LOPEZ with the swoop and score!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

The crowd is so quiet I didn't know it was a home game.

 

[Strenuus]

Lopez with a Double Double... again!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Gotta get dat Lopez Jersey

hoop fam

 

[magnifier661]

Wow this game is nerve racking

 

[LuckyShot]

We are so easily beaten by a simple ball screen.

 

[VenomXL]

Way too much switching.

 

[KingSpeed]

Only down 2, somehow, playing this poorly.

Amazing.

Totally

 

[The_Lillard_King]

What a frustrating game so far. I expect games like this on the road, but Blazers should be sharper than this at home

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard has got to get it going...

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Why can't we defend the pick and roll??????????? This has bothered me for years. It really fuckin pisses me off

 

[B-Roy]

We are so easily beaten by a simple ball screen.

They are afraid of Bledsoe driving.

 

[Strenuus]

POint in the paint

Portland 30

Phoenix - 26.

 

[illmatic99]

6 possessions tonight where big has switched with guard. 6 times Suns have scored easily.

The SUns are just a tough team

 

[LuckyShot]

Seriously. How many more 2 footers are we going to miss tonight?

 

[Strenuus]

Layup drill before getting on the team plane tomorrow. Book it. LOL.

Phoenix may be the least talented team in the NBA, have nobody close to being a franchise player, yet they are coached to their strengths. I'm sure the talent gap will catch up with them as the season goes on, but Hornacek and his staff are doing a great job of coaching. The team they have on the floor at times has 4 players who were on the their summer league roster, where Hornacek said they were playing to win it, and came close to doing so.

If they don't, Bledsoe drives and causes problems. Lopez isn't quick enough to get back to him.

 

[VenomXL]

Barf.

Lillard is quick enough to stop penetration, but he still doesn't have a great defensive stance. I don't get it, because that is a defensive basic. Get low, keep your center of gravity, and move your feet without crossing them.

 

[Rhal]

did Tucker get stepped on or something? He is rolling around an awful lot for simply fallin gont his back.

 

[KingSpeed]

We look our worst when playing the Suns. It's just not pretty against those guys. I feel like we'll lose by 15 eventually.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Now THAT was a brick.

Nic stepped on his head.

Stop being so positive.

 

[LuckyShot]

Lillard is quick enough to stop penetration, but he still doesn't have a great defensive stance. I don't get it, because that is a defensive basic. Get low, keep your center of gravity, and move your feet without crossing them.

Then he gets screened and our big sits in the paint and watches. Then the guard gets a head start at the basket and we're screwed.

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard HAS to start scoring. Come on.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow. Ugly bball
