GAME THREAD: CAVALIERS @ BLAZERS - 11/4/14, TUESDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Darkwebs]

No joke, that d in the 2nd half was stifling. Very encouraged

That D will be challenged in our next game against the league-leading offense of Dallas.

 

[Strenuus]

funny, no doom and gloom threads.

I'm not feeling it but I'll try: Blake looked lost tonight, and if Nic floats up one more weak-ass pass I'm gonna rochambeau that fucker.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

All tonight proved is that we're as good as the Knicks.

They beat the Cavs too.

repped for effort, good sir.

I'll join the party. CJ nor Meyers made a shot tonight and Wright did absolutely nothing. Victor couldn't shoot all night long either

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

and Claver looked like he was on an American vacation.

I think they'll just fold and tank the rest of the season

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

CJ has the talent and knack for scoring and could be what Isiah Thomas is doing in PHX.

I like that Stotts is sitting him and make him earn PT.

Forcing it didn't work.

 

[Sinobas]

Post of the night!

I should do that every game. But the Cavs roster looks so great on paper. They didn't look so good on the court though.

 

[noknobs]

Kyrie is so much better than Lillard. He's one of the best penetrating guards in the league and Lillard is one of the worst.

I so wish we had Kevin Love over LaMarcus.

Freeland and Leonard suck, I don't know why the Blazers picked up his option.

Hi, my name is Lamarcus, and all I have to do is play laxsadasical defense and miss long jump shots and everyone will thing I'm an all-star.

Nic Batum is such a looser....get off the court.

Fuck you batum, god damn it

You must be fun at parties...

Seriously though, why are you even a Blazer fan? You seem to hate the entire roster.

LOL! If it brings us wins I'm all in favor!

 

[PDXFonz]

Roytoy won't be able to talk bad about batums d for a while after what nic did to lbj tonight!

 

[BigGameDamian]

LeBron almost looked lethargic out there tonight. Something wrong with him?

 

[magnifier661]

Yeah batum and Matthews

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I would love to play that team in the finals. They literally have nobody that can guard LMA and they have trouble with the length of Lopez and Kamen. We're better than them. Blazers NBA champs 2015.

 

[PDXFonz]

It seemed pretty quiet in there tonight. Maybe it was because I was surrounded by primarily Cavs fans. However I feel like I saw a lot more opponent jerseys being worn than an average game. It was the same with the Heat game last year, a lot of Bron Bron fans.

 

[daddylogan]

I am so happy the Blazers won so I can now go watch "Sex Sent Me to the E.R." and I can really focus on it!!! Thanks Blazers!!! RIP CITY BABY!!!!!

peace out,
daddylogan

 

[RoyToy]

Wow at LeBron taking the night off. That was pathetic effort on his part. Glad I didn't pay money to see that.

And it's clear to me that Lillard is another Stephen Curry. People say Westbrook/Rose/etc, but it's Curry who he resembles most. They kind of live and die on the 3 ball.

It was like that the other night as well against the Warriors. There were clump of Warrior fans behind the basket. And they made themselves known. Utter BS.

It should never happen. And if it does, it needs to happen two fold on their own court when it's time.

 

[PDXFonz]

What the...Jockeys slogan is "supporting greatness".

 

[PDXFonz]

It's getting a bit ridiculous how everyone in the league is trying to sell the replay station. It's starting to feel like they are telling us how good the kook aid tastes.

 

[THE HCP]

I would really like all the Nic haters to go back and watch his defense tonight. He was on LeBron and Kyrie tonight and played fantastic. No stats will show up in the boxscore showing what he did on that end, but that was the key to this victory. It's not always about scoring.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Lebron with 0 2nd half points for only 2nd time in his career.

Yeah, and the last time was his 4th game in the NBA. It's been a while since someone shut him down in the second half, but it's a process...

BNM

Problem is getting past the Sacramento Kings in the WCF. NBA Finals will be easy no matter whom we play.

lot o' peeps like to suck on lebrons jock straps. time to burn the bandwagon!

Cavs scored 34 in the first quarter.

They scored 48 in the next three quarters.

Is this legit D or do the Cavs just suck right now? BTW, I absolutely loved how Dame played D last night whether he was on Waiters or Kyrie -- he took the right angles, fought hard through picks, and contested every shot. Great improvement.

From what I've heard, LeBron essentially got fed up with Waiters/Kyrie and just said, "fuck it."

He referenced bad habits from past seasons, and he was obviously talking about the chuck-it twins. I think that team is too young to really get the big picture. Irving, Waters, and Love are all still in that "me first" phase of their careers. It's totally different from the Heat with a veteran team and three stars who had already been there and done that.

lol, they're trollin
