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

Good grief.

 

[Strenuus]

Our _efense is so good!

 

[BrianFromWA]

There's more to playing PG than shooting 3's. He was pretty mediocre in both the Clipps and Heat games.

fair enough--I immediately assumed "shooting slump".

 

[VenomXL]

This team isnt going anywhere until they find a way to play some defense.

Seeing the Heat 2nd unit play hustle D and communicating should have been an eye opener for the Blazers. They actually look like they are getting worse.

Wide open 3. Splash! by Dame

 

[magnifier661]

Love the passing though

 

[craigehlo]

He's been looking way too tentative lately. This is a perfect game to start shooting more.

 

[BrianFromWA]

there we go, Damian.

 

[magnifier661]

Lol at wright

 

[magnifier661]

Pretty funny that wright is shooting the three above average and we complain

 

[magnifier661]

Love Aldridge

 

[BrianFromWA]

Stiemsma in for Ajinca.

MB: "It's a talented roster!"

 

[Strenuus]

Yep. Last shot should always go to Freeland...

 

[LuckyShot]

What a shitty first quarter.

Who knew MB is a homer for the other team as well?

 

[VenomXL]

That was like 22 points in the paint given up in the first.

 

[craigehlo]

I'd force Tyreke to shoot. No way you let him get that close to the hoop. That's the only damn shot he can make.

 

[B-Roy]

I can't believe the coaching staff still has no answer for teams doubling Lillard on the pnr. Seems like it should be pretty easy to make teams pay with all the shooting on the floor.

At some point you would think the coaches would call some schemes to clog the paint? Right?

 

[magnifier661]

There you go mo

It's worked amazingly well the last several games. With the ball out of his hands, the play breaks down and there's not much of a "Plan B."

 

[BlazerBeav]

Seems like we should slow it down a bit, playing a bit ragged.

 

[magnifier661]

Wow getting out rebounded by 10 so far

 

[Darkwebs]

Floater by Damian!!

 

[B-Roy]

Why is Wright playing Evans so tight. Do they read the scouting report?

 

[Boise Blazer]

Lillard could do that floater so often if he wanted.

 

[magnifier661]

Floater!

 

[Strenuus]

I like the Pels announcers. They aren't big homers. lol.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wright!
