[Game Thread] Portland @ Indiana

[bobobolas1]

grizz fan here and supporting blazzers tonite.good luck!!

[Twith]

Any other teams starting 4 white guys at any point this season?

[Milkdud]

Indy is one guy short of a whiteout in their starting lineup.

[mojomarc]

Fitz--all I can say is I have no idea what team you're watching if you don't think Joel's a better defensive presence than Frye or Aldridge.

[Milkdud]

kind of an ugly game so far, the blazers really need to give Martell a shot tonight, keep running picks for him.

[Wizenheimer]

I wonder what the NBA record is for 3pt attempts for one team in a game is?

[BlackMamba]

yuck

ooohhh maaaaaaaaaannnn... that lineup looks light years away from where the blazers are right now... so wrong...

[BlackMamba]

well, that last offensive posetion was pretty bad, the blazers weren't moving around, giving options, and aldridge making that long air ball shouldn't be.

[Ripcity4life]

This is NOT a Playoff Team .. NO WAY , NO HOW .


The thing is i am not sure what can be done without a trade. However making a good trade in season can be kind of hard.

I realize Roy is not there but this is pathetic and KP does not want to mess with this team. OMG


Also i am getting so tired of hearing Barrett and Rice are blaming everything but the Blazers themselves for playing poorly. They are tired aka Hit the Wall , Let down / shock , McRoberts hometown effect among other things.

[BlackMamba]

thats what i like about jack, he's fearless and always attacks the rim.

[Milkdud]

someone needs to tell the broadcasters williams on the pacers is in his 2nd year.

[Ripcity4life]

Jack might be fearless but that can also become RECKLESS too it's a double edged sword. The bad thing is we have seen the bad side more then the good specially when it counts over the past few games.

[Ripcity4life]

Does this team even know HOW to box out. Heck with offense take a practice and teach them how to box the F' out. Also fine every player 50 Bucks for every missed box out and IF the failed boxout leads to a basket for the other team upgrade fine to 150 Bucks.

[doogul]

Wow. The poor performance against Detroit I expected. But against Indiana? I realize it's not over yet, but even without Roy, we should be blowing this team out. All they do is chuck a bunch of 3 pointers and brick most of them. (Not a diss on Indiana, I realize they have some key players out)

Dunno what to say, other than...we need Roy back, and he DEFINITELY deserves to be an all-star after seeing this. The team's offense looks horrible without him.

[BlackMamba]

10 pts., 3 mins, it could still be a reachable game, but honestly the blazers have looked clueless at both ends...

[J~Rush]

Man Brandon Roy is good.

[BlackMamba]

wow... the pacers are shooting 38%...



and yes, roy isn't good, his excellent...

[The Sebastian Express]

The Mikes get worse and more annoying as every game passes.

[resurrect_ha28]

I can't for the life of me figure out why Nate sticks with Jack for so long. I understand we are short handed, but it isn't like Sergio can't drive recklessly and throw the ball away to defenders. At least he can do it with a little flair. Ugh.

[Mr Odd]

No energy by the Blazers, theyre hitting a wall.

Jack played a little more within himself, didnt
force it to much but still had the most turnovers.

Its a shame Nate didnt play McRoberts.. .even
if it was just 2mins, it was his home state.. .
