GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ WOLVES - 12/18/13, WED, 5 PM (PST), CSNNW

Time to look at those iPads

Nothing special happening. Missing open shots on offense and playing lazy defense.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

If you swipe at the ball, even if you draw no contact, the refs will most likely call it.

It's not a foul to swipe your hand when there is no contact.

 

[B-Roy]

Our defense always seems to suck more against the crappy teams. They need to get the mentality to treat every opponent the same.

The defense is an issue

This is Minny's championship. I think they'll wear out soon.

 

[B-Roy]

They scored 26 points in the paint in one quarter.

Yep. Everyone shoots above 50% against us in the first quarter it seems.

It doesn't matter. The refs see the swipe, so they call the foul. Happened to LA all the time.

 

[blue9]

Just got home. Shot chart shows all but one MIN basket coming in the paint. Yeah, we don't need to upgrade our rim-protection.

 

[B-Roy]

Oh god Mo.

 

[Strenuus]

So, Bad Mo tonight.

 

[TBpup]

Mo being Mo.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Love looks to be the one to make a statement.

What a monster first quarter for him.

 

[magnifier661]

Looks like this maybe a long night

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

No one boxed out.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow

 

[Darkwebs]

Nightmare start for the Blazers. Joel wasn't expecting the ball

 

[B-Roy]

Lmao Joel.

 

[Natebishop3]

Whatever.... just pack it up and get back on the plane. There is no motivation tonight at all.

 

[Strenuus]

Still not worried. I still feel good about this.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I don't get the turnovers.

 

[LuckyShot]

We look like we're mailing this one in.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Fuck love already has 9 rebounds.

 

[Darkwebs]

3-1 isn't a bad road trip at all

 

[magnifier661]

I don't get the turnovers.

Exactly. They are unforced

 

[LuckyShot]

Lmao Joel.

He turned away after the ball was already in the air coming toward him.

 

[julius]

whats awesome is 1 game will prove to the Timberwolves fans that Kevin Love is the best PF to ever play. For us, it's just a game.

 

[Natebishop3]

Minnesota isn't even playing that well. We're shooting ourselves in the foot.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Well damn. 3-1 on the trip isn't bad though!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Nightmare start for the Blazers. Joel wasn't expecting the ball

Once, ok. Twice... go get your shine box.
