GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ SUNS - 11/27/13, WEDNESDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Wouldn't be too upset if we don't win, but it would suck if two out of our three losses on the season came against the Suns.

 

We have a nice three day break after this one, so it's important that we match their energy (which we failed to do on opening night).

 

Yeah I see this as another ugly game like the last match up with Phoenix. The problem against Phoenix has been the lack of ability to get those good attempts you mention. And LMA' shot selection is often predicated by ball movement by the rest of the team. Against Phoenix we have had difficulty handling the ball and making the extra pass. Not sure if it is lazy on our part or just really good defense on the Suns part. But I am anxious to see if we have made the necessary adjustments. I hope Bledsoe plays so we know for sure. As he is a big part of it. This may actually be a good game for Earl Watson to play. He plays tough D and he is our best ball handler.

 

Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes
Suns coach Jeff Hornacek says Eric Bledsoe (shin) will have a MRI done today as a precaution and is game-time decision tonight vs #Blazers.

 

Bledsoe adds another dimension to that team so him being out gives us a better chance to win which I like but then again yes I agree it would be a good test to see where this team is at if he plays.

I must miss all of Dragic’s bad games, because every time I watch this guy he is getting buckets all over the floor, making tight passes and drilling open shots. I saw some of a great game he had this year against I think Sacramento. This goes back to his days on that first team of his in the playoffs when out of nowhere he was killing it off the bench. I don’t see how any team slows him down.

If the game is tight at the end send Mo at Dragic head first!

 

Agreed about Dragic. Maybe its cuz we only see his games against the Blazers but he looks like all star against. So he is really underrated or sucks ass against other teams.

 

Yeah he is insanely good when he plays against us. It's not like his shots aren't contested either. We are trying to hound the shit out of him and he is making Kobe-type shots!

 

We should make this Gamethread dedicated to MGB!

 

LaMarcus and Dame get their touch back tonight.

Fropez and Freeland gonna bust some heads.

Blazers are winning this game.

That is all.

Go Blazers.

 

PAY BACK TIME!!!! Earlier start! Stoked to see some hot shooting and angry, greedy Blazers.

 

Not only do the Blazers win this one! but they win by at least 15.

This ones in the bag.

 

The whole forum is now dedicated.

 

I predict a TRob sighting. The Morris Thugs need to watch their backs.

 

wait mgb passed away? ahhhhh man

 

Headed to the game now! Go Blazers!

 

So for the past week I have been in a great mood. Even when tired and exhausted from a long day of work, I find myself walking to the car pumping my fists in excitement over the Blazer season. No way this winning percentage last all year, but this game against the Suns tonight is particularly big for me . . . I have Thanksgiving with the extended family tomorrow. If the Blazers win tonight and make it 12 in a row, no matter whatever any family member says or does, I will be smiling all day long.

I need to continue this internal Blazer Bliss to get me through Thanksgiving with my family.


Go Blazers!

 

Why do you feel sooo down bro? I've noticed you've been a little testy the last couple months.

 

Do I sound down? I've been in a great mood lately (mainly due to the Blazers)

Last couple months . . . probably stress from the job. I use the board to vent (you guys are my therapy), but usually in the OT board

 

Then if you need release, I recommend watching "Flash Gordon - defender of the universe"
