Batum knee injury.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. Batum out.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Batum knee injury.

Unreal.

 

[PapaG]

Miller just dribbled for 15 seconds of that possession, then hits a shot at the buzzer.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

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

Beacuse they are the Lakers. Gasol, Kobe Bynum, players wanting to play in LA, owner willing to spend cash . . . unless he gets the Heat job, the Lakers are the next best choice for Nate to win a championship. Then there is always Dallas . . .

 

[PapaG]

Hit the shot, Wesley.

 

[MARIS61]

Rudy punked Pierce good.

Nate will land in a sweet job. I have no doubt about it.

Then, when the next Blazer coach struggles, it will be Nate's fault for not improving the players he had.

 

[PapaG]

That was a clean screen by Przy.

 

[BigVolcano]

I love Pryz standing up to the Celtics

 

[B-Roy]

God I hate Kevin Harlan.

 

[PapaG]

I love Pryz standing up to the Celtics

He's a bad ass.

 

[PapaG]

Now Miller is shooting ISO fadeaways.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Matthews was mugged!

 

[MARIS61]

Aldridge and Joel are banging into everything green out there. Boston's trainer better order extra ice.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

The problem with playing teams known as "defensive" is that they get to flop and foul the hell out of you w/o the call.

 

[BigVolcano]

This is the first time I have watched Portland in a while and its surprisingly fun to watch. Especially Miller and LMA. Wes Matthews has been underwhelming tho (sorry fantasy roster)

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I'll tell you what . . . Orlando lacks toughness and could really use Joel and that attitude to battle Boston in the playoffs.

And that organization is doing everything now to keep Dwight coninvced they are competitive. How much would they pay to rent Joel to bang like that in the playoffs.

How much indeed.

 

[MARIS61]

We have 10 steals, 10 assists, and 9 TO's.

 

[KingSpeed]

With Batum out and Matthews not hitting, we don't have the offense to win this game. Rudy and Andre must step up.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Good aggressive play. I love it.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Man I'm tripping on Batum . . . so vague with the knee thing. It didn't look bad right? Updates on radio?

 

[PapaG]

Yes. So much YES. Rondo is like a soccer player. I expect to see three guys run out with a tiny stretcher and run him off of the court.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Where the fuck is Patty Mills. Blazers were kicking ass with him in in the 2nd quarter, and he's dissappeared since then, and Andre is playing like shit. Nice job, Nate!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Miller always knows when we need a basket . . .

 

[The_Lillard_King]

But even if he knows . . . sometimes he doesn't get it.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm pretty sure they said they were considering microfracture.

 

[PapaG]

Is Matthews even playing tonight?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I'm pretty sure they said they were considering microfracture.

funny . . .
