Blazers vs. Pacers Game Thread

[blazerboy30]

Maybe I'm just seeing this through homer goggles, but Greg is looking pretty relaxed and "good" out there so far ... really smart on defense, not picking up chippy stupid fouls (yet?) -- much better than I would have expected.

I think we're seeing the difference between:

1) A rookie trying to come back from an injury AND just learning the basics of playing in the NBA (beginning of the season)

and

2) A rookie trying to come back from an injury (this game)

Obviously Oden still has a TON to learn, but you can tell he didn't lose what he had learned just because he was injured.

thanks, maris!

Granger carrying the Pacers. We have to be careful.

Its 1 on 5. Indiana is sorry.

 

[VenomXL]

WTF was that shit?

 

[Tortimer]

How is that not a foul on Bayless. Fucking refs!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

The Elbows of Foster strikes again! this time on the TROUT.

 

[MARIS61]

Bayless is just embarrassing now.

How much rope does Nate give him?

Enough to hang the whole team, or just himself?

 

[VenomXL]

Yawn.

I really hope the blazers run the score up. i remember Indy doing that a long time ago.

Yep.

2/25/1998 POR at Chicago Bulls 106 - 101
2/27/1998 POR at Indiana Pacers 59 - 124

Blazers came off of beating the Jordan Bulls in Chicago and Indiana destroyed them.

Its the pacers trivia question! haha

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Indiana on a 12-5 run....quick get Oden and Bayless back out there STAT!

 

[andalusian]

Nice to see Rudy going to the rim

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

only a 10 point game.....

 

[VenomXL]

Need more easy buckets.

 

[MARIS61]

what are you even talking about?

Keeps his record-breaking game streak of getting swatted going and then spends an entire possession jawing at the ref like that's gonna help while his teammates try to play 4 on 5.

Anyone but teacher's pet gets yanked for that.

 

[VenomXL]

Joel is good at drawing those charges.

 

[VenomXL]

Ugh.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Jack dribbles it off his foot...

 

[theprunetang]

Jack with the ball off of his foot. Bringing back memories..........

 

[Nate4Prez]

haha, dribbled it off his foot.

 

[Tortimer]

That's the Jack we know and love.

 

[VenomXL]

Good D, better shot by Jack.

 

[Nate4Prez]

we are only winning this game cause of 5-5 for three in the first quarter. we are not even shooting the ball well from the field.

 

[number 10]

Have we just seen a first-half trifecta from Jack? The jump pass turnover, stepping out of bounds, and dribbling it off his foot. Some things never change...

Fuck if that doesn't have jinx written all over it.

 

[MARIS61]

Well, you're half right.

 

[B-Roy]

Well, you're half right.

Which half?

I know you hate Jack and Bayless, so I can't tell....

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Good jesus. Watching Gary Payton, Chris Webber, and Ahmad Rashad whooping and hollering and acting all ghettofied is making Barack Obama and Bill Cosby shake their heads somewhere.

 

[Pinwheel1]

That was a horrible end to the half. i see this game going down to the wire. You figure TJ Ford will heat up. We really needed to keep this up around 20 once we got it there.
