Blazers-Memphis Game Thread

[Natebishop3]

10 seconds left and Bulls/Nuggets are tied.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Oden isn't going to be the man for awhile.

Nor should he be, but Roy has got to look for him more than he does. He also has to embrace that for this team to take the next step.

 

[Natebishop3]

Aldridge has really manned up in the paint.

Of course, I agree completely. I just didn't agree that Roy passing to Oden suddenly means he's giving up "being the man".

 

[Natebishop3]

Nevermind... gamecast is slow. He hit the first one. Denver is gonna win.

 

[ABM]

Holy shit! If I'm reading this right, Billups missed two free throws that would have won the game. .6 seconds left now and Chicago with the ball.

Nope, he hit one. Denver wins.

He made one. Missed the second intentionally so Chicago couldn't get a shot at it. Noah grabs the rebound and Bulls are given .3 on the clock.

 

[MickZagger]

Brad Miller makes an amazing catch and flip shot from just inside the 2 point line. Bulls think they've won, they're reviewing it.

 

[Natebishop3]

WoW! BULLS WIN!

Interesting. Yahoo said game over.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why do both our centers have foul trouble?

 

[MickZagger]

Interesting. Yahoo said game over.

I'm watching the game on NBATV. Everybody thought the game was over, Bulls were awarded .3 on a Billups miss and Noah board and he called timeout. Brad Miller made an amazing catch and shoot. Now they've been reviewing the play for about 5 minutes to determine if it was good or not. It looks good to me.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Poor Chicago.

 

[MickZagger]

They ended up ruling that he didn't get it off in time. I thought he did, everyone thought he did.

 

[ABM]

Two quick thoughts:

1) Great D tonight

2) Was disappointed that Jerryd didn't get any run. Nate must have read the Rudy comments.

Conspiracy.

 

[illmatic99]

Oden beasted.

Nice to see.

 

[andalusian]

JB had 3:32 tonight and we were -8 when he was in. Not surprised he did not get a run tonight. It will come. He is getting better.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Entire starting five either +16 or +18. Crazy.

 

[B-Roy]

Great defense.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Greg Oden was ridiculous, he was the difference, he was our best player. The offense needs to go through him more consistently.

 

[illmatic99]

Our big three looked like a big three for the first time... ever?

Oden: 14/6/1/2--------6/10fg
Roy: 20/1/7/1---------6/11fg
Aldridge: 16/12/3/2/1--7/12fg

By everyone did you mean those unbiased chicago announcers? I thought his finger tips were touching the ball when the light went on.

that justintv stream was nice...but not worth any money....lol @ needing 10 dollars in donation for each game

Not if he can't stay on the floor. Did you see the replays of him when he scored? The memphis players were doing much worse to Greg than what Greg did to pick up those two early fouls. The inconsistency with the refs are bullshit. Great job by Nate (That's right) by saving Greg for the second half. That's when the games are won, and smart coaches know that.

Good win - man, I think half the posters here could have beaten Gay in a game of horse. That dude couldn't hit anything.

Solid 2nd half for Oden.

The best defensive game from Blake that I've ever seen.

Roy was solid.

Rudy's shot is much better.

Outlaw took the night off.

 

[noknobs]

God I love beating Memphis.

And I loved seeing Oden face up Zach and then give him a head cold on his way to a dunk. Nice defense, Zach.

And fuck the refs. For fucksake, this conspiracy against our bigs is ridiculous. To foul Joel out on a call like that is a joke. The only other center in the league who woulda got called for a foul on that is Oden.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Aldridge has really manned up in the paint.

3rd double-double in his last 4 games. Averaging about 16 & 10 since the Atlanta game.

Gay is not too good in a half court game. He is awesome in a fast paced game. Good game plan by the Blazers to slow it down. As painful as it was to watch.

I believe he meant $10 dollars total from everyone. There were probably 20 plus people watching that stream, so that's less than a dollar per game. For a stream of that quality, it's worth it imo.
