BLAZERS @ THUNDER 03.24.13 GAME THREAD - 4:00 PM

...

 

...terrible second half!

 

Eric sometimes I can't tell if you really believe the bullshit you post, or if you're just trying to get a rise out of people.

 

Option C) The Thunder PR department arranged it

 

Tonight's goose egg goes to Aldridge. He rebounded and defended well; but his shot was off all night. If Aldridge actually played like he normally does against okc; we got a win.

It sucks cause batum had such an awesome game. If batum, Lillard and Aldridge perform offensively; we win a lot of games. Unfortunately all three don't have good games at the same time.

 

It was an implosion...of eric proportions.

 

There were some bright spots we kept up with them till 4th where it got out of hand. Leonard was 4-4, Hickson shot well, Maynor moved well, set up people, splashed threes 10pt.s

 

realistically the season is and has been over, but the guys play hard and i respect that and if we make good moves this offseason we will be better next year. Yeah there is a very outside chance we could make the playoffs but we are not going anywhere anyway. This team is fun to watch and fun to root for, I prefer getting the pick this yr but whatever happens I am happy with the season, we did better than nost thought and have a gem in Lillard.

 

Great effort in that game by the Blazers, good to see the defensive energy.

A few more made shots, LMA shooting like normal or Lillard making some crunch time 3s and we'd have been right there.

 

Refs sucked tonight. I wonder if they got under the Blazers skin? It was close until the refs made that bullshit call where the thunder guy jumped over Hickson's back and they called a foul on Hickson, the Thunder drained a 3 on that. They Ibaka with an obvious goaltend not called. One of the thunder guards took a hop on one foot before draining a 3. Batum had a clean block on the fast break, foul called. Then Lillard knocked to the floor as he was penetrating, no call. That's 12 points right there....

 

LaMarcus had a craptastic game. He was horrible.

 

I didn't get to see the game, but the box score says LaMarcus had 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Seems like a pretty effective game. But he shot like shit. Shooting like shit and playing like shit (or "quitting") are not the same thing. Did he really suck eggs all over the court, or was his shot just off?

 

He did not have one of his better games. LMA has to work to hard for his points. Bad things happen when big guys put the ball on the floor. He and Lillard need to work on some lobs. He should be getting 4-6 points more a game on easy baskets. We saw what a difference Miller made for him.
