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

[SlyPokerDog]

Yeah, I've been cringing almost every shot he's taken the last couple games, since they've all been so poor lately.

They're only poor when he misses.

 

[Strenuus]

Our starting 5:

17-55

LMA 2-14.

Our best? Lopez 4-7.

Like I said after that OKC game last week, I can't wait to play these fuckers in Portland. I hope they're also on the 2nd night of b2bs and tired as shit.

Neither of the games in Portland are b2b for GS, so bs..

 

[Rastapopoulos]

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.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Damn we should have just drove in and kicked to Freeland all night. Bloke can't miss.

 

[Strenuus]

31 points in a half. Lowest scoring night of the year, worst shooting night of the year as well. Thank god we don't have to go back there. Forget about it, get ready for Tuesday.

Green font?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

probably losing to like philly or something, but this one stings. the whole team played like putrid shit.

Except THE MIGHTY JOEL FREELAND!

 

[Strenuus]

Scratch that, 33 points in the 2nd half.

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

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.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The only plus: that's two games in a row when our bench has actually outplayed their bench. I don't think that's happened before so far this season.

(Apart from Mo Williams. I'm ready to trade him for Andre Miller - who's with me????)

 

[blue32]

Dame isn't injured. You guys saw that dunk two games ago. He's just in a shooting funk.

 

[BBert]

Fropez was our best starter tonight. He only played 24 minutes. I suppose because our other two best players were Trob and Freeland.

Wes ended up with 21 points and 11 free throws.

Worse shooting night of the season, but Freeland was 4-4 for 8 points and 7 rebounds in 11 minutes. Played some good 'D' too. Trob with 11 rebounds in 15 minutes; pity about those bone head plays when we still had a chance, though. He's young.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Mo didn't score in double digits so we lost.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame needs a jolt of.....something.

He was in a slump before he hit that gamewinner in Detroit. That got him going. Now he's down again and needs something to get his confidence back.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

10 game shooting funk for Dame.

On to the next one.

 

[BBert]

Mo didn't score in double digits so we lost.

He has a knack for momentum changing bad plays. It's like his bad plays are twice as bad as other players bad plays. Weird.

 

[BBert]

Mo didn't score in double digits so we lost.

Our best player, LaMarcus Aldridge, shot 2-14 and scored only 10 points. So we lost.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Doesn't Aldridge always struggle against David Fucking Lee? Pretty much.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Our best player, LaMarcus Aldridge, shot 2-14 and scored only 10 points. So we lost.

Was a joke because the Blazers say we are 16-2 when Mo scores in double figures.

 

[BBert]

If Aldridge has an average (for him) game, it opens up everything else, and we kill them.

Good thing this only counts as one loss.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He has a knack for momentum changing bad plays. It's like his bad plays are twice as bad as other players bad plays. Weird.

That is indeed a peculiar talent he has. If he went I'd miss his shooting but I sure as shit wouldn't miss anything else about him.

 

[BBert]

Was a joke because the Blazers say we are 16-2 when Mo scores in double figures.

I know. Don't you love meaningless stats? Like the "first to 100 wins" for example. It's like saying, if you outscore your opponent you win.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This run of games is reminding me of when Batum was playing injured last season before he finally shut it down. And that's not good.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

God point -- Batum has a good game about every four games and is having these kind of duds often.

 

[BBert]

Mo didn't score in double digits so we lost.

Was a joke because the Blazers say we are 16-2 when Mo scores in double figures.

OTOH: In this case, working backward, it's like saying: When Mo doesn't suck, we win!

Gee, that is high praise.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Who knew that when your 6th man did well then the team would likely do well?

 

[BBert]

So many players contributed to this loss, it's impossible to bag on any one of them. Just have to move on.

See ya next time.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Go home and go to bed Damian. You and the rest of the guys apparently need the rest.

 

[PapaG]

31 points in the 2nd half. I do believe that's the worst half of the year.

8th game in 12 days is bound to catch up with a team. Hopefully they get tomorrow off completely before Tuesday night's game.
