GAME THREAD: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - 12/6/13, FRIDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Strenuus]

We need to predict the next 20. Can someone post the next 20 schedule so I can predict it?

No! 10 game stretches. Much better.

Yeah yeah yeah

Portland 17-23 from 3... and Barton was 0-2

And one of his misses was a desperation shot at the end of the shot clock wasn't it?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I actually can. You predicted more than 2 losses!!!!

When?!

 

[BBert]

@TrailBlazersPR: Portland's 73.9% 3-point shooting (17-23) is the highest by any team that made at least 15 3-pointers in NBA history.

Holy Crap. I hope we best that mark v. the Meat in the finals.

I think that's right.

Dorell Wright looks like a tall Bill Bellamy.

Meyers Leonard looks like a tall Mormon, I wonder if the Jazz want him?

Blazers shoot 17/23 from three tonight. They are now 196/460 on the season for 42.6%. That is equivalent to 63.9% from two!

74% from the 3pt line on 23 shots, unreal! That's an eFG% of 111%! LOL!

 

[THE HCP]

LaMarcus Aldridge was a (+45) tonight in Portland's blowout of Utah, the highest single game +/- in NBA this season.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

From Elias: The Trail Blazers, with this win over the Jazz, tied for the 3rd best 20-game start in NBA history by a team that missed the playoffs the previous season. The last team to miss the playoffs and then go on to win at least 17 of their first 20 games the following season were the 2007-08 Celtics, who went 18-2 and then went on to win the NBA title.

LA i now averaging 23.35 and 10.00, top 10 in both categories. Interestingly, while we've been talking about LA, Lopez has quietly gone on to improve his rebounding to career highs as well, with 8.7 a game (previous best had ben 5.6). And after last night, all 5 starters have a PER of 15 or better.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Loved finally seeing a blow out win.

Hated watching Leonar_. God damn he is horrible

Strangely, he's still a 19.0 PER this SMALLSAMPLESIZE year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Our eFG% vs opponent eFG% is really close to San Antonio's last year... and our SRS is finally in the range of recent champions (above 6). 1/4 of the way through the season, I'm very encouraged!

This was the shot chart through three quarters last night
