GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - 11/23/13, SATURDAY, 7:30 PM PST, CSNNW

[Strenuus]

Last time we player Golden State, batum was on curry for all the 3rd and 4th. He completely shut him down in the third. I wonder if they do that again?

That should just be the assignment from the get-go. Don't know why we always wait.

The reason we wait is we are a better second half team. Stotts saves all the energy for the half that truly matters. I actually agree with his strategy. I wonder how we are defensively in the second half? We usually always bring it then.

We have a young team... we can play 4 quarters like that. Why not? (not saying tonight, but all season)

But we need Batum healthy. This season is a marathon, so we must play to stay healthy

Man, it's taking forever to get to this 7:30 tip. that extra half hour!

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Gramps...

Fouls. Don't want Batum having 3 fouls going into the half.

I for one would rather at least give Lillard/Williams the chance to guard the man at their position before trying the Batum alternative. Especially considering Lillard is early into his second season, and despite his defensive shortcomings, he's put effort into improving, and needs all of the experience he can get. He'll never be able to learn how to defend other top PG's in the league if he's never given the chance to actually guard them.

Ok folks, throw away your rubbers, we're going bareback on the warriors tonight! Let's go!

BTW is anyone else's league pass complete shit? The last week it won't play more than 5 mins without stopping and giving me a message about "technical difficulties". I thought it was my connection at first but I've done a little research and it seems that its consistently crappy? I guess it was only good during the trial period?

Fugging NBA.

Good point. You also give GS a half to adjust.

Also if Batum is guarding Curry then Lillard is guarding either Klay or Barnes.

They both briefly referenced how good Portland was in the last broadcast. Particularly noted Wes Matthews and I think Robin Lopez.

Yeah there is no way we can come from 20 down from these guys

Yeah said Lopez just brought them all together. A glue guy that plays "team ball"
