Blazers-Spurs game thread

Embarrassing defense all around.

 

[MAS RipCity]

we got so close..but fell too far behind

 

[KingSpeed]

Aw fuck

 

[mgb]

Parker just killed us.

 

[cdub503]

maaaaaaan what the hell

 

[hypnosmurf]

spurs announcer just referred to Matt Bonner as the "Red Rocket"

 

[MadeFromDust]

Game over.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Honest and realistic? I think it's more like flighty and pessimistic.

Being a fan means that you support your team until the final buzzer. Calling it over with a 10 point deficit at the start of the 4th is not only mathematically and statistically foolish, it's bad fandom.

hate to say i told ya so, but it is over and it was over when I posted.
You just don't come back from 14 down in the 4th to beat the Spurs at home, esp when we never win there

 

[illmatic99]

Outlaw on Parker = LOL.

Way to go there, Nate.

 

[KingSpeed]

We need to win this one.

 

[maxiep]

being honest and realistic is considered a quitter? yea, okay...I think its over..so sue me...I'm still watching, just giving my opinion..I don't have to be all happy joy joy like the two Mikes who sugar coat everything

Yes, you're honest and realistic that you're a quitter.

 

[Darkwebs]

Parker killed us single handedly.

 

[craigehlo]

This is pretty much a microcosm of all that went wrong last season. Bad D and no inside scoring.

Way to stand pat KP.

Umm it's still not over and you told us nothing because you can call a game before it's over. So you were wrong for saying it was over even if we lose.

Learn the game, then post.

 

[B-Roy]

We need to win this one.

You were guaranteeing a win were you not?

 

[TripTango]

Ok, NOW it's getting close to game over...

 

[maxiep]

I agree on their offense.

Their defense has always been built on being allowed to grab, hold and shove to an absurd degree.

Remember the Bad Boys of Detroit?

They exploit the rules. It earned Detroit two rings in the early 90s and the Spurs three in the past six years. We should take notes.

 

[KingSpeed]

I was hoping!

 

[tlongII]

This is the most disappointing performance of the year by the Blazers for me. Horrible offense and horrible defense against a crippled team. Unbelievable.

No, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that you quit on your team with PLENTY of time left.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Yes, you're honest and realistic that you're a quitter.

whatever makes you sleep better at night

Why would we want to emulate winning teams? Nate wants to turn us into the Sonics team he used to coach. Soft, jumpshooting and predictable.

 

[MadeFromDust]

What's wrong with Roy? He's so off tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why didn't Frye dunk that?

 

[MAS RipCity]

holy crap 3 straight missed bunnies, c'mon guys

 

[mgb]

What's worst is a certain poster is going to be posting the next week,,,,I hate to see the threads after this game.

 

[maxiep]

You have to give the Spurs a ton of credit. They have completely taken Brandon Roy out of his game. I tip my hat to San Antonio.

 

[Spud147]

Parker is ridiculous! UGH!!!

But I have to give props to Channing for coming in ready to play and contribute when he's had so many DNP-Coach's Decisions lately. I love the guy, he's fit right in with us and I want him to succeed so bad!

 

[craigehlo]

What's wrong with Roy? He's so off tonight.

He's asked to do everything for this team. Dude needs some help since he's not Kobe, DWade or LeBron.

 

[KingSpeed]

A tip of the hat to the Spurs. They played great.
