Blazers @ T-Wolves 3/7/12 - Game Thread!

[KingSpeed]

9th pick is not out of question.

 

[magnifier661]

Get reay sly! I'll make to save up the shake when I come up in a couple weeks!

 

[B-Roy]

Everyones' agendas out in full force tonight.

Well, that's game. These next few days are about to get really rough.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Our 3 point shooting was atrocious. Theirs was excellent.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Ugh, I hope this doesn't make Chad/Larry go after Ridnour.

As bad as they are when it comes to evaluating talent it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[MickZagger]

Huh? He's 2-3 from the line tonight.

My bad. I hadn't updated my stat tracker on yahoo in awhile.

 

[PapaG]

The refs decided this game when they put LMA into foul trouble because he was giving Kevin Love fits.

It's as simple as that.

The Blazers really should have drafted Durant. Somebody build me a time machine.

FT disparity: the reffing was suspect.
Rebounding disparity: that's on the Blazers.
Horrid 3-pt shooting: that's on the Blazers and their coach.

 

[craigehlo]

Our 3 point shooting was atrocious. Theirs was excellent.

And left them open the entire game out there. That's a typical Nate non-adjustment.

 

[magnifier661]

Ready for the 14-0 in the next minute?

 

[illmatic99]

I hate myself for being a fan of this team.

 

[Rhal]

Something i'd like to post before I go to sleep
Port 3-22 from 3' 3-4 from FT
Wolves 13-23 from 3 15-20 FT

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well congrats to the T-wolves for pulling themselves out of the cellar and into respectability ... the Blazers. Well what else is there to be said that hasn't been already?

Rebounding disparity: that's on the Blazers.

How is horrid 3-pt shooting on the coach?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Serious question...

Why does Babbitt even suit up?

 

[Mediocre Man]

The refs decided this game when they put LMA into foul trouble because he was giving Kevin Love fits.

It's as simple as that.

The Blazers really should have drafted Durant. Somebody build me a time machine.

So it's the refs fault we are going to lose by double digits?

 

[magnifier661]

Nate fired. Crawford, Felton, Matthews and camby all gone. Maybe even Wallace. 2-5 road trip. Things are on the up and up!

 

[BBert]

Nico has missed a lot of open looks he usually makes the last few games. I doubt it helps when he gets yanked in and out of games. Let's try giving him a longer leash and find out?

 

[PapaG]

Losing a #1 over all pick and a 2nd-team All-NBA player in a two-year span isn't easy to recover from.

The refs decided this game when they put LMA into foul trouble because he was giving Kevin Love fits.

Love had 28, 16 and was 9-16 from the floor. I didn't really see anybody give him fits.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

This is the worst post of the worst game thread ever.

I think there are more people wanting Minnesota to win in it than want Portland to win.

I always want this team to win but the more we lose the more likely we get a new GM/Scouts..

I can't stand Chad Buchanan and Larry Miller.

Port 3-22 from 3' 3-4 from FT
Wolves 13-23 from 3 15-20 FT

Portland shoots a lot of jumpers

 

[craigehlo]

How is horrid 3-pt shooting on the coach?

He allowed them to keep shooting from distance instead of taking it inside. Of course they would have tuned Nate out anyway.

 

[KingSpeed]

When you lose two players like Roy and Oden, the best place for you is the NBA Draft. We have to reload. You were right, MM.

 

[Rhal]

Love had 28, 16 and was 9-16 from the floor. I didn't really see anybody give him fits.

He really didn't score a lot or have much of an impact when LA was Guarding him.

 

[craigehlo]

Losing a #1 over all pick and a 2nd-team All-NBA player in a two-year span isn't easy to recover from.

It even more difficult to recover from when the management is in denial that it needs a rebuild.

 

[magnifier661]

Love had 28, 16 and was 9-16 from the floor. I didn't really see anybody give him fits.

Love is weak. He wishes he could lick aldridges jock strap

 

[KingSpeed]

Losing a #1 over all pick and a 2nd-team All-NBA player in a two-year span isn't easy to recover from.

This. Time to mourn the loss of Roy and Oden. I don't think we ever did. It's over. We're done. It's time to start over. Getting bounced in the first round (by Durant, no less) is not something to aspire to. I give.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It even more difficult to recover from when the management is in denial that it needs a rebuild.

Exactly. It's even more difficult to rebuild when you can't draft. Chad's track record speaks for itself.

 

[PapaG]

So it's the refs fault we are going to lose by double digits?

Pretty much. The Blazers had closed the gap, and then LMA got another 2 quick fouls.

I know you pretty much hate Nate, but at this point, you've turned into a troll. I know, because I used to be one.

You're also trying to steal my role as victim, too. I've seen it before.
