[LuckyShot]

I have the New York feed. Frazier is so fucking annoying.

 

[DDolla]

Melo playing defense?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Melo with a little extra tonight!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Great start - let's hope we can maintain it here in the second.

uhhh wut! This is bar none the best announcing crew in the NBA. Not to mention the elite broadcast production quality

 

[B-Roy]

Knicks are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. Perfect matchup.

 

[James lamphear]

Not bad quarter but when the sub came in things change with Trent and Melo missing 2 shots each.

 

[LuckyShot]

Melo plays that crafty old man defense.

 

[BonesJones]

Yay for Stotts trying something else defensively.

 

[KingSpeed]

I have the New York feed. Frazier is so fucking annoying.

Huh? Frazier is the best in the business!

 

[Tince]

Not bad quarter but when the sub came in things change with Trent and Melo missing 2 shots each.

I'd say it was a little better than "not bad'.

 

[DUB]

A 37 point 1st quarter against the best defence in the NBA is a great start.

 

[illmatic99]

Yay for Stotts trying something else defensively.

haven't seen this much zone... ever. even the offense has new wrinkles. Jones P&R as the roll man?

 

[DDolla]

Here comes Simons...crossing my fingers

 

[BonesJones]

Knicks are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. Perfect matchup.

You mean to say it works when you gameplan for your opponent and run a defensive scheme to take away their strengths and plays to their weaknesses? Who woulda thought!

 

[B-Roy]

haven't seen this much zone... ever

Knicks can’t shoot. Can’t be punished.

 

[THE HCP]

What's with Fred Meyer and Pacific Automation on the court?

Virtual signage.....Welcome to the new NBA.

 

[LuckyShot]

Knicks can’t shoot. Can’t be punished.

If that means Stotts intentionally employed a defensive gameplan tailored to his opponent, then it's a win.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Virtual signage.....Welcome to the new NBA.

Toronto has been doing it for years no?

 

[Tince]

A 37 point 1st quarter against the best defence in the NBA is a great start.

They give up the fewest points... not to be confused with the best defense.

 

[DUB]

Great take Hoody!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Yo, Rodney, appreciate you sacrificing the body......but we can't really be losing players at this point.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I like that Neil has confidence in his guys..but Ant does not look like a back up point guard

 

[James lamphear]

Good timeout but this unit they are playing alright they have increased the lead that something there supposed to do.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

If Melo could just remember sometimes..that he's NBA old

 

[KingSpeed]

What was that pull up 3 like there was 1 sec on clock by Melo?

 

[Tince]

Knicks fans seem to really hate Payton... and Thibodeau for play him.

 

[DUB]

They give up the fewest points... not to be confused with the best defense.

We’re all very experienced with that. Non-Portland people often made the mistake of thinking we had a great defence under N8, when in reality we just played extremely slowly.

 

[Tince]

What was that pull up 3 like there was 1 sec on clock by Melo?

Melo was having flashbacks seeing those Knicks uniforms.

 

[riverman]

I hope we just blow this wide open
