GAME THREAD: Blazers @ Hornets, 3/30/11 - Master vs Apprentice, Round 4

[EGame]

Lets continue to blame Miller for being down late when Aldridge does his disappearing act again.

This whole team is to blame tonight. Everyone would just rather shoot jumpers, something they know they blow at.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm amazed that Patty Mills only has 10 minutes tonight. 13 points on 5 shots, +14, and playing with confidence.

the only reason we ever led tonight was because of patty

 

[Darkwebs]

Clutch Roy!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Thank god Roy is in!

 

[Rhal]

Well that tip in was big for them.

 

[Darkwebs]

Again, we give up an offensive board. That hurt!
What an alley oop by Dre to LMA!!

 

[VenomXL]

Fuck.

 

[Rhal]

I'd like them to miss, but they dont' seem capable of doing it.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hey how about a good quick defender who has long arms to stop the driving guards? Do we have one of those guys on the bench right now? Did Nate find put his wife is having an affair with Nic or something?

 

[MickZagger]

The Blazers formula for winning is pretty simple. If we can get good production out of the role players (Matthews, Batum, Rudy, Roy) atleast 2 of them. We win.

Ugh... terrible

 

[Darkwebs]

CP3 lays it in, our chances to come back has diminished to nearly zilch.

 

[PapaG]

Lets continue to blame Miller for being down late when Aldridge does his disappearing act again.

Aldridge has 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 2 assists, and the starting PG has 4 assists.

BTW, your mancrush KLove will likely get his usual double-double in another garbage-time loss. He is one rebound short, and down 13 with 53 seconds left! The anticipation is exciting!

 

[VenomXL]

We are done. Can't get a stop.

 

[EGame]

Pathetic defense is pathetic. Thunder/Mavs/Lakers/Spurs are all praying they get us over anyone else.

 

[KingSpeed]

Both times we fell apart were right after we yanked Patty. We should be losing by 20 but Patty kept us in it. This sucks. We're a good team but we're not going anywhere in the postseason.

 

[Rhal]

We can still pull this out with some big plays, we have to get a stop though.

 

[B-Roy]

Hey how about a good quick defender who has long arms to stop the driving guards? Do we have one of those guys on the bench right now?

Paul is 4/15 in 44 minutes. Nic has played 19 minutes.

I think the team has done pretty well on Paul tonight...Nic or no Nic...

 

[illmatic99]

I feel like punching Jack in the face. Hated him as a Blazer. Hate him even more now.

 

[Rodolfo]

LMA with 4 pts in the half....

 

[MickZagger]

Aldridge has 22/15 on 10/17, and he's the one person you single out to blame. LOL

Single out? I'm happy with what he's done for 3 quarters. Thats awesome. Unfortunately there's 4 quarters to a basketball game.

 

[Rodolfo]

Both times we fell apart were right after we yanked Patty. We should be losing by 20 but Patty kept us in it. This sucks. We're a good team but we're not going anywhere in the postseason.

Yet if we were winning right now, WCF, FTW!

 

[Rhal]

Oakafor gone is big, we just gotta attack the basket now.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batum in... For defense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great to see a 13 page game thread for a change

 

[B-Roy]

Single out? I'm happy with what he's done for 3 quarters. Thats awesome. Unfortunately there's 4 quarters to a basketball game.

But why him? Why not 0/7 Batum? 2/6 Roy? 3/8 Rudy? 2/6 Wesley?

Why pick on the player who's doing the best out there?

 

[Rodolfo]

No more buckets for NO to have a shot at getting even.

 

[MickZagger]

Aldridge has 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 2 assists, and the starting PG has 4 assists.

There's 2 halves in a game, 4 quarters, bud.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Good stop by Wes.

 

[Rhal]

Well thats one way to get a stop. Lets convert on this!
