Blazers vs Kings - Game thread!

[KingSpeed]

Dante also played some SF in summer league.

 

[OdenHoF]

Find me a quote, because I've NEVER heard him say anything of the sort.

More like internet fanbase projecting our depth chart before we had the injuries. In theory DC could do well as a SF, considering his size and speed and ability to shoot, and we would've had a gigantic lineup (GO/Przy, LA/Camby, Batum/DC). That's another topic though.

Ideal circumstances I suppose.

 

[OdenHoF]

At halftime, this would be a blowout to any decent team if we played like this.

That's an understatement.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Dante played some spot minutes at SF and nothing on your link disproves that.

Since when is 0% spot minutes? Maybe spot minute, but that hardly qualifies him as filling in at the position.

All due respect, but Dante can't dribble in traffic and he'd struggle like hell to guard a 2 or quick 3. Back in the day when Jerome Kersey was a small forward he might have been able to match up, but his skill-set is almost a pure pick n' pop 4, if he added a three point shot he'd be a classic stretch 4 in the mold of a guy like Vladamir Radmonovich.

What does that even mean? If we played a different team, the match ups would be different. That team's effort would be different. It'd be an entirely different game.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Joel looked old and Cousins ain't no PG.

If they played this sloppy against a better team, they'd be down by more than 2 at half.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Finally! Joel gets a call.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Cousins just pwned Pryzbilla.

Revenge of the Joel!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Usually they wait to call that to see if the team scores.

 

[RipCityInsider]

Wesley is getting HOT!

 

[KingSpeed]

If they played this sloppy against a better team, they'd be down by more than 2 at half.

The "better team" could've played sloppy too. The sloppiness may because of the match ups against the Kings but necessarily against the "better team.". It is possible to play "sloppy" and beat a great team.

And finally, We're playing the Kings tonight and beating them is all that matters.

And if my Aunt had a beard, she'd be Arvydas Sabonis.

 

[illmatic99]

We aren't involving Aldridge in the offense enough. LA has shot no FTs.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

And if my Aunt had a beard, she'd be Arvydas Sabonis.

And she'd have a hard time getting a date. Well, maybe a car date.

 

[KingSpeed]

My point exactly. You can't say that we'd be losing if we were playing a better team.

3 bagger. one for her head, one for the guys and a third for anyone who accidentally comes into the room.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

FINALLY!!!!A foul for pushing off.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

That was over my head.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

4 blocks by Dante.

 

[OdenHoF]

double crossover from Matthews for the easy layup

note: nothing like vintage-roy crossover, kind of a more basic attempt without the sharpness

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

That's a shot Rudy has to take.

 

[B-Roy]

4 blocks by Dante.

Cunningham is -15 for the game, and his +/- is pretty accurate so far for this game.

 

[VenomXL]

So many fucking turnovers for the Blazers.

 

[julius]

Watching that Spurs highlight clip just now, I had actually forgotten that Greg Oden played for the Blazers last season.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dante Fucking Cunningham!

 

[julius]

This looks like a game where the Blazers have absolutely no idea what the hell they're doing on offense or defense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Cunningham is -15 for the game, and his +/- is pretty accurate so far for this game.

His +/- would be worse if he wasn't kicking ass like he is tonight. Or do you wish he hadn't blocked 4 shots or had that put back jam?
