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

[Strenuus]

Is this our most impressive win of the season?

In terms of adversity and clear agenda by the refs and the composure we had in the 4th to not fall - yes.

 

[BrianFromWA]

might be. IND with George going off is up there.

 

[TBpup]

I think I was the one that said no. :MARIS61:

That's ok....got your back Jack.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

might be. IND with George going off is up there.

That was at home though. Takes a little of the power out of it.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Is this our most impressive win of the season?

OKC x 2, Ind, and GS @ GS were more emphatic statements imo. But this one is definitely way up there. More validation for those that need it at least.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

The best part, Portland made up a whole game on SA. Now only trail by 1/2 game for best in the West.

 

[jlprk]

Ginobili had a monster game, per minute. His ESPN efficiency points were double his minutes.

To see how rare that is, out of this season's top 100 performances, only Paul, Griffin, and Joe Johnson have done it.

and we're 2-0 against the best in the west which should make us...the best in the west

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Huge win! Maybe the biggest of the season!

One thing I learned tonight, CJ cannot guard Manu

 

[riverman]

We could beat last years win record before the allstar break!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

One thing I learned tonight, CJ cannot guard Manu

Really though, who can when he's on?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Allen Crabbe's happy about the win:

On our team, Wes and Nic can

 

[oldmangrouch]

Magnificent win...and I had to miss it!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Is this our most impressive win of the season?

I thought the win in GS, 2nd half of a back to back, huge comeback to win the game was more impressive.

 

[Pinwheel1]

One thing I learned tonight, CJ cannot guard Manu

One thing I know is it takes rookies quite few times facing good players before they learn how to guard them. He may have gotten schooled, but it is part of the learning process.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

CJ has a sweet floater. Love the look of it.

 

[BBert]

Manu passes to his teammate... Too bad it was a ref.

But true.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

and we're 2-0 against the best in the west which should make us...the best in the west

No, you have to sweep them... at least that's the next story on ESpin.

 

[MarAzul]

Magical stuff! 30 wins before the halfway mark.

Now If Terry S. can keep them working to improve, improve, more efficient.
Damn! The finish to this season will be fun.

Missed the game. Had a Varsity Girls at Milwaukie HS. I just saw that Pop got tossed!!! Over a flop?? Wow. You have to do a lot to get tossed out of an NBA game as a coach. I saw the replay and he must have been cussing that official out!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Wow... After the blocked shot Lopez has on a Ginobili drive, referee Bill "shit-for-brains" Kennedy told an objecting Stotts, "We can't get them all right." I think getting half of them right in the 2nd half would have been asking too much.

Pops knows what he is doing. He got tossed on purpose. Strategy almost worked, should have waited a little longer.

Where did you see this? Link?

The Associated Press - Game notes

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Portland 19-20 from the FT line. The Schonz is smiling.

 

[BBert]

We could beat last years win record before the allstar break!

Could? Will.

 

[BBert]

It's funny, I was at no time worried that the Blazers might lose this game. It's just that kind of season.

I was a bit when Manu's end of third prayer was answered... But we hang tough.
