Blazers vs Lakers Game Thread..... 11/07/10

[BGrantFan]

Roy has had the ball on multiple occasions. He holds it and passes it at the last moment to someone without a shot.

Then when Roy gets an open look, he bricks it.

Neat story, except that Roy actually has 2 assists, compared to one assist for the "point guard" with seven shots so far.

 

[craigehlo]

If they're proactive they can fix it asap. If they're reactive, we're in for another blah blah season.

Road #2 is almost a certainty with how Roy looks and lack of improvement on the offensive side of things.

Wrong. Miller has two. Nice try.

you mean the "point guard" who is A: the only one who is doing shit and B: is 7th in the league in assists?

that "point guard"?

 

[barfo]

Allen signed him at a silly #.

Allen pays The Choad to, among other things, keep Allen from appearing to be stupid.

Blazers signed Matthews July 10th. Hired Cho July 21st.

Yes, Roys two assists are when he passed to Miller and MILLER MADE THE SHOTS. Meanwhile, the two times Miller set up Roy for open looks, ROY MISSED THE SHOTS. Do the math.

YAY! Two assists for the PG. Miller sucks balls tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

OMG, Brandon might actually score.

 

[alex42083]

Roy in the score book.

Miller has set up our best scorer two times in the first half for outside shots? Fucking AWESOME!

 

[KingSpeed]

BGrantFan wants the guy who is 0-4 to shoot more while terribly upset with the guy who has 13 on 7 shot attempts. Get the fuck out of here.

 

[Ed O]

I don't think it's reasonable for everyone to question the talent or capabilities of a player or the team based on less than one half of basketball.

The Lakers are really good, and Portland is playing like crap. It doesn't mean that the team needs to be disassembled or that Miller is no longer a PG or that Roy is washed up.

[KingSpeed]

Roy just clanked another open shot off a Miller pass.

 

[alex42083]

Why is Aldridge camped out at the 3-point line in the corner?

 

[illmatic99]

Lasoftie shooting threes while letting Gasol nearly get a triple double in the first half.

God, we suck.

 

[RoyToy]

There's really no point in playing the starters big minutes in this game.

 

[KingSpeed]

YAY! Two assists for the PG. Miller sucks balls tonight.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Miller would have 6 assists if Roy was hitting the open shots he has gotten for Roy.

Don't get in the way of all the crazies making themselves look like idiots for over-reacting and doing whatever it takes to try and prove how terrible some of the best players on the team are.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Everyone on this team is terrible at rebounding.

 

[craigehlo]

Just adding Greg and Joel isn't going to fix the issues in this "offense." It will cover some of the warts, but it will still be terrible against solid opposing defenses.

What's reasonable got to do with it?

Have to agree here... Andre would have the assists if the guys were making shots. But ... they aren't.

Fisher and Blake have both outplayed Miller tonight. Get the fuck out of here.

 

[MARIS61]

Or maybe the guys would be making their shots if Andre's passes weren't off.

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

Ugly first half. It's tempting to shut it off and watch Dexter instead.

 

[RoyToy]

You have GOT to be kidding me. Miller would have 6 assists if Roy was hitting the open shots he has gotten for Roy.

He's just trying to rile things up don't fall for it.

I'm not kidding you. Miller is a fucking sieve on defense, and he isn't getting our best player the ball in his scoring zone. This is 2nd half of OKC 'Dre.

 

[B-Roy]

I have to agree with this.

It WILL improve the pathetic rebounding though. Geez.

It's not on a half, nor is it on just this season. It's an odd fix from the get-go. Some of it is (I think) Roy's unwillingness to play with Andre, and some of it is the easily defend-able offense.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Fisher and Blake have both outplayed Miller tonight. Get the fuck out of here.

Roy is getting bent over. Say goodbye to your messiah fan boy.
