Blazers at Knicks Game Thread 3/14/12

well on the positive side alcohol sales will be going up at the RG.

I like watching Babbitt. Yes, that's what it's come to. 8) He rebounds and tries hard, and he really can shoot (now that he's over his stage fright).

He's far better than Camby.

Given the same minutes he'd average more pts and rebounds than Aldridge has lately.

How so? If attendance is cut in half, that would mean people would be drinking twice as much. And I'd have to think we'd be lucky to fill half the arena with more performances like this, except when premier teams are in town and people want to see the visitors win by 60.

People buy tickets far prior to games. You think the attendance is going to suddenly cut in half?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Disrespecting the game?

Uh, that was the Blazer players, not the Knicks. They were blatantly unprofessional.

Tone meant the Blazers...

It was a joke, responding to another joke. But let's be honest.... With performances like this, there will be plenty of tickets that will go to waste. I was a season-ticket holder when the crash of the JailBlazer era occured. There were plenty of games I couldn't make due to work/school, so I would offer them up, and I couldn't give them away for free. That to me tells me that there will be a lot of people who don't show up for games to watch shitty, no-effort games like tonight's game.

BS. These guys just talk.

Camby: "It’s the players fault. Coach (is) doing a great job of giving us the game plan and we’re doing a poor job of ... executing it."

Joe Freeman ‏ @BlazerFreeman
Wallace cont: "Guys have to take pride in this (stuff) and that (stuff) is embarrassing to watch them do that (stuff) on you."

4m Joe Freeman ‏ @BlazerFreeman
Wallace: "They’re just coming down, throwing the ball up, jacking up threes at will, celebrating, dancing on the court. ..." (cont)

5m Joe Freeman ‏ @BlazerFreeman
Wallace: "This (stuff) tonight was embarrassing. It was hurtful. And it was frustrating as (beep). They’re throwing lobs and they’re up 40."

Yep. All night you could hear him getting angrier and angrier... there were a couple of kinda dark moments.

Fuck off, Gerald. Play like you give a rat's ass and you won't BE down 40 with them throwing lobs.

Mike and Mike, the few times I switched to the game like a masochist, were just rambling and ignoring the game.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I feel for Mike and Mike.

You know they have to bite their tongue and keep it PR/Blazer friendly.

But they have to see this garbage in person and commentate like everything is unicorns and glitter.

 

[Sinobas]

I hear Batum, Aldridge, Camby, Matthews, and Wallace act like they are taking these losses hard....but that's 5 of our 6 top players. And they are playing like crap...so does that mean they really ARE trying but just suck horrendously, or are they trying to fake it?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Even their beat writer is taking jabs:

Alan Hahn ‏ @alanhahn
Staggering numbers off the #Knicks win over the Fail Blazer

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

These games have been brutal to watch And if Raymond Felton ever takes the court again as a Trailblazer I will have to consider suicide.

Yeah, now Tone is taking it to Twitter and calling a bunch of fans fairweather... when he was taking it to the team during the broadcast.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Comcast is airing an encore performance of the game if anyone is interested.

They are faking it. IMO, they are obviously tanking to get Nate fired. Did you watch Wallace? I don't care what he said in the post-game, he was loafing like crazy. Sure he made the occassional play when he happened to be in the vicinity, but he's full of it if he's pretending he cared last night. That's OK though. I didn't care either.
