GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ WARRIORS - JANUARY 26, 2014 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[PapaG]

Is it time to start worrying about not making the playoffs again? This is how we play at full strength, and pretty soon Batum, our most irreplaceable player, will have to sit out for an extended period.

Yes. I would freak out and shit my pants because the team lacked energy in the 2nd half of their 8th game in 12 days.

 

[PapaG]

You know... I really hate listening to MB. At least Rice is entertaining because of the crazy stupid shit he says, but MB has just had the most uninformed, droning banter lately. It's like he has this hat full of BS to spew, and whenever he can't think of anything to say to fill in silence, he just recycles some garbage from his hat of crap. Hell, according to him, the ref's walk on water during timeouts.

I like the job Barrett does, and think Portland is very lucky to have him as the Blazer play-by-play announcer.

This is what happens when I miss a game thread. Sorry.

● Robinson has no offense that doesn’t involve being directly under the rim. If it’s not instinctive, and he’s forced to improvise, chances are he will make a very poor decision, and probably turn the ball over.

● Mo reaches too much on defense and gets called for a foul every time.

● Freeland and Lopez were the lone bright spots in a horrible game, although I have to give Wes credit for taking it to the rim and playing tough inside.

● Portland really had no business leading going into the half, so that’s a good thing too I suppose. They looked whipped from the tip.

Still have doubts as to who the MVP of the Blazers is? When LA struggles, the Blazers have little chance to win. Shooting 2-14 is his worst game of the season. LA had a double-double, but that’s says more about how valuable LA is when 10pts/11reb is his worst game of the season. Picking up 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter, and a technical instigated by Shit Brick Bogut, certainly didn’t help him get going.

Too many Portland missed shots (.337 FG% /.286 3P%) and way too many really lazy, unforced turnovers. This game had little to do with GS’s defense, and more to do with tired Blazer legs and brains (12 pts in the 3rd and 19 pts in the 4th). Inconsistent officiating just added insult to injury. GS drew 8 fouls and forced 7 turnovers in the 3rd quarter alone. This is what happens when your team is dead tired and nothing goes their way.

GS had lost 5 of their last 7 games before tonight. This was GS’s 2nd game played in 6 nights, against Portland team playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back and 7th game in 10 nights. This was easily Portland’s worst game of the year – just bad basketball. There nothing to take away from this game. Toss it and move on.

● Next two games vs GS are in Portland, neither are the 2nd of a back-to-backs for GS - funny how it always seems to work out that way.

● And I hope Kevin Love misses the rest of the season from eating too much Taco Bell. Want to be popular in sports? Get a commercial deal.

No big deal. Every team has nights like this during an 82 game season.

Economic thinking. Put this one behind us and move on to the next game.

A positive: the crowd gets chicken nuggets from Jack in the Box if their opponent shoots less than 75% from the FT line. It was exciting for them early on but then we started hitting most of them and stopped them from getting the free chicken nuggets.

Go Blazers!!

Since the 17th of January, they have played 7 games with only the 19th, 22, and 24th off.

Rather unusual to stuff that many games into 10 days isn't it?

It's status quo for the Blazers.

I always feel like we get jobbed by the schedulers.

To offset getting jobbed by the schedulers can your mom give me a job of the blow or hand variety?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We aren't even down that much right now. Someone have Bogut kick Mo in the balls real quick.

Yes, please!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We look like we've given up already.

yes, this is the first time I ever felt that this year.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Because he's a vet coming off the bench to hold it together. Instead he is just flat out stinking up the joint.

I think that is what surprises me the most about Mo, he is a vet with so many years of experience yet keeps making really stupid mistakes.

You realize this is the linked thread to the Blazers homepage, right? Classless by even the most remote standards...and they wonder why game threads lose posters?

Really that is worse that the hundreds of shits, fucks, damns and every other thing that comes out of these threads. These threads have always been a mixture of play by play, cursing and having fun with each other basically it is the exact opposite of what is allowed at the Moda Center.

 

[cmeese47]

FUCK! COME ON WES

Dame's mom needs to slap the shit out of him.

COME THE FUCK ON

Terry needs to beat this team senseless. Make them stay out on the court and make these fuckers run sprints for four hours. Zero effort. Just disgusting.

Ever since bogut spread his pussy we've been playing 8 on 5 and let it get to our heads because of fatigue.

FUCKING A what the fuck is up with these passes?!?!

Just as a follow up here is a small sample size of some of the classy things that get said in the Blazers chat. Not that the Blazers care because if they did they would moderate in house. Nate has the mouth of a sailor and no one from Blazer brass is beating down his door to edit his comments.

Fellatio is a wonderful thing made even better with the involvement of someone's mother. If you do not like Fellatio or Cunnilingus for the ladies then you do not like America and if you do not like America then you can just get out.

AM-UR-KA!

F-Ya!

Would that be your first?

Stotts summarized the game pretty well in a press game interview. We usually have guys pick up the slack when someone has an off night. Unfortunately, just about everyone had an off night.

Personally, I would rather see McCollum get some of Mo's minutes. The guy dribbles the ball around way too much and makes horrible decisions.

 

[BBert]

I think Mo would be more effective if we reduced his decision making 'opportunities'. IOW: He should be a SG, not a PG. He seems like a good shooter, but it seems like he consistently shoots 3-9 in games. Why is that? Bad shot selection?

Stotts is slowly working CJ into the scheme. The handwriting is on the wall. CJ is the future.

Another slight annoyance about one of our guards is how much Lillard gets swatted when he takes it to the rack. He needs to learn how to be more creative. To me, it looks like he commits to the shot to early and its easy for shotblockers.

When I see him drive he has his head down and it looks like he is caring more about getting the foul then actually trying to finish. That works when you get the call like kyrie/rose would but Lillard needs to watch some video on parker and look to finish first and go for the +1 second
