Blazers @ Phoenix Game Thread 1/14/11

[KingSpeed]

Patty Mills swishing three pointers pregame. Babbitt put in some work on his driving game too.

 

[KingSpeed]

Matthews wincing as he jogs onto the court.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bobby Medina stretching Aldridge right in front of me.

 

[THE HCP]

Do you have a boner!?!

 

[jlprk]

I rented Memorial Coliseum and THEN you tell me the game's in Phoenix!! Fuck!!

 

[B-Roy]

Nash just said "fuck you bitch" to the ref.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Whoever is teaching Batum how to establish position on the block is doing a horrid job.

 

[illmatic99]

It seems like either feast or famine for Wes. He reminds me of Juan Dixon. But he plays D.

 

[illmatic99]

Our defense is appalling.

 

[B-Roy]

Our defense is beyond horrid. We're not every trying to contest shots. Fuck this game.

 

[MickZagger]

I don't think anything about him reminds me of Dixon.

 

[illmatic99]

I don't think anything about him reminds me of Dixon.

I was referring the streaky nature of both guys' play.

 

[MickZagger]

Yeah, I can see that. I thought you were referring to styles. I always just thought Dixon was consistently bad.

 

[jlprk]

The Suns always shoot great against McMillan.
-----
Dixon was very good at desperately scoring 2 points where there seemed to be no opening in the defense. So I'd compare him to Roy, not just Matthews.

 

[B-Roy]

The Suns always shoot great against McMillan.

That happens when you are allowed three seconds to prepare and shoot.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Easy baskets, I love it.

 

[B-Roy]

Easy baskets, I love it.

You love easy baskets against us?

 

[illmatic99]

LOL Wes.

 

[B-Roy]

PATTY FLOP LOL

And then Matthews with the streaky shot.

 

[MickZagger]

36 points in the 1st? Thats the most we've got in a while.

 

[KingSpeed]

Quit bitchin. Great fucking game.

 

[jlprk]

Matthews' last second heave was a Jordan shot. He catches the ball with a second left, in the left corner, momentum carrying him toward the baseline, and up in the air, moving sideways toward the baseline, puts up a shot that's almost a 3 pointer from the corner, I'm thinking yawn, end of quarter, and IT GOES IN!!! And Michael Jordan wins the NBA championship!!!

 

[MickZagger]

Anybody know the last time we had a season sweep against the Suns.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

VC looks like black santa claus.

 

[B-Roy]

Nice pass wow.

I laughed. Great storytelling.

LOL. Well whatever it was, it's nice to have "good" Wesley tonight.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

ElMarcus Aldridge!

The "La" just doesn't fit anymore.

 

[illmatic99]

PHX runs that play where Nash or Tragic run the baseline and circle back against every team. We're the only one that switches defenders on it. LA needs to stay back and Patty or Nic need to fight through the picks and stay on the PG.

 

[illmatic99]

How was that a foul?
