Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - 4/27/16, WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), NBATV & KGW

[Strenuus]

Can't play much worse and only down five? We'll win this game.

This.

 

[Darkwebs]

I have a good feeling about the 2nd half. I think Stotts will make adjustments and the players will come out with more energy. Plus, our guys will better know what to expect from the Clippers, so we'll start feeling more comfortable in the game and our shots will fall.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If you don't wear a diaper during games so that you can shit yourself when we suck you are a bad fan.

I'm enjoying a delicious Blackberry Hard Cider from the Atlas Cider Company out of Bend.

 

[Sinobas]

If they lose this game, fuck game 6. No point if having this team be in the playoffs.

 

[oldfisherman]

Relax, Dame is going to explode in the second half, and rip the Clippers hearts out.

 

[Blazinaway]

Damn. There's more pathetic crying and bitching in this thread than from Rivers on the sideline.

and its well deserved for the most part, a pathetic half from POR, just an average 2nd half should win this, lets hope that happens

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Well, gonna put on a fresh pair of underwear. We got this guys.

The Clips came out flat and defeated in the first quarter. That was our chance. That was when we were supposed to stomp on them. We completely blew it. We let them build up their confidence. We let them start to develop a rhythm. And here we are. This is just really disappointing. Most of the team came out scared. It's like the added pressure of now being expected to win was too much for them. An Dame.... I don't know what the fuck he's doing.

 

[Sinobas]

I had a bad feeling that Crawford would go off and we'd lose, but he's not shooting well and we're still behind. No words for how pathetic it would be to lose this.

 

[Chris Craig]

We need come out of the locker room like we got a pair

 

[KingSpeed]

Yay! It's maxiep! Welcome back. Good attitude. I'm at the game. I think we'll make good halftime adjustments.

enjoy, and thanks for supporting one of our local bizzes, I am downing too many Black Butte Porters

We'll win game 6 big no matter what happens tonight.

Sounds sweet.

I'm drinking a Kers Light.

4 deep and I'm not sure if I have a buzz yet.

anything but the implosion we have seen so far!

We're just not very good on the road.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well watching that halftime clip they showed 3 horrible horrible turnovers that all led to dunks so that seems to be a big swing right there. Dame will respond and Stotts will adjust. If we don't respond as a team then we just don't deserve it but this is good for our young team even though I hate it right now

 

[Draco]

Clippers are doubling the shit out of Dame. He needs to keep passing the ball. My fear is he tries to force shots when doubled. Thatll never work. We need to watch for fast breaks and transition on defense. If we stop the easy dunks and open layups they struggle to score.

 

[DreamKillah]

This.

BLECCH, we're making Dick Rivers' sh*thead kid look good . . . That's just unacceptable . . .

 

[Sinobas]

We'll win game 6 big no matter what happens tonight.

Then we'll lose game 7 in LA.

 

[Natebishop3]

We're playing like shit....

But WTF is up with the goal tends? Two OBVIOUS goal tends that weren't called.

And some scrub like Prigioni gets to man handle Dame? On one of those break away dunks he full on grabbed Lillard's arm and yanked him away from the ball. Are the refs even watching the game?

If you hear a knock it's Blazerwookie

 

[Natebishop3]

Here's what I don't understand....

The double/trap comes when we try to screen for Dame.

So...... why screen? Why not just let him go to work on one of these scrubs? Can he not take Rivers or Prigioni one on one?

 

[Sinobas]

Imagine what the full strength Warriors would be doing to us right now, we'd lose 200-50

 

[Cippy91]

Don't forget too that there is a man waiting at the rim that can't shoot free throws that has blocked a lot of dames shot even when he beats the defender so there is that.

He can take them one on one when the opposition has to honor thy rules and actually worry about being called for a foul.

 

[Hobbesarable]

It's time to make some adjustments at half time and wake the players up from their collective coma (with Harkless as the exception).

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Also please mix up the pick n roll defense. Rivers is more of a scorer than a passer or shooter. Either trap him occasionally and make him pass out of it or go under the damn screen and make him a shooter.

 

[noknobs]

There are some absolutes in life. Such as, if Deandre Jordan shoots a better percentage from the line than your entire team, then you'll lose.
