Celtics @ Blazers Game Thread 1/27/11

[PapaG]

Dante and Mills outplayed the Celtic bench in their first stint. That's a rarity.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I need an update of Batum. Hope he is oK

 

[B-Roy]

No free throws...my ass.

 

[B-Roy]

These fucking refs...

 

[julius]

Great...batum is questionable to return.

 

[Klinky]

I think a unicorn is flying around in the Rose Garden because Nate just got a T!

 

[PapaG]

A Babbit sighting ... and Miller turns it over again.

 

[mrkorb]

I think that means that Portland has the 4th best ratings in their own markets, not that they're the 4th most watched team. As I understood the link, I mean.

Regardless, it shows that lots of people are watching the Blazers, and seeing as how a TNT broadcast prevents any other local broadcast of the game, there's a large number of Portland people watching this game, likely moreso than Boston people, which probably has a lot to do with timezones as well. TV Ratings aside, this blatent pussylicking by TNT is ridiculous.

 

[PapaG]

MIller ISO for two.

 

[julius]

They should just send Luke to accidentally poke Pierce in the heart.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Wow.... these refs are.....

 

[PapaG]

Pass the fucking rock, Wesley.

 

[B-Roy]

We have 2 FTs

They have 14...

 

[ehizzy3]

lmfao @ lukes hands. oh boy

 

[PapaG]

We have 2 FTs

They have 14...

Miller, and more so Matthews, are throwing up outside shots whenever they get the ball.

Matthews is playing like crap right now.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

As bad as the Blazers are playing, as many FTs as Boston has taken, and how hard the refs and the announcers are swalling the Celtic Choad....

The Blazers are only down by 4 at halftime.

Nate better light a fire under those kids' asses.

Was Batum sitting on the bench . . . I didn't see him.

I did see Roy on the bench laughing while the Blazers are losing . . . he must not care about winning.

 

[PapaG]

LMA 9 points/11 rebounds while being smothered by Boston.

Matthews and MIller need to step up in the second half, especially since Batum is hurt. Or , see what Mills can do with Miller on the court with him.

Really? To me it looks like they have the fire. They are playing sloppy, but playing with energy, IMO.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Anyone listening to radio . . . what's up with Batum?

 

[crowTrobot]

mills +8 miller -12

Boston is playing good defense. We need to spread the court and space better.

 

[crowTrobot]

LMA doing a little Love-like rebound tipping stat padding.

 

[julius]

knee injury, doubtful to return

 

[The_Lillard_King]

That is the most Blazer analysis I have seen on national TV in along time.

Against the Clip and some other team, they didn't even mention the Blazers. The Clippper game pissed me off the most with LA dominating on Griffin.

lol at Nate being a free agent coach this summer . . . I see other teams chat boards already.

I put it at 50/50 that Nate coaches the Lakers next year. Kobe respects him from their experience on Team USA, and that may be all that matters.

Charles Barkley not being in the halftime studio.... coincidence?

I doubt he would. An over the hill Kobe, over the hill Odom, and oft injured center. Why take over a team descending?

According to the rumor mill, because Dwight Howard is heading for the Lakers after his contract ends.
