Cats vs Blazers Game Thread ....... Almost Done! 12/3/12

[BlazerCaravan]

Babbitt at Center?!

Well, he was guarding the 7'1" version of himself.

I noticed that. He did a great job on the doubles too. Feels like things are coming together a bit.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

MKG who??

Not his fault - he was +11.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA plays so much better when he's C.

*knock on wood*

But Babbitt was playing C.


PS I'm mostly kidding.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yes. Yes he is. LOL!

...at which Luke apparently fainted and fell out of the frame.

 

[BrianFromWA]

But Babbitt was playing C.

It's funny, b/c Rice was saying it was "LMA and 4 guards"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is he saying "get him the ball"?

Now I look at it, it looks more like "get him some balls"...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Now I look at it, it looks more like "get him some balls"...

He's got plenty now... had to wheel them off in a cart after tonight!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It's funny, b/c Rice was saying it was "LMA and 4 guards"

I thought he said four shooters... it was an Orlando lineup, but with a more accomplished shooter at center. Very nice!

 

[BrianFromWA]

at the beginning of the OT he said it twice, iirc.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

at the beginning of the OT he said it twice, iirc.

He must have meant surrounding Babbitt with four guards.

Seriously though: when he's on, Babbitt does present a big problem for teams because he can rebound *and* hit threes. He's an oddly-shaped Stretch 4.

 

[BrianFromWA]

So's Matt Bonner.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

31 points for the Blazer bench.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

So's Matt Bonner.

Let's not get too excited about Babbitt's ceiling, now.

 

[julius]

Man, Scott Lynn seems off his game in the post-game show.

 

[BBert]

Hickson in 12 minutes....1-5, 2 pts, 0 reb, 2 PF
Babbitt in 14 minutes....3-5, 3-4 3pt, 9 pts, 5 reb, 1 ast, 1blk, 1stl

Make LaMarcus play center. Play Luke at PF.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He's hyped up, but yeah even the best can get one word ahead of themselves sometimes.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Make LaMarcus play center. Play Luke at PF.

I've heard stupider ideas.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Make LaMarcus play center. Play Luke at PF.

I've been calling for Babbitt at the 4 since his rookie year. About time the rest of you caught up with me.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

what a game!

and lets not get too excited about babbitt, hes no yi

 

[BBert]

I've heard stupider ideas.

Why thank you. I think.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Great game!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Games like this make me think the Blazers are on the right path.

 

[Sinobas]

See, Terry Stotts listens to Sinobas, good things happen.....

 

[KingSpeed]

Let it be remembered that Stotts used Babbitt at the end of reg in Cleveland too.

This reminds me of 2007-08 when we were on fire (7 of the games in the 13 game win streak) and in crunch time we had LMA at C, Outlaw at PF, and James Jones at the 3

 

[THE HCP]

The HCP has started the last 2 threads and we won both times bitch ass crackers!!!!!!! I'm the Anti-KingSpeed! Rep away FAMS!

Everybody on the plane is in a good mood tonight!

I vote to ban HCP from starting game threads!
