blazers vs zbo game thread

[The Sebastian Express]

Everybody realizes the reason we are making a run was Oden except his team. Throw him the fucking ball when he is in the game.

Points in the paint are overrated! Who wins with that bullshit!

This game reminds me of this one...

http://news.google.com/newspapers?n...9wRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KOsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6119,6692107

That was the only time in history that a team scored twice as many points as its opponent. Indiana beat us 125-59. 14 days before that 2/28/98 game, we got Damon Stoudamire. His Toronto head coach Darrell Walker resigned that day in protest.

3 days before the game, we beat Michael Jordan, IN Chicago. It was Chicago's 7th loss in their last 118 home games (that's almost 3 seasons). Stoudamire, Rider, and Sheed were the hot shooters. It was considered a great, great win. Sabonis said, "It's important for me, for my kids to know in the years to come we beat them."

Looking around...Here's 1/23/01...

"Andre Miller scored 18 points, Jim Jackson 15 and the Cavaliers rolled to a stunning 84-58 victory over the Trail Blazers, who scored only nine points in the second quarter, 24 in the first half and made only 28% of their shots. Shawn Kemp made his first appearance in Gund Arena since being traded to Portland last August as part of a three-team deal that sent Brian Grant from the Trail Blazers to the Miami Heat. Kemp's return seemed to have everyone on edge, and tempers flared in the third quarter near the Trail Blazers' bench as two fans got into it with some Portland players and coaches."

Okay, I could spend many hours perusing archives. Gotta stop.

BROY has 19/8/6...

meh.

 

[julius]

Don't look now but BROY has 19/8/6

don't look now, but Memphis has more points than Portland still.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Blake has played like shit, and has the best +/- on the team.


Someone explain to me why that is a valid stat?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Let Blake play Put Andre in and let him push the pace..............

 

[BenDavis503]

I really like what Martell is bringing to the team lately. He is likea good version of Ruben Patterson.

Is that the game where Sheed hit the 3 to win?

 

[FeloniusThunk]

Blazers finally started boarding, too. At halftime (among the many indexes of misery), they actually had fewer defensive rebounds than Memphis had offensive.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

KP on Blake "let him work out the kinks"

 

[jlprk]

Is that the game where Sheed hit the 3 to win?

I don't know, but I know we blew a 15 point lead in the 4th quarter, but still won.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Marc Gasol looks a lot quicker and coordinated than I remember him.

 

[Rodolfo]

gotta get a stop here...

 

[mgb]

Alright, get it down to 14!!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Time to wash the sheets, change our pants, and forget about 3 quarters of bed shitting.

 

[Rodolfo]

oh my...here we go. 14 pts is very doable.

 

[RoyToy]

I have a feeling McMillan may stick with the subs too long to start the 4th.

 

[B-Roy]

I have a feeling Oden is coming in.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy crap, Martell is +0. Neutral!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Holy crap, Martell is +0. Neutral!

I this on good/evil or ordered/chaotic or both?

 

[FeloniusThunk]

That was a sweet setup by Andre to finish the quarter. The jumpers have stopped falling for Memphis, along (hopefully) with their confidence. 14 points against the team we expected, with the team we expected, should be doable. Go Blazers!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Holy crap, Martell is +0. Neutral!

As is Blake, explain that one

 

[Sinobas]

Blake and Roy are just a terrible combo defensively. If KP could pull off a Blake/Outlaw for Hinrich trade, he should go for it. Kirk would be Blake with much improved defense.

Now it's down to 14. One big run and we even it up and problem kill Memphis' confidence.

 

[mgb]

What bs!!

 

[RoyToy]

Blazers getting outworked on the glass tonight

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Greg not in this game and Joel getting scored on by Thabeet is LOL worthy.

 

[julius]

Holy crap, Martell is +0. Neutral!

Maybe that should be his new nickname.

 

[B-Roy]

Freaking Joel.

 

[RoyToy]

Roy needs to be handling the ball on every play.

 

[The Professional Fan]

This game an the GS game have literally caused me physical pain.
