Two words: Gerald Wallace.

He was a freakin' beast and definitely the difference in their OT win.

I was super bummed..partly because Barrett had hooked me up with killer seats and I really wanted to enjoy a win there.
 
WHAT!?! Hawks took down the mighty Celtics? I guess it makes our loss to the Hawks not as bad. Kinda.
 
It may not have been pretty, but it's still a W. We'd better bring more tomorrow.
 
Anyone else watching the ads after the game on the Spanish stream? :lol:

Some of the dubbing of the English language programs. :biglaugh:

I loved the win! Honestly, it was really really good for us. Our shots weren't falling, even our stars were having trouble, yet they were able to anchor down on the defensive end and seriously take NO completely out of the game.

Their defense wasn't good, our shots just weren't falling. Our defense was stellar. I mean Holy Christ the rebounding differential was out of this world.

This was a great learning game for our team. All the players we had to worry about were taken out of their game.

Agreed 100%. That was a great game. And the fact that we limited Paul to basically nothing was amazing.
 
A win is a win! Tell ya what though, Rudy is playin himself out of minutes with his careless turnovers, I am not at all liking his play so far this year.

This is how you win on the road. You completely take the other team completely out of their comfort zone. Our points in the paint was stellar as well. We need wins like this. It tells the team you can win, even when you have a bad day offensively.

Not a good game for Blakey tonight. 1-7 from the floor, 1-5 from downtown. Still logged 30 minutes. Why isn't Rudy or Bayless taking his minutes?

cause Rudy has sucked worse so far this season, turnover machine and lousy shooting in all but one game.

Well, Nate is the one who encouraged him to pass and push the ball. I think he'll snap out of it soon.

People were applauding Nate's decision to let Rudy handle the ball more.

he makes some good passes then he makes some god awful ones, way too many TO's, frankly if he's not hitting 3's consistently he's just not that good

I thought he was more of a slasher before he got to the NBA. He almost never slashes, and since Sergio left, he almost never goes to the hole.
 
Why haven't we been running? It's pretty easy, Nate. We don't push the ball, and we struggle to score.

As for Bayless, I have been saying since training camp that he has outplayed Blake and Rudy both.

I think Blake is a glorified role player, who should end up playing behind Rudy, Jerryd and Andre.

A good 4 guard lineup would be Rudy, Roy, Andre and Jerryd, imho. Blake should play spot minutes, he has a role.

IF they're going to have a 3 guard lineup, I'd rather it be one with Rudy in the starting 5, instead of Blake. He's not good enough to get the minutes he's getting.
 
Blazers showed tonight why you don't move LMA or Greg for Chris Paul. For the first time, they showed the semblance of the 99 spur team on defense and offense. LMA and Greg Oden dominated the inside tonight. Rebounding, put backs, blocking and altering shots. The two has yet to scratch the surface and you already can see just how effective and even dominant they are going to be.

This team with these two are going to be scary. Flat out scary. Look out league.

While I have been one who wouldn't think twice about trading LMA to get CP3, you bring up an excellent point. And I saw it with my own 2 eyes tonight. When you control the offensive and defensive glass like we did tonight, it absolutely demoralizes opponents. If they can start doing that consistently, LOOK OUT NBA!! Well put! :cheers:
 
Early season crisis averted? Still time left for this to be a good season?

.700 ball isn't a bad start to the season, really. Sure, it's disappointing, but even a .700 team should make it into the playoffs and then yaneverknow. ;)

No, this season is still a disaster:

Greg's not averaging a double double.
Rudy's poutting and will likely go back to Spain soon.
Bayless will also demand more minutes.
Joel too.
Roy's shot is off. He's just all outta whack for whatever reason.
LMA doesn't deserve his big-ass contract.
Andre just doesn't fit.
Blake is still Blake.
Outlaw sucks.
Juwan Howard isn't as charismatic as Frye was/is.
Batum's hurt.
Dante's clearly the best player off the bench but isn't getting any burn.
Webster . . . he really should be Chris Paul for us.
There's not enough PT for Mills and Pendergraph; why hasn't KP traded them?
McMillan's an ass-clown.

^^^ does all of that add up for a good season???

You forgot that Roy's playoff beard grows kinda patchy. We're screwed.

No, our season was lost after Greg bricked those 2 FTs against Denver. We lost the tiebreaker.

Playoffs???

Playoffs?

You think this team is going to make the playoffs??? If I'm honest with myself, I have to say that they're wayyyy over-achieving against teams they have no business beating. They will come back to earth with a THUD - sorry, it's the truth!

Oh, and Oden's a bust.

LoL, yeah he does.

So in November (so all but 3 games) these are Greg's stats...

12.1ppg; 8.6rpg; 1.9bpg on 62% shooting.

That's really not bad for just the beginning of the year. I do expect him to just get better as we learn how to work him in the offense more effectively and Miller gets more comfortable with him and the team.
