GAME THREAD: Lakers @ Blazers 4.8.11 - 7 PM - KGW

[BrianFromWA]

The depth of how much I love seeing fast break buckets and offensive rebounds = the depth of loathing I have for seeing Bennett Salvatore ref a L*ker game. At least Violet Palmer is there to rein him in a bit.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Chris Johnson > Jeff Pendergraph

 

[julius]

How the heck was that not steps on gasol?

 

[Rhal]

We need to box out a hell of a lot better. Unlike Utah the LAkers are better then us so we can't afford to give them second chance points.

 

[julius]

Basket won't count.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Roy got at least 8 inches off the floor on that interception!

 

[EGame]

Not gonna count.

 

[Rhal]

Odom passed to himself, blow those whistles refs!

 

[julius]

Here's an idea...Johnson sucks at defense.

 

[EGame]

My god this bench fucking sucks. No way we can win a playoff series with this bench

WTB Bayless back

 

[DUB]

Ha ha! Patty just handballed (Australian Football) the ball to the ref.

Shoot. Grizz and Hornets won tonight.

Since when do you expect things to go in Portlands favor?

 

[Rhal]

Like hearing Oden he sounds more upbeat except when asked about when he will get to play again.

 

[julius]

Greg is 5 months away from running? that'd be October, right?

So he should be back around December (assuming he's here and assuming there's a season).

Since everything save 1 thing went our way the night we faced GSW.

 

[B-Roy]

I dunno, Oden sounds down to me.

I think the end of October/beginning of December if everything goes according to time frame.

 

[Rhal]

I dunno, Oden sounds down to me.

I thought he sounded pretty normal except when they asked when he would be back on the court.

 

[julius]

Like hearing Oden he sounds more upbeat except when asked about when he will get to play again.

I noticed that too, but I'm sure some of that is just his personality. If it were me, I'd be swearing up a storm everytime the team make a mistake of made a great play while they're talking to me (DAMNIT GUYS! PLAY SOME FUCKING DEFENSE! or FUCK YEAH! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO).

my girl left me, my dog got hit by a car, my tv broke, I got a speeding ticket...but hey, I got tickets to a Blazer game for free! Things are pickin' up!

 

[julius]

Totally skipping the month of November?

 

[julius]

That was a wack foul.

That was never his personality though. He seemed like the kind of quiet jokester coming out of college.

 

[Rhal]

BALL DONT LIE KOBE

 

[julius]

Those will be the only 2 foul shots he misses tonight.

 

[Rhal]

Totally skipping the month of November?

lol meant end of November/early December

 

[Rhal]

BATUM!!!!! Love it when he gets intense.

 

[julius]

That was never his personality though. He seemed like the kind of quiet jokester coming out of college.

I think three major knee injuries tackled his personality.
