Blazers @ Clippers Game Thread

[Nikolokolus]

Disagree - we're getting good looks. Even Hubie took a moment out of the Clipper lovefest to mention how well we've been swinging it.

I'm not going to get into some stupid argument, if you want to know why the team had trouble scoring in that second quarter it was because there was no penetration and if it weren't for Roy ISOing and being superhuman this would be a 5 or 6 point hole, not a 5 point lead.

 

[Rhal]

The clippers whole half game report is on brandon roy lol

 

[BlazerBeav]

Sorry - the team's MVP making shots is the goal of the offense. Unless, by the same token, you believe the Laker offense sucks because most possessions end in a Kobe jumper.

 

[Deebag]

Roy's just making jumpers. There's no real offense in that. There's gonna be days where those shots are not going in. We still need easier shots because all we're doing is relying on Roy or rebounds.

 

[andalusian]

I am just hoping all of the lemmings that keep squawking about our efficient offense are watching this game. Our offense sucks ass, but Brandon Roy bails it out most all the time.

Oh wooptie doo. Early in the season, on a back-to-back and the team on the road and they are still up ahead. Jeez. This team's offense was efficient for 2 years running with and without Roy in the lineup. Give it a break.

The Lakers best player is easily Pau Gasol who kills people from the block and pinch post, that's why they dominate. Need more proof? Before the Lakers swindled Pau for some dryer lint and stale bag of potato chips they were a 45ish win team.

Go to bed you old grump!

 

[MickZagger]

Roy adding the long ball and catch and shoot to his arsenal?

Thats just naaaaaaaaasty!

Sorry, but I honestly think it's time you give it a break. I have been saying this for multiple seasons, and I have been right. Brandon takes and makes really hard shots, which is the opposite of what a good offense should get.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Go to bed you old grump!

It is late here. Thankfully I can sleep at work tomorrow.


Hey, I'm not that grumpy, I complimented Nate for benching LaMarcia

That's why we need a consistent 2nd option. It's the one thing we don't have.

 

[Darkwebs]

It looks like Roy might have altered his shot over the summer. Does anyone else notice this? The way he holds the ball when he is rising for a shot looks different or it could just be my imagination.

 

[illmatic99]

He did that because Aldridge had two fouls at the time.

I know, I was fooled too.

It's not an opinion, it's a statistical fact.

I wasn't aware we played all those games without Brandon Roy to bail us out?

Nice cop out. With or without Roy, our offense is very efficient.

 

[craigehlo]

LaMarcus and Baron Davis are having a contest to see who can suck more

 

[Darkwebs]

Sick passing by Camby!

 

[mgb]

Maybe that'll get LA going.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I like that we're looking to get LMA going to start the second half - that was a nice lob and finish from Camby to Aldridge right there.

 

[Darkwebs]

Why did we give up Gomes for nothing? Not complaining now since he is playing so bad, but just curious.

 

[Mediocre Man]

That last play was efficient offensively.


The Andre Miller 3 pointer with Batum flying for the board in traffic isn't an efficient offense, but it looks that way in the stat sheet.


Do you really not agree with that?

 

[craigehlo]

He was guaranteed too much $$$ if not waived.

 

[craigehlo]

Nope

 

[mgb]

Now that was nice movement by the Blazers but they didn't capitalize.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

I agree that we're not as efficient as the stat sheet makes it seem.

But our offense isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Again, not efficient

 

[Darkwebs]

Dre with the sweet dime to Camby on the lob

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum is a deadly shooter now!!

 

[craigehlo]

How was that foul on Camby?
