简而言之
In honor of Martin Luther King Day the Blazers and Hornets play a game so nondescript that it practically begged viewers to go read a copy of Letters from a Birmingham Jail, listen again to "I Have a Dream", or do anything they could to escape the monotony. On the bright side the Blazers did more things right than the Hornets and nabbed a much-needed win.
游戏流程
在任何一个团队的第一个时期中得分的唯一漂亮积分就遭到了迫使发出的缺货和踪迹开拓者的突破。两支球队的一切都是错误的。相反，所有正确的事情都是为了防止可持续得分。新奥尔良最好地反弹了球。西装外套们捍卫了油漆。黄蜂队又回来了。留下两支球队在半场上击败了轻松的镜头，射击了眼睛跳投。刚刚注意到的唯一一个例外，当西装外套困住球并演奏通道时出现。新奥尔良缺乏真正的点守卫，燃烧者利用了他们的球身运动员，用于失误和饰面。这让燃烧者抓住了铅，直到平坦进来，试图通过自己的失误来回归。 (Groan.) The Blazers still led 20-15 after one, though. (Groan.)
第二季度实际上会变得更糟。（呻吟！）
燃烧者在第二个时期实际上改善了他们的反弹，但转折点干涸了。新奥尔良的尺寸和运动能力在替补席上就足以让西装外套完全在半场。结果是更多的跳线（呻吟）和更多的未命中（呻吟）。黄蜂队也没有恰好将世界着火了。事实上，他们的集体进攻不会足以让棉花糖着火。如果您折扣从团队罚球线上评分11分合并for 26 points in the period (groan)。开拓者总计17分的年代econd while the Hornets managed 20. Portland led 37-35 at the half. Groooooaaaaaaannnnnnnn. Just shoot me now.
Thankfully the Blazers came alive in the third period, giving viewers exactly one quarter of watchable basketball. (Yay!) The Hornets still tried to pack in the defense but the Blazers moved the ball against their slower, larger defenders and came away with a combination of open mid-range jumpers and quick slashes into the lane. This looked like a blizzard of scoring compared to the isolation brick-fest of the first half. The 27 points the Blazers scored seemed a feast. New Orleans, meanwhile, puttered along with 16. Portland led 64-51 at the end of the third.
With the Hornets offense being what it is, this double-digit lead should have invoked the league's Mercy Rule. Sadly the refs missed the call and let them play the fourth. Nursing their advantage, the Blazers had five defenders place feet in the paint whenever the Hornets tried to post. That and some more decent rebounding were enough to keep New Orleans from getting close. The Blazers win 84-77.
Take Away Points
The Hornets are hurting for production right now.
The Blazers did a great job keeping them out of the paint.
除了下面的某些个人观察之外，胜利是这场比赛的唯一真正的现行点。值得庆幸的是，这也是真正需要的唯一一个波特兰。
Individual Observations
Lamarcus Aldridge在这场比赛中开始慢慢地，他的平常模式和一些漂亮的大黄蜂守卫的组合键入他。第二半的球运动松开了地板，给了他的空间。他用他的标准好游戏完成：10-17拍摄，22分，9个篮板，2次抢断。他的防守和反弹也很好。
Gerald Wallace feasted on those early turnovers and otherwise had a good defensive and rebounding game too. He finished 5-11 for 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists.
Kurt Thomas outscored everybody on the floor in that first period, somewhat akin to towering over every person in Munchkin Land. He ended up shooting 4-5 from the floor for 8 points and 7 rebounds in 26 minutes.
Wesley Matthews shot 4-10, 2-5 from the arc in another intermittent game. 10 points.
Raymond Felton有12次助攻（Yay！）和一些尖锐的驱动器（Yay！），但也承诺了8个失误（呻吟声），拍摄1-8（呻吟！），他的防守交替（呻吟）和（MEH）之间交替交替。
Nicolas Batum再次获得游戏球。他始于一些艰难的篮板，帮助将该部门转向燃烧者。他补充了一些射击，驾驶，防守......这是他连续第二次出色的努力。第三个将接近他的记录，所以让我们看看对亚特兰大的发生了什么。6-11拍摄，5-6线，从弧线2-5（那些拍摄队友的内部漏气），19分，6个篮板。
Craig Smith在Chris Kaman发挥了一些良好的防守，并在他身上得分。他可能会努力进攻太多了。他从场上击中了2-2，4分，但也有2个失误，14分钟内有2个篮板。
Jamal Crawford, mired in a slump, spent much of this game giving up the ball. He had 7 assists but also passed up some open shots. That's OK for today but the Blazers do need him to shoot and score. 2-8 shooting, 5 points.
与数字有趣
- 新奥尔良在油漆中30分。这是你需要知道的唯一一个。无论如何，他们都会失去这个数字。波特兰的巨大工作拿走他们唯一的实力。
最后的想法
It's nice to break the losing streak.
如果燃烧者认真地认为他们可以满足于今年，或者很近，他们可能会呼唤黄蜂队并为Emeka Okafor提供报价。他经过2014年的昂贵（Camby-Level）合同。燃烧者将于2012-13和2013-14年是奢侈品纳税人。但他现在正是大黄蜂现在不需要的东西 - 非得天家，球员，篮板球和后卫，大家伙，昂贵 - 以及大多数西装外套所需的东西。我不相信燃烧者将自我评估为足够远的人，以证明费用是合理的。但如果有人想要他，奥克福应该在那里挑选。
