Blazers @ Spurs Game Thread

[Rhal]

What the hell game are the refs watching? The shit the spurs are getting away with at the moment is ridiculous.

 

[illmatic99]

God, playing the Spurs when they're executing to perfection puts the Blazers' amateurish style of basketball to shame. This is embarrassing. We're going balls out full of effort, while SA is not even breaking a sweat, and we're still down ten.

Fuck.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

We suck.

 

[B-Roy]

LMA-o twice.

 

[Darkwebs]

Aldridge with 2 put-back jams in a row on fastbreaks to help us stay in the game. This is where his running the court helps us.

 

[bigbailes]

aldridge doing a great job of trailing on the break

 

[Rhal]

I hate these refs so much...

 

[MickZagger]

Parker's a pussy.

 

[Rhal]

19FT for the spurs 5 for us. We need to get more agressive although with the way these refs are calling it it probably won't help.

 

[B-Roy]

I know SA does a good job of not fouling. But 7 FTs is ridiculous.

 

[MickZagger]

Sean Elliott on the Spurs broadcast is hard to listen to.

 

[MickZagger]

Were hanging in this game. We can get this.

 

[MickZagger]

Rudy really has just been a body out there for us lately.

 

[FeloniusThunk]

Spurs really haven't been playing that much better, but the FT difference is *the* story. Wow. I lose a lot of respect for their record, if this is what home cooking looks like for them on any regular basis.

 

[MickZagger]

We aren't even in SA's league from a coaching standpoint. I don't think from a talent standpoint they are that much better than us. Pop gets the best out of his players. Look at Roger Mason as the perfect example.

 

[B-Roy]

The shit the Spurs are getting away with is ridiculous.

 

[MickZagger]

Can't blame the refs on this one. There was some bogus calls, but hardly enough to change the game.

How about Roy's 4-16 from the field performance.

 

[MickZagger]

I don't see how there's any way we can't make a trade for a PG at some point this season.

Roy is the new Webster.....will have an occasional good game, everyone will get excited, and the reality will hit.

 

[Darkwebs]

Armon is playing well in garbage time

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Roy is the new Webster.....will have an occasional good game, everyone will get excited, and the reality will hit.

Cool story, bro.

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeez. We missed like 5 shots in the final 30 seconds. Wow we suck.

 

[bemac]

Cool story, bro.

Not really cool, but a little scary. We have a coach who insists on treating our Webster like a superstar....not a good thing.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Silver lining:

Closer to shaking up the roster and coaching staff.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Not really cool, but a little scary. We have a coach who insists on treating our Webster like a superstar....not a good thing.

You're delusional.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

4-16 FG, another horrific shooting performance from Brandon.

Roy is killing this team.

 

[bemac]

You're delusional.

Never mind...you're that guy. Yes, Roy is a superstar and the leader of this team.....just run it through him, and 2nd round, here we come! He's the best!

 

[Mediocre Man]

My thoughts

1) The difference between the Spurs and the Blazers on offense is staggering. SA is in constant movement, and the Blazers literally stood around all game.
2) The Blazers played pretty darn well defensively.
3) This is what Roy is. A few nice games, and then crap.
4) Cho needs to get something done ASAP. We lost 6 in a row, and then beat the Clips at home, a very average at best Suns team at home, a slumping Orlando team at home, and the same average at best Suns team on the road. Then play a good team and get drilled. We didn't even score 80 points for crying out loud.

 

[RoyToy]

Batum continues to slump. Not even making good decisions anymore. He really needs to step up and snap out of it.

The Spurs shake you up. They get in your shirt. They pull on your jersey and shorts, they push you, they play a bit dirty. They're a frustrating team to play, and they're playing well right now.

No big deal to lose to them. And with us trying to slow down the tempo, it's no big deal to score only 78 points. It's not an unsurprising result.
