[StumptownHoliday]

utah's made a bunch of tough midrange shots. well up our defense after halftime.

 

[illmatic99]

I was just asking... I thought he was gonna be the lbj of the draft? I don't follow college

I think Jabari has leapfrogged him

 

[KingSpeed]

So wiggins sucks now?

Jabari is a Mormon

 

[magnifier661]

I'm talking about the big quarters, like Chicago, GS, etc.

I'm talking about defense. Our defensive adjustments are great in the second half. The only reason Utah is even close is they are shooting over 50%

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Especially when they land Jabari.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Burke. I thought he'd turn into Jonny Flynn.

Yeah Jabari would be perfect for them. The mormon thing, the way he plays, his position. They could be dangerous by 2016.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

To be fair, either Aldridge or Lillard was out there all half long. It's not like we throw five bench players out there. It's basically our bad defense and the starters are culpable there too.

And the Heat without Dwade, or LeBron? I'm not worried about it. This team will push each other to be better. I'm gave them a pass before the season started till they get time playing together, and now they are 16-3.

Oh didn't know, which is why I asked

 

[KingSpeed]

They're both good.

Jabari is a Mormon

Ya I read that his mom is devout, and raised him to be pretty orthodox. I wonder what he's doing with all the groupies throwing themselves at him at Duke.

 

[Natebishop3]

Lillard has outscored Burke 21-13, which is a 42-26 pace. How about putting a little of that offensive energy into defense.

You have confused Alec Burks with Trey Burke.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

21-7.

Yes, it's Burke with 7 (rookie starting PG) and Burks with 13 (rookie bench PG).

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers bounced out to a 20 point lead and have been coasting ever since. The fact that they've given up 9 offensive rebounds and 55% shooting shows they're playing lazy defense. They need to come out in the 2nd half and hammer these guys into oblivion.

 

[KingSpeed]

Huh? I was just saying that we always have Aldridge or Lillard on the floor. Aldridge stays out there while Lillard gets rest. Then Lillard comes back as backup SG. What do Wade and LeBron have to do with it? I'm just saying the blown leads aren't all on the bench which actually had a decent showing offensively.

He is hitting every girl with 36-24-36.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yes, it's Burke with 7 (rookie starting PG) and Burks with 13 (rookie bench PG).

Burks is a rookie. I thought this was his second year.

"either Aldridge or Lillard was out there all half long". I thought you were implying they were sucking without both in the game. Most teams do. Whether that is different or the same as what you're saying, idk. It was just additional information.

 

[Strenuus]

Good start.

 

[magnifier661]

Give and go!

 

[Strenuus]

Matthews is okay.

 

[LuckyShot]

Great start!

 

[magnifier661]

Three!!!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Love the way Robin seals for Batum when he drives - or for any blazer for that matter.

 

[Natebishop3]

Alec Burks is a second year player.

Trey Burke is a rookie.

 

[BBert]

Yes, it's Burke with 7 (rookie starting PG) and Burks with 13 (rookie bench PG).

That's not confusing.

Either way, their PGs have 20 pts in the half. That's too many.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

WES SPLASH!

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL Wes feelin a little too strong

 

[jlprk]

Lillard has outscored Burke 21-13, which is a 42-26 pace. How about putting a little of that offensive energy into defense.

Should be Burks, the 6-6 sub PG. Burke, the 6-0 starting PG, has been mediocre.

Edit: You guys caught it too.

 

[magnifier661]

Double double for Aldridge

 

[LuckyShot]

We are shooting the damn lights out!

 

[Strenuus]

Eh. Batum with a 3.
