Ya he did.

Right now Portland is running the old Rockets offense with Olajuwan, and old Blazer offense with Sabas. Kicking it inside and then holding for a double team so we can get a kick out three. It's a great offense for a team with a dominant low post guy who can pass. Aldridge is close, and the shooters are close.

Man, if only Greg were healthy. For a relatively raw big man on the offensive end he was a superb passer. Watching him pass to Andre on the cut was a thing of beauty.
 
Though LaMarcus is also a really good passer, makes great reads, I think our current spacing makes it harder for him to get a pass to a guy cutting down the middle. He does real well passing it off to a guy making the back-cut around him.

TO be honest, the doubles on him were pretty damn good. He had no chance to get his dribble on. The few paint scores were from him not even trying to dribble and go to the basket right when he got the ball.

Now I don't think too many teams have the guard speed to be that frustrating. But I would really like to see us force this issue more. We need him to dominate the post.

Tonight marks Portland's first win in franchise history when recording 18 more turnovers than its opponent (previous high: 16).

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.

Most current Blazers fans were born in California, hence the boorish and unsportsmanlike behavior.
 
So if we didn't turn the ball over as much; could we have blown these guys out? I would say yes... And it just shows, we aren't firing on all cylinders and still kicking some ass. Can't wait until all of our players are hitting their averages.

For sure, but if they hadn't missed so many wide open jumpers and layups they could have beaten us

That's their knock. Even their commentators were saying. They don't have good shooting. The lay-ups were very contested, IMO.

I can't help but wonder when you are going to jump all over Roy Toy for mentioning LA's rebound numbers in a disparaging way?
 
Odd.... Crawford, Batum and Thomas all were -6. Maybe I understand Crawford and Thomas, but I thought Batum's D was pretty solid.

Dude I already fucking apologized to you. I even said "My Bad". Do you need me to rub your shoulders or something?

A shoulder rub might be nice.

Hahahahahahaha... You know I love ya man... Remember what I said a while ago during games. I am a completely changed person. Usually why I don't like being in the forum. I usually say things I regret.

No, no, no. It has to be someone the forum likes

More importantly, it should be someone who's been here the same length of time, has a similar post count, identical rep power, loves a fast-paced game, and isn't afraid to post the big questions. :dunno:

I thought the point was to have someone completely different from MM post it, to see if it got a similar reaction from the masses... Otherwise what's the reason for the experiment?

I actually did this a few years ago with someone who doesn't post in here very much any longer. It was awesome. EVERYONE was like ya, that's a great point. Then a month or so later a similar thread was started and I said the exact same thing and was practically burned at the stake. It was classic S2

Link or GTFO. For science.
 
the whole premise of this experiment is flawed

if a girl always walks up to me and grabs my dick, it would mean something completely different if a girl ive known for a long time came up and grabbed my dick once
 
and puhlease get over yourself for gods sake mm, nobody gives a shit how persecuted you feel. especially when you do it on purpose.

go blazers!
