GT: Trailblazers vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Wed Mar 16, 2016 11:43 pm

When: 6:30 PM MT Mar. 17th 2016
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio TX

This is going to be another interesting one for us. The Blazers have been playing decent lately and with Dame and CJ in the lineup you just can't count them out.

Go Spurs!!

If we play with the same intensity as we did last game, we should be fine. If we play like we did the last 20 games before that, I'll be nervous.

Very true. Hopefully things keep going the way they've been going because i'm really liking the way we're playing right now.

I'd really hate Kevin Martin if he didn't play for us. The rate at which he draws contact and fouls is just wrong..

We are getting good shots, just not hitting them. I like this much better than a parade of fade away jumpers like we usually do. I'm really hoping our offense is starting to come together.

Defensively, we are letting them get to the basket too easily. Lillard is being more passive than us actually stopping him like the announcers are saying.

Wow, crazy play to end the half. I can't believe they called that foul. Great block by Kwahi before that.

Agreed. Our defense is letting us down tonight. We've been playing well in stretches but the effort hasn't been consistent.

Crazy play indeed. It should of been 3 shots though.

I'm surprised they called anything at all actually. Usually they let all of that contact go on something like that.

The Parker LMA pick and roll has been unstoppable tonight.

This is gonna be one of Tony's easiest double doubles of the year. Blazers have no answer for him and LMA.

Great start to the 3rd. I LOVE that everything offensively is moving twoard the basket. No stupid fade aways or crazy flailing shots.

I was really expecting more from Vonleh this year. Kid has such greats tools but just hasn't really but it together for the Blazers yet this year.

Tony is making Lillard work on defense which is helping us more than we know.

Return to San Antonio Spurs
