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

[Chris Craig]

At 2s, they are 18-34. We are 12-34, only 2/3 the makes on the same attempts.

At 3s, they are 0-2. We are 5-14.

So we've wasted a lot of tries on 3s, but have taken no fewer 2s. Something really sucks here.

Free throws

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Okay! Duece dropped! My body is ready for round two! Let's fuck some Condors up!

 

[ripcityboy]

Well this is a good opportunity to see how the team reacts and more importantly how Stotts adjusts.

Yeah the defensive adjustments will be BLINDING!

 

[LuckyShot]

We held them to ZERO 3pt shots made. They did shoot 50% for the half though.

It wasn't due to great defense, it was due to the fact they had an actual GAME PLAN that was tailored to utilize their strengths against our weaknesses. Our post defense blows and we can't protect the rim, so why would they waste time flinging up 3s?

But we don't do game plans, we just play our same old shit that every body sees coming.

 

[Sedatedfork]

What great coaching... "c'mon guys"

 

[Chris Craig]

Without their 14 ref points wed be in the lead

 

[Sedatedfork]

Three times the FT attempts, lol

 

[PDXFonz]

McHale such a cool guy. Very respectful about the blazers. Feel bad for how disgustingly disrespected he was in Houston.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Harkkkkkk

This. Well said.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think Terry Stotts has some Ernie Kent in him.

 

[dead247]

Stotts with the obligatory "be aggressive" speech. Not that I disagree. Let's stay aggressive and play our game.

3s can be way more efficient.

We have 15 points on 3s. Makes up for the deficit in FTA.

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless scores right away. 4th foul incoming.

 

[dead247]

Good start

 

[BlayZa]

How could you be so Harkless

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Stotts with the obligatory "be aggressive" speech. Not that I disagree. Let's stay aggressive and play our game.

Be aggressive, B-E aggresive!

 

[EGame]

oh my word aminu

 

[LuckyShot]

NO GOOD CLIPPER!

 

[LuckyShot]

Really, Aminu? REALLY?

 

[Cippy91]

Fucking aminu man. Jesus Christ

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

CJ needs to track Redick

 

[EGame]

get

rid

of

aminu

 

[BlayZa]

they just need to slow things down a little, so many easy misses.

and FUCKS sakes aminu, stepping out? aRRRRGGGGHHHHH

 

[LuckyShot]

They could run that basic curl for Redick every time down and we'd never adjust and lose by 40.

 

[BigGameDamian]

They can't guard us!!

 

[dviss1]

I don't give a damn what any of you have to say Mason Plumlee has to go. He can't play defense or score.

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL Aminu wasn't even out of bounds. Fuck you, refs. Literally just doing what the Clippers tell you to do.

 

[Cippy91]

So Blake griffin really made the ref believe that shit and he went with blames word? I'm fuckkng done with this game

 

[EGame]

They can't guard us!!

clearly. not guarding aminu is working wonders
