Hawks @ Blazers 11/12/2012 - GAME THREAD

[BrianFromWA]

bench: 31 min, 1-5FG, 4 reb, 2 ast, 4 pts.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Our defense is porous.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Our defense is porous.

That would imply that there are places where it actually exists.

 

[Darkwebs]

Our defense is porous.

We are probably the worst defensive team in the league thus far in the season. And I'm not using hyperbole.

 

[B-Roy]

Repped

 

[Blazinaway]

What's the deal with our defense? We have good size and athletisism at every position, but teams shoot lights-out against us. And I don't think it's just for lack of a shot blocker, because a lot of it is coming on the perimeter.

And the turnovers....this game would be about even if it were not for all those sloppy passes. Bring back Coby Karl!

I hear ya, our defense simply sucks, teams shooting percentages agains us are astronomical, when Leonard is in why is he always running way outside and then the other team just goes inside and we hvae no shot blocker - happens all the fukkin time and I am sick of it

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We are probably the worst defensive team in the league thus far in the season. And I'm not using hyperbole.

And there's no reason for it when I look at our top 7 players.

 

[julius]

now, is the team bad at defense because the players suck, they don't care what the coaches say, or the coaches suck?

Defense isn't THAT hard to play.

 

[RoyToy]

It's because the Blazers' "best player" is 6-11, soft and doesn't protect the paint

It's embarrassing for a 6-11 player.

 

[Blazinaway]

oh my god, another stupid TO

 

[Blazinaway]

another fukkin TO, LOL

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

These sets are eerily similar to the And-1 mix tour.

 

[Blazinaway]

only sad positive is our better draft pick chances are lookin better

 

[Darkwebs]

More turnovers. Yay

 

[Darkwebs]

Hickson is putting up some nice numbers

 

[BrianFromWA]

ok, bad JJ, you have my attention

 

[Blazinaway]

the paint is wide open, fukkin WIDE OPEN

 

[BrianFromWA]

i'm so happy that that went down and we scored that I won't mention Nic doing a lot of one-foot-over-the-line jumpshooting.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

More and more points in the paint for Atlanta..

 

[MickZagger]

Aldridge's defense is horrible.

 

[Blazinaway]

come on Nic, get hot

 

[Darkwebs]

Nic makes 2 straight jumpers. Hope he can keep it up

 

[BrianFromWA]

it's a good thing Bad Josh Smith showed up today, or else we might be down 25.

 

[B-Roy]

"Mean" JJ is a good JJ.

 

[Darkwebs]

This would be a blowout if Hickson wasn't on our team. He is keeping us in the game

 

[RoyToy]

Bench Aldridge, start Hickson at PF

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ben Golliver ‏@blazersedge 12 hours after swearing at imagined haters on Twitter, J.J. Hickson just airballed a free throw

 

[MickZagger]

We got Hickson at a bargain deal.

 

[julius]

has the box score been screwy at ESPN for anyone else?

I just was there and it kept fluctuating between 3 different sets of scores, none of them current.
