Blazers @ Clippers 1/1/2012 - Game Thread

This is one of those games you just forget. Nothing to learn from it.

Oh no, there's tons to be learned from it.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Except now you're getting away from the original point, which essentially always mean waiving the white flag

Maybe you should just go play your video games

This is a good point however.

5 years of Roy ... 3 first round exits ... whoop-dee-damn-doo.

True, but I cant really fault Roy for the Houston loss. Did anyone else show up that series other than him?

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn. Another turnover for us. That's like 3 out of our last 4 posessions. WTF?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mags or Kingspeed needs to run out on the court and take one for the team.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I hate LaMarcus's shot selection tonight.
Why is Nate using Wallace so much tonight when he's not his normal crash self? Nate should use Batum more.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hopefully tomorrows game goes better for fans from the Portland area

 

[Darkwebs]

Our guys must've had a hell of a New Year's Eve last night. Jeez, such careless ball handling

Doesn't this counter the leadership theory?

 

[RoyToy]

Oh no, there's tons to be learned from it.

Not really

Nothing to learn from shooting yourself in the face and playing lackadaisical/careless basketball.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Probably exactly what happened last night

 

[Wheels]

huh? not sure what theory you are talking about sorry

 

[Driew]

I think this is a good game to prepare us fans for the upcoming season on the road....this team feeds off of the home crowd and on the road that doesn't exist. The Clippers crowd is extremely dull and the blazers are playing exactly like the crowd.

 

[VenomXL]

Will we make it to 50 before the fourth?

 

[Mediocre Man]

huh?

Their argument started because RoyToy said we are missing Roy as our leader. I was pointing out that while he had a great series against Houston, having the rest of the team not show up says a lot about his leadership

 

[Darkwebs]

I don't see much improvement in Batum's game. I thought he supposedly made strides this past summer.

 

[RoyToy]

Not even Kobe could get out of the 1st round by himself, and he's a great leader.

Sorry, not buying your theory.

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's within reach....I suppose, but I'd still like to see Nate change it up a bit with the young guys. He needs to send a message to the vets

oh gotcha. I guess what I meant about no one else showing up was all the missed shots from everyone who was open with the attention paid to Roy with Artest and Battier.

 

[Darkwebs]

Probably exactly what happened last night

LOL. Took me as second to register that one.

 

[VenomXL]

I'd love to see Elliot get some run at the start of the fourth. No way it happens though.

 

[RoyToy]

I don't see much improvement in Batum's game. I thought he supposedly made strides this past summer.

I hope from now on people won't get excited about Euro-trash statistics.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Sorry, not buying your theory.

You are right.

 

[VenomXL]

Another bad pass.

 

[VenomXL]

LOL.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

That might be the game right there.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I hope from now on people won't get excited about Euro-trash statistics.

Apparently you haven't seen the multiple Joel Freeland is our next starting center threads?

 

[Wheels]

ugh

 

[RoyToy]

You are right.

I already knew that

 

[Darkwebs]

Crawford is having a decent game thus far. Maybe he could heat up and pull a Roy for us.
