ROUND 2, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ SPURS - 5/6/14, TUESDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), TNT

Its like the spurs board hired some dudes in Bangladore to post in this game thread.

 

I realize you guys are hurting right now....

Just talking trash.

Just realize we are NOT Houston where you can get fluke shots to fall to win a series. I still expect this series to be quite tough for my Spurs and wouldnt be suprised if either team won in 6 or 7.

 

It worked for the Miami Heat last year, didn't it?

 

And boom goes the dynamite.

 

Its not even talking trash. You are just making blind guesses in to the wind and taking obvious strengths of your team and presenting them as they are revolutionary ideas no one has ever heard of.

 

GG Blazer fan. Warned y'all about Splitter, but Baynes was a massive surprise. Didn't think Pop would play him...

 

Lopez outplayed Splitter tbh

 

Guys, I'm scared. That wasn't just a fluke 3pt barrage or an odd off night from us. That was a methodical dismantling of every one of our strengths. This team has been blown out maybe 5 times in the last 89 games-- highly discouraging that it was so thorough and steadfast in JUST the first game of the series. Unless we can change our entire defensive philosophy and get the players to actually buy into it in a few days, this series is over.

And for gods sake, stop going down by double digits in the first quarter. We did that shit against Houston as well, but their D sucks and we can get back easily. Not possible vs SA.

 

LA had 32/14?

 

Not on D tbh. LA was a no factor until the game was out of hand.

 

I'm not worried. Teams get blown out and exposed like this all the time and adjust. It is a well-coached system and team with stars, but we executed really poorly and were intimidated from the start. That ends now, we'll feel more comfortable for Game 2.

 

The entire Blazer team wasn't a factor until the game was out of hand

Splitter didn't do anything special that Aldridge hasn't seen before. I'm really not even giving it a second thought tbh.

 

In garbage time. He'll average a double-double due to Splitter being an average rebounder for a big, but other than that I don't see him shooting 50%< in this series.

 

Aight, we'll give it another game or two. It is a small sample size.

 

Whatever, dude. You clearly didn't see LA demolishing both Asik and Howard in the previous series. I hope you fools keep on single covering LA with Splitter. He was getting around him with ease in the second half.

I'd like to see you here gloating after a loss.

 

Aldridge will adjust to the D the rest of the series. Just getting those nervous ticks and expectations out the way.

 

Until Splitter does something that I've never seen before, I have no reason to think Aldridge won't continue to put up stats

Aldridge was getting the normal shots he always gets. Nothing special happened.

The Blazers as a team just weren't ready for this game

 

This is true

I feel like I've reciprocated the Tlong trolling and since he also apologized, good game guys

 

The shit storm of pessimism was so swift that it became blended together like a milkshake.
