Game thread Blazers vs. Clippers

Kaman was using the entire Blazer front court as his tampon.

You are calling him a pussy?

He's 3-3 FTs under 5 mins to play. Not a large sample. If I read it right he also has either 2 or I think 4 TOs during the same time.

I never said it was a large sample. I said he's 100%. Perhaps he needs to play more at the end of close games. I'm still amazed that BLANKY'S win % stays stable while off the bench, while Miller's has decreased as a starter.

You know what they say in the TV news biz - if it bleeds, it leads!

Might be his game doesn't tend to draw many fouls. That was for being ahead or behind by 5 so it wouldn't be the other team would have to foul and generally that doesn't happen until less than 24 secs left.

Back from the game. Good victory, I know the Clips can surprise and all, but from the Blazer perspective, you got win these home games. I get the loss to the sixers, but can't loss two at home because of effort.

Couple of takes (the tickets I had tonight were right behind the vistor's bench):

Lucas and Howard were talking it up before and during the game (friendly banter way). It was fun to watch those two interact all game.

Telfair was all smiles and acknowledged a few fans cheering his name

Camby always looks bigger in person than on TV to me . . . thought he would have a good game but he didn't look very good to me tonight (haven't looked at the stats yet)

Before the game the Clip team looked loose and enjoyed playing with each other (almost cocky). I thought it was trouble for the Blazers . . . guess not.

Ricky is still Ricky

I don't know if the camera caught Lucas on the bench acting like a cheerleader. Some guy was heckling Lucas pretty hard but Lucas never reacted and kept on being animated (fan shouted that he should have pink pom poms)

Anyways it should be interesting looking at the stats and reading the game thread, my general take coming back from the game is . . . Roy is the man.

Who the fuck would have the cold brass balls to heckle The Enforcer?! The man's kicking cancer's ass, and he's getting heckled by some jackoff with enough cash to sit near a Blazer with his name in the rafters?

Fuck that noise. I'd have beat him down.

I think he mean John Lucas, the Clips' asst coach.

 

[THE HCP]

Great choice for the freeze play.

Mean pick set by JP.

Why thank you very much!

 

[THE HCP]

We just need Pendergraph to grow dreads so we can call him The Rasta Monsta!

Edit . . . yep I meant John Lucas

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by the win% staying stable? That "clutch" and normal are similar? Or that starting or coming off the bench they're the same? B/c I remember a thread about a month ago where people were bringing up his ~91% win percentage as a reason he should be playing a lot. On the link you posted, he's now at 64%. Still good, but I don't get what you mean by "stable".

For the record, I don't have a trend of starting vs. non-starting.

That block on Blake, in person @ the game, was ridiculous! It went sailing out of the rose garden!
