Blazers vs. Minnesota Game Thread

What the fuck does that have to do with anything I posted Eric?

Nothing. Just letting you know. You wanted the ball to go to Oden but you hate Blake. Just wanted to point out that Blake did what you wanted and completely dominated this game. Unfortunately, so many of the Blake haters watched football instead.

Blake has had a nice game against a very bad team. Ok.

 

[BBert]

Since I don't have comcast OR A FUCKING LINK can someone tell me about Webster's second career quarter?

 

[KingSpeed]

Unless Blake gets hurt, Miller won't start again this season.

Blake played great tonight. I wonder what he will do against a good team?

It was all Blake. Creating for everyone, including Webster.

 

[crowTrobot]

Whoa. First career double double for Webster.

which one?

blake can dominate a rookie on the worst team in the league. yahoo.

Well tonight was the first time all season long that he was given the ball and actually asked to BE a point guard. Not a guy who just gives the ball to Roy or a guy who shares the court with Miller. He was asked to be a PG and he delivered. We should stick with him the rest of the season.

It has nothing to do with who was guarding him. He was repeatedly getting the ball to Oden. He was finding the hot man. He was orchestrating the offense. He would've done that no matter who was guarding him. It's not like he suddenly can't get the ball to Oden because Deron Williams is guarding him.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Coming from me, someone who sometimes gets frustrated with what's taking place with the team and lets out a pants-shitting post.... I still don't understand how someone can come post in every single game day thread and cry about people's feelings of Blake. I've never seen someone more on anyone else's jock. Every single game.

Oh, and SHAZAM MARTELL!

 

[KingSpeed]

We must trade Miller. There's no place for him on this team.

 

[drexlersdad]

webster is a fucking beast! the chalupa putback jam? are you kidding me?

How do we know Blake hasn't been asked every night to be PG? How do we know that this isn't just an aberration and Blake is able to take control against weak Minny?

racist! : )

 

[KingSpeed]

Martell is terrible no if ands or buts about it

But....

We know that from watching the games. At least I do. He ran the offense. He wasn't just camping out in the corner, having Miller or Roy run it.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Wow. I had to go and check how many people I had on ignore. There are a ton of posts from a single poster. It looked like one poster was having a conversation by himself, but posting it through a message board.

 

[drexlersdad]

haha we just got a shout out! he said "even the chat rooms will love webster tonight"

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Um, so you'll watch a lot of replays of this game and then you'll feel like Blake does this every night? Cuz while Blake has looked pretty good tonight, he sure doesn't look like this every night.

 

[andalusian]

Nate noticed exactly what I said earlier. Miller and Roy did not play together one minute in the 2nd half. We had a great half-court unit and a great fast break unit.

Small sample size or not, it seems like my suspicions were noticed by the coaching staff as well, at least in this game. This team, using it's current half-court philosophy - works better with Roy having the court spacing good with 2 wing shooters - and Miller really thrives as the leading PG of a fast-pace unit.

BLAZINGGIANTS ignores the truth.

Because he wasn't given the ball and asked to be a PG. Tonight, he was.

 

[Kaydow]

If only the Blazers played Minny 82 times - Martell would be an all Star. We know he's not going to do this every night, but he doesn't need to. If he could just give the team half of what he's doing tonight on a regular basis it would be huge.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

What foul rule is Nate using tonight that is keeping Oden on the bench for almost the entire 2nd half?

Johnny Flynn is going to be a good player in this league. He dominates the ball a bit much, but that's to be expected considering the scrubs Minne has.

 

[KingSpeed]

Another rout of Minnesota. We were a mess at the top of the half and Blake led us to the victory.

 

[KingSpeed]

<=======Webster is a class act.

 

[drexlersdad]

blazers centers went for 30/16/5

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Because he wasn't given the ball and asked to be a PG. Tonight, he was.

Uh, I think you ignore the truth. Few GM's or coaches believe Blake is a starting PG. I like Blake, I really do, but as a backup. Nearly every poster on this board believes Blake should be a backup. KP believes it, or he wouldn't have signed Miller. McMillan must believe it, or he wouldn't have pushed for Miller.

And again, I ask, how do you know he hadn't been asked to be a PG before? He was a lot of last year. Some games he looks good, some he doesn't. Tonight he looked good.
