BUCKS @ BLAZERS 01.19.13 - 7:00 PM - KGW - GAME THREAD

[Sinobas]

This season is so similar to last year, start our looking better then expected, then go into a free fall after losing a close game at home to Oklahoma City.

The fact that the Blazers are playing Nolan Smith also has me wondering if they are trying to lose on purpose. Nolan Smith is one of the worst NBA players I've ever seen in my life.

Nolan Smith has 3 turnovers in 2:37. This man will be unemployed this time next year.

How about by this time week.

 

[illmatic99]

Hmm that's actually a good comparison for Dame. Starbury was a very good player.

And -17

Not a winner though. Every team that traded him got better after he left.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If Barton wants a career in the NBA he needs to start by making free throws.

 

[illmatic99]

Bucks gambling on ever chance. They look like GS of old.

 

[julius]

Benu Udrih (sp) looks like an ugly version of John Paxson.

Upsetting we are down by 13. Wtf?!

We didn't start out this season well. Last season, we were 7-2. This year, we were 2-5 and 8-12. Bad start. Turned it around midseason. Lost a couple difficult games here but we're fine. We'll win tonight.

Wow Lillard shoots and it's like magic! He should try it more often.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I absolutely love Damian Lillard but it's really really sad when playing your rookie point guard the whole game sounds like a good idea.

 

[illmatic99]

True. Plus he was kind of an idiot. Loved watching him play, though. Really talented player.

 

[KingSpeed]

He won in Minnesota and in Phoenix, he hit a game winner in SA in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Y'all want Lillard to shoot but if he shot all the time, you'd be yelling that he's not a good PG

you are aware that similar does not mean EXACTLY THE SAME, right?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

That was DEEP!

 

[illmatic99]

Whoa. heat checks

 

[MadeFromDust]

Lillard taking over. That's what I'm talking about kid.

 

[illmatic99]

Good pass by Nic there. Feed the hot hand

 

[KingSpeed]

Not similar at all. Started this season badly. Started last season great.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ummmm.... No

 

[KingSpeed]

If it was similar, we would've started this season well like you claimed but we didn't.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Babbitt is NOT proving to be a good shooter.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame can get to the rim at will. Just needs to find the seams for passers. Sanders is the best shot blocker in the league.

 

[MadeFromDust]

I think we'll win this game but we really need to start out better. It must take up so much energy trying to fight back the whole time.

 

[KingSpeed]

Babbitt is NOT proving to be a good shooter.

He's just in a slump. Even Ray Allen has gone into major slumps in the playoffs, no less.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ouch! Lillard's ankle!

 

[Boise Blazer]

Babbitt is NOT proving to be a good shooter.

I swear it he could consistently make the 3 like he supposedly does in practices then Lillard could have another 3 assists a game

 

[illmatic99]

Oh god, Dame to the bench. Here comes trouble.
