's games. He's a LeBron fan. And HE just told me we're champions. He's really impressed. He keeps telling me this isn't the Blazers team of old. He's not completely sold that we could beat Miami but he thinks it's possible. I agree.

 

[TBpup]

I don't know about giving Williams' minutes to Watson but outside of back-to-back '3's in the 4th, (certainly helped the comeback) he was 1-8 for the rest of the game. He had a nice 1 minutes stretch and the rest of the game was brutal.

 

[Natebishop3]

Robin.

Lopez.

12 points off 5-8 shooting, 13 boards (6 offensive), 3 assists, and 1 steal.

The dude is just so consistent. He is a huge reason for our success this year. Why has he not been considered for most improved?

Thats cool Miami fans are taking notice

No, There is truly something going on here...

He's a LeBron fan? Dude, that's a deal breaker.

Curious what his PER will be after this month? It seems he's become so efficient now

 

[KingSpeed]

He's from Ohio. He swore he would never watch basketball again if LeBron left Cleveland and then he saw the light and became a Miami fan.

Everybody has bad games, and the fact he was able to drop 3 straight buckets (2 threes and a layup) to grab some momentum is enough for me to say he belongs in the lineup.

Yup. If he makes a pass instead of jacking up a shot in just half of the possessions where he was the only one to touch the ball, we wouldn't have needed a spark in the 4th quarter, we'd have been up by six or eight points.

 

[Strenuus]

Without Mo's two big 3's, the run would have never happened.

Miami is not of the light. Miami is of the darkness.

He was brought in for his instant offense impact. He is only doing what I believe Olshey has asked him to do. To be a 'scorer' off the bench

The bench is better, but how much better are they without him. I think you all need to take a step back and take another look at it.

Well, I guess the same can be said about Lillard....Fact is, the team plays well together, and Mo is a big part of the team.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Fuck you

Signed,
Lillard

hgahhahhahhahahhahahahahaaaaa King, Brother, harsh...

 

[Sinobas]

I think Mo needs to figure out that he's not on the Jazz anymore. On a crummy team I can see him pressing more, but he needs to reign in in a bit.

no shit..D I V O R C E !!!

Maybe some, but I believe his on court personality has propelled the team to a few of their victories. Especially earlier on.

yeah..

 

[BBert]

Unless some other player made a play. We'll never know. I am glad he had his minute of glory, it definitely helped.

 

[noknobs]

There aren't many 2nd year players who can be 5-20 for the floor but still be the person I wanted to take the last shot in OT.

I would have turned this game off earlier in the season when we were down 13 in the 4th. Just didn't seem like our night, but like they've down so many times they just found a way to win.

 

[TBpup]

Of course they do but Williams ball-pounding dribbling exhibition has been going on all season...as has the bricklaying shooting statistics. Certainly glad they won and Mo is better than anyone they had last year but it certainly is not an area of strength.
