SUNS @ BLAZERS 02.19.13 - 7:00 PM - GAME THREAD

[Rhal]

Wes Johnson grabs the rebound as Aldridge and Hickson stand there and watch him.

Been the same thing the last 5 games now. The other team just out-hustling and working a Blazer team that looks about as disinterested as i'v ever seen them.

Where was Wes Johnson's man? Shouldn't he have boxed him out?

 

[Rhal]

The countdown is on until Aldridge is ready to bolt.

Won't be until next year.

 

[Blazinaway]

Where was Wes Johnson's man? Shouldn't he have boxed him out?

Blazers answer in unison - what's boxing out?

 

[EGame]

Won't be until next year.

Well yeah, true. But it will come if we don't make some moves to find key contributors either before the deadline or in the offseason. Maybe trading him for picks/other players may be better I dont know.

 

[KingSpeed]

We've been outscored 162-110 in last 6 quarters.

Nic is a statue on rebounds.

 

[Blazinaway]

Holton - "Blazers didn't play bad", dude you are ridiculous

ouch

Defensively they played like shit. Offensively; they aren't playing that badly

I think we will acquire some guys in the off season and LMA will wait and see how good we are next year. If we suck I expect a trade request before all-star break.

it's PHX, they are bad on D, we better be decent at least and frankly our offense looked prettty sloppy

Well it really doesn't matter. Their offense wasn't bad so far

seriously Mags, was it their offense that looked so good or our D that made it look good, I say it was the latter easily

 

[magnifier661]

Man I don't know how much I can take

 

[Nikolokolus]

The only thing worse than the Blazers sucking it up is listening to Wheels talk about it.

I love Wheels' call during games, but the wrist slitting routine when they're stinking up the joint bugs the shit out of me.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't get the bitching about Nolan. We were +4 with him in and he actually hustled. Lillard was getting killed on D. [Checks stats to confirm impression, finds that it's worse than he thought: Lillard -20.]

I've thought Lillard has sucked a lot lately (and not just in the Rookie game). Maybe he's just exhausted.

 

[Rhal]

Agreed, our D is just horrible. They cut in we collapse they get open shots or just lay it in.

 

[Blazinaway]

Man I don't know how much I can take

I don't think Caleb is back next yr

Our defense is the key. I didn't disagree with that. They are shooting 67%. But they are making everything. So it's mainly our d and a little of them being lights out

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If you had to point fingers as to why our D is so appalling, who's most to blame? My guess: Hickson and Lillard. But everybody contributes to the overall suckitude.

Shhhhh!

Don't bring out facts like this, they'll call you out for "trolling".

He doesn't really look physically exhausted as mentally.

did U watch the layup drill?

 

[EGame]

Love the bench points 24-4 in favor of Suns.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

We're right on average.

 

[Blazinaway]

We're right on average.

man is that depressing

 

[Nikolokolus]

Man I don't know how much I can take

Just 28 games more to go. Hang in there big guy.

 

[B-Roy]

We're right on average.

You're acting like that's a good thing.
