GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ SPURS - 1/17/14, FRIDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

I'm right here.

Where? I don't see you anywhere.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why only 2 pages? Where is everybody??

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

You're absolutely right. His game speaks for itself. You just don't understand its language.

You took a very short post about LA's career best performance as an opportunity to assert things I did not say, and drone on about FG% devoid of the context of what LA does for the Blazers as a team, in order to disparage LA. It's Pelton syndrome. If I didn't know better, I'd say you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. lol

It's Friday, a lot of people cashed their paychecks and went to Mrs HCP's.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

This game is intense. AND 1! BATUUUUM!

 

[LuckyShot]

YES! Nic needs to take it all the way to the basket from time to time. He always looks to pass in the pick and roll.

 

[Darkwebs]

Mo! And one!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Blazer playing really good D, like REALY good.

MO AND 1! lol

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Mo! And one!

jinx

 

[Darkwebs]

Mo should've passed it there

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Portland's D is improved

 

[Darkwebs]

jinx

LOL

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Ginobili doesn't launch that full court shot if this game doesn't mean everything to SA. It's gonna be a grind. GO BLAZERS!

 

[illmatic99]

Mo didn't even try on that pick. WTF man. This guy is our worst defender.

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR

With his first 3-pointer tonight, Wesley Matthews becomes the only NBA player to date with 100 3-pointers in each of the past 4 seasons.

 

[LuckyShot]

Portland's D is improved

Yeah. We gave up less than 60% shooting in the 1st quarter. That actually is an improvement.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman

End of 1st: #Blazers-Spurs tied 27-27, both shooting 52% from field, 67 from deep. Dame has 8 pts, Parker has 8 pts. So ... pretty even.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Another jumper from Duncan. Horrible.

Duncan shoots about 60% of his shots in the paint, and his FG% is the same as LMAs. It's a changeup

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Yeah. We gave up less than 60% shooting in the 1st quarter. That actually is an improvement.

lol

 

[Darkwebs]

Strong move by CJ, but he couldn't get the roll

 

[Darkwebs]

Uh oh, our bench really needs to step up their game

 

[LuckyShot]

CJ looks like he's struggling to find his niche. I think he'd be better off if he just looked for scoring opportunities.

 

[Darkwebs]

TRob with the hustle bucket

No. I called BS about your statistics insinuating that we should join you on the "Faith in the Blazers=God L-Train", and I showed a multitude of stats showing that LMA's actually worse at what he does all the time than he was last year, and roughly 150th in the league at being effective at it. Since you don't know better, I'll go with the "if disagreeing with you is wrong, I don't wanna be right!" Coming To America life.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

... Looked pretty vertical. Might have leaned a bit.

I'll address you discontent in that thread. Let's not derail a great game thread with your animus for LA.

 

[BrianFromWA]

This isn't Homer's Edge. You have to bring it here, and made-up stats get called out.

Now, back to the game, I like what Freeland's doing on D.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a move by Manu, but Joel gets the stop!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Matthews drawing a double. lol Finally, Mo got a mid-range to drop.

Please do.
