当。。。的时候Portland Trail Blazersmet the Philadelphia 76'ers at the Moda Center on Saturday night, the game was supposed to be one-sided. The Blazers owned 37 wins, the Sixers only 9, a paltry 3 of those coming on the road. Philly was injured, the Blazers one迈耶斯·伦纳德(Meyers Leonard)short of full strength. Portland even had the经验优于76人的优势,这种情况像裁判心中一样罕见。

我们想保持悬念活着,发现mystical knowledge that proved there was more to this game than met the eye. There wasn't...at least not much. For three solid periods the Blazers were too big, too talented, and too well-prepared for the Sixers to cope with. Despite an all-too-typical late-game run by Philly, Portland hung on to earn their 38th win, keeping their hold on the 6th position in the West and starting a critical late-season home stand the right way.

Game Flow/Analysis

由于他们的整个前场受伤,费城今晚开始了一个小阵容。在他们的前8个轮换球员中,有7个通常是小型前锋或后卫。((卡尔·兰德里(Carl Landry), all of 6'9", was the sole exception.) They played zero centers, mostly because they have none healthy.

Fielding an array of smalls, Philly's only chance to win came via running and quick offense. They willingly shot threes. They wanted to fast break. They ended up firing 10-38, 26%, from distance. They tallied 7 points off the break. With that kind of performance in their circled stats, a victory was all but impossible.

波特兰不仅做得很好,停止了76人想要做的事情,而且他们花了四个季度以自己的弱点为目标。他们在里面得分,反弹得很好,并照顾了球。他们没有刺伤对手,他们不可避免地向他们推倒,饿死了氧气,等待他们出去。

然后第四阶段来了,开拓者说:“伙计们,开玩笑。, 没关系!”

领导整个比赛,以86-74的优势进入最后一个季度,波特兰继续忘记了将它们放在驾驶员座位上的每一件事。无论如何,第四位数的9-63 NBA对手真的会造成多少伤害?开拓者们开始吊起跳线,随便弹,慢慢地结束了步骤。事实证明,在上一句话中,感兴趣的76人的唯一定义是“ NBA对手”。他们证明了自己是一个人,在前往巴斯托涅的路上像帕顿一样冲向。波特兰在本季度在油漆外尝试14张照片,但击中2次,但其中2次(其中一名是赛场后期的Lillard Save)几乎为他们铺路了。开拓者忠实的忠实摇晃着他们的头,恳求天堂回答永恒的问题:“我们要做什么才能结束轻松的胜利?

Was that fourth quarter ridiculous? Yes. Did it cost the Blazers the game? No.达米安·利拉德(Damian Lillard)在剩下2:36的情况下击中英雄三分球,然后CJ McCollum以不稳定的方式拆分了一支双队,以帮助剩下7秒钟的交易。((See video of that entertaining play here.

最新的近乎疾病的崩溃并没有告诉我们我们还不知道的西装外套。他们比我们认为的要好,当时没人给他们机会,他们以专注和决心为生。他们的优势不如他们在占上风时所认为的那样好。当他们放松身心,偏离聪明而充满活力的比赛的那一刻,他们的臭味与季前专员所预言一样严重。

不过,这并不会让团队担心。(这可能会使教练组有些担心,但他们的工作又是担心。)波特兰获得了胜利。这很重要。

Curiosity Note: Up by 3 with the clock winding down, the Blazers opted for the intentional foul strategy. It worked. Philadelphia's Jerami Grant, a 68% free-throw shooter, blew his first attempt and intentionally missed the second. The latter miss never touched rim, a violation which gave Portland the ball.

什至令人毛骨悚然的音符:剩下0:07的3下,剩下的波特兰拥有,76人通过选择不犯规而放弃了比赛。开拓者在后场上运球,脸上有一个古怪的外观。我不确定这种方法是否会出现在“如何指导”手册中,但肯定很有趣。#sixers

个人笔记

达米安·利拉德(Damian Lillard)今晚再次挣扎,以6-20射击16分。CJ McCollum以25分的成绩弥补了这一点(尽管他花了22杆才能到达那里)和5次令人难以置信的抢断。

不要被淘汰,Mason Plumlee抓住了5个进攻篮板。“没有中心?那是我的对决!”

Al-Farouq Aminuhad a very nice 20-point, 8-rebound performance, shooting 6-12. Moe Harkless brought the energy and 16 points and 8 rebounds on 5-9 shooting. This was the best game so far for that forward duo playing together.

Ed Davisplayed 26 minutes, including crunch time, and slaughtered the Sixers with 13 rebounds, 2 blocks, and a steal. Just call him "Butter" because he's on a roll.

Allen Crabbeshot 2-8. (Just call him "Artichoke" because he's not.)

Gerald Hendersonregistered another nice offensive game with 4-7 shooting and 11 points in 21 minutes. 4 turnovers cast some shade on those numbers though. That small Sixers lineup wasn't exactly Gerald-proof, but they made life hard.
