Blazers vs Suns game thread with *link*

[hasoos]

I like this starting line up

It's amazing how much of a difference it can make when it's not Roy and 4 scrubs vs the Utah Jazz 1st unit.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

The team is playing with . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . chemistry.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great line for Blake: 3 pts, 5 rebs, 7 assts, 0 turnovers, 1 blk <----- that's a PG

 

[hasoos]

Batum easily having his best game so far this year.

 

[Darkwebs]

Another block by Oden. That makes 3 total blocks. What a beast!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

3 alley-opp plays for the quarter . . . so far

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden 8/7/3

I like it.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow, our starters really stepped up their game tonight. I love it.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Alright, I'm ready for the season to start.

 

[KingSpeed]

3 alley-opp plays for the quarter . . . so far

the passes were thrown by...

 

[Darkwebs]

Too bad this game doesn't count.

 

[RoyToy]

The Suns are notorious for playing defense.

 

[RoyIsClutch07]

Oden is a shot blocking machine

 

[The_Lillard_King]

the passes were thrown by...

Blake, Batum and I forgot the last one

 

[KingSpeed]

Blake is earning the starting spot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blake, Batum and I forgot the last one

what? people besides Miller can throw alley-oop passes???

Isn't there some kind of "no bickering with a 15 point lead" rule on this board? If not, there should be. =D

 

[hasoos]

Everybody in the starting unit are currently +24 in the +/- column, Steve Blake is at +27.

I, personally, could care less who is winning or will win this game.

 

[RoyToy]

Blake plays good when Steve Nash is guarding him

 

[Mediocre Man]

Bayless in for Blake.....that's interesting.

You don't enjoy seeing the Blazers play well?

 

[B-Roy]

The frustrating thing about this unit is they don't try and get Oden involved.

 

[PapaG]

Well, the starting line-up is set at this point, as I hoped it would be with Oden over Przy and no other changes.

Commence the Nate bashing.

It's hard to care about a game that means absolutely nothing. But I am glad that they are developing confidence.

Oden has 7 shots and 6 FTs in 20 minutes. Huh?

 

[hasoos]

That is interesting. It is pre season....it couldn't possibly have real meaning.......!

Nothing like shutting your #1 pick franchise center out

 

[B-Roy]

Oden has 7 shots and 6 FTs in 20 minutes. Huh?

Almost all of them have come off his 5 offensive rebounds.

2 of 7 from the field. Let him rebound (get his own) and play defense.
