Game Thread PRESEASON GAME # 4: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT

Problem is a lot of teams does that to the Blazers and we don't get that call. Yes it is a foul in the NBA college High school it just a foul. Then I hear all the time that NBA refs have hard job and yes they do but when its right in there face its not hard to blow your whistle.

Again that is Terry's job to make sure we get the call. I do think certain coaches use the technique more so than others, Doc's teams usually play physical defense......... and flail their arms about on offense to get attention. Terry needs to have a discussion with the refs before every game he thinks it will be an issue.

Clippers know that the refs won't call it everytime.

I'm not to worried bout the clips, they had bring a starter back in to beat our third string and barely at that

Yeah but on the other hand 4th quarters of pre season games are irrelevant. When else will we be playing our 3rd team vs someone's 2nd team.....other than in a blow out?

In the playoffs rotations often get smaller. Their top 9 are still pretty good.....if they stay healthy.

Napier should get minutes

Hopefully only in blowouts.

I so can't wait for Festus to get back and get onto the floor.

Was thinking that all night

Jerry Cooney, the great white hope

I think Kelly Pavlik annexed that title. Boy that kid had a right hand that could send people to the moon. Too bad he was the human equivalent of a pair of bleeding gums....

I was at the game. Lillard was bad. 5 TO's is bad.

So if Lillard was bad, and the team looked better with him on the court than without.
Does that mean Portland is lotto bound?
Or are you one of those people who are going to ignore the 0-9 start to the 2nd quarter that was instantly changed when Lillard came back on the court?
0-9 to start the 2nd is BAD.
Watch the game.

Honki, meet Tlong.

Just watched the game
we played pretty bad. Officiating was pretty bad too.
Leonard is still thrash (surprise, surprise...)
Seriously I've been more impressed with vonleh. Hell, I've been more impressed with Layman than him...

I watched the game. Lillard was bad. If you don't understand that I don't know what to tell you.

It wasn't his best game but Cp3 has always kept Lillard in check. He likes to hand check Lillard but the refs allow it because he's cp3.

I like how you ignored my question.
But you also ignored everything else I said.
You're not wrong. 5 turnovers is bad. But the offense was worse without Lillard on the court.
zero for nine from the field to start the 2nd quarter with CJ/Turner/Nards/Crabbe on the court. That's Lillard's fault too right?
It's like I'm talking to a wall.

You still don't realize CP3 wasn't guarding Lillard right?
I guess you didn't listen to the Announcers say multiple times. luc mbah a moute was guarding Lillard. It let CP3 relax guarding Harkless.
Which proves you didn't watch or listen to the game.
Even other members on this forum have mentioned this to you....


Hi wall how are you today.

I'm aware CP3 didn't guard him every single time but he did guard him a couple of times and in the past has guarded him extremely well. That was the only point I was trying to make in that last post.

Edit: And my other point was that Lillard has always struggled against the Clips in his career. Regardless who is guarding him--they are physical with Lillard and get away with it. In the 2015-2016 season Lillard averaged 18 points a game against the Clippers. In the 2014-2015 season he averaged 15.8 points. In the 2013-2014 season he averaged 14.7 points. In the 2012-2013 he averaged 16 points. He struggles against the Clippers period.
