Blazers at Heat game thread

[hypnosmurf]

lets roll

 

[hasoos]

I am betting without a shot blocker of note in the middle Portlands percentage will go up tonight.

 

[ehizzy3]

jermaine o neal can block a few shots, as can joel anthony

 

[blue32]

Let's go Blazers.......<3 Bayless & Roy.

Yep, but they are far from intimidating. They will get a few I will give you that.

 

[Nannerbee]

Is anyone on NBA Broadband yet? Game looks like it started but can't "watch" yet --- grrrrr

 

[Mediocre Man]

Fast break points whoohoo

Three pointers are keeping Miami in the game.

Why does Q-Rich always light us up?

Revenge of the Head Bonk?

Do do you want me to go with the obvious answer, that we don't close out on guys, or is that not good enough?

 

[Darkwebs]

Yeah, our team has got to do a better job of defending the 3. Blake was just standing still there while Q was stepping into his shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Webster's shot is on, so far.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Damn I love Chalmers' D

 

[MickZagger]

Anybody have a decent link they can hook me up with?

 

[Darkwebs]

Tolliver looks slow on the defensive end so far.

 

[maxiep]

For those bitching about why Tolliver isn't playing, his first two times down to play defense, he was blown by Beasley for a dunk and then fouled him when he drove.

Folks, he's just a warm body for practice.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Tolliver looks slow on the defensive end so far.

That's probably because he's a 6'8" forward-center who shoots like a small forward.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Someone want to tell me why in the fuck Nate would put Tollivr in ahead of Cunningham or Pendergraph? I can only assume they are both injured.

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn, Tolliver is getting smoked repeatedly.

 

[Darkwebs]

Thank goodness Nate pulled that D-Leaguer out of the game. I guess the D doesn't stand for defense.

 

[julius]

So that's the guy they wasted the extra roster spot on? Really?

 

[Darkwebs]

Bayless draws a charge. Good D.

 

[Darkwebs]

Bayless misses a 3 and then the next trip down shoots it from the same spot without hesitation and makes it. He definitely has confidence in his own skills.

Where can I get a toliver jersey!?!?

 

[Nikolokolus]

So that's the guy they wasted the extra roster spot on? Really?

What do you honestly expect? If he was worth half a damn he'd have already been signed to an actual NBA team. This is a practice body, and I guess they figured they'd at least put him out there and see if he could do anything. The same probably would have been true of any big we picked up off the scrap heap (minus guys like Shav Randolph who would command a guaranteed deal).

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why, are you a Heat fan?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Bayless draws a charge. Good D.

Er ... that was definitely a blocking foul, but I guess I can't complain.
