I dont know what else to ive believed harder than ever

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We've seen LMA have halfs like this then end the game hitting 10 straight.
His shot will start to drop.

Glad to see Dame,Batum and CJ having good games.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Memphis is not as good as we're making them look. They're going to get a nasty shock going up against Golden State.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Which members of the mob is paying Aldridge

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Fucking hell, 60 points for the grizz every half ain't gonna get it done.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Well, it could be worse than 13. We can get right back in this if the refs started doing their job correctly.

 

[magnifier661]

Seriously I wish Foster dies on the chicken bone he shoves down his throat at the half

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's like we're missing the one player who made us a good defensive team.

I think they can disrupt the GS offense a bit. 7 game series.

 

[VenomXL]

62 points? How many different ways can we get beat in this series?

If we had wes we would be sweeping Dallas by Monday...

 

[Jade Falcon]

Fucking foreigner...

Back to Mexico with him!

This doesn't make sense. You meant the refs. *facepalm*

They aren't doing anything special. Playing simple basketball and we aren't doing anything to make them do otherwise. That, and if are near them when they shoot or deny them a pass in the paint we get called for a foul, so we kind of have to just sit back and hope they miss I guess. On defense they just hip check us all over the floor and hand check and get away with it enough to be effective. Tic-tac-toe series over.

False. Golden state gets to set moving screens. Negates all defense.

Matthews isn't winning us this series. He would have been nice, but the Grizz swept us in the regular season. This is no fluke. This is a more talented roster with a better coach we are facing.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Steve Blake is making the impossible happen: I really miss Mo Williams.

 

[DUB]

I think the important thing is to keep going to him. His shot will start falling. LA can't impact the scoreboard if we get scared, and go away from him.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

It is a bit deflating that we had our best quarter of the series yet still get outscored.

 

[LuckyShot]

False. Golden state gets to set moving screens. Negates all defense.

LOL! Bogut...

 

[Blazinaway]

Steve who?

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I just ordered a matthews jersey cause he will be a blazer next year. I dont know how to believe any harder.

 

[PCmor7]

Even if Aldridge comes back, even if the Blazers somehow improbably win this series, this team has to make a big move in the offseason. I thought maybe adding a Jeff Green/Thaddeus Young type of 3/4 to the mix off the bench would be enough, but, as much as it pains me to say, I think we have to make a change at the starting 3.

I also think Blakey's about shot. If you want to go far in the playoffs, the Blazers need a better backup PG.

 

[jlprk]

Whoever the color man is, he sounds just like the great coach Chuck Daly, who ushered in the rough slow style that made Jordan's Bulls possible.

No, I rather we get the best shot possible than feed the guy shooting terribly just because he MIGHT get into a rhythm.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

I just showed up late. What the hell with LaMarcus?

 

[DUB]

It's taken us 2 1/4 games to relax, and start playing properly.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

You guys are watching a playoff game that Foster is reffing?

Gluttons for punishment huh? The Blazers should just skip the second half and refuse to play until the league is investigated.

That's PJ!!! He used to be our coach in the early 90's. Where have you been?

MIA with several air balls
