Blazers @ Indy game thread

[B-Roy]

The Cavs must beat the Grizzlies tonight, or we are gonna be in trouble, standings-wise.

Whatever. This team is not better than Memphis as is. Might as well accept it this season.

 

[KingSpeed]

2-0 run

 

[B-Roy]

Be patient. Our team is running to the locker room.

Fixed.

You can't blame the refs when you're down 18. Portland is shooting 39% and getting outrebounded 45 to 27.

I think what's the most frustrating to me is that our players just aren't very good, and there's very little we can do to get better, except wait for Camby and Roy.

I can't blame the refs the the rebouding but when they have shot 23 more FT and our up by 18 yea I can blame them on that.

Portland is missing shots and allowing everyone to get rebounds. Sure, we wouldn't be down 18. We'd be down 10. Yay.

The Blazers deserve to lose this game.

Is Aldridge bagging it since he didn't make the AS game?

Totally. I mean, he only had 4 blocks tonight. Kevin Love has had 9 blocks since the beginning of December.

LMA bagged it!

They've taken it inside while we've settled for jump shots mostly. They'll get more FTs.

 

[PapaG]

Obviously Stern directed the refs to single out LMA tonight, since he needed some cover for picking a guy with from an 11-win team to the AS game.

Expect more of this treatment, LMA. The white guy wins again!

 

[Kaydow]

What a strange last 5 games this has been. We've pretty much been housed in games 1-2-4-5 (Sac, Bos, Den, Ind) In between, we played our best game of the year, and beat the best team in the league by 13 (their 2nd worst loss all year).

No coincedence that LA has played probably his 4 worst games since the middle of December, but sandwiched in the middle of that he had the best night of his career! Go figure.

Wierd.

 

[KingSpeed]

We never should've traded ZBo.

 

[illmatic99]

LOL and they called a flagrant on Miller.

WTF

 

[MickZagger]

Miller showing that he's from Watts.

 

[Sedatedfork]

LOL and they called a flagrant on Miller.

WTF

I would have called the flagrant on Miller.

 

[Darkwebs]

I would have called the flagrant on Miller.

I think a technical would've been more appropriate.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I have only watched the 4th. Why have the Blazers played/shot so badly?

 

[mgb]

LOL and they called a flagrant on Miller.

WTF

That was pretty obvious. Frustration on Miller's part, again catching him retaliatiing.

 

[KingSpeed]

6-5 run

 

[mgb]

Ya, I can see a tech instead of flag, but I'm not surprised that was called.

 

[Sedatedfork]

I think a technical would've been more appropriate.

That's true. I wouldn't have called a foul on Hansbrough though is what I meant to say.

 

[KingSpeed]

Babbitt's a bust.

 

[Rhal]

A flagrant there just shows how much the refs have loved the pacers.

 

[mgb]

6-5 run

So we score 60 to their 50 and we'll be down by only 9!

 

[mgb]

Marks!

 

[KingSpeed]

Wolves without Love? Or Blazers without Aldridge? What is the worse team?

 

[Darkwebs]

A flagrant there just shows how much the refs have loved the pacers.

The refs are taking the concept of home court advantage to the extreme. The travel call on Rudy near the end of the 3rd was a prime example. What were they looking at? I think the refs heard the crowd call travel, and that was enough to plant the idea in their stupid little heads. It was down right Inception stuff, methinks.

 

[mgb]

Wolves without Love? Or Blazers without Aldridge? What is the worse team?

That'd make them the Cavs and us the Wolves.

 

[B-Roy]

Blazers never had a chance with the way they played.

I'm going to go watch the Cavs beat Memphis.
