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

Utah has 2 team fouls in 30 minutes of play. Give me a break.

 

[riverman]

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

yeah, playoff team, book it. LA, Joel, Nico, Leonard all out...no need to panic. The Blazers are not defined by tonight's roster

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Right now the refs are making a lot of tough calls- all in favor of Utah. These things happen and we have to tough it out.

I'd like to see us really dribble penetrate and force the refs to make some calls.

 

[PapaG]

OMGersh! A foul called on the Jazz!

Utah has 8 FT's and we have 2.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame sure gets no All-Star love from the refs.

And it came by us getting more aggressive.

 

[PapaG]

Dame sure gets no All-Star love from the refs.

Just because Kanter's arms are straight up doesn't mean that he can plow into players with his body.

 

[Strenuus]

Just... wow...

 

[Natebishop3]

Is it weird that I would rather completely reset the offense when you get an offensive rebound? I just don't like throwing the ball back up at the hoop. It's not a good shot most of the time.

 

[PapaG]

Stotts is looking a bit foolish in that jacket right now.

 

[riverman]

Wes is not getting any calls when he drives the lane

 

[Darkwebs]

Wes is strong as hell

That sure seems to be how the refs interpret that rule now.

Not when you're 6'1" tall and don't reset your feet on the follow.

 

[Strenuus]

The bank is open for Utah.

 

[PapaG]

Nic ready to come back in. This is a total disaster. Wow.

 

[Strenuus]

Didn't he just have 2 FT's?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

This must be what Hell is like.

Gotta clean this up. The jazz will collapse late in the game if we keep a lead but if we let them hang around I don't have a good feeling about winning the game. The jazz are definitely the hungrier team.

I wouldn't trade Matthews unless the deal was an absolute steal. He is often the only guy who bothers to post up in games which is pretty sad since he is our SG.

 

[PapaG]

Nice ball rotation to CJ!!!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Nic ready to come back in. This is a total disaster. Wow.

So indecisive!!

 

[Natebishop3]

CJ is going to be good. He's very obviously a rookie and nowhere near as polished as Dame was last season, but I think he's going to be a good one.

Very true.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Good ball movement!

Yeah, but it annoys me when Rolo or Robinson throw a bad followup as well. Lopez is actually really good about kicking back out though, so it's not so much him.

I love watching him play. I can't wait to see how Lillard and CJ play togethor in a few years.

I like em

A good shooter? That's why he was drafted. That will be his specialty in the NBA, and I hope it happens for him. He has nowhere near the overall skill level of Lillard, though. His future is as a bench player who gets 15-20 mpg. If he can become an elite shooter, that's a long NBA career.
