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

They'll show up for Indiana. We always show up for good teams. Whether we win or not....eh...

 

We're 5-5 in our last 10 games. Not the end of the world, especially considering we've played some good teams, but we've really played some stinkers in those 10 games. I guess the bright side is that we didn't play our best and still come up short, but it's concerning that we can be so inconsistent. Our defense is pretty consistently poor.

 

Remember how we were all bragging how they could go .500 the rest of the season and still make the playoffs in December?.....

 

man, you seem to have a hard time enjoying the game Sinobas...this is a road win in the Garden and we're 35-14...enjoy it a bit and I think we'll kick Indiana's butt next game.

 

I think we've seen the last of Meyers Leonard for awhile

 

Nic was closing out on the shooter so he obviously was moving toward him. The shooter is allowed his vertical plane from the floor to the ceiling. If Nic created the contact by moving forward the foul is on him. Most often than not when there is contact on a shooters arm it is the Defense's fault.

 

I enjoyed the streatches where they were playing decent basketball, not so much the horrible play of LA, Meyers, Mo and the long scoring droughts. It's a "win" but they played like losers. This effort would not have beaten many other teams.

 

We can only hope. I like the kid, but he needs to go to Boise and get some regular playing time, and just play.

 

They played like losers but won? How does that work?

When OKC pulls one out against a bad team with Durant hitting a late shot - are they losers?

 

Because the other team can play even crappier. It doesn't matter how crappy two teams are when they face each other, or how bad they play, one has to win, that's the way sports work.

 

I am not bitching about the officiating, but on that play that is not what happened. I know that was the call, but Nic went straight up, not into him. It was a bad call and it is being called too often on all teams IMO

 

Seems to me, in that case, the winning team would have had to play like winners. You're one, or the other, that's the way sports work (except for soccer).

 

I am stunned how bad he looks, almost impossible to believe he has gotten worse but I think he has

 

Batum shot 9-14, the rest of the team shot 21-65..32%

 

This is actually now on page 20 of 21.

 

He's simply not a professional basketball player. He should not be in this league. He better save up his money because he has no future in this sport, and no business being in our rotation. I'm starting to question Stotts' sanity.

 

Wright played a decent game and defended Melo really well, made a couple shots, got a steal, rebounded, Mo made some game changing shots, Nic actually played a really good game. LaMarcus about had a triple double. This was a grind it out win. Go Blazers!
