Game Thread GAME# 77: BLAZERS @ NETS - APRIL 6, 2015 - MONDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

And shouldn't we expect Afflalo to step up in a game like this...

 

Man our third string players suck

 

This. This is a game where we really need Arron. So far he's 2-7 with 2 rebounds and nothing else. If someone is going to step up, it has to start with him.

 

Still don't understand throwing this game away. Goodbye HCA.

 

Well, one thing we've learned tonight (just in case we didn't already know it) - we're not the Spurs. We can't rest guys and still compete, not even with a crappy 7th seed Eastern Conference.

Yep.

 

We'll see. Season isn't over.

 

We were asking for too much thinking we could win this game with a hungry nets team.

Great game by cj tho and let's just pray for no injuries. Hopefully Crabbe shows us something as well..

I'm just shocked Stotts would concede home court advantage by not bringing the full firepower on this trip it's not like these guys fly coach

 

This would be such a stupid game to lose. Frustrating. I'm not saying we can't win but Lillard will have to exhaust himself to do it. Makes no sense that we all see this and Stotts doesn't.

 

Arron and Allen: Please come to the party. We need you.

 

What we've really learned is Dame is not at the level we think he is. I would of thought he would dominate, but he's been turning the ball over and not able to handle the blitz pressure

 

If, heaven forbid, we are out of this game at the beginning of the 4th, I hope to god Stotts rests Lillard the rest of the way instead of fighting to close the gap at the end.

 

This nets team is so bad. Handing them a win is frustrating

 

Yep, that's what I said way back at the beginning of the thread. It makes no sense to throw away a winnable game when you've worked so hard all year to have a shot at HCA.

Alright, do we have a comeback in us? Never say die!

 

Yikes. Down 16 at the half. Outscored 32-13 in the second quarter? That's brutal.

 

Didn't Gee start for Cleveland after LeBron left?

 

Totally agree with you. I don't know if the scouting report has caught up with Lillard but he's not as good as he was the prior two years. Ironically some stats are career highs but just strictly eye test wise he's clealry not better. I don't know what it is but we go from arguing if he's top 5 pg to barley top 10 now. I hope LMA doesn't pick this observation up

 

If we're gonna win this game, we need to hold Brooklyn under 90 points. We don't have the guns to beat them with offense. We must defend.

 

Wow. Lopez is a complete No-Show in this game. Same with Blake. Afflalo not much better. These three guys need to bring something to the 3rd quarter. I expected more from them.
