What is Barkley saying?

That haven't mentioned Portland yet. Only talking about Houston/Howard.

[Strenuus]

We're 5-13 from 3. They're 10-14 from 3. The difference in 3-point shooting--15 points.

That's all it is. With as bad as everything looked, the ENTIRE difference is in the threes. I'm not as dejected as I could be.

We've been a 2nd-half team all year. No reason it can't happen again tonight.

Exactly. I think we still pull this out. It's just gonna take a lot of work.

 

[Hobbesarable]

What is Barkley saying?

They're saying Dwight needs to keep attacking the rim and post aggressively.

 

[KingSpeed]

Saying anything about us?

 

[Strenuus]

Barkley started by talking about Dwight Howard

Then said Houston won't live by shooting 3's

Shocking. They'd say the SAME thing if we did that.

 

[julius]

I'm at Hooters, can't hear sound. Could someone give me a play by play of what they're saying about us?

Charles: They're a jump shooting taem that don't play defense. they're turruble
Shaq: JaVale McGee! CAN YOU DIG IT!?
EJ: hey, I'm kind of liking this. I get paid to be around idiots.
Webber: I did not travel

oddly enough, if that is what Chuck is saying, he's correct.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Saying anything about us?

No. They're showing some uncanny mercy so far.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Figures. My bad for missing the 1st half. Houston is killing them. yikes

Repped the shit out of this. That was hilarious. Especially the Webber reference. WEll done.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Now, Charles is diggin' at Portland's defense.

 

[RoyToy]

Terrible defense by Portland - Barkley

Portland shouldn't double Dwight, let him get 40 - Barkley

Again, just horrific defense by Portland - Barkley

 

[Strenuus]

Figures. My bad for missing the 1st half. Houston is killing them. yikes

It's not as bad as it looks. Houston just hit everything.

Who cares, He's right.

He has a point.

Arigato!

Yeah, he waited until the end near the commercial break to get that in.

When have you ever seen Dwight get 40 points in a game?

 

[Strenuus]

Barkley doesn't talk about in-depth things... just surface.

They aren't paid to be analysts, they are paid to be personalities under the guise of analyzing. I'd love to see how many REAL minutes they actually analyze plays. My guess is under 3-4 minutes.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yeah, he waited until the end near the commercial break to get that in.

You know, he complains because he loves. He really seems to.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't even care what they say. Do they even watch the games?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I bought this stuff from Trader Joe's called cookie butter.

Wow, it's really good. Anyone else ever try this?

 

[KingSpeed]

Thanks for the commentary!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

It's not as bad as it looks. Houston just hit everything.

Well shit. These games happen. I just hate how every loss means more because it's Portland. It never carries the same weight if it's another top team.

 

[riverman]

Now it's time for that monster 3rd qtr run!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lol at the sprint ad covering up the scores.

Amazing.

 

[KingSpeed]

I remember him doing it against Hawks in playoffs, for one.

They called it Crisco when I was growing up. lol

 

[Strenuus]

When have you ever seen Dwight get 40 points in a game?

1-28-11 and 2-25-11 to name two of them.
