Game 1: Suns vs Blazers

[The Sebastian Express]

Also we'll need someone other than Marcus to hit the boards.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rudy sucks. Jeez. He wants more minutes but does absolutely nothing with him. All he does is spot up for threes but he's not a good three point shooter. Ugh. Prove me wrong, Rudy. Prove me wrong.

Refs are completely swallowing their whistles. Blazers are gonna have to brawl to win this game.

Yeah -- no kidding.

I also like the way that the offense has been flowing for the Blazers in the 1st quarter.

I t seems like it has been well officiated to me.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I dunno if Jerryd was set for that one.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

LABOMBA.

 

[Luther]

Aldridge shouldn't have helped off Charmin. Rudy was leading JRich right to Camby.

Camby wasn't near the hoop...It would have been a foul on Rudy or a layup....don't try to excuse bad defense.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Damn Rudy

 

[KingSpeed]

We would be so good if Rudy didn't suck.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I guess they told themselves they had to hit the boards besides Marcus too.

This sentence was awful.

 

[EGame]

Rudy sucks.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Come on Rudy!

"You've got to make your threethrows!"

 

[Sedatedfork]

Bayless hasn't totally sucked tonight, so that's good.

 

[KingSpeed]

Refs checking replay. Rudy actually made that shot.

Quote from my non-fan wife: "Why are the announcers ragging on the Blazers when they've led the entire game?"

 

[Rusty]

Oy vey

 

[TP3]

the blazers continue to give up more dunks, lay-ups, and uncontested shots than any decent basketball team i've ever seen

 

[KingSpeed]

Fuck this bullshit.

 

[illmatic99]

Juwan Marty completely lost their men on D. WOW. Get your heads in the game, damnit.

 

[BGrantFan]

PHX bench 18

PDX bench 4

Fuck.

 

[B-Roy]

The bench sucks.

 

[illmatic99]

Where is Nic?

 

[KingSpeed]

We'd be fine if Rudy was any good. He probably won't play much more tonight if Bayless shows he can do anything on offense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Where is Nic?

good fucking question

 

[KingSpeed]

We can't blame Roy's absence for not playing D.

My father passed peacefully recently and I can turn my attention back from family to my other love. Blazers basketball! Hi guys. Not sure how much I will be around as I have a ton of things to still take care of estate wise. Just wanted to check in and say gooooooooooooo BLAZERS!!!!

Sorry to hear about this. I lost both my parents in the last few years and it can be challenging. Also, estate stuff always takes way longer than you'd expect...just hang in. Hope the Blazers give you something to be happy about tonight!

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Nate probably shouldn't have left this specific lineup in.

 

[Ed O]

The bench sucks.

They're not really doing anything wrong... Aldridge has stalled during this run and Rudy missed four wide open three pointers. That's not the bench's fault.

Ed O.

 

[illmatic99]

Nate has way too much trust in this bench.
