Season not Over!

 

[Strenuus]

Batum - 18 rebounds

Rest of the team combined - 19.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

After this game.. We will win the NBA Finals hahaha the hopes are back , but with LaMarcus back we are out in first round

 

[Strenuus]

Miami's season must be over.

Do I look like Kingspeed?

 

[BBert]

Batum 22 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists.

If he doesn't equal that every game, he sucks.

 

[crowTrobot]

Batum and Lillard better without LA.

Just sayin'.

Except they went 24-5 playing together. Maybe LMA makes them better when he's trying to make the All-Star team.

 

[BBert]

LOL Just getting in on your exchange with him on the subject.

 

[Strenuus]

Yep. That may be all he cared about.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Just getting in on your exchange with him on the subject.

It gave me a chuckle.

 

[BBert]

Batum - 18 rebounds

Rest of the team combined - 19.

Clearly Batum is stealing rebounds from his teammates. Selfish twat.

 

[riverman]

Nico freakin Batum baby!!!!! Played 45 minutes, 22 18 and 5 with a steal..put this team on his back tonight! Great to get back in the win column! Go Blazers!

 

[riverman]

Clearly Batum is stealing rebounds from his teammates. Selfish twat.

yep, but he's stealin' them from LA who's in a suit

 

[Strenuus]

This is true, also.

Better not let Batum see that though, he may get you banned for a personal attack.

 

[riverman]

Batum and Lillard better without LA.

Just sayin'.

no freakin way....it's a team sport and these guys win or lose as a team. Any of the starters could have this impact on the court any given night, tonight it was Nico but Dame had a mediocre 3 qtrs without LA. Great 4th qtr though.

 

[BBert]

yep, but he's stealin' them from LA who's in a suit

LOL And then some.

Batum's been rebounding like he found an incentive clause in his contract.

Seriously: Batum does what he's told is needed, IMO. Lately, it's been rebounding. Tonight it was also scoring.

Super. Glue.

 

[BBert]

This is true, also.

Better not let Batum see that though, he may get you banned for a personal attack.

If he posts here, he knows he's my main 'mec'.

Good game, Nico!

 

[RoyToy]

Saying Lillard and Batum are better w/o Aldridge is pointless

Just like it's pointless to say Kevin Durant is better w/o Westbrook

The Blazers need Aldridge if they want to be taken seriously in the playoffs

The Thunder need Westbrook if they want to compete for a championship

Also, the Hornets suck.

 

[riverman]

RoLo was the reason why the Blazers kept that lead.

Rolo and actually Earl impacted the turn around that sparked the run.

 

[PapaG]

Smallest game thread of the year? Perhaps.

lol. Some people can't take a few losses.

More like, some people can't take the constant negativity from a small group of posters. Where is that rookie who lectured us all about posting here? You'd think a poster who has written at least one farewell opus a month since joining here would actually show up for a game thread after the stunt he pulled here a few days ago.

 

[DamianLillard#0]

im off guys.. we see us against Goldenstate , its bed time.. my home town team in soccer plays tommorow here so i go there , im season ticket holder for Hertha BSC Berlin

 

[PapaG]

Yep. That may be all he cared about.

Or, it may not be all he cared about, and he's been playing hurt.

It would be nice if you and cmeese could both just ignore each other.

 

[PapaG]

Nic's had some huge games rebounding the basketball in recent weeks.

 

[riverman]

Nic is really, really good at adjusting to Rolo in the post or Joel. He makes both of those guys better and picks up the slack when they need help on the boards.

 

[PapaG]

It would be nice if you and cmeese could both just ignore each other.

The guy is infatuated with me. It's cute.

 

[riverman]

Robin has also made LaMarcus and Nic better at rebounding because he's good at boxing out or stifling the opposing center and creates room in the paint.

 

[PapaG]

Yes, it refreshing that the Blazers have a center who takes up bodies when rebounding this year, unlike last year, when Hickson was boxing out his own teammates for rebounds.

 

[TripTango]

Great win. Are we #1 again yet?

 

[Sinobas]

Once again, the blazers look better without LaVagina.

Good call.
