Blazers upset about hard screen.............

[Wheels]

mah guess we are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I am going to do everything in my annoying power to get Tyson so pissed off at me; that he comes to my section and sock me in the face. Hopefully I can get him suspended for game 7.

I was thinking shit talking like "Hey Tyson, your momma must be real proud she raised such a good daughter! Only bitches whine to the refs!"

or this "Chandler, is that a jock strap or g-string?!"

or "Chandler I didn't know the NBA has women playing in it! You one hella ugly bitch!"

"Do you just look like Freddie Mercury or do you fuck like him too?"

"Are you the catcher or is Barea?"

 

[julius]

Maybe the Blazers should be upset that they rebounded like a bunch of drunken yokels.

Hey, you leave me and uncle grandpa out of this!

 

[Boob-No-More]

If I was Patty, I'd be more pissed at my teammates than Brian Cardinal. CALL THE FUCKING SCREENS!

If the Blazers want to use that as motivation, fine whatever.

P.S. I think that was the only time in the entire game the Blazers didn't switch on a screen.

That was a legal pick. The only issue that I can agree with is that it was unnecessary given the time and score. The team shouldn't need something this insignificant to motivate them in an elimination game.

And, Patty, leave this stuff out of twitter, please. Threatening them by saying they will have to "deal with the rest of the family" makes you look weak.

Up 11 with 10 seconds to go and Cardinal decides to put his stamp on the series with a hard screen? I have absolutely no problem with hard screens, in fact I love when a hard screen is set. But, there is no need to set a screen like that when the shot clock wasn't even running because the game was about to end.

The game was over. His teammates weren't paying attention.

Not sure if they were paying attention when the game wasn't over either.

[Mediocre Man]

still guys... we played hard till the end with the full court press, why do we expect someone else to stop playing hard when we still are?

I don't get it either.

 

[Boob-No-More]

The game was over. His teammates weren't paying attention.

Then why was Patty pressuring the ball and why was Armon Johnson all over Barea AFTER the Cardinal pick? Fact is, players on both sides were still playing hard, before, during and after the pick. His teammates should have called out the pick. They didn't and he ran into the hard screen. Of course, now they have his back and are looking out for him on twitter. If they would have been looking out for him during the game, they would have called out the screen. They didn't and he got blindsided.

We may be sissies on the court, but we're the toughest talking team on twitter.

 

[MARIS61]

Cardinal sums it up best.

"Oh, no. Shoot, no," Cardinal said. "You know, it doesn't matter to me. I've played a total of what two minutes this series? If they're worried about me and my screens ..."

 

[Nikolokolus]

Anybody who thinks there is anything wrong with what Cardinal did (esp. Patty and his teammates) needs to re-examine they way they look at playoff basketball. I'm dying to see a Blazers team that plays with that same kind of edge.

 

[tlongII]

Hell yes we better be pissed off! I don't care if people think it was the norm for playoff basketball or not. I would be pissed off and take it out on the Mavs!

I don't understand the outrage. Cardinal was standing there--on the opposite side of the court from where Patty's guarding the ball--for a full second before Patty slammed into him. What was Cardinal supposed to do, run away from the little man running at him? If there's anyone to be upset at (which I don't think there is), it would be Barea, who guided Patty into the unnecessary screen. I've never understood getting all pissed off at some guy who's really just standing still.

If this succeeds and he punches your lights out, I will personally buy you a steak dinner.

Who said anything about "outrage"? I'm just for using anything the opponents say or do as motivation to play harder and nastier. I'm all for laying Kidd out just because he has body odor. Barea I'd nail just for daring to be on the court (well, that and the fact that the little creep has the audacity to hook up with a Miss Universe contestant). Cardinal deserves a well-placed elbow just for being ugly. The fact that he nailed Patty with a pick is just a good reason to aim a little lower than usual with the elbow.

I'm cool with that. I was cheering as loud as anyone on Thursday during a hard foul in the paint that sent Terry to the floor. I don't think you're quite who I was addressing.

Is leaning into a player while setting a screen actually legal? I've seen it happen a couple times without a call (along with the "accidental" hip check when a player is fighting through the screen) and by my understanding of the rule both of which are illegal screens. A screen is an act of keeping your exact position, not moving out of position to hit the player harder. I'm sure you can all conceive the amount of force that is imparted into the player even with the slightest lowering of the shoulders- it's physics, force and counterforce and those counterforces are potentially harmful.

I've seen both of these instances this whole series (half of everything Dirk does is borderline illegal (handchecks, hip checks, moving screens), I guess it's just what he has to do to make up for his feminine physique), not just this time with Cardinal.

Personally, I think the "yo mamma" stuff isn't that effective. That's the kind of stuff you hear all the time on the court. I'd try to make it personal.

His middle name is Cleotis. That just seems ripe for pointing out. "Hey Cleotis! Cleotis Chandler! Wasn't that the kid with the banjo in Deliverance?"

"Hey Cleotis Chandler! How'd the second pick in the draft go through 5 teams in 10 years? Nobody want you Cleotis?"

"Hey Cleotis Chandler! You and Eddy Curry ever hook up? Who was the bottom?"

"Hey Cleotis! Which sucked more--getting traded for PJ Brown or Matt Carrol?"

"Hey Cleotis! Second pick in the draft by the Clippers! No rings, no max contract. Once a Clipper, always a Clipper! Hey everybody, it's Clipper Cleotis!"

He was probably named after a relative as well, so making fun of the middle name is a good idea.

I would ask what kind of a middle name clitoris was for a man.

I'm sure there's a crack about him being a pussy in there somewhere, but I can't quite sniff it out.

Sounds great!

Don't forget to practice making this face.

Everybody wants to punch this face. It's in our DNA.

With an extra raw steak for his eye, I hope.

Cleotis, Clitoris. Rhymes with Deloris.

Start out with Cleotis, then morph into calling him Clitoris. A normal sized guy would have grown up with that. Someone his size, probably no one said it to him more than once.

Enjoy your steak!

Someone could get real creative and call him Mulva. Or just ask what female body part his middle name sounds like
