Game Thread: Portland Blazers @ L.A. Clippers 2/12 7:30PST

[bdreason]

Let's go Blazers.

[RoseCity07]

LaMarcus is not right. Get him out.

[imnew09]

this game is way better than heat vs gsw

[Fudge]

Lillards so....ugh. :facepalm

Is there a more inconsistent all-star level PG than him?

[RoseCity07]

Lillards so....ugh. :facepalm

Is there a more inconsistent all-star level PG than him?

It's not even inconsistent. It's one good game and 6 or 7 straight bad games. He's in a horrible slump.

[RoseCity07]

God I hate Meyers Leonard. He's such a dumb player. CJ McCollum wide open behind him and he takes a long two that bricks.

[bdreason]

Unbelievable lob.

[aj1987]

Lol! Nobody watching this game?

[Fudge]

I hate Jamal Crawford. Something about his face, fck.

Fck this fckboy.

[Fudge]

Jamal Crawford gets bailed out the MOST on calls for a non star. :facepalm

[Fudge]

Jamal Crawford. :oldlol: Pathetic

[RoseCity07]

CJ McCollum:bowdown:

6 point play

[navy]

Lol! Nobody watching this game?
Lebron is playing.

[RoseCity07]

If these refs give a clear path or a flagrant in favor of Clippers right after Portland gets a 5 point lead...

It's very suspect that you have a absurd call when Portland finally gets a decent lead.

[Maga_1]

Well, i think i saw the worst call ever in basketball in that Meyers Leonard foul.

[RoseCity07]

Well, i think i saw the worst call ever in basketball in that Meyers Leonard foul.

Yeah that needs to be posted in its own thread. That is the most pathetic call I've seen in years. Blake Griffin walked into him and got the call.

[Maga_1]

Yeah that needs to be posted in its own thread. That is the most pathetic call I've seen in years. Blake Griffin walked into him and got the call.

The only reason i can see is that the ref thought that it was an intentional foul, which would be pretty stupid.

I seriously hate Chris Paul.
He is an amazing player, but he just talks way too much.

[RoseCity07]

The refs are taking over now.

[Maga_1]

The refs are taking over now.

Why do you think the coach leave Williams on the court with McCollum playing so well? I don't get it, the kid is hot.

[Fudge]

Deez refs. Tryna take Lillard out of the game.

[RoseCity07]

21 fouls to just 14 on the Clippers. Yeah f*cking right:oldlol:

[Fiasco]

Yeah that needs to be posted in its own thread. That is the most pathetic call I've seen in years. Blake Griffin walked into him and got the call.

It looked like he was intentionally fouling him.

[RoseCity07]

Why do you think the coach leave Williams on the court with McCollum playing so well? I don't get it, the kid is hot.

Mo is more experienced, better defense.

[Maga_1]

Mo is more experienced, better defense.

meh, but he's not suited to play against the Clippers defense. They trap on the pick and roll, Williams will always have problems in that.

[RoseCity07]

Blake Griffin is untouchable. You can't get a rebound because if you bump Griffin it's a foul.:oldlol:

[Fiasco]

Blake Griffin is untouchable. You can't get a rebound because if you bump Griffin it's a foul.:oldlol:

He pushed him in the back dumbass.

[Wavves]

Shout out to Blake for turning himself into a player that I enjoy watching now. Used to hate his guts :oldlol:

[Maga_1]

Griffin has 12 FT's, we have 13.

[Fiasco]

Griffin has 12 FT's, we have 13.

The Blazers fouled him like 3 times in a row to close the third quarter. Twice if you think the refs made a bad call on Leonard when he lightly grabbed him.

[RoseCity07]

Didn't Lillard foul out yesterday? 5 fouls again?

I think Stotts is kind of an overrated coach to be honest. The teams offense isn't that great. Portland takes a ton of bad shots.

Look at the fastbreak points. 30 to 6 in favor of LA. We get no easy baskets. This team can't compete with that.

[icewill36]

Griffin has 12 FT's, we have 13.

blazers 26 3pt attempts

clippers 9

[Maga_1]

I gotta give credit to the Clippers defense, they have been very intense for the most part of the game.

[RoseCity07]

Matthews are you f*cking serious right now:facepalm

[Maga_1]

blazers 26 3pt attempts

clippers 9

So? :oldlol:

[Fiasco]

lol Blake trying the rip thru

[Maga_1]

Chris, what a moron. That's basketball 101.

[RoseCity07]

I was wondering who was guarding Lillard. Cp3 should have known that is illegal.

[Maga_1]

DeAndre and Dwight ALWAYS shot well against us, amazing.

[Fiasco]

I was wondering who was guarding Lillard. Cp3 should have known that is illegal.

He should have deflected it off of someone.

[Maga_1]

He should have deflected it off of someone.

Yep, now that would be intelligent.

[RoseCity07]

He should have deflected it off of someone.

So if he batted the ball at Lillard and then got it back it's a legal move?

[Inferno]

So if he batted the ball at Lillard and then got it back it's a legal move?

I think he'd have to wait till Lillard touches it and then grab it out his hands

[RoseCity07]

I can't even believe the shots they take:facepalm

[Fiasco]

So if he batted the ball at Lillard and then got it back it's a legal move?

I think if it looked like Lillard had possession then yeah it would've been his... not too sure though don't quote me on it lol

[Fiasco]

Paul needs to ****ing chill with the falling.

[KOBEtherealKing]

My goodness cp3 always flaking like a fish when someone is trying to defend him from behind

[Fiasco]

I assume every PDX three attempt is a good basket

[Maga_1]

I think if it looked like Lillard had possession then yeah it would've been his... not too sure though don't quote me on it lol

Yes, it would be. The rule is that other player need to touch the ball.

[RoseCity07]

Blazers are turning into the Timerwolves 46 minutes of being in the game and then choking in the final two minutes. Lillard flat out choked again. He did it in Indiana, did it against OKC, and now this game.:facepalm

[Maga_1]

Portland shot selection :rolleyes:

[Inferno]

Portland need's a good 3.

[ImKobe]

Blake with another big night.

[Fiasco]

Yes, it would be. The rule is that other player need to touch the ball.

CP3 needs to work on his telekinesis

[LONGTIME]

Batum :oldlol:

[Fiasco]

Blake with another big night.

Only 9 rebounds. Scrub.

[Proctor]

THIS SHOT SELECTION :facepalm :facepalm :wtf:

[Maga_1]

Hmm, what's up with all that 3's ah?

[Inferno]

Batum :lol

[RoseCity07]

I knew when I heard Matthews and Batum talking about freedom in the offense it would backfire. Now they feel free to lose the game every night.

[Fiasco]

Full marks to Portland. Could have won tonight just like yesterday and it's a B2B for them. Scary team for sure.

Chris Paul needs to get healthy soon. BG for MVP?

[RoseCity07]

I can't stand Matthews and Batum getting away with their ridiculous shots at the end of the game like it's okay. It's not. It's unacceptable for a professional team to allow role players to force heavily defended shots. This is where I miss Nate McMillian. Stotts is not getting the most out of this team.

[Wavves]

Good game. Clippers played some real good defense in that final q. BG was an absolute beast, again.

We're still 3rd in the West. We are still way above any expectations that any of us could of dreamed of. I don't know about you, but I like most other people thought we would be a team fighting for the 8th spot and would be sitting just above .500 by the end of the season.

The team has a long way to go before being a contender, but we're still young and trying to work it out.

[YouGotServed]

lol Portland is 5th in the west.

[Wavves]

lol Portland is 5th in the west.
Ah, standings I checked mustn't have updated yet.

[RoseCity07]

Also, good game Clippers fans. Blake Griffin is starting to play legit ball. He is showing real skill in the post. Not as much bs of running into his man and getting a call. It was a surprisingly good game considering CP3 isn't back to true form and Aldridge is hurt.

Good game to Blazers fans too. Portland didn't even look like they played the other night.

I don't know how you guard Aldridge if his jumper's falling. Even DJ's length doesn't bother him.

Chris Paul made some huge wtf moves tonight. I liked that Lillard 3 over him though :oldlol:

[el_locoteee]

Thank you Clippers

[Myth]

Went to the game today. Such a fun game, but I'm obviously disappointed by the end.

Btw, DeAndre was yelling at refs all game without a T when most would get Ts for what he was doing. Is that a common occurrence for him?

[Myth]

Just looked at the standings and realized the Clippers have a free ride to a top 4 seed unless Phoenix or Warriors can somehow surpass them. Essentially the loser of Rockets and Blazers will go to 5th seed by default. :facepalm I hate the playoff seeding format.

[All Net]

Great game.. Blake dominates.

Clippers a game off 3rd a seed even though Cp been out 6 weeks.

The flopping fines in a Rockets and Clippers series :facepalm

[BlazerRed]

**** me. Great game, but fell short AGAIN :facepalm

[All Net]

Blazers gone from winning a very close game to not being able to win one.

not as good as it sounds. If the 5th place team has a better record then the 4th place team, then 5th place team would get home court. surprised people didn't know that.

Dat reversion to the mean doe.

[Bones_Jones]

kings fans are such haters

[qrich]

Hopefully the showing of Blake taking a dump on Aldridge head to head, teamed with his recent play, stops the discussion of who the better player between the two is :bowdown:
