GAME THREAD: Blazers @ Jazz 4.7.11 - 7:30 PM, TNT

[Rhal]

Harris has made some serious CIRCUS shots tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Harris with the prayer. Are u kidding me??

 

[illmatic99]

How many times has Nic rushed in to dunk in a fast break tonight?

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy! Nice charge drawn

 

[Rhal]

When LMA isn't pulled way out of the paint for the zone defense he has looked to grab the rebound with a vengance this year.

 

[Darkwebs]

Ice cold, both teams to start the 4th.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy to LMA for the jumper!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Crash is so fun.

 

[Rhal]

Wallace with the +1

 

[Darkwebs]

and-one on the break by Crash. Terrific dime by Dre

 

[Rhal]

Get LMA/Wallace out of there now.

 

[OneSport3]

What is going on with Brandon Roy's handles? He just can't seem to keep control of his dribble. He's always losing the ball or getting stripped.

 

[illmatic99]

Why the hell would there be a step there?

I remember seeing the old New Orleans Jazz arena, where the floor was a good foot ABOVE the floor for the seats. I think there's a college court that has a similar set-up.

WTF?

Same situation in Cleveland. Apparently, there was a mistake by an architect initially, but they just live with it.

 

[Rhal]

Man I love Crash's hustle.

 

[julius]

I get that they want to milk the clock, but that was a wasted offensive sequence after Gerald Wallace hustled for the board.

 

[Rhal]

Wallace does NOT want to shoot those threes, but he can't help himself when he is that open.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crash cashes in the 3 ball

 

[The Professional Fan]

I can't believe Crash is a Blazer. Still sinking in.

 

[EGame]

Shooting jumpers is what we do.

 

[Darkwebs]

Too bad we couldn't blow this team out so that our guys can get rest for tomorrow's game. Oh well, the Rose Garden crowd will have to provide some of the energy!

 

[RoyToy]

Hopefully the Lakers are still in "we're not sitting players but we're not trying the hard either" mode.

That said, Lakers on a Friday night....the RG will be rocking.

 

[EGame]

Sad, sad that Wallace has 6 of our 8 points in this quarter. I have a dream that one day we will have an offense that tries to get easy baskets and not just shoot jumpers like we so often do in the third/fourth quarter.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

TNT's broacast sucks compared to Blazer broadcasting. The replays suck (not nearly as many), the knowledge of the team sucks, and the overall product is boring. I feel like I learn something with Mike and Mike. The TNT guys give me nothing when it comes to X's and O's. I'm entertained and informed with Blazer Broadcasting, not with TNT.

The only advantage I give TNT is that the HD signal is better. Better picture quality.

 

[julius]

The Lakers COULD send a message, but if I'm Phil, I don't see any point in it. The Lakers have shown they can turn it on at the drop of a hat. They already won the season series, Portland hasn't shown they can beat good teams on the road (2-12 against the playoff teams in the WC), and why run the risk of an injury in a game that won't improve their standings?

Yes, you're right. The TNT broadcast only points out the extremely obvious. And being a day to day Blazer fan, their insight is garbage.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crash for 3. He is a good shooter for someone with such low arc on his shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crash hits another 3!

 

[EGame]

Pretty sure Wallace is our best 3 point shooter. He is much better than Rudy who really should be ashamed about that.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Crash should compete for the all star 3pt shootout. Wow.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Pretty sure Wallace is our best 3 point shooter. He is much better than Rudy who really should be ashamed about that.

Rudy fucking sucks right now. Unfortunately, that guy is likely the difference between us making a run or not making a run. If he's warm, we're extremely tough to beat. If he's cold, we're easy to figure out. Rudy makes all the difference. Scary thought.
