I know it's what all the cool kids do these days but it's sitting next to someone while you're both posting on the forum, lol.

Also BNM is pretty damn cool. Very nice guy, Calling Boob doesn't really fit so I'll call him Mr More.

Take that man down to the Blazer Dancers dressing room and get him some boob.

WES! Great hustle!

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow I really don't like the red key on TV...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I was just going to complain about 2 fadeaway jumpers when Wes comes up with the steal and bucket.

its a block party!

 

[Sinobas]

This team is too in love with the contested mid range shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Great D by both teams

 

[EGame]

this game is lol worthy so far.

 

[Sinobas]

bullshit call number 1

BNM's keys to tonight's game:

1) TOVs.

In the first two games of the season:

GSW:
TOV = 42
OPP TOV = 48

POR:
TOV = 20
OPP TOV = 23

So, the Warriors force over twice as many turnovers as the Blazers, but they also commit over twice as many. The Warriors play fast and loose. If the Blazers can take care of the ball, and take advantage of the Warriors sloppy play, it could be the difference in the game. The two teams are so equally matched in most other areas.

2) Fouls and FT shooting of the Bigs

Bogut, Ezeli and Nedovic are all foul prone. So far this season:

Bogut PF/36 = 6.0
Ezili PF/36 = 13.7
Nedovic PF/36 = 24.0

Combine the propensity of their big men to commit fouls, with the fact that Aldridge, Lopez and Kaman are all above average FT shooters and this could be another advantage for the Blazers.

[BrianFromWA]

that's how you take it to the hoop, LMA.

 

[EGame]

yieks if curry is on this soon

 

[Strenuus]

that's how you take it to the hoop, LMA.

it seems to me he does it once in the beginning of the game, then never again for the rest of the game.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Rice "That (curry shot) is what you really have to defend"

Yeah, Mike, he's pretty good, and that D was ok

 

[Darkwebs]

Our guys seemed to have learned their lesson from last game, hitting the boards hard

 

[Strenuus]

bogut has no fear knowing freeland cant do shit. lol

 

[EGame]

i want curry over lillard please

 

[BrianFromWA]

can't fault Dame for taking it in like that...those shots will drop or fouls will be called

 

[Strenuus]

damnit matthews.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Wes with the T? We might get some Wild Will Time tonight.

 

[Strenuus]

i want curry over lillard please

i see what you did there.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

matthews was going from ref to ref asking for an explanation on that tech. They wouldn't give him one, lol.

 

[Sinobas]

How come they don't use screens to get damian open looks at a 3 like GS just did with Curry. When the Blazers do it, he gives it up to LA for the long 2 pt shot. STUPID!

 

[EGame]

i see what you did there.

Really though. It isn't even because Dame just flat out sucks thus far to start the season, but Curry is such a deadly shooter. Great player.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Is this tennis or basketball? A technical foul for abuse of equipment??? Really ref?

BNM

 

[LuckyShot]

Weakest tech ever.
