The Bucks just did what the Blazers and Thunder could not. They won a Game 5 on the road. Impressive.
 
I wish I could have watched it ... sounds like they closed out the game on a 14-0 run.
 
Was a great game to watch. 6 minutes left the hawks were up by 10 and thought they had the game locked so they stopped playing agressive D. The bucks hit some huge shots coming off ridiculous plays and the hawks couldn't buy a shot or a trip to the free throw line.
 
The Bucks are showing that you can go really far with a young, dynamic PG.

It's Darrin Collison or bust for me this off season. The Blazer offense could really use a PG that isn't completely shut down by Old Man Hill.
 
The John Salmons trade was the biggest trade of the season.
 
I don't know what this has to do with the Blazers.

He was available on the trade market for a long time too. I'm sure the team's thinking was that we didn't need him because he would have taken shots away from Rudy.

Light that straw man on FIRE! Watch it burn!
 
Hey this awesome thread reminds me...

I watched a sporting event last week where a team did something the Blazers haven't done.

Really makes you wonder if Portland can ever do this thing this other team did.

They have a player whose good. Wonder why Portland doesn't have a player like this other player on this other team.

Amazing

So analyzing how other teams are finding success that eludes the Blazers isn't a worthwhile endeavor? This team doesn't follow the pattern of success at it's own peril.
 
I know. Doesn't the Orlando sweep of Charlotte get you totally depressed? That's what WE could have done.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to OddEnormous again.
 
Jamal Crawford was 0-5 the last 2:10 as the Hawks blew their lead. I felt bad for him, considering he had such a nice regular season. I wonder if Joe Johnson, Al Horford, or Josh Smith punched him in the mouth after the game for not passing them the ball while he was losing the lead for them.

Real men don't learn from others! Just stop that kind of wussy thinking!

Besides, if the Bucks win the series , it will just be dumb luck....and crooked refs.....and a favorable match-up......and....and.....
 
But the Blazers won game one and Milwaukee didn't!

If you are going to point out something Milwaukee did that Portland didn't, I'd suggest the fact the Milwaukee won both of their home games and now have a chance to close it out (at home).
 
/thread KS put this crap in the OT forum.
 
The one thing Milwaukee has that the Blazers don't have is a very good coach.
 
Let's face it, there are a lot of good players in the NBA and not all of them are going to end up in Portland.

Funny ... does anyone think that a healthy Roy, healthy Batum, healthy Oden, healthy Przybilla, healthy Camby (and very possibly healthy Fernandez - I still think it's likely Rudy's struggles may be due to lingering back/leg issues) might have made a difference for the Blazers? Or are you SO convinced KP sucks, McMillan sucks, all the players suck, that an Eastern team winning one game against another Eastern team - a team that may have a #3 seed but probably no chance of going to the finals - proves that the Blazers are really terrible, unlike the Bucks?

Skiles has them playing solid ball in the face of losing Bogut. They aren't making excuses just like the Jazz who lost AK-47 and Okur for the playoff run.

Injuries are no excuse for the poor team defense and continual issues with switching on screens and closing on 3-point shooters, which was even a problem before all the injuries. The buck (no pun intended) stops with Nate IMHO.

No I think it is. did you not read my post?

Yesterday the Padres won a baseball game. Why the fuck can't Portland win a game 2 in a playoff series.

Really makes you think about things....
 
So you're suggesting that the Hawks are anywhere near as good as the Suns and Lakers? :biglaugh: I think any team in the West could easily beat the 3-8 seeds from the East in a series.

You honestly don't think not having Oden and Przybilla, and Camby having a bum ankle and Batum a bum shoulder have a thing to do with hurting Blazers defense? I mean, if you were Nate, what would you do with your best defenders either gone or limited? Serious. Be very specific. What would you do if you were coach?

And do you think this Milwaukee team, or this Atlanta team, could take the Suns to 6 or 7 games? Or for that matter the Blazers?
