GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ WOLVES - FEB. 8TH, 2014, SATURDAY, 5:00 PM, CSNNW

This.

I think this falls bcack on to LA and Nic again. They both were showing quite a bit of it early in the season.

Might be able to pin it on fatigue which is really no excuse because every frickin team is tired.

 

[BBert]

Lopez still scoreless (0-4) after his great game last night.

 

[Natebishop3]

Pull LA. He isn't bringing any fucking energy at all on defense.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

And people think this team is a contender.......

They do a lot of loafing.

This doesn't make them a non contender.

 

[Natebishop3]

I hope Terry rips this team a new one.

 

[Strenuus]

Gave up 54 points to this sorry ass wolves team. FUcking pathetic. Wow.

 

[Natebishop3]

Do you guys think S Hawes could help us?

At this point, I want a fucking rim protector. Tired of watching layups.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Pull LA. He isn't bringing any fucking energy at all on defense.

Well if that's the solution, we should pull everyone.

 

[Strenuus]

They do a lot of loafing.

No Love, No Pek, no Martin, and we gave up 54. That should NEVER happen under ANY circumstance.

 

[LuckyShot]

That's it MB. We look like shit because we were caught off guard by these scrubs rather than Love and Martin. We just didn't know what to expect... lol

 

[BBert]

Lillard with 3 fouls and Watson with 4. Still don't wan't Mo back. CJ is doing a fine job.

Is Crabbe suited up?

 

[KingSpeed]

The fact that they aren't absolutely destroying a Love-less Wolves squad gives me a lot of fear for this team's heart and desire.

It's not over yet. We could easily still win by 20.

 

[Strenuus]

Well if that's the solution, we should pull everyone.

aint that the truth.

 

[VenomXL]

Here's the Portland defensive formula. Take a guy who averages ten points or less on the season. Let him score several easy baskets right off the bat to get his confidence soaring. Watch him light up the scoreboard for a career high.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

No Love, No Pek, no Martin, and we gave up 54. That should NEVER happen under ANY circumstance.

But the team has a bad habit. A habit apparently they can't break. And that is to play to the level of the opponent.

I think they feel they have a pulse on every game. As long as they have a chance to win it at the end, that's all that matters.

Frustrating to say the least

 

[Natebishop3]

Well if that's the solution, we should pull everyone.

How often do you see LA just standing there while someone like Turiaf or Cunningham soars in for the rebound? He doesn't box out.

 

[julius]

a team missing it's 3 best players, and they're up by 1 at half. I want to not be cynical about it.

Rinse and repeat.

 

[BBert]

Just noticed CJ is our leading scorer at the half with 13.

He's passing the ball around too, just not getting assists.

We're leading by one, not Minny.

He looks really good.

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

We should get Leonard in room all Zoolander styles, with Relax playing in the background, making him watch tapes and tapes, hours and hours of the Dream and Mutombo highlights. Hell get him to play NBA 2K just doing post moves for a weekend!

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

Lillard with 3 fouls and Watson with 4. Still don't wan't Mo back. CJ is doing a fine job.

Is Crabbe suited up?

Crabbe was ready to play yesterday..

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

He looks really good.

Don't rush back Mo, take all the time you need

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

Are we still the strongest in the 3rd for points?

 

[Darkwebs]

Expect to see a pissed off Damian in the 2nd half. And the Wolves won't like it when he's pissed.

 

[julius]

We're leading by one, not Minny.

the "they're" I was referring to was Portland, not Minnesota.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, you clearly just suck at formulating a sentence.

 

[illmatic99]

I was expecting a blowout win tonight. That was even before I heard of Love/KMart being out

Not quite a blowout
