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

[PapaG]

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

Oden had a PER of 18, an Ortg of 116, and a Drtg of 104. This while the refs fucked him over .

Griffin has a PER of 23.4, an Ortg of 113, and a Drtg of 107, and is neck and neck with Kevin Love for the worst defnding PF in the NBA.

Learn the game, then post.

Oden was horrible. That's one of those scenarios where PER doesn't tell the right story.

 

[MickZagger]

I love Przybilla and all, but he's running around like he has 10lb. weights tied to his ankles. I think he's tipped in two buckets for the Clippers.

Atleast he sets screens and doesn't take shit though.

 

[KingSpeed]

TNT scheduled a whole slew of games for us Oden's rookie year. They wanted to pump him up. But 9ppg 7 rpg just isn't as exciting as 22 & 12.

 

[Rhal]

Griffen has more TF's then our entire team...

 

[crowTrobot]

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

he should be because he's definitely one of the top 9 sophs. problem is top of 09 class is almost entirely guards - curry, tyreke, collison, derozen, jrue holiday, lawson, harden

they will have to take a big or two that won't deserve it anywhere near as much as wes

 

[MickZagger]

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.

He's only a rookie technically.

Yeah, he was missing that one good game for you to nut all over him and think that he was All NBA.

Bullshit. "Half the player" doesn't tell the right story.

 

[PapaG]

Matthews had LMA wide open under the basket on that fast break. At least he got the foul, though.

 

[ehizzy3]

good thing wes made those freethrows because he missed a wide open LA

 

[PapaG]

Nice drive and dish, Wesley!

 

[Rhal]

lol talk about how the clippers are tired because they got in late... No mention of the fact so did we.

 

[Rhal]

Two threes by Gordon is not how I wanted to start the third.

 

[PapaG]

WTF was Matthews doing on that 3 by Gordon?

 

[Darkwebs]

LaMarcus is on fire to start the 3rd.

 

[PapaG]

Griffin isn't even defending LMA at this point. PFs who can't defend their position bother me.

 

[Rhal]

There talking about the forward all star position and still no talk of LA

 

[B-Roy]

Aldridge has his jumper tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

There talking about the forward all star position and still no talk of LA

They mentioned him...

 

[PapaG]

LMA has to defend Griffin, yet Griffin gets to rest on defense on Przy.

Over-fucking-rated.

 

[MickZagger]

This isn't news. Griffin is a sub-par defender. For as much energy he uses to get in the air on offense, I rarely see him leave the ground on defense.

Sean Marks scored with ease on Griffin earlier in the game.

 

[Rhal]

They are lighting it up from three, 3 of 4 so far this quarter.

 

[B-Roy]

LMFA

 

[BrianFromWA]

now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout!

 

[PapaG]

LMAO

Griffin is fucking TERRIBLE on defense.

 

[Darkwebs]

And-one by LMA! Oh yeaahh!

 

[Rhal]

Good play by pryz

 

[RR7]

There talking about the forward all star position and still no talk of LA

ahem

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum shut down Grffin there. Nice!
