GAME THREAD: CAVALIERS @ BLAZERS - 1/15/14, WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

[LuckyShot]

Dame telegraphed exactly what he was going to do... how did the cavs defense not know? Eh. And one.

They did. They had 2 big guys camping under the basket waiting for him and they couldn't stop him.

 

[Natebishop3]

That looks like it hurt. Hope Dame has dental insurance.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's what you get when you base your offense on jumpers.

28-9= what you get when you base your offense on jumpers.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn. Elbow to the jaw. And Zeller compains? lmao!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Easy call, as Zeller travels to the rim. Could be called a flagrant 1 for putting his elbow so high.

 

[Natebishop3]

Mo is 1-5.

Wes is 1-6.

Ouch.

 

[Natebishop3]

FINALLY WES!!!!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

There he goes. WES SPLASH!!! Great movement to the open spot.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wes really needs to see that shot go down.

 

[Strenuus]

T-Rob got that weak stuff out of here!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Well, that officially knocked him on his butt. lol

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice block by TRob.

 

[blue9]

28-9= what you get when you base your offense on jumpers.

Blah blah blah

 

[MarAzul]

Mike Rice talking about Points in the Paint with the Blazers doing good tonight. Boy he really left left out some of the why.
Four times so far the Blazers have given the ball to a man in motion, en-route to the hoop and the ball in the same motion.

Not nearly as much as a Jerry Sloan coached team but far more than a Nate McMillan coached team. Nice to see Terry Stotts!

 

[MickZagger]

Lillard missed T-Rob on the oop. Andre woulda lobbed that.

 

[blue9]

Nice block by TRob.

Also nice how he controlled that out of control fast break. Another PF on the team would have created a turnover in that situation.

 

[julius]

that was a blown fast break...Robinson would've scored easily.

 

[blue9]

Lillard missed T-Rob on the oop. Andre woulda lobbed that.

Yeah - Dame needs to work on that court vision. Wide open dunk right there.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wes is fading on his shot when he doesn't need to.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't know, but this season my confidence is sky high. I don't see us losing this

 

[LuckyShot]

I don't know, but this season my confidence is sky high. I don't see us losing this

That's because our 3 point shooting always gives us a puncher's chance to blow any game open!

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah - Dame needs to work on that court vision. Wide open dunk right there.

Yeah, need to reward the big man for the block and running the floor.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Points in the paint 18 to 18. Blazer shooting 42% cavs 52%.

 

[blue9]

I don't know, but this season my confidence is sky high. I don't see us losing this

I don't either. Doesn't mean we can expect to march into the Playoffs and have success with this style though.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Yeah - Dame needs to work on that court vision. Wide open dunk right there.

ha, ha, everybody but Damien saw that one!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I don't know, but this season my confidence is sky high. I don't see us losing this

Confidence is a large reason the Blazers have won so much.

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't know, but this season my confidence is sky high. I don't see us losing this

Of course it is. We have the third best record in the NBA.

 

[blue9]

Bailed out.

 

[KingSpeed]

Confidence is a large reason the Blazers have won so much.

And Lillard leads us in that category. So great to have a guy that confident leading our team.

 

[Natebishop3]

If we were making anything we'd be blowing these fuckers out.
