2014 NBA playoffs - 2nd Round, Game 1 - Blazers @ Spurs

[timtonymanu]

Blazers with 27 fta in 3 quarters on the road, we are gonna get screwed in Portland.

Yes, it's going to be tough to win in Portland so it's important the Spurs win the first 2 home games.

[Uriel]

The sad thing is that the Spurs aren't playing near their peak.

Wow. That's a pretty bold assertion.

Portland clearly the more aggressive team tonight... that's what they say about the freebie disparity.... amiright?

I always hated that ty cookie cutter argument.

Maybe not but the shooting makes up for it. 8-12 from 3.

Not in the third quarter but they played damn well in the first half.

[TDfan2007]

these calls that Aldridge is getting. If those are fouls, then playing defense is impossible.

[ontheraise]

spurs still miss a bit of that oldfashion ball movment

[hommeaetage]

If Baynes works on his defensive positioning he'll be really serviceable

[TheGoldStandard]

Watch out Portland is going to offer Baynes 10Mil, they're always trying to coup some big away from us

[99 Problems]

Ladies and Gents

introducing Mr Baynes

some say he sent Dwight to Texas.

[Timmy4ever]

Release the beast

[Dex]

Wow. That's a pretty bold assertion.

Spurs are pretty close to going full HAM, but Green and Manu have both been awful this game.

You get the Big 4 going with the bench...full SS3.

[Fireball]

I feel you man. I start with classes late today, so I'll be able to get some more sleep. But I won't even be able to watch Game 4 till the end because I'll have to go to uni. This timing sucks.

as long as we win everything is fine, but being tired and in a bad mood because of a loss really ruins the day

[atoyotagaspedal]

How many playoff double doubles does duncan have now?

[Johnny RIngo]

I really do like that Manu is finding his way into the paint - if he can pass effectively out of that and draw fouls it's a huge plus.

Yup. Manu's free-throw attempt rate in these playoffs is the 2nd highest of his career, Only 2005 post-season ranks higher. The sample size is small though(seven games against the Mavs) but it's a good sign.

[BatManu20]

Alright second unit, don't let up

[Captivus]

No way Baynes remembers any of what he did after the game. Total black out.

Dammit, just let me enjoy tonight. lol

[bbarry]

No more Pop interviews anymore?

[ShoogarBear]

Stotts still piling minutes on his starters.

[jag]

If the refs weren't up their ass we'd be up 40+

The refs have called a great game. I'm not sure what all this talk is about. It's pretty stupid.

Baynes thinking he's Dr. J.
