Blazers v. Clips game thread (on TNT) 1/20

[Rhal]

"thats the pass you want out of that double team" do the NBA guys just not watch the game? Only LMA was guarding him.

 

[Darkwebs]

We got good Rudy and good Wes tonight. Sweet

 

[Darkwebs]

Griffin should just build a house on the FT line.

 

[illmatic99]

More garbage calls.

 

[Rhal]

The Refs have been letting Jordan give a lot of body and hit and bump LMA a lot taking away his inside game. If they give a foul or two to him it'll open us up and LMA will just start beasting.

I thought "we stink."

 

[Darkwebs]

That was such BS!!!!!!!

 

[Rhal]

HE TRIPS LMA AND WE GET THE CALL WHAT THE HECK

 

[B-Roy]

Bullshit.

 

[illmatic99]

Rookie calls, my ass.

 

[Darkwebs]

I thought "we stink."

We did stink to start the game. But now we are playing better.

 

[Darkwebs]

What a play by Dre. Faked the pass to freeze Blake and went up for the wide open lay in.

 

[Rhal]

Im still steamed by that call on LMA. We better get a makeup or two on Jordan/Griffen for that

 

[PapaG]

LOL at that foul on LMA.

 

[KingSpeed]

We never stunk. It was just a slow start. Whether or not you "stink" is decided by whether or not you can win the whole game, not the first three minutes.

 

[Darkwebs]

We overcame a slow start and playing 5 on 8 to take a 5 point lead into halftime. Impressive.

Don't doubt this team again.

 

[PapaG]

10 FTA for Griffin in the first half.

Incredible.

 

[KingSpeed]

Is Wesley Matthews gonna be in the rookie/soph game next month?

 

[BrianFromWA]

so much for LMA getting some national attention. His name wasn't mentioned in the halftime show. They've slurped Griffin, B-Diddy, Wes for MIP, Nate...nothing about LMA.

 

[illmatic99]

Imagine if Oden would have gotten the calls that Griffin gets.

Aldridge has been good so far, but he needed to be spectacular to get some attention.

Griffin has 13 and 12. He has the NBA season high of 47 points in a game. His team has won 11 of 15 including games against Miami and L.A. He's earned it. Let's see what Aldridge does in the second half and what they say then.

12/7/2 assists isn't a bad first half while holding a 5 point lead.

 

[KingSpeed]

Imagine if Oden was Half as good as Griffin in his rookie year.

Do you actually watch games on TNT? They will focus on the Clippers and Blake Griffin in the postgame show, win or lose.

 

[RR7]

So 3-10 and poor defense is spectacular enough to get the attention? Meh, whatever. We never get talked about at half time of these games. And after we win them, they say how the other team lost it. Works for me, as long as it still counts the same in the W column.

 

[B-Roy]

12/7/2 assists isn't a bad first half while holding a 5 point lead.

Read my post again....

 

[BrianFromWA]

did Chuck just say "there's lots of fat women in San Antonio" right before "the Riverwalk is a dirty li'l creek"?

That's because he's one of the great stories of the season. Best rookie since LeBron, maybe better. They wouldn't focus on him if he sucked.
