Clipps @ Portland 2/16/12 - The Lob City vs Rip City Game Thread!

[EGame]

Oh well. This team won't make much noise with Crawford and Felton running things. I'd rather have Kurt Thomas at PG.

 

[PapaG]

Tough loss. Hopefully LMA is back on Saturday.

 

[VenomXL]

So, what do you think guys? Above or below .500 at the All-Star break?

 

[B-Roy]

Please come back healthy on Saturday LaMarcus.

We'll be better, but until we get better guard play, we're still a fringe lotto team.

 

[julius]

lack of in game adjustments are the bane of Nate's coaching career. I swear, that guy makes Maurice Cheeks like substitutions, and refuses to make more than minor in game adjustments.

 

[magnifier661]

Well the good thing is Nate will be fired this season if he plays iso crawchuck and failton turn overs

 

[PapaG]

Guard play, story of the season.

Sorry, we aren't doing anything until Felton/Matthews are gone.

I agree.

Who cares, this season is sucking the fun out of basketball.

 

[ehizzy3]

If Ray Felton is on the team at the end of the season i'll be surprised. then again, who wants him? lol

Only real fault (though major) was putting Felton back in. He realized his mistake pretty quickly though and yanked him.

who cares. as long as the coach is making the same mistakes, it won't matter.

 

[VenomXL]

Oh yeah, 2-10 in close games now.

Alright, I'm going to stop being miserable.

Take it easy guys.

 

[B-Roy]

I really can't name a PG playing 10+ minutes that I'd want less than Felton right now. It's that bad.

Note to Nate McMillan: Jamal Crawford is NOT BRANDON ROY!!! They may be best friends from Seattle, but when your offense consists of Crawford isos in the last 5 minutes you are not gonna win games. The icing on the cake was Nate calling a timeout only to draw up a Crawford iso...

 

[PapaG]

Felton is just so bad right now, though. Damn.

But it was an iso on the OTHER side of the court. These things require planning.

I'm not sure it's like that. Guys looked really tired at the end of games. Most of the plays had them trying an off screen or a pnr and then giving up when it failed. (As opposed to the beginning of the game, when guys would try something else) When the play fails you get a Crawchuck.

Yeah, Crawford wasn't that good, but I don't think he deserves that much blame for this loss. He did the best with what he was given. And hey, it beats Felton holding the ball.

 

[TripTango]

Yeah, Felton has pretty much crashed through the floor of my "bad PG" category. He's inventing a whole new position.

 

[B-Roy]

Felton is just so bad right now, though. Damn.

He's immune to the law of averages. Just keeps sucking....

 

[ehizzy3]

damn 4 straight losses in the rg

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Felton was +3 so he couldn't have been the problem.

 

[RoyToy]

Nic scored 4pts after the 1st Q

Ouch.....

 

[julius]

you know it's bad when I wish they had Damon Stoudamire running the point.

And not Damon during his low time as a Blazer, or the time after that. I mean Damon Stoudamire NOW.

 

[OneSport3]

Nic scored 4pts after the 1st Q

Ouch.....

Yeah well, when your offense consists of Jamal Crawford isos that will happen.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

How anyone can continue to think that Nate is not the #1 problem, I don't know.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Wow, Felton, donut for 7 from the field.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wow, Felton, donut for 7 from the field.

Wow, that all? It felt like 0-37.

LMAO that was pretty hilarious. It was like 5 Crawford iso's, then a timeout....so that Crawford can have another iso. LMAO.

 

[Sinobas]

The Blazer fans should boo raymond failton everytime he touches the ball, until Nate McMoron gets the point that we don't want to see his sorry ass on the floor again.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Wow, that all? It felt like 0-37.

You're probably thinking of the turnovers, not to be confused with the donut.
