GAME THREAD: SUNS @ BLAZERS - 11/13/13, WEDNESDAY, 7 PM

[LuckyShot]

We all knew that this team would have nights like this. When you rely on the three as much as we do, this kind of night is inevitable.

Thing is, we actually look like we're trying to score in the paint. We just can't get the ball in the basket.

I thought they were going to eliminate the extra bunny hop? that was bullshit

That has been called all season long, and all preseason long. I don't get it.

 

[KingSpeed]

This reminds me of playing basketball in high school. My team was pretty good, but we always seemed to play our worst against the crappy teams. They were so awkward and random that it actually made it harder to play organized.

Th SUNs aren't a cRappY team

 

[BlazerCaravan]

They should run that Lillard drive and dish every time until he can shoot it instead.

 

[Strenuus]

Should've traded Lillard when his value was high, should've drafted MCW, should've traded Aldridge...

[KingSpeed]

But it's not just missed threes. We can't even finish at the rim tonight

This.

 

[BBert]

Lopez is so good

LoMonster!

 

[Natebishop3]

Gerald Green gets away with a walk against a double team, then gets bailed out in the key by the ref after getting cleanly blocked.

When did PHX become the team that gets bailed out by the refs for horrible plays?

It's pretty much every team that plays against us. I don't think I've seen our team get the benefit of poor officiating in our favor yet this season.

 

[magnifier661]

Ball don't lie

 

[B-Roy]

They should run that Lillard drive and dish every time until he can shoot it instead.

This. I don't get what they are doing. Lillard is by far the best option to open plays with, and yet they're settling for stupid long range jumpers after one pass. Lillard needs to be aggressive. This game starts and ends with him.

 

[Strenuus]

BATUUUUUM!

 

[KingSpeed]

They so good at steals

 

[Yoda_of_the_MODA]

Nic has such a quick release on this 3s. YES

 

[Strenuus]

God damnit.

 

[julius]

The only thing I can take from this game is that the Blazer players don't approve of S2 as the official forum of the Trail Blazers.

Either that or they too watched the college games the other night and realize the Blazers would benefit from Jabari Parker, Julius Randle or Andrew Wiggins.

 

[magnifier661]

This game don't look so good. This might be a loss.

 

[Strenuus]

24 second violation. Go figure. That was the only thing missing from this great night of basketball.

 

[Rhal]

This game don't look so good. This might be a loss.

oh god when Mags go pessimistic something is horribly wrong.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't know what it is about Phoenix, but we just play like shit against them.

 

[magnifier661]

oh god when Mags go pessimistic something is horribly wrong.

I'm embarrassed with our play. I know Phoenix is good, but you would think the blazers would really practice hard for this game

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL

 

[Strenuus]

THAT WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Mo Money!!!!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

We will take it Mo

 

[Rhal]

Generally when you shove a player away to create room like Bledsoe just did, its an offensive foul.

 

[VenomXL]

LOL. What a disaster that quarter was. Nice save Mo.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm embarrassed with our play. I know Phoenix is good, but you would think the blazers would really practice hard for this game

The main point is You gotta make your layups... that is what's killing us.

That, and the air 3's.

I stopped watching the refs tonight. It's too ugly to even complain about

 

[Boise Blazer]

So apparently Bledsoe doesn't miss on lay ups. That guy is tough.

 

[Strenuus]

Only being down 6 isn't terrible. We just need one good run. Hell, we just need a damn run.
