Terrific win by the Blazers!! WOO HOO!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

HAPPY! HAPPY! JOY! JOY!

Just when I think Felton couldn't blow it any more ...








He goes and totally redeems himself.

 

[BlazerBeav5]

Great win! It's going to be a tough one tomorrow night.

Portland's 7-2 record is its best after nine games since starting 8-1 in 1999-2000.

Yes, but at least we'll have the crowd to act as an energizer. It's the back-to-backs on the road that will be our true tests this year...

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn. Orlando's gonna be well-rested. Our guys will be tired. I don't wanna see another Phoenix stinker

A back to back with both at home is almost unheard of. There shouldn't be too many excuses.

Late game execution leaves a lot to be desired. That is where we miss Dre and Brandon the most.

Yup. That's what I meant.

Mid-late game? Yeah... Late-late game? Totally pro.

 

[TripTango]

Felton and Feltoner!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'll admit Felton is kind of growing on me ... I should probably have a doctor look at that no?

 

[Sinobas]

Felton redeemed himself for those two horrible turnovers.

The refs spoiled my enjoyment of this game with their shitty ass calls. Blake Griffen charges into Wallace and falls down and the call a foul on Wallace??? What the bloody fuck?

The Clips can't contend with Vinny Del Negro. He's a strategic abomination. It's unbelievable. Maybe the worst game coach I have ever seen.

Can't figure out who's winning the West. Every contender has a seemingly deadly flaw. Or in LAC's case, a deadly one (unless they can VDN).

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I can't complain too much about the refs; we shot more FTs than them.

I can live with his poor shooting as long as he's controlling the tempo like this. He really open things up but has above average d.

Simmons is totally right though. He's a pretty awful game manager.

We got a shit ton of calls. The refs were completely garbage tonight, but I think we got more calls in our favor than them.

I wanted to really smack that team, but the refs make this win slightly less sweet for me. Lucky for us, it still puts us at 7-2, and them at 4-3.

 

[magnifier661]

Hey pdx fans, clippers announcers gave you guys props! Good job guys and gals!

 

[illmatic99]

Felton, Wes, Wallace, and Marcus all played HEAVY minutes tonight. Aldridge and Nic will have to carry the load tomorrow against Dwight.

Bullshit. It doesn't matter how many FTs each team shoots, it matters how many crappy calls go against you. You know, fouls where you don't touch someone and they go to the FT line, fouls where another player flails into you from behind out of control, falls down and gets a foul? Or how about the play where they stepped in bounds right in front of that refs stupid face, and the Blazer bench screamed to point it out, no call? Or how about the play early in the game where Billups was dribbling, was fouled on he floor and they gave him FTs. These Refs did a terrible job.

Besides, a lot of that FT advantage came from their deliberate fouls in the 4th.

Name some bad calls that went in our favor.

The Blazers would have blown the Clips out if it had been called right.

I dunno about u but I wanna see some ESAVAGE tomorrow night (when DHoward is on the bench of course).

CP#4 Camby charge, LA's no-call when he dropped his shoulder into Griffin come to mind initially. Can't think of them, but it definitely felt like we got some in our favor.

OH JESUS SO WRONG!

The "shoved in the back" loose ball foul that Batum got to benefit from.
