GAME THREAD: JAZZ @ BLAZERS - FEB. 21, 2014, FRIDAY, 7:00 PM, CSNNW

LOL I just saw Will's dunk during the highlights. Good ol' Will the Thrill. I love that guy.

I think that was one of those "nice dunk Will... don't ever fuckin do it again."

Perfectly stated.

 

[PapaG]

Dame hasn't attempted a three yet. That's crazy.

The threes are all contested. Maybe this Stotts guy knows what he's doing by putting LMA in the places on the floor in his offense.

 

[jlprk]

Our only big guy is Lopez, so Kanter's having a great night. Robinson sometimes plays tough successfully, but tonight, 2 fouls in 4 minutes. Otherwise Utah would be much farther behind.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Lillard can get to the rim with ease - needs to be aggressive.

Like this?

[Strenuus]

Batum likely out for the rest of the game.

 

[PapaG]

Hey, FTs for Barton! In other news, BARTON IS STARTING THE SECOND HALF. I'm stunned.

 

[blue9]

Lillard can get to the rim with ease - needs to be aggressive.

It's nice to see him finishing! I was beginning to wonder if he'd start to learn this season. He still sometimes gets tunnel vision, leading to him ending up on the floor after a really bad shot, as evidenced by the end of the quarter. But it's good to see him starting to figure out how to score in the paint. He just needs to stop deciding what he's going to do before he starts the drive - go in and see what happens. That's what happened when he dropped that pass for Lopez, and it was beautiful!

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum likely out for the rest of the game.

And Barton is his replacement.

 

[LuckyShot]

Batum likely out for the rest of the game.

If I played like he did the other night, I'd likely still be sick too. har har

 

[Strenuus]

Here we go shooting 3's because they made one.

Stop being positive!

 

[Strenuus]

annnd... bye bye lead AGAIN.

 

[LuckyShot]

Way to keep working hard, Wes!

 

[Strenuus]

Robin with 3 fouls. *sigh*

 

[LuckyShot]

Awesome call...

 

[Strenuus]

Horray forced shots!

 

[Strenuus]

I'm seriously doubting we will ever see the November/December Blazers at any point the rest of the year.

 

[Darkwebs]

Big 3 by Wright

 

[LuckyShot]

Would Dame take over already?

 

[PapaG]

Can we just admit that this team is comically bad without LMA?

 

[Strenuus]

Are they out to get Lopez? Geez. 4th foul.

 

[LuckyShot]

Lopez called for another foul when a Utah guard grabs his arm.

 

[Strenuus]

Can we just admit that this team is comically bad without LMA?

But oddly not that bad without Batum.

 

[LuckyShot]

Can we just admit that this team is comically bad without LMA?

He's obviously our MVP. As good as Dame is, we can replace some of his perimeter scoring. We can't replace LaMarcus's ability to score in the paint and attract the entire defense's attention.

 

[Rhal]

Seems like the refs only see Blazers when they want to call a foul

[Strenuus]

Wow. Inbounds violation? this is just a comedy of errors... playoff team?

 

[riverman]

It's all good, for 3rd string players who've rarely been on a court together, they're still in this one. Can't buy a free throw tonight for some reason

Can't buy a foul at all
