Blazers @ Sixers Game Thread

An 11 point 4th quarter.
A horrible game by Roy.
A horrible game by the bench.

I picked the wrong day to promise to try to be more diplomatic.

 

[BGrantFan]

It's time to get rid of Miller. He's a fucking black hole and slows down the offense as much as anyone on the roster.

 

[RoyToy]

The horrible game from Roy pretty much means his knee is flaring up again. This routine is obvious by now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Tomorrow promises to be brutal.

 

[maxiep]

We've lost four in a row and have dropped below .500. Oh yeah, we get to visit Boston tomorrow. Well at least I have my NFL team to keep me positive.

Wait, I'm a Vikings fan.

I'm a Redskins' fan. You own me.

 

[Natebishop3]

draft day.

No, that was KP. What will Cho do?

 

[VenomXL]

Doh. Well, at least we BARELY beat you.

 

[MARIS61]

Nothing to be ashamed of here. We were playing one of the best teams in the league in their building. They were supposed to win.

Nice.

 

[RoyToy]

Trade players for low 1st round draft picks, meaning players that suck get playing time(Armon).?

Cho is terrible, although I'm not even convinced he's allowed to leave his computer.

More than Brand got the entire game (18/8), so somebody must have played some defense on Elton while going for 20/12.

Brand had 18/2. I don't mind criticizing players, but Aldridge at least played well on both ends of the court tonight.

 

[MickZagger]

20pts is 20pts. Doesn't matter when they're scored. If he doesn't score them in the 1st half the 76ers would have been up by 10+ at half. Pts don't count more in the 2nd half.

Loss is not on Aldridge AT ALL. He's one of the two reasons it was even close. To fault him for not carrying the team all night is a joke.

Good players finish games. They don't get progressively worse as the game goes on. He's supposed to be our #1 option since we found out about Roy's bone on bone. If you want no 2nd half production out of your supposed #1 option than I really don't know what to tell ya.

Aldridge had it easy there in the first half and got off to a hot start, once old man Brand decided he was going to tighten the clamps a little bit Aldridge sucked.

This is has been a theme with Aldridge throughout the season. Actually his career really.

My migraine just got worse.

Fuck man. Give it a rest. You have a hard-on for Kevin Love. We get it.

I don't really think it was that great of D. Brand scored 3 points over his average on the year.

 

[B-Roy]

riiiiiiiight.

Excellent logic, Einstein.

10pts in the 1st half and 10pts in the 2nd half doesn't change anything. It's still 20pts, except you're way behind going into halftime.

 

[illmatic99]

Aldridge and probably Matthews are the last guys I'd go after tonight as the biggest culprits.

 

[Natebishop3]

Man, this thread has everything.

Bgrant thinks we should get rid of Miller (GASP)

Zags thinks we should get rid of Aldridge (DOUBLE GASP)

Kingspeed thinks we should have kept Outlaw (TRIPLE GASP)

Where's MM calling for McMillan's head?

No your not!

Aldridge sucks!

Pretty much.

I do hope you realize why I posted about Miller.

You're a bright guy, right? Read the "jump ship" thread if you need a clue.

 

[MickZagger]

or Horford, Millsap, Josh Smith or basically any PF that doesn't play like a pansy.

Aldridge is ranked at 26th for his position in PER. Fans continue to turn a blind eye though.

2 point in the 2nd half from our #1 option on offense. I beg to differ.

Hey, I'm just pointing out the irony.

Rudy Fernandez had a higher PER than Matthews last year.

 

[MickZagger]

Rudy Fernandez had a higher PER than Matthews last year.

PER doesn't take into account defense. Something that Matthews is ions better than Rudy at.

 

[RoyToy]

PER doesn't take into account defense. Something that Matthews is ions better than Rudy at.

He's also a much better basketball player on offense as well, yet Rudy had a higher PER.

Explain this to me.

 

[illmatic99]

"ions better"

Whaaaa?

 

[BGrantFan]

or Horford, Millsap, Josh Smith or basically any PF that doesn't play like a pansy.

Where is he ranked among starters? I mean, Amir Johnson plays 20mpg, but he is much higher than Aldridge in PER.

 

[MickZagger]

He's also a much better basketball player on offense as well, yet Rudy had a higher PER.

Last year I wouldn't say he was a much better player on offense. They were about even. Their PER was pretty similar.
