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

[Blazer Fanatic]

Do t wolves really think this is a statement game? We played 4games in 5nights and this is the last one. Guys can get tired, and with the best record in the league 1 loss from fatigue just doesn't seem like a huge deal.

Yes. Yes they do.

 

[B-Roy]

Win or lose, one game isn't a big deal anyways. Just tip your hat and move on. No point brooding over a loss.

I suspect Stotts will give it one last shot in the third. If the deficit is still above 15 by the start of the 4th he'll probably just call it a night. The guys are gassed, 4 games in 5 nights. They're only human.

17/11/8 in one half is crazy production.

Truly a stat monster.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

He just plays like your post.

I know your're frustrated, but dissing on our players is weak. Myers hasn't found a game for himself worth speaking of yet, but "Fuck Myers?" That is weak.

 

[Wolvesguy14]

we can definitely come back from this, but not if minny keeps hitting everything. gotta lock down on d and start hitting some shots. i want to shut these fucking douchebag minny announcers up.

How are they douchebags? They are regarded as one of the top combos.

Something to bring a little light-hearted and needed fun to this thread:

Tired legs and the Wolves pushed the ball every chance they got.

Dude, Fez, I would have thought your boner would have subsided after jacking off to Kevin Love for the first half.

You still sporting wood? Did you take viagra? You might want to get that looked at bro.

Empty stats, apparently.

 

[Strenuus]

BRoy did it in just over 1 quarter. Let's make this official. GO DAME!

If Dame gets us to come back and then hits the game winner. OH MY GOD.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Truly a stat whore

fixed

 

[Strenuus]

Empty stats, apparently.

The best you'll be after tonight is 13-13.

We'd still be 22-5.

Enjoy!

wife has the girls over for a Xmas party last night, I got a shitload of booze and food, I can chill during a stinker game - these guys have played great since the season began, they can have a bad night, lets the young guys loose

I agree. They are a good announcing team. I wasn't one of the ones talking shit about the Wolves before the game, because I know that games like this can happen. I do still think that the Blazers are a better team than the Wolves this year. Your team is just tearing us up. It happens. Congrats so far. I look forward to the rematch!

 

[Strenuus]

SINOBAS! Where's your reverse jinx, damnit!

 

[blue9]

You think that's why we're losing?

Largely, yes. That, and no defense in the paint.
They're calling soft fouls on MIN's end. MIN is actually attacking the hoop and taking advantage. Us? Not so much. Lillard is doing his usual "try to draw contact, try to out-hang the defender, throw up garbage". We need someone making strong moves around the basket to force the refs to give us what they're giving MIN - jumpers and weak lay-up attempts by Lillard aren't going to do it. Post LMA. Post Wes. Post Nic. Lopez hitting weak-side boards. Send cutters when Wes or Nic are posting. Lillard should pass the ball into the post, rotate to a corner and wait for the ball to swing.

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Empty stats, apparently.

If you guys had shittier players we'd totally be winning right now.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Those numbers are impressive, very impressive. That's all I'm pointing out. Iirc, no PF/C ever put up those kind of numbers on LA in his eight years.

Sorry man, but this is all effort. We're flat footed. We're not bringing any effort tonight. We're making bad decisions. To make matters worse, we can't eve play our bench because of how badly they're playing.

 

[Rhal]

Well this is one of those games that every team has each year. We can expect the best of each team on every night now no matter how tired we are if we can't get it up for a game we are going to get blown out. I think we have had a few to many come back games and an ass beating lets us know we can't coast through quarters an expect to win.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yeah, I'm not in "Game Over" mode yet. We crush teams by about 10pts per game in the 3rd quarter.

Are you saying if it's a 15pt game or so at the 4th it'll be over?

I agree. Right now, the Blazers are the better team.

 

[Strenuus]

If we have 1 bad game out of 6, I'm okay with that. One game in the next "week" is nice too. We will bounce back. Not worried at all.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

4th game in 5 nights. Think the team has a 25 point comeback in them?

Congratulating a troll. F A I L

I say fuck it and just play the bench. The starters aren't going to bring us back so might as well let the second unit try an click a little better.

 

[BrianFromWA]

The 72-10 Bulls lost 2 in a row.

 

[magnifier661]

Take of two halves, here we go!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They came out flat but the one player who dug that hole at warp speed: Mo Freaking Williams.

He was atrocious on both ends.
