Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 1, GAME 3: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - 4/23/16, SATURDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), ESPN & KGW

Mason Plumlee's 21 rebounds tonight are three shy of Bill Walton's franchise record for rebounds in a playoff game (24, 6/3/77 at PHI).

Harkless is earning himself a nice contract in several months.

Damian Lillard's 32 points match a playoff career high (4/27/15 vs. Memphis).

This is Popavich legend status.

Looks like we may have solved the traps. Just tell Dame and CJ to run around it really fast and now the Clippers are fucked playing 3 on 5. LOL

 

[trailblazer18]

1 down, 3 to go!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Stotts and team responded well by changing their defensive scheme and holding Redick to 5 pts. Gotta do it again and even the series, baby!

Blazers in 6!

The Hack-a-Jordan strategy was a resounding success tonight. Somewhere @B-Roy is smiling down on us from heaven.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I know, but someone earlier posted that he can't do any of those things. I was being tongue-in-cheek

i was serious when i liked your post. I don't think he is much of a dribbler except maybe one on a straight line and his passing very average.

did he just die in the last couple hours or something, or did you mean @mgb?

 

[PDXFonz]

FUCK YEAH BOYSSSSSSSSSS!

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

B-Roy didn't post tonight, so I assumed the worst happened.

NO GOOD CLIPPERS!

FUCK YOU GLENN "CRY ME SOME" RIVERS!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm so stoked! Let's go Blazers!!!

LOL, no. I was making a joke. B-Roy was arguing the validity of the Hack-a-Jordan strategy the other day and I'm sure he's nodding his head somewhere tonight.

Defense was excellent tonight

 

[Dom McBlazer]

So, Doc Rivers, tell me more about how this game belonged to the Clippers?!?!?!?!

What did Rivers say exactly?

Walton also may have been the last time our center had 9 assists in a playoff game as well. I understand Plumlee is not a perfect center, but with his passing skills, mobility, and handles.....I think you can surround him with a PF who can compliment him and end up with a pretty good front court. And what if Plums improves on his weaknesses? I don't think he has reached his ceiling.

This deserves its own thread. Plums is quickly becoming a favorite for me.
