12/29/2011 Blazers at home vs the Nuggets Game Thread!

I think no Andre, Rudy and Patty helps the defense

Haha

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's a fucking observation, nothing less, nothing more.

It's ok. It's a constant attack. No worries. I am happy they won, happier I have tomorrow off because it is closer to tomorrow than my normal bedtime, and understand that anything I say will cause an outrage

 

[magnifier661]

25 TO's is too many. Gotta clean that up!

Pretty amazing we won the game huh? How many times can we do that again? I don't think that much.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Andre plays really crafty defense for his physical limitations of age. He couldn't keep up with his guys but he did know how to get into their heads and funnel them. Rudy and Patty, yes, but also Roy.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Will we witness a 4-0 start speed? Gonna be at the staples center

It will definitely be interesting to see how we do against quality opponents on the road. We have had a good schedule so far

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well I guess it's a neat story and moot point since he's not a blazer.

You don't think it's startling how much different the perimeter D looks this year vs. years past? That's not comment worthy huh? The only point of bringing it up is mostly to compliment this squad's obvious superiority vs. the team when Roy was on the wing.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

great win, clutch jumpers at the end iced it.

and ty lawson is unguardable wtf

 

[Mediocre Man]

It would be nice to see him get a little pissed off. We finally saw that out of Batum tonight in the first half.

I am afraid to answer this due to the backlash I will undoubtably receive

I agree it was a helluva nice win. Even more impressive considering I don't think I've ever seen a turnover desparity and free throw desparity so far against the winning team -- bizarre in fact.

Well considering our bad perimeter defense wasn't just Roy. There were other players that played more minutes that contributed to that poor defense.

Blazers win!!!!

Next time I will pm my post to someone else and have them post it. It will be fun to see the response it gets then

Pissed of because Nate had to yell at him to get in the post when Rudy was on him.

I'm starting to think Batum just doesn't have the mentality to be the aggressor.

I think road will be much harder. Ps sorry for jumping on ya man. I just want to enjoy this win and don't want to read negativity. My bad bro...

 

[Nikolokolus]

As an aside. Nice to know Rudy still couldn't hit the ocean with a beach ball.

 

[illmatic99]

Good win. I'm liking this 7 man rotation thing we have going, with all 7 being capable of scoring ~15 a night.

Felton and Crawford redeemed themselves, but the guard play still leaves a lot to be desired in the decision making department.

LA might not be in "beast" mode, but he's making the correct plays out of double/triple teams. He had 6 asts tonight.

I was thinking maybe he should have gotten the game ball. He helped us win this game.

camby had a really rough night passing from the high post. there was also alot of unnecessary sloppy lobs and entry feeds, i think they got sucked into the nugs pace early and werent quite ready to push it that fast

 

[illmatic99]

WTF was with the booing Rudy thing, btw?

The guy said nothing but good things about the team and the city. He played like shit for the last few years, but still. I didn't expect that out of Blazer fans.

Remember when KP said he has a little c'est la vie about him?

 

[magnifier661]

I thought they were saying Rudy! They used to cheer him like that before in pdx

It's ok, I am used to it. But it wasn't negative.

 

[crowTrobot]

steals 16 - 3 lol. good thing we can rebound.

I couldn't decide if it was Boooooooooo or Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudy? It could have gone either way because Rudy bitched for a trade

That just tells me there are smarter fans in the RG than I expected there would be. That whiny bitch sandbagged and pouted for two years. And before anybody throws this tired canard out there again; I don't buy the "Trevor Ariza shattered his confidence" thing one bit.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

yeah im surprised about the tight rotation too, nates got his playoff rotation in effect haha

 

[Nikolokolus]

Definitely "Boooooo"

 

[BrianFromWA]

I can't remember the last game we shot 50/40/90 as a team. But they stole from us like a nerd's lunch money.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Sounds good now, but he's going to need to get something out his 8-10 guys sooner or later; the compressed schedule is going to take its toll.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

half their steals were mug jobs on entry passes, but they shouldnt have been giving them the chance to do that in the first place

 

[Sinobas]

Watching the Blazers commit 25 turnovers is a new experience. It would have been a total blowout if it were something more reasonable. Some of it was just good steals by Denver, but Felton and Crawford made a lot of dumb passes.

Felton was out of control many times in the 2nd quarter, leading the break. But those two redeemed themselves in the end!

And Nic Batum...how many point blank shots has he missed this year? Come on Nic!

I thought the refs made a few cheesy calls. NBA refs are so inconsistant. I didn't think they should call crawford for a charge when he brushed up sideways against the defender.

If Greg Oden comes back and can provide rebounding and defense when Camby is on the bench....look out!
