Blaming the refs already -- breaking fucking news

We are MASSIVE underdogs that will be lucky to get ONE win and I hate to say this but the truth is the truth I just want to see players like DC , Deni and such show they can play in the playoffs and not disappear and of course get experience.

We are, but they are letting them foul the shit out of us and not calling it.

 

[kjironman1]

Wenby unbelievable freak of nature in his abilities

He sure is.

 

[julius]

Did anyone catch when Wemby pushed off on Deni, and then massively carried the ball and the announcers were talking about how awesome the move was (which it was, but he still should've been called for carrying).

 

[Chris Craig]

Glad we are showing fight

 

[wizenheimer]

Sit Grant

yeah...he's been a disaster so far. But the Blazers can't give up on his 3-ball

Pointing out bad calls is not blaming.

If San Antonio is going to be able to set screens like they are right now, we'll lose by 25 instead 15

Yes, I was saying that out loud as it happened. Not surprised it wasn't called.

Then he needs to stand in a corner. Nothing but turnovers and fouls by him so far.

 

[wizenheimer]

too much bitching about the officials. Toumani was allowed to be pretty physical on Wemby; I was surprised by that

 

[Irish Trader]

News flash there is no such thing as carrying the ball over or walking in the NBA anymore

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I understand that Wemby is a shot blocking machine, but we’ve still got to attack him & get some fouls.

 

[blazerfan11]

Tired of this Wemban-slama shit.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Damn that sucked.

 

[Chris Craig]

I understand that Wemby is a shot blocking machine, but we’ve still got to attack him & get some fouls.

I agree.

Also get set and draw charging fouls on him.

Don't like Clingan not guarding the perimeter. But, I get it...players will just blow past him because he is too slow.

 

[wizenheimer]

some Blazer besides Deni needs to show up

 

[BBert]

News flash there is no such thing as carrying the ball over or walking in the NBA anymore

And when you're a star they let you do it. You can grab them by the....

 

[blazerfan11]

Absolutely. Especially with how he's falling all over our players. One of them might end up a flagrant.

They should be reviewing the ones with contact to the head, or egregious targeting on the fall.

I hope Splitter is in the refs ears on this. Clingan might as well fall on De Aron Fox.

 

[Chris Craig]

some Blazer besides Deni needs to show up

Jrue and Matisse need to go off.

Shaedon needs to attack.

 

[riverman]

Jrrue needs to run an offense. We stopped moving the ball

 

[Sedatedfork]

Just have to stay in range of catching them. Not worried about them right now but if 2nd quarter goes badly…

 

[riverman]

Reggie Miller is such a fair weather commentator

 

[2Fluffy4U]

I rather we chase them all game by 4-12 and have a run at the end to win, than having a lead and lose following a momentum run for them while home crowd goes wild.

 

[blazerfan11]

Grant is horrible. So much for being a Vet.


He is ok in the corner though.

 

[JDC]

What's the point if we're not switching everything with this lineup?

 

[kjironman1]

So has Wemby played the entire half so far?

 

[JDC]

So has Wemby played the entire half so far?

Nah, he sat late 1st Q

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers shoot to many 3s that they don’t ever make

 

[wizenheimer]

what a great strategy....have the best offensive rebounder in the NBA parked behind the 3 point line. Rope a dope

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant is horrible. So much for being a Vet.


He is ok in the corner though.

$35 million a year for a spot up three point shooter

Right. Go into his scrawny chest.
