GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ WIZARDS - FEB. 3, 2014, MONDAY, 4:00 PM, CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

Why launch 3s when LMA could have been scoring? Just a sloppy game by Portland.

Because we're a good three point shooting team? Or at least we were? Were you complaining when we won games like that earlier in the season?

 

[KingSpeed]

Thankfully.

This team is in a lot of trouble.

Tied for 2nd in West

 

[RoyToy]

Charles Barkley is right again

 

[OneLifeToLive]

It's a tired team. Remember last year when they were playing well enough to stay in playoff contention and then it went to hell. Same thing happening this year. Starters last year couldn't keep up. They are showing similar signs this year. I think the management owes it to the season to so something. Unfortunately, they have no assets. I'm slowly coming off the McCollum, Robinson band wagon

 

[jlprk]

Lillard used to be the driving force. Now he has something on his mind. Could the distraction be...blackmail from a woman?

If he puts up 25 points, 8 assists, and 6 boards while he's distracted, I hope we get to see him when he's focused.

Don't be racist. It could just as easily be white or yellow mail.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Short game

Disappointed?

Are you alleging something?

 

[Strenuus]

Tied for 2nd in West

So? Still in a lot of trouble. Playoffs don't start tomorrow, and that's about the only positive.

 

[TBpup]

They may be tied for 2nd in the West (awesome) but the way they are playing right now, they would not scare anyone in the playoffs. Since the hot start, they are basically a .500 team that shoots a lot of 3's (but not very well), doesn't play good defense and has almost no bench.

They need some help off the bench in the worst way. 6 points? Might as well through in a few guys from the local rec league for that production. Yuck!

Right now, it'd probably not be a good idea for you or I to do a podcast.

What are you talking about? Geterdun.

Hey, good idea. Just tap Lillard's name on the left side to see this great shooting...

[riverman]

Wow! missed the whole game, first one this season and look what happens! I told y'all CJ is not a star at this pt

 

[riverman]

Well, it's a long trip to DC from here, hope we get the next one!

 

[jlprk]

You missed it? Did you hear about Webster??

 

[jlprk]

First time the Wizards have been over .500 since '89. That's 25 years.

[jlprk]

Oh wait, it says '09.

Vision's going in the old age. 09, 89, there was no difference.

 

[santeesioux]

Wizards think they're hot shit because they're 1 game over .500 in the Eastern Conference:

Washington Wizards ‏@WashWizards 40m
It's never too late, come back anytime #WizBlazers RT @Trailblazers Is it too late to join the Eastern Conference? Asking for a friend.

 

[MARIS61]

We have bench talent. But Stotts fails to recognize who they are.

He's also wearing down the starters and risking injury. You can't play an 8 man rotation through the regular season without inviting catastrophe.

He's got his eyes on the COY award, and it may cost us a championship.

To be fair, we did that tweet far too early as well.

It's just trash talking. Actually makes it kind of fun, considering the Blazers' tweet earlier this year that was trash talking, too.

What happened to Webster?

 

[jlprk]

I usually don't check tweets but look at Gilbert Arenas' account!

He predicts he'll score 50 on us next time!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

What happened to Webster?

Wants to retire in Portland.

1 game over 500 in the east gets you what, 3rd seed?

He's excelled the last couple of years and of all the ex Blazers, he's a guy I like in Portland.

That's going to be forever called the "Felton"...drop fifty on us..(not)
