Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - 4/17/16, SUNDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT & KGW

[EGame]

anyone who is telling dame he shouldn't do this or do that is wrong. It is basically 2 on 5 and the clips can but bodies on cj and dame while ignoring everyone else who is shitting the bed.

 

[LuckyShot]

What are the chances we let the score again before the half?

 

[VenomXL]

Really bad last couple of minutes there.

 

[illmatic99]

Aminu. smh

 

[PDXFonz]

I don't feel that bad being down 8 at half. That is hardly an insurmountable amount of points.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Plumlee 1-6, Aminu 1-7, and Crabbe 1-4. Only down by 8. Let's pick up the energy in the second half!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

TOO MANY MISSED CHANCES!

 

[dviss1]

FUCK THESE REFS

For real. Chris Paul runs into Plumlee and flops on the ground like a little bitch and gets the call. That wasn't even close to being a blocking foul. The over and back rule is first to touch last to touch. The flopping little bitch kicks the ball into the backcourt and is able to retrieve it without a whistle. DeAndre Jordan plays well after the whistle snatching the ball from Lillard without a technical foul. That's a fucking Tech through and through!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Our need for an All-Star-caliber Big in the Paint is so dire. If Olshey doesn't make moves this off-season, it will be a travesty.

 

[BigGameDamian]

God we need tougher guys , we just lack edge and toughness.

I told you

 

[illmatic99]

Jordan swats at everything. Throw a pumpfake at his dumbass for goddsakes. For someone who went to Duke, Henderson has AWFUL fundamentals.

Win anyway.

watch out, Speed might lecture you about something that might be factually inaccurate about this statement...even if it's a minuscule fact.

Which part? The guy has no natural feel for putting the ball in the hoop. He just flings it at a certain angle with a certain amount of power and hopes it's the right combination.

 

[Chris Craig]

Not even worried...we've got their number...we are not down (emotional wise) and certainly not out

I honestly wonder if the Thunder would be interested in dealing Ibaka.

That would be a lucky shot, when it goes in.

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm not watching this shit. If the refs don't improve drastically, I'll I see you guys around draft time.

 

[jlprk]

Stotts has created a 1-man offense. That's OK if you have a superstar, top-3 at his position. But Lillard is only top-10 at his position.

Possession after possession, Lillard fucks it up. It's predictable what he'll do. Hog the ball. Don't involve your teammates. Then miss a Hail Mary.

I'm just cussing at the dick all game long.

 

[LuckyShot]

Good news is we're a Dame hot streak from being in the lead, but he needs to start ignoring how shitty the refs are.

 

[Denny Crane]

Our defense only needs to be a tad better. We can win this.

 

[blue9]

Half of our deficit hangs on Terry's shoulders: that stupid intentional foul on DJ, which - in what was easily foreseeable - resulted in two missed FTs by Ed for a 4-point swing.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We really need Harkless to not foul in this second half.

WTF. Have you seen the WIDE OPEN looks Aminu/Plums/Henderson are missing?

 

[kingslayer]

Aminu and Plums with some mental hiccups in the last 3 minutes there. Clips are happy to leave chief wide open and Plumlee is missing those point blank shots.

Still well within striking distance so hopefully Stotts lights a fire under their ass.

 

[Chris Craig]

Shaqs talking about us flopping....hahahahahaha

 

[cardova08]

It's definitely an interesting spot for Stotts in terms of Aminu. You could make the argument that the Blazers won't win the series without him hitting some 3s. But he hasn't really looked close on most. Do you continue to give him the green light? I just wouldn't want to rattle the guys confidence, so shot selection and shots in rhythm is what needs to be stressed.
That 3rd scoring option? Looked like Harkless early. Obviously the Clips want it to be Aminu. Need more from Crabbe and Hendo and something from Plums. He looks soft.

 

[Jon]

Fuck these refs. Just sayin.

 

[Jon]

We have to make those open shots though.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Aminu has to hit some open shots to take pressure off Lillard and CJ

 

[LuckyShot]

We really need Harkless to not foul in this second half.

I think at least 2 of his fouls were chicken shit calls by the refs.
