The OFFICIAL Blazers @ Pelicans Game Thread 12/30/2013.......

We have a better chance of Roy coming out of retirement then blowing out OKC. This team isn't built to blow anyone out

 

[dviss1]

Have Wes inbound

You have to have your best passer that is not Lillard inbound the ball. Unfortunately that is Batum. We needed Andre Miller....

 

[riverman]

Beating OKC will solve all these problems for me

We blew Philly out
OKC is without Westbrook, so you never know.....Then again Miami was without Lebron and Birdman on the second night of a back to back

 

[RoyToy]

It's one of the main arguing points in the forum.

People point out flaws like defense, bench, front court depth experience, relying too much on the 3 and others slam them for being trolls because of the record

Pretty much

Roy is prohibited from joining us until 2015. Therefore, there's a better chance that you and I are signed to veteran minimum contracts and combine for 55 points tomorrow in a blowout of OKC than Roy coming out of retirement to help us.

Certainly people are pointed out as trolling because regardless if what they are talking about is correct or not its not their intention of creating a valid discussion about it but instead to create a hot button topic to get under peoples skin.
No one here is going to argue that our D doesn't suck and our bench has proven lackluster and we have a lack of depth at certain positions

Nobody around here has said that the Blazers don't have flaws. Cripes, nobody expected them to be as good as they've been...well except Mags and you have to make allowances for him. The real question for you fun folks who seem to exist for no other reason than to point out the Blazers' short comings is what the hell do you want to do about them? OISG exists in a demented world of throwing out a trade that has no chance of happening and then ragging on continuously against the Blazers because they don't pull off his goofy idea. You, MM, never seem to progress past the point where you wanted to trade Aldridge and tank. That didn't happen, so what the fuck do you want the team to do?

 

[Carlito]

Btw..... How many close games in a row is that now? Are we on the verge of another massive losing streak like last year? Good thing bobcats and sixers are coming up

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd submit that since two of our starters aren't out with injuries, Sasha/Jeffries are gone and Leonard and Freeland have improved, that we probably won't have a 13-game losing streak.

And if we did, we'd still be seeded in the playoffs.

I have already said multiple times that since they decided to live in purgatory, they need to add a vet front court player that has playoff experience. Hopefully someone that can play the 4 and 5

They also need to stop relying on the 3 without going inside first

You're hardly alone in your suggestion about getting a vet big man, and I'm sure that Olshey is looking to see if there's a deal that make sense before the deadline. As for your second suggestion, I disagree that they don't do that. About 50% of the time they look to enter the ball to LMA. OTOH, the reason that they shoot threes so much is that they're damned good at making them. Percentage-wise, they're making them at a high clip and it beats taking mid-range jumpers.

 

[jlprk]

Look on the bright side. 2 losses in a row moves up our draft position.

Oh yeah. I forgot.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Team needs more from Nic...hope he hasn't lost interest..

 

[Mediocre Man]

Did we ever find out why Lopez didn't play in the 4th?

 

[craigehlo]

He's just back to being wildly inconsistent.

I'd like to see this team make a move for Deng who's on the block.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Can Darkwebs please start the next game thread? I like wins.

 

[HailBlazers]

Uh oh. You shouldn't have done that.

Questioning Batum doesn't fly on this forum.

Someone made an interesting point about him on another forum. He hardly sweats... I have concerns about his body language and that angry scowl he has on his face. What does that mean? Is basketball hell for him or what?

Idk about any of that, but it's mostly what you and craigehlo have said.

He's inconsistent and looks like he loses interest. It's just who he is.

Now I'm running for the hills before the S2 Mom's start berating me. Negative talk about their kids is not allowed.

Didn't we lose the last game that HCP started a thread for?

Damn, you haven't posted in about a month. Interesting.
