Game Thread: Denver @ PDX 7:30

[The Sebastian Express]

These are the times, with these ticky tacky no fouls that are called fouls on Joel and Greg, that I wish Nate would actually you know defend his players and get a tech.

 

[Miksaid]

Ergh... I hope the 4th quarter comes quick. This might be a brutal 3rd without our centers.

 

[Natebishop3]

Okay, so I don't get it... Nate went with his "comfort" lineup, and they still suck. Why are our starters sucking so much ass when it's essentially the same lineup as last year?

Martell!

 

[Tortimer]

What worries me the most is Roy. He didn't have a great pre-season and had a bad first game and is playing bad tonight. I'm sure he will come around but I hope it is soon.

Yes, I wish he'd go out there and get in their face.

They probably have a bet to see who can get Nate to yell first.

That's only Joel's 4th foul isn't it?

 

[illmatic99]

Fadeaway jumpshot by Howard on a 3 on 2 fastbreak. WTF.

 

[yakbladder]

No, 5. He got his 4th a couple minutes early on a call 3 seconds after the fact away from the ball.

 

[yakbladder]

Martell is single-handedly trying to win the game. Blocks, dunks, aggressive D.

 

[mgb]

Ok, thanks.

 

[illmatic99]

I'm not seeing the offensive chemistry that led Nate to start Blake.

Why not try Miller?

 

[B-Roy]

Andre should really be in there right now.

Funny how Blake is playing vastly more time than Miller, isn't it?

 

[alex42083]

Thank god Andre is back in there.

Yeah, Roy is looking rusty. His shot is not falling and more concerning, he seems to be having trouble handling the ball. The ball pops out of his hands when he is making dribble moves a lot more this year than last year. Hopefully, he can shake off the rust and start playing like a superstar again.

 

[alex42083]

Nice take by Martell to draw the foul on Melo. Nice aggressive move.

 

[DUB]

Great move Roy!

 

[alex42083]

That's the B-Roy we love!

 

[yakbladder]

The guys looked scared to shoot up close like they're going to get blocked.

 

[mgb]

Roy!!

 

[DUB]

And again from downtown!

 

[blue32]

HEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alex42083]

Roy's feeling it! Feed him the rock baby. hahaha.. see ya Melo

 

[Darkwebs]

How's your ankle, Melo?

 

[Natebishop3]

Hmmmm..... Miller in..... offense heats up..... coincidence?

BENCH BLAKE!

 

[illmatic99]

There ya go.

 

[yakbladder]

Whew...Roy getting back into the groove. That's what we need, a little vitamin B.

 

[yakbladder]

How's your ankle, Melo?

 

[B-Roy]

Roy was 30 minutes late to the game.
