Interesting how Van Gundy said he doesn't think you can win an NBA title with Gerald Wallace as your SF.

What would Van Gundy know about winning titles?

 

[RoyToy]

I'd like to see Wallace/Aldridge/Camby to start the half. That should be the starting 5 anyways.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We look tired. A step slow and allowing the Thunder to penetrate almost at will.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The problem is on offense - we had 5 points in the final 8 minutes. We're having one of our nights where we're awful from outside and can't keep them honest.

That was one of the worst halves I've seen from us this season.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

No goaltending? Absolute bullshit.

 

[illmatic99]

All about effort. We made up those 8 points so quickly by just playing harder.

There is absolutely no reason to play scared against this team. Glad to see the Blazers are realizing this.

Most encouraging part of the game so far:

In the second half in a fight for the defensive rebound, one of the Blazers yelled out "NO LAYINS!"

Sounds like they decided to play with a little more toughness in the second half.

It would be a 5 point game if they called that obvious goaltend.

I heard that! I guessed it was Camby.

 

[RoyToy]

The big lineup is working

Never saw that coming

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Looks like Nate gave that halftime speech LIKE A BOSS

 

[alex42083]

Good point on the tech, Van Gundy!

 

[bluefrog]

Hell yeah! here we come!

 

[illmatic99]

Here come the refs trying to protect their fav team.

 

[RoyToy]

Note: 6pt deficit before Camby went out/end of big lineup

 

[illmatic99]

Wallace got hammered.

 

[RoyToy]

So.....

Gerald Wallace is a beast

 

[KingSpeed]

How can they not mention Kobe as an MVP candidate?? Lakers have about the same record as the Bulls and are the hottest team in the league. Kobe is closing games in the clutch practically nightly. I hate him but he should win MVP this season. Durant? Dirk???

Tie game when Roy entered. I am curious to see what happens now

Blazers tie the game. Not a word from the ESPN talking heads.

[KingSpeed]

I miss Marks/Cunningham/Pryz

 

[RoyToy]

Not that Roy ever looks great physically now, but he seems worse tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Wallace is awesome.

[Mediocre Man]

Does anyone really not see the offense stand around wen Roy comes in?
