GAME THREAD: NETS @ BLAZERS - FEB. 26, 2014, WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Darkwebs]

Unselfish Nico gives it up to Will on the break!

 

[LuckyShot]

Will has the Midas touch

 

[Strenuus]

I am really impressed with these guys. I thought we were dead in the water after losing to San Antonio. This is really great if we win tonight. 4 game win streak? Nice. We still have shot at a top 2 seed.

We still have to win.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh man... if Will had hit that.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Brooklyn couldn't hit the ocean with a beach ball right now.

 

[KingSpeed]

Will Barton rules.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a fun first half! Hope we see more of the same in the 2nd one.

 

[BBert]

This is a weird lineup..... but fun to watch. I will give them that!

Stotts must be a genius.

 

[KingSpeed]

Career high for Will! 12 points... all in the quarter!

No. He had a 20+ point game against Dallas last year.

 

[Strenuus]

1st half stats

FG% Portland 50% Brooklyn 33.3%

Rebounds: Portland 26 Brooklyn 13 (You read that right)

Portland has FOUR double digit scorers (Batum 15, Lillard 11, Williams 10, and Barton 12 points)

The leading rebounder for the Blazers? Will Barton with 6.

WTF IS GOING ON?!?!

 

[RoyToy]

I can't remember the last time I've seen a team less interested than this Nets team. This is all-time embarrassing in the effort/caring department.

Will needs more minutes. Stotts needs to stop being so stingy with the young players and give them some real run.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Batum leading scorer in the game with 15 and 4 rebounds.

Barton season high 10 points in the quarter, 5 rebounds. All in the quarter.

Nic also has 3 assists and a steal.

 

[KingSpeed]

Barton does not have a career high

 

[bemac]

Stotts must be a genius.

Unless you consider what he's been leaving on the bench the entire year. They need minutes to develop, and they are getting it.

 

[B-Roy]

Barton has a season high, not career.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Will needs more minutes. Stotts needs to stop being so stingy with the young players and give them some real run.

That's funny. Stotts plays younger players a lot.

Will has a lot of competition on this team. That's his problem.

 

[Strenuus]

No. He had a 20+ point game against Dallas last year.

Random. All I keep hearing is "Will barton tied his career high" and then made more. I looked, yep. Last year he had plenty of 15 point games.

 

[julius]

Barton does not have a career high

He doesn't? Man, that is a weird fact.

 

[Strenuus]

Barton does not have a career high

I know. chill.

 

[BBert]

Barton does not have a career high

Season high I believe.

 

[KingSpeed]

Barton has scored more than 12 six times including this beauty:

22 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals vs Dallas

[BBert]

He doesn't? Man, that is a weird fact.

LOL

 

[Strenuus]

Season high I believe.

Yep. Anyone else want to mention this too? Holy shit. One mistake and you got 5 people correcting you.

 

[KingSpeed]

He doesn't? Man, that is a weird fact.

Hahaha tonight I mean

 

[bemac]

Will showed that he can do this at the end of last year....Somehow, Stotts forgot.

 

[Strenuus]

Barton has scored more than 12 six times including this beauty:

22 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals vs Dallas

I KNOW! holy shit.

I remember that game. Will the Thrill is a fun player.

 

[PapaG]

The Nets are down by 24 points. Where is Jason Collins? It couldn't have just been a publicity ploy to sell jerseys and perpetrate the Matthew Shepard Myth, could it?

 

[RoyToy]

That's funny. Stotts plays younger players a lot.

Will has a lot of competition on this team. That's his problem.

Only out of necessity when players go down (like right now)

 

[BBert]

Yep. Anyone else want to mention this too? Holy shit. One mistake and you got 5 people correcting you.

I'm working on a lawn sign as we type.
