Hawks @ Blazers 11/12/2012 - GAME THREAD

[MickZagger]

Several people here screamed and yelled for him for the last couple of years and how great he'd be... Glad they don't work as scouts.

It was probably the same guy who thinks every Euro should be an AS and doesn't get a fair shake.

 

[julius]

It's depressing when the phrase "bring us within" is followed by the number 11.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Nice fighting under the basket.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard's shooting is off so far tonight

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Lillard's shooting is off so far tonight

Yeah, but he still has a sweet stroke.

 

[Darkwebs]

How are we only down 9? We've been atrocious.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard is shooting out of his slump. Sweet stroke!

 

[BrianFromWA]

you know, as crapfesty as we've been playing, the bench kinda did its job to not get crushed.

And LMA, please feel free to rotate over on D to the guy coming unmolested down the baseline.

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge didn't even challenge that Josh Smith shot

Aldridge wastes his size and length more than any other player in the NBA

 

[Darkwebs]

Korver is on fire! We need to stick to him like glue

I was one of the people who wanted to bring him over for the last few years. We needed a big he was a big and was one of the best Euro big men and we had his rights. I had never thought he would be an all-star but still think he can be an okay big off the bench just gonna take him time to get adjusted to a new style of play.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Someone tell Pavlovic to stop cheating off his man and leaving their shooters wide open!

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd like to point out that at the stoppage of play we were down 6.

And I haven't had a strong opinion on it, but I really like having Hickson in the game with the bench mob. Then again, I like him in the game with the starters if LMA is being LaMarshmallow on a given night.

 

[Darkwebs]

That was a slick pass by Dame. Too bad LMA was fouled or it would've been a highlight

 

[MickZagger]

Lillard's shooting is off so far tonight

Meh, he's 3-7. Not bad.

 

[Driew]

Man seems like a TON of timeouts this 2nd quarter....

 

[julius]

Does anyone know when the games will start being broadcast on 620?

 

[illmatic99]

Nice look by Lillard there on the fast break. He's better when he's not careful. When he slows down and starts to get tentative, he makes some indecisive passes, but in the the flow of the game, dude just balls out.

 

[Sinobas]

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!

 

[Sinobas]

Freeland looks like a boy among men. That's funny when I think of a few around here that felt he was going to be an instant all-star.

I wonder if he'll ever make a basket!

 

[Darkwebs]

Meh, he's 3-7. Not bad.

Well, he was like 1-5 when I posted that. But he made he last couple shots. I hope he continues shooting it. He's one of our best shooters

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame is heating up! 3 straight jumpers on target!

 

[Rhal]

I know Stotts wants LA to take those long distance shots but shooting 60% of your shots there is going to lead to lots of missed shots that LA could have made if stotts made him move to the post.

 

[BrianFromWA]

DEFENSE, MUTHERFUCKA! WILL YOU PLAY IT?!?!

 

[RoyToy]

What the hell was that Nic?

 

[B-Roy]

Batum's shot selection really leaves me boggled sometimes. Does he think he's Kobe?

 

[illmatic99]

LOL Dame just pulled up from 30'. Do it, rook.

 

[RoyToy]

Wide open shot Nic.............

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame with zero dimes. LMA has 5.

 

[MickZagger]

Dame with zero dimes. LMA has 5.

Unfortunately his teammates aren't hitting their shots. LMA included.
