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

Or go into the paint and get fouled.

he is not getting a lot of that love...he did this one, but more often than not he does not on the road unless he is hot

Batum can't guard smith to save his life

This looks like a really bad match-up for him. Smith is too strong and too agile. I think he's probably got quicker post moves than LBJ and Durant. Nic generally has success making those guys beat you with jumpers, but Smith is just backing Nic down deep. Need some help-defense in the paint.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I love mo williams speed

hoop fam

That is what I really like about his game too. He really gets up the court fast. He sends the defense into chaos mode.

Aldridge is beast

Actually, the last few games he's been getting the calls.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Great D! And monEEE! Sexy

 

[Strenuus]

Oh Batum. That was nice.

 

[magnifier661]

Batum!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice move by Nic. That didn't look good though

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

RUN RUN RUN till your daddy takes the t-bird away. lol

 

[DaLincolnJones]

foul?

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Who is that big meat of a man? Good lord.

 

[magnifier661]

But smith getting bitch slapped by Aldridge. He used to be able to guard him in Atlanta

 

[Elton]

This Detroit team is an odd duck. The sum of the parts just doesn't add up. It seems like they should be dominant with that starting 5 talent. Maybe it's Cheeks.

Yeah, that's it

 

[blue9]

Lillard needs to dribble towards the hoop from more of an angle, so he can keep his dribble alive and pull it back out rather than just throw up a bad lay-up attempt. It was nice seeing Mo get into the paint, and dribble it back out - our team needs more of that.

I love being spoiled. I'm sitting here saying "we're not clicking at all yet, and having a sub-par quarter. Oh wait. We've scored 27."

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I just noticed the Motor City jersyes. Those are pretty cool, and every more cool being on the court with Rip City jerseys.

lol Guilty.

 

[magnifier661]

God Aldridge is soooo good

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice defense there.

 

[Strenuus]

lma with 9, Wes with 6. Not bad.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Oh.. it's Josh Heraldson. So, who's that guy again? lol

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Detroit really has an awesome squad. They are a player away from being an eastern powerhouse

hoop fam

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Feast on the east, baby!!!

Right?! I was like, "man we are slow today". Then I looked at the score

 

[DaLincolnJones]

total agreement

Yeah, it's the same way with the Ducks for me. I'll be thinking, "man they're not playing good right now," but they've scored 50 points. It's hilarious. You come to expect something from the team, so even when they're not playing great they still put up impressive numbers.

 

[magnifier661]

Nice defense there.

We honestly are getting better and better on defense as the season goes on!

 

[Elton]

Pistons should be better than they are. That starting 5 should be dominant. You can see the stark contrast in chemistry between the squads

Smith isn't a three point threat. They need at least two to give room for their bigs
