Game Thread: Denver @ PDX 7:30

[yakbladder]

holy crap...

unbelievable...

and then the refs let 3 secs run off the clock

 

[alex42083]

Brandon shouldn't have picked up his dribble.

 

[KingSpeed]

refs made it a free throw context and we didn't make ours, they made theirs

no worry, we'll hit a three to send it to OT

 

[Mediocre Man]

I do love how Roy finally decided to pass it to Greg down low with 4 seconds left though. LOL

 

[KingSpeed]

Our whole season is on the line now. You can't blow a home game to a divisional rival.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Even fuck-tello is saying Portland fouled sooner than called? BULLSHIT!!

 

[alex42083]

God dammit.

 

[alex42083]

Hell is going to break loose on this board.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why did we stop going to Rudy??? He got hot, scored 16 in the quarter, and then we stopped giving him the ball. He should've been the one attacking and shooting free throws.

 

[Natebishop3]

Bench Steve Blake.

Was looking for deja vu there.

lol come on man....its been 2 games in the season. our season is not on the line

 

[Minstrel]

Well, that was a blown opportunity. Hope the team gets it together in terms of turnovers, soon.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden blew the game for us.

He was hot because he had Ty Lawson on him. Lawson is like seven inches shorter than Rudy.

 

[alex42083]

Wow... I can't believe we lost that one.

 

[yakbladder]

Roy was way too far out.

Well...we lost this one on our own, no help from Denver.

Crappers.

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn! I hope we can bounce back from this loss.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Because George Karl removed the player, Ty Lawson, who Rudy was abusing for those points.

 

[DUB]

Our whole season is on the line now.

Yeah, in the second game of the season.

Fuck it! Let's pack it all in! Early holidays for everyone.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That was a rough finish. Wish the guys could have hit their free throws at the end. Still a good game, and they will get better as the season goes on.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why didn't Rudy get the ball more? He was putting together a classic and then we went away from him.

 

[drexlersdad]

Ow that kinda hurt a little

 

[KingSpeed]

Outlaw would've won it for us if he was in there.

Read above posts.

That's possible. I actually thought Nate was going to put him in.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

This was a HUGE loss, Division foe at home, and they were on a back to back....

Division looks less of a possibility now

 

[KingSpeed]

Read above posts.

Got it. Then why not counter with Outlaw?

 

[blue32]

Ouch....
4th quarter mishaps

1. Blake comes in and gets torched by Billups, causing Oden to pickup a foul
2. Blake turns it over
-- Four point turn-around
3. Andre missed free-throw
4. Roy missed free throw
5. Oden missed free throws

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Oden blew the game for us.

Oden was the reason that Carmelo Anthony scored 17 points in the final 7 minutes of the game? OK--I'll take your word for it.
