BLAZERS @ NUGGETS 01.15.13 - 6:00 PM - GAME THREAD

hows nolan smith doing?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Good half, I guess.

Great half if you are expecting a blow out.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's like Lillard and Batum have a competition going to see who can settle for the most jumpers.

hahahahaha so true

 

[B-Roy]

That last play was just so stupid. Matthews waves off a LMA post up to give it to Batum on the perimeter....so he can launch a contested 3? I just don't understand their thought process sometimes. Why keep shooting long shots when you have something going inside?

 

[KingSpeed]

High altitude . . . coming up in the 2nd half

Yep

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Well once again the team is fighting, that's why I enjoy this team

Agree. Don't think the Blazer have enough to pull out a win, but they came to play . . . like most nights this year.

Starters need some help

Received an 'honorable mention' @ the D-League showcase.

Chad.

Buchanan.

This guy is a paid scout, btw.

Once night... just one I would like to see someone from the bench go off. But it amazes me how terrible they play

 

[KingSpeed]

Brooklyn's really turned things around under PJ

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Yep

So I'm just one notch above you in optimism, I think there is a chance Blazers don't get blown out.

I hear he's a swell fella, KP swears by him and would totally let his daughter date him in ten years.

babbitt and Barton have had double figure scoring nights a couple times this year

Anything is better than Avery Johnson ... well maybe not Nate.

We'll lose by 20. Some of you just have to be patient. This isn't our year.

Serious question: why is Avery Johnson so bad? He led the Mavs to a 67-15 record. He was a starting PG on a title team. And he was coach of the month in November. What are his shortcomings as a head coach?

 

[KingSpeed]

There are so many good PGs in the league.

Because like Scott Skiles he wears people out after awhile, players eventually tune him out ... and he sucks at making adjustments.

Jesus . . . Nate is gone already, stop picking on him.

 

[Boise Blazer]

One of the things that encourages me about Lillard is that all of the things that need work in his game are very fixable and most will simply take care of themselves with more game experience. I will be really curious to see if he will be one of the players that add something new each year. That will take him from great to elite.

You'd have to ask Mighty Mouse.

Sounds like someone else we're pretty familiar with.

His helium addiction.

Avery, Nate ... Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Gotcha.

 

[KingSpeed]

LOL!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

How long can Blazers keep it close in 3rd quarter

 

[The_Lillard_King]

LOL!

Funny thing is he is trying to get kicked out and nobody cares

 

[Nikolokolus]

See ya OSUbeavs, I'd say it was nice knowing ya, but you've pretty much been a delta bravo since you got here.

Continue to rebound the basketball and get the ball to Aldridge in the post. Hope McGee keeps playing like an idiot.

That might actually work.
