Game Thread: POR @ Dubs 1/26 6p pst Tip oFF

From what I saw, Lee did a good job on Aldridge. Tweezil is a concern troll and is just trying to rile you up. Best to ignore him.

Err... if you are agreeing with me, I may have to rethink my position

Perhaps you might agree with this assessment from SFGate.com then:

"What would catch the coaches' attentions is that Lee also was the primary defender on the Trail Blazers' LaMarcus Aldridge, who was limited to 10 points on 2-for-14 shooting from floor as the Warriors beat the team with the conference's third-best record 103-88."

We can agree to disagree, Green was out there 18 minutes, was he guarding LA all 18 minutes?

Lee was out there 36 mins, was he on LA most of those 36? debatable.


I know that LA looked horrible. Lee outplayed him on both ends. I don't care if it was on a B2B, Dubs were the better team.

I re-watched the game and you're correct -- Avi actually did play decent defense on LA but had real trouble blocking him out on rebounds.

Classic Nolan: "I know you are but what am I." When he was first labeled a concern troll years ago on the Disney board, he didn't even know what that was. Now, he's deflecting with his own label.

Pretty rich.

Geez man this team pisses me off not enough offense to compete with the top teams

They are horrendous at taking care of the ball and it will continue to cost them games until they figure it out.

Yeah it's getting pretty bad. Kind of overshadowing all the good stuff the team can do....another good defensive night, but wasted due to turnovers. They don't have to become top third in the league but they need to get to average from here on

I think some of the turnovers are when they are playing to fast. Should slow the games down a bit. The fucking 7th seed is inexcusable for a team with this talent. Still a lot of time left but I'm kind of starting to lose some hope

The West is better than last year so even though I think the Ws are better too they could be the 6th seed and still have 'improved'. They aren't making the finals though, so that 'hope' shouldn't hang on too much.
