Blazers @ The Valley Of The Sun Game Thread...........

[Darkwebs]

Very efficient game for Hickson so far. I thought he would be jacking up shots every chance he got.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dang. Frye has been killing us these last few minutes.

 

[MickZagger]

It was a borderline miracle that Outlaw was actually effective off the bench during his Blazer stint. Better coaches obviously haven't known what to do with him than his coach in Portland did.

Catch ball, one dribble to make jumper more contested, then shoot. McMillan made him so dynamic that they got so much value in return for him.

Flynn unselfish there on the break

 

[Darkwebs]

Nice lob pass by Flynn to Hickson

 

[MickZagger]

Flynn is awful. I've seen enough of him.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

man...Gortat is one ugly cracker

 

[DaLincolnJones]

this is really getting ugly as well

Meanwhile, the Blazers are down 9 against a marginal playoff team.

"Somebody is going to put up numbers", regardless of team performance. I don't mind Babbitt or Smith, either, but it's not like this team was going anywhere with them this season had they played more minutes.

This is what McMillan did earlier in the season in the desert with a full cupboard.

 

[Darkwebs]

Frye must be having his best game of the season.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

lol kind bounce there

People really don't want Steve Nash in Portland? I know he's near the end of his career, but he's still absolutely killing us! Granted, this isn't a great lineup to say the least, but the guy has his team shooting 61% and the starters shooting 68%! Obviously defense has a part in that, but he's straight killing us right now like he did in the playoffs.

Our defense is beyond the pale shitty right now. Yes, Nash is good, but this is not the way to measure effectiveness.

That KFC commercial is by the the most annoying commercial I've seen in years.

They got Marcus Camby for him and Steve Blake. That's value, IMO.

"McMillan"

How did your boys Love and Adelman end up tonight after Love was talking shit about the Pacers?

 

[oldmangrouch]

After letting things percolate for awhile......

The difference between tonight's game and a "regular" game was mostly defense. The scrubs gave up 125 - but I doubt the regulars score more than 107. I can't help but wonder if McMillan was a better defensive coach - but even worse offensive coach - than we thought.

You care more about how the Wolves (without Love) play against the Pacers than you care about how we got abused by the Wolves?

Get the Wolves out of your head.
