BRoy..too many turns, but he is our rock
This team continues to impress, just no letdowns vs LAL
 
I just watched the replay of Blakes buzzer beater at half time. Who said he traveled? No way.

I had 52 wins as my prediction, too. I thought it was maybe slightly optimistic. I really never expected that they'd exceed it. But they really could...in fact, they should.
 
I only was able to see the 4th Q but...

:smiley-yippee:

I seen you post one time....loved your banner then. :)
 
The RG is going to be rocking on Friday against the Lakers. I can't wait!
 
Lets see what Canzano writes after this game by the Blazers. He'll probably write something positive? Heh Heh
I bet coach Popovich is going to blame the entire game on the refs and not the blazers efforts.

The name of the game with this team is maturity. I'm just stunned by how calm and mature they are when they get in a hole. They collect themselves, take advantage of their opportunities and leverage luck to win games.

The 8th best road record in the NBA isn't exactly "lousy".

Look at all the West teams - they're all lousy road teams against the west, except for maybe Lakers. It's just too difficult to beat western teams at home - especially the top 8, like the Blazers.
 
Very impressive win.

Was the Blazer defense that good after the 1st quarter...or are the Spurs that out of sync? It is rare for a proud, confident team to get knocked back on their heels like that!
 
Just said on 95.5 that Oden and Joel together had 25 rebounds, one shy of the Spurs combined!

I sort of cheated and said that they could win up to 55 depending on injuries. If Greg and Blake hadn't been out for stretches they probably blow my top end prediction away too

The Blake injury probably did hurt our chances at 55 more than Greg, but the way he's starting to contribute even with fouls, I have to say that not losing either would have probably been the little bit that would have us celebrating 55 wins right now instead of 50.

We own the tiebreaker! 3-1 over the Spurs! We're it for 3rd! :cheers:

I think Houston is third; they own the tiebreaker. If the playoffs were to begin today, we'd have HCA against the Spurs. Yikes...

My bad. I forgot we're only fourth. Heh... "only" 4th... :biglaugh:
 
Great win, but I'm not going to get too excited. The Spurs are a shell of their former self. No Ginobili and Duncan can hardly move. They need their Big 3 to be a good team. Once their jumpers stopped falling it was a matter of time before we caught them.

Yeah, but there's no better coached, better executing team than the Spurs. There's no way they should give up a 19 point lead. Yet they not only gave it up, they gave up another 12.

I think the reason their jumpers werent falling was because their older legs were just tired. youth won out here.

They'd still be a nightmare matchup in the playoffs. If we could have HCA against Denver, Houston or SA, I'd want to face SA the least--even without Manu.

I disagree. We would take out SA with or without HCA. 5 games max.

I didn't participate in the game thread tonight, but I always read through them after the fact. This post made me laugh my fucking ass off. Page 3, things weren't going well for our Blazers. At this particular time in the game, I was thinking the same thing. So fucking funny.
 
So sweet this was on national tv too!

Right...

Absolutely. They just don't match up with us. They've got nobody other than Parker that can create his own offense and they're undersized. Duncan's knees will only get worse, not better. They've got no shot to get past the 1st round in my opinion.
 
It is so funny to hear the ESPN fools blasting us in the first quarter and then praising us after the game.
