damn blake go chill on the bench.

Im stuck in class, someone gif that shit.

 

[Black Mamba]

Gallo is beasting.

Flop City

 

[Roger Danish]

Gallo's too inconsistent to be a #1 option, imo. But when he's on, god damn is he on.

What's stopping Denver from making a big run in the West???

 

[KingGondo]

I like this new, less thuggish version of the Thuggets.

 

[Black Mamba]

What's stopping Denver from making a big run in the West???

What stopped them last year? I just don't think their team is built for the playoffs.

 

[StickSoldier]

Fuckin thank you Denver. I'm so tired of the Clips man, Griff is almost annoying to me as LBJ or Wade. All that fake ass flopping and shit. I think Griff and CP3 have combined for more flopping this year already, than the past 5 years of the Spurs as a team ..

 

[hobz360]

What a meltdown by the Clips, wow!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Isiah Thomas / Marcus Thornton / Tyreke Evans / JJ Hickson / Chuck Hayes

Keith is such a fucking liar. He said no more SF for 'Reke.

We lose this game, and it's pretty much all on Smart on his WTF 4th quarter lineups.

 

[Roger Danish]

But I think they can take any other team in the West in a 7 game series.


EDIT: If they hold onto the #2 seed, they'll definitely make the WCF.

 

[reilo]

LaMarcus is so great reading the defense and finding the open shooter.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Tinsley just passed Devin Harris's season high in assists..

Can't believe tonight might be the first game all season where a Jazz player had ten assists in a single game :/

What stopped them last year? I just don't think their team is built for the playoffs.

They weren't that bad in the playoffs. They matched up badly with the Thunder and still played them hard to the end of most games even with Afflalo hurt and with Gallinari choking really bad.

 

[Mutagenic]

Wes Matthews has zero hops.

 

[SamuraiX-]

<3 Isiah Thomas <3

Heyo, Wes, u mad son?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

G-Force is averaging 19 points on 62% shooting at home and 8 points on 32% shooting on the road, how does that happen?

 

[KingGondo]

But I think they can take any other team in the West in a 7 game series.

Yep. Terrible matchup for Denver. We can match their athleticism and run when we need to, and our half-court D can neutralize their offensive strengths. And they can't guard Westbrook.

 

[reilo]

Wes Matthews has zero hops.

He's got plenty, he's just terrible in a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 fastbreak. He should have passed that back to Wallace.

No, he really doesn't.

Raymond Failton

With Top 3 Western Conference PG Ty Lawson + Ganilo's improvement they can probably make the conference finals as long as they don't get matched up with the Chunder

 

[KingGondo]

MozGod.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

MOZGOD is out of control tonight.

 

[reilo]

Hickson lmao

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Monta and Curry destroying the Jazz, meh. Giving the 8th seed to the Rockets and picking 14th will suck...

 

[Roger Danish]

Damn, Northwest is easily the toughest division in basketball. The worst team in that division starts Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hickson lmao

I came back in the room and heard booing from the crowd.

How bad was it? :-/

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Jazz allowed 40 fucking points that quarter. That's enough for me.

Three feet short.

Mozgod trying to Mozgov Griffin


FLOP WILLIAMS

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Jazz are gassed. I have a hard time caring what happens tonight with the players being out and the back to back situation where they played a late game last night and then had to travel.

Cool lockout, Stern.

 

[reilo]

I fully expect Portland to lose on the road from now on. No matter whom the opponent.

 

[Mutagenic]

Portland with awful .500 ball during the last month.

 

[etiolate]

I am not sure what the Blazers should be ashamed of more. Losing to the Kings with Cousins in foul trouble or having John Salmons make shots on you.

Nope.

Tyreke Evans making mid-range jumpshots to seal the game.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Millsap with six points in 90 seconds and a free throw coming up. Jazz D is still really bad, Favors needs to step his game up.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

MOZGOD is out of control tonight.

U-Moz-God

 

[linsivvi]

Kings announcers: Not a good shooting night for Tyreke.

Eh, doesn't he shoot like that every night?

 

[reilo]

Portland at home: 105PPG
Portland on the road: 90PPG

 

[Emwitus]

Blow out? Blow out.

 

[Tevos]

Nate needs to fix this bullshit with road games, this is absurd.

And Raymond Felton continues to be worthless. Totally worth trading away Andre!

Ray hasn't been the issue at all. It's Gerald, Wesley, and Crawford playing like scrubs.

Portland points scored on the road in six of their losses (all by 5 points or LESS):

88, 105 (OT), 89, 91, 89, 92

WTF SONS

Do the Blazers try to slow it down the pace more on the road? It seems to me like they might but I haven't seen all their games. Because that's the only reason I can think of why Wallace is playing so terribly on the road.

He hasn't had a single game this season without turning the ball over, and his shots are often rushed and not on the mark. I'd say Gerald is playing decent, as is Wesley...I'll agree with you on Crawford, though. He seems way out of it -- I hope it's just because he is still adjusting to the team.

But seriously. Losses to Detroit and now Sacramento? Regardless of it being on the road, that's beyond pathetic.

 

[diehard]

wtf, Jerry Sloan is at the BYU game.

No, they don't actively try to do it (Nate for certain tries to get them to run but they don't listen). They reflexively do it.

Point-guards turn the ball over... Steve Nash lead the league in turnovers for years. Tonight he had 1 turnover total. You are fretting over a guy that's averaging less than 3 TOPG. Don't fret over that.

And no, Gerald's splits at home and on the road are legendary apart. I'm having trouble believing you are watching games. It seems like you are just reading Blazer's Edge comments and calling it a day.

I wouldn't say so. There was a lot of running with the Kings in this game. They were just blowing their fastbreaks by getting SMASHED by Isaiah Thomas.

Wallace is a guy who feeds off of the crowd. He was pretty much invisible in this game.

 

[SamuraiX-]

The last sequence gave me flashes of the Kings of old.

I was ready for OT even after the final buzzer sounded.


John Salmons - 19 pts, 8-14 FG, 3-4 3PT, 8 reb, 2 ast, 1 TO, 0 PF

I think I'm just gonna go ahead and pretend this game didn't happen.

 

[The M.O.B]

Brian Cook comes in and immediately makes 2 mistakes back 2 back. Same Cook as ever.
