GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - FEB. 5TH, 2014, WEDNESDAY, 5:00 PM, ESPN & CSNNW

If you told me at the beginning of the season LA and Dame would play like shit on the road and we would still win, I wouldn't have believed you. Yet it happened.

And how is no one talking about how good Nico looked? Really active on both ends of the floor. If he can play at that level of effectiveness, we may find our way out of this mini-slump.

Most importantly, we won. On to Indy!

 

blue32, please remember the POR/IND game is on ESPN as well. You don't want to fuck yourself twice in one week.

 

He hasn't been erratic lately, he's been dreadful. I think his injuries really affected his play. Against the Knicks, he was active and looked great.

I don't care what his stats are. An effective Nico doesn't need 20/10. He just needs to be a facilitator, a threat to have to cover and an active defender. If we get that Batum back, we're in good shape.

Also, I bet you don't see LA and Damian have back-to-back crap games like that again.

 

Well, when the rest of the bench has been playing pretty poorly, you take a chance and give one of the end-of-the-bench players a chance and see if, perhaps, they can perform better than those normally ahead of them.

Gramps...

 

He's the number 2 or 3 forward in the ENTIRE NBA in assists. How could that possibly piss you off? The guy was a late first round pick in the draft...ANYTHING positive he does you should be thrilled. You have the right to be pissed if he was a lottery pic son!

 

Priceless...

Just sit back and enjoy the fact that we have arguably one of the top 5 or 6 SF in the game.

 

Heck yeah! locked and loaded! thank you.

 

Aldridge really stunk it up that game. I'm getting sick of him taking degree of difficulty "11" long turnaround fadeaways under pressure when Batum is standing wide open for a rhythm three. Is it my imagination or has Aldridge's shot selection and shooting gone into the toilet since he got named to the AS team? He had that huge game on national TV, and since then, it seems like it's been pretty bad.

Mo stunk too. That he scored late doesn't ameliorate that for me. It's like the guy with the Fatty Felton vid: just because Fatty made the one big shot doesn't negate all the shit he smeared all over the floor.

 

Sucks that we lost huh? Maybe next time!

 

Well, unlike the Wolves, we tend to win close games..and that's a good thing. For the folks out there hating on the team and ranting about how we won, you might want to follow one of the other 29 franchises out there if one better suits your need for instant gratification..just sayin...Don't like Blazer defense or LaMarcus jumpshot? You can become a Pacers fan with just one click of a button! Go for it! Just please cease sucking the joy out of a win for the rest of the fanbase...make a choice! This is truly a season for enjoyment! Complaining is so 2012.

 

You know you have arrived when we spend most of the thread criticizing the way we won. Ah, the luxury of being a good team.

 

Dame sucks, LA takes too many jumpers, and Mo is the anti-Christ.

Did I miss anything?

 

LMA 15/12/5 with zero turnovers. Rotated the ball when doubled for open 3s.

+17 for the game.

Yeah, he "stunk it up." FFS, some of you just post ridiculous things.

 

CJ should be benched.
