Sure would be nice to hit a open jump shot

 

[rocketeer]

two good shots for the blazers, but no points.

 

[rocketeer]

and another open miss

 

[MAS RipCity]

Rudy has hit the rookie wall

 

[Natebishop3]

Rudy is ice cold.

 

[alex42083]

This really hurts...

 

[VenomXL]

I love you Rudy, but holy shit man, make something.

OMG Batum.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dude... Nic is looking REALLY good.

 

[alex42083]

There you go Nicolas. Bring it hard!

 

[Ed O]

THoughts on the first half:

Good: Aldridge.
Good: Batum.
Good: Oden not getting blocked or stripped at the hoop.
Good: We're right in the game.

Bad: Foul trouble on Joel and Oden
Bad: Greg being open 4 or 5 times in the key and not getting passes
Bad: Frye. He's terrible.
Bad: Blake's shooting.

Neither good nor Bad: 15 fouls to 11. The refs haven't been that bad by any means.

How many OPEN FUCKING SHOTS can we miss???

 

[julius]

"Ala Scottie Pippen". Hehe, Mike, put down the pipe.

 

[alex42083]

Kobe, stop bitching and play, Not enough calls in the first half for you?

 

[Natebishop3]

"Ala Scottie Pippen". Hehe, Mike, put down the pipe.

Yeah, not really a Pippen dunk anyway. Pip would have done that one hander he was known for.

 

[BrianFromWA]

6-20 by our starting backcourt.

 

[alex42083]

Unbelievable.... Lakers whine and bitch so much at every call

 

[craigehlo]

Nice footwork tonight by Greg.

 

[VenomXL]

So LeBron has a better feel for the game than Kobe? What?

Ouch, Lakers are rolling now.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Damnitt Greg, throw in a pump fake or something

 

[Natebishop3]

Oden really needs a go-to move in the post. Something. Anything.

 

[julius]

That was not a good shot by Oden.

 

[Natebishop3]

Greg's baby hook wouldn't be bad, but it's so off-balance, and usually he's too far out for it to be effective. If he busted that out within 3 feet he'd be okay, but usually it's around 5-6 feet.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why didn't Blake take that in?

 

[MAS RipCity]

If Blake is going to miss that..go to the bench

 

[rocketeer]

time to put bayless in for blake. he can't hit anything.

 

[alex42083]

We'd be up 10 if Blake and Rudy hit their shots.

 

[VenomXL]

This is grim. Our backcourt can't make an open bucket to save their lives.

 

[Natebishop3]

time to put bayless in for blake. he can't hit anything.

It wasn't even that he missed.... it was a bad shot. He should have taken it to the hole.

 

[BrianFromWA]

can we please tell Blake to take it in for the layin when he's that open? He's 0-3 on that open baseline jumper tonight (that I've seen...maybe more at the beginning)

 

[MAS RipCity]

Can we put in Bayless AT POINT!..I'd much rather him get experience than watching the Blake Brick Show
