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

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We're currently shooting 39%. We really have to bring that up.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Blazers are not very good right now. Even without LA a team that was in the top four just days ago shouldn't be this bad. Where's the pulse at on this team?

 

[Strenuus]

Claver *sigh*

 

[KeepOnRollin]

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.

He has the talent to be a starter in 2-3 years. Not All Star like Dame but competent starter in the NBA is pretty good from a late lottery pick.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I think we got away with that one.

 

[PapaG]

How long until LMA and Leonard get healthy again? Send them to Germany to get the Kobe vitamins.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Claver just doesn't have it.

 

[riverman]

new tactic, Nic coughs into Kanter and Haywards faces...

 

[Strenuus]

We are down 8 to the Jazz.

Good lord.

 

[LuckyShot]

Good God, Mo....

Is our offensive game plan just pure chaos?

 

[PapaG]

A starting what? He's not a PG, and he's too short to be a starting SG.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Uh oh.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really really really don't like watching Dame and Mo on the floor together.

 

[riverman]

Somebody woke Dame up?

 

[Rhal]

Iv got no faith we are going to win this game. We look to sloppy and really lackadaisical out there.

Good pass by Nic.

 

[Strenuus]

Lillard don't start chucking so early... save it for the 4th.

 

[Blazinaway]

wow is this ugly, thx for the help Neil

 

[Rhal]

Dame just needs to say "screw it LA is out this is MY team now".

So does this finally mean we can stop talking about Claver? The guy is not good.

 

[Strenuus]

This is embarassing. This is all NBA talent, not Dleague talent... should all be able to do SOMETHING.

I hope.

true, but no one besides Lopes even looks decent toniye, simply horrible

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This team is horrid without LA.

They suck with or without Batum.

I think we may now have a new whipping boy.

 

[PapaG]

Jazz with 14 FTs.

Blazers with 4 FTs.

Stotts needed to take a tech in the 3rd to get the crowd into the game. Maybe early in the 4th?

Come on, Olshey loves these guys

 

[riverman]

Victor Claver is better than you think..he's played about 4 minutes in 2 games...not even time to break a sweat. Give CJ or Barton those minutes and they won't impress either.

 

[Rhal]

This team really is in a horrible horrible slump. A few losses to the best teams in the league isn't something I'm worried about but how we looked vs an undermanned minny/spurs now the horrid Jazz is not comforting

He has never been good.

Batum's been the whipping boy since he signed that contract, and hasn't done anything to sway any opinions.
