GAME THREAD: WARRIORS @ BLAZERS - 11/2/14, SUNDAY, 6 PM (PST), CSNNW

I remember the chatter about how Lillard was going to use the U.S. team snub as motivation to really get after it - not workin so far

 

The other easy obvious is James Harden in the playoffs. I helped you defeat my argument twice.

 

agree, let's give it 10 games at least and see if the short term stink turns back to perfume

 

Anybody notice any time that Kaman got the ball in the post 3 guys collapsed on him. If our outside shooting was worth a shit right now we could have taken advantage of that.

 

I shall be brief: fuck.

 

Whose concerned?

I will say this, we wouldn't have seen a consecutive set of plays in the final 10 secs last season like we saw tonight. Terrible end bound passes at the end of the game.

Other than that, the energy right now is not good. And that is suprising, I really thought they would have been ahead of the game than this.

 

Not to sound gloom and doom. But if LA's teammates can't pick up their level higher than that and I mean all of them and he sustains, we will lose him at the end of the year.

 

I would like to see the replay that convinced the refs that there was conclusive evidence to overturn their call on the court. They played it about 100 times and not once did it look "conclusive." Dickheads. I usually don't blame the refs, and we did choke, but nonetheless the refs shafted us. That was a painful ending.

 

I agree it was absolutely not conclusive. It should have never come down to that though. We should be able to inbound the ball somewhere other than to average ball handler in the corner where he can easily be trapped. It almost felt like the refs were punishing us for botching that play so bad. When it doubt, give it to the team that executed better. Don't bail out the team that looked like a 3 ring circus.

 

A couple positives for the marketing side. I like the new floor. Think it looks great. And I'm digging the new starting introduction theme song replacing the bizarre sound that was used going back to the Damon Stoudamire days. Not only did they play it when introducing the starters but I think they used it again in the fourth. Has a jammin beat.

 

Whomever said we suck at giving proper screens; yes. The quality of our screens pales in comparison to other teams. I'm not sure if thats our C's fault or Dames, but he does not shed his defender as easily as some do.

 

Instead of shooting the 3 off the screen or attacking the rim, Damian and Batum pass the ball off to the side so LA can take a long jumper. Absolutely stupid.

 

bet you say that to all the ladies..(joking of course)

 

I think it really is Dame's fault. Kaman, lopez and even freeland set very good screens. Batum is taking advantage of them.

I will admit that Aldridge sets weak ass screens

 

Kaman is going to teach Meyers how a man sets a screen.

Just wait.

And wait.

And wait....

Just kidding Meyers. Get in there and bust some chops!

 

I hope Meyers plays tomorrow night. He looked good in that last preseason game. We need his scoring and energy. He's a third year player now. Time to step up.
