Blazers @ Minnesota Game Thread 1/7/11

Quick:

Blazers trainer Jay Jensen informs me Rudy Fernandez is in locker room with an upset stomach.

Might explain the funky Mills-Miller combo.

 

[B-Roy]

How did Aldridge hit that wow....

 

[Darkwebs]

Dante is such a great hustle guy

"Wolves down 15 with 5 minutes to go, but thats not a big lead in the NBA... trust me" so says the Wolves announcer

I hope he isn't right...

lol. It was the sideline reporter. I thought it was pretty amateur too.

 

[STOMP]

did Beasley get in a fight with a weed wacker?

[Darkwebs]

Lamarcus just made a big offensive play, then a big defensive play right after. Terrific!

He flopped, but got the call. Good job LA.

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA is coming up big when we need him the most. What a great putback dunk

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's nice that the T-Wolves showed the rest of the league how to play Matthews. Totally took him out of his game.

 

[blazerboy30]

What a play by Camby!

 

[Darkwebs]

Camby with the huge fastbreak steal. That pretty much sealed the game

 

[B-Roy]

Too little too late for the pups. LA closes the door.

 

[DUB]

WTF is Dre's problem?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Miller once again doing what the bigs should be doing

 

[Nikolokolus]

WTF is Dre's problem?

Is this sarcasm?

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL at Matthews barely getting his career high after that 1st half

 

[DUB]

Is this sarcasm?

I didn't see anything malicious about the play, just hustle.

Seemed an overreaction by Miller.

I don't understand why that is so funny.

Tolliver wasn't getting off of Nic fast enough for Miller's taste so he let him know. Perfect move IMO.

 

[B-Roy]

Free points for Matthews...

 

[DUB]

Big minutes from our starters; considering the lead we had most of the game, you'd think N8 would have given them a bit more of a rest.

 

[illmatic99]

4th straight 25/10 game for LA.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well if the game hadn't gotten down to single digits in the fourth then I'm sure he would have played the subs more.

 

[DUB]

I'm not talking about throwing guys on at the end in a blowout, but resting starters earlier in the game when we do have a big lead.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Miller the ballhog called his own number 9 fucking times in 37 minutes. Yet again, he totally killed the flow of the offense.

Good thing we have Patty Mills, everyone's darling, to show old man Miller how it's done. Patty also called his own number 9 times, in 16 minutes, but he's a much better shooter than Miller. So, that's OK.

BNM

Probably didn't help that Rudy had the stomach issues.

 

[BBert]

WTF is Dre's problem?

Andre was already sick of getting beat on without hearing a whistle long before that incident. Did you see Brewer whacking Wesley in the head with his elbows? Andre had enough and probably felt he got stomped on when he was on the floor. This is the third time I've seen Andre assert himself like that in a game when the refs wouldn't clean it up. Good for him.
