Blazers @ Cleveland Thread

[ABM]

I smile when Bayless come in.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

they turn up the d, we can't score

 

[Kaydow]

When we are bad . . . we are SOOOOO Bad.

 

[ABM]

When we are bad . . . we are SOOOOO Bad.

Unwise at times.

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel really whacked Shaq there.

 

[B-Roy]

one of them was Joel's fault; and the great players aren't afraid to make risky passes; Blake set Juwan up for an and 1; set up LMA for an easy dunk; Roy for an easy three; watch the fucking game; Blake is playing great.

0/4, 3 turnovers is never a great game.

Pulled an Elin.

we're down 1

 

[KingSpeed]

0/4, 3 turnovers is never a great game.

It is if it includes 6 assts and 3 rebounds; People in here say Blake doesn't provide anything more than shooting but that has been proven wrong tonight; 6 of our easiest baskets tonight were set up by Blake; why hate on Blake? He's ON YOUR TEAM; root for him!

 

[DUB]

With Roy, and LA in the game, our ball movement evaporates.

Our offence becomes 1-on-1 stuff from those guys, with everyone else just standing around watching.

 

[ABM]

we're down 1

He said "when" we are bad. Such as that short period it took us to lose a double-digit lead.

 

[Kaydow]

Unwise at times.

Maybe it's not fair. Maybe they have to play perfect to win. But 6 minutes ago we had played a superb complete game and Cleveland was awful.

6 minutes later we're losing the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

by the way, Blake is the ONLY STARTER with a +

I don't know what your definition of great is.

Actually, I do, it's anything Blake or Outlaw does.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy needs to stop forcing so much. He has 3 turnovers and missed 2/3rds of his shots.

Exactly. We're at our best when Blake is creating easy shots for his teammates.

 

[KingSpeed]

That happens to every team. It's a meaningless statement. Every team is bad when it's bad.

 

[Kaydow]

Roy needs to stop forcing so much. He has 3 turnovers and missed 2/3rds of his shots.

But the catch-22 is that we NEED him to score!! If we're healthy he can defer to other guys . . . ahhh christ. Shaq is 4-4 from the line??

 

[KingSpeed]

ooops Bayless has trouble getting the ball upcourt

 

[Darkwebs]

WTF? Why is Shaq suddenly steve nash from the FT line?

 

[KingSpeed]

BS. jumpball should've been Joel and Mo not Varejao

 

[BengalDuck]

Parker and Varejao have successfully flustered Roy and Aldridge.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

WTF? Why is Shaq suddenly steve nash from the FT line?

We've always been pretty bad at FT defense. I blame Nate.

 

[Kaydow]

Joel whiffed at it anyway.

 

[KingSpeed]

GOOD D

 

[DUB]

Personally I don't think that we do.

I think we need Roy to play what's in front of him.

If the best option (at the time) is to pass, then pass; if the best option is to shoot, shoot; if the best option is to drive, drive.

I think he he needs to stop premeditating.

 

[KingSpeed]

HUGE quarter by Aldridge

 

[Darkwebs]

Did Hubie just say "Odom and Przybilla"?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I hate sideshow bob

 

[Kaydow]

come on miller. my god - that's playground crap
