Blazers vs Jazz game thread

[mgb]

Any one know why Roy isn't playing?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Joel and Steve of course. They would be ahead if Nate hadn't subbed them out for Greg and Andre

I know you are being sarcastic . . . which makes it even funnier that while you are ripping on Blake he is the one responsible for leading the team in the third quarter . . . putting the Blazers back in the game . . . until subbed out.

Back to back games and saving their star

ALdridge is playing, so I'm guessing Roy isn't 100%

Three point guards have half of the points.

As it should be. They are "point" guards after all, duh.

You really don't sweat these pre-season games, do you?

(which is the right attitude)

Better question is since he isn't playing, why isn't rudy finally getting some PT?

Uhmmmm ... no, not so much.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Because Nate hates Spaniards ... as do all rational people.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Probably because as it has been reported since last night Rudy has back spasms and didn't even make the trip to Utah.

You're on the ball today.

He's pouting against management for trading Sergio. Says he refuses to play until we trade for another short, bad jumpshot, no defense foreign point guard.

Once again, Miller takes more shot attempts than anyone else on the team.

The Great Distributor!

How many shot attempts per game is Miller averaging this pre-season . . . anyone know?

 

[Nikolokolus]

FREE BAYLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I dunno, something like 13 or 14 per game (I'm too lazy to double check)

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Blazers down by 3

 

[B-Roy]

Ime Udoka is a +17. Haha.

 

[crowTrobot]

FREE BAYLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where would bayless' confidence be right now if we had developed him with sergio's minutes last year like any other sane team would have done.

 

[blue32]

Considering we're about 55% on our free throws, and our shooting is even worse, we'd probably have won.....had we had those stats up, we took tons of shots.

 

[blue32]

What's funny though, is that the Utah scrubs, are kicking the shit out of our so called "Depth"......I am starting to wonder, do we have a bad coach, or our we too much of homers to understand our "depth" isn't really good.
Just questions, not screaming bloody murder, just thinkin' a'loud.

Maybe a little of both, but not much of either, if that makes sense.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Wasn't envisioning him taking that many shots during a game. I wonder if he will keep that up in during the season?

In the immortal words of Douglas Adams, the answer is 42 ...

 

[Entity]

Nice to see the bench get some run.

I know its just PS, but come on, ya gotta wonder???? Where is the progress?

Shit cunningham came out better than Trout... p

I wanna say no way, but who knows ... as long as he isn't taking bad shots I don't have a huge problem with 10 or so a night, but if other guys aren't getting it going then there could be problems.

Bench types Batum, Przybilla, Blake, Howard, Bayless, Udoka, Collins, and Cunningham combine for 20-35 for 57.1% from the field and for 66 of the 96 points.

In the toilet.

He was incapable of performing well enough to not cost us wins with more PT, he was the weak link on team defensive sets, and he would not have improved as he seemingly has if he was handed a job he obviously wasn't prepared for at the time.

Instead, he got worried, maybe started listening to the coaches, and is probably a better player for it.

Why did you leave out Outlaw?

To bad Sergio never did that.
