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

No, I'm not. Both Fisher and Blake are playing better than Miller on the court. Sorry if I don't subscribe to the conventional wisdom. Miller is dominating he ball tonight; Blazers lose again. Pass the fucking ball, 'Dre.
 
Seriously, did Nate do anything to prepare the team for this game?
 
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.

Have to agree. I've seen enough of Nate's coaching during his tenure to know we are just an "also ran" in the West and not a serious threat. If we are sticking with him, we need better 1-on-1 scorers.
 
I think it's reasonable for everyone to question the talent or capabilities of a player or the team based on one half of basketball.

The Lakers aren't all that good, but Portland is crap. The team needs to be disassembled, Miller is no longer a PG, and Roy is washed up.

This is fucking ridiculous.
 
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.

Fisher is 3 of 7. They have 2 assists combined. Miller has set up Roy for 5 open shots. If Roy makes those, Miller has 7 assists. Meanwhile, he has managed to score 13 points for us on 8 shots, 50% from the field, 100% from the free throw line. If you are serious, then you have officially proven to me that you do not understand the game. If you tell me that you understand what Im saying, then you will hav emu respect back. Otherwise, it's ignore for you. Surprise me.

Fisher and Blake only have two assists combined. They combined for one more shot from the field in the same number of minutes.

It seems like you're being pretty inconsistent here.

If you ask Kobe Bryant, "we" have one of the best in the league in Brandon Roy. Except people on this board, and in this ignorant city, want him to play off of the ball for some reason. I hope Roy does get traded, just so I can stop reading these morons who bitch about him and his game.
 
Wait, so Roy is being bent over AND he's washed up and Blake and Fisher are "out playing" Miller?

Can someone remind me why I read this message board during games (esp crappy games)?

It's bad enough when I say stuff, I know i'm mostly kidding, but I can never tell if you guys are serious about some of the crazier bat shit things you say.
 
Oh if Camby and LMA hit the bunnies at the rim that Miller gave them, he'd have 10 assists.

Miller -14
Blake +12
Fisher +11

Learn the game, then post. Now, ignore me...

Fisher/Blake are +25

Miller is -14

Find a new target. Let's get our PG to start passing the fucking ball instead of shooting it more than anyone else on the court.

ummm, read Nik's thread. Roy has CHOSEN to play off the ball and to only launch jumpers instead of taking it to the hole. Roy has come forward and said he is not going to be as aggressive. and Kobe was referring to old Roy. Roy said he can't play like that anymore. HIS WORDS. Catch up.

Do you understand the difference between causation and correlation?

You criticized Miller with some specific stats and criticisms, and now you seem to be hiding from the fact that the two guys you were lauding had very similar stats.

Miller "not passing the ball" is not the reason Portland has one offensive rebound and Gasol has a near-triple double in the first half.

So that means Armon is outplaying Andre? He is only -6?

is there any chance we could have a moratorium on the shit stirring shtick that goes on here?
 
Questioning Roy's leadership here.

A star would not let his team look this bad while coasting himself.

A new target for what?

Our team just isn't gelling right now and the L*kers are really playing focused basketball. No big deal. We'll figure it out, perhaps not tonight, but later in the year.

Roy is accepting his role. God knows if he means it. Meanwhile, Andre Miller as the leading scorer isn't going to win a fucking game most nights, let alone a playoff series.

Now, ignore me. I'm calling your bluff, since I don't think you know shit about hoops.

I'm pretty sure Ehlo, KS, and BGF are all being serious and think they're being reasonable.

You'd like to think people that are calling this team horrible are kidding. Or at least have serious memory loss, because we've sat through some horrible seasons recently.

Miller HAS passed the ball and his fell starters are 6 of 23 from the field. He's only taken 8 and has made half of them. You are dead wrong.

I brought this point up against OKC.

Team was struggling on offense and Roy kept on deferring, deferring, deferring. At this point anytime a defender gets in Roy's face he folds and passes it right away.
