We're lucky they're not hitting their wide open threes.

I love this new look Blazer team that can consistently hit outside shots.

Blake, Rudy, Outlaw, Roy can all hit 3's. Heck even Lamarcus and Batum are pretty efficient this year. When Webster gets back it will only get better. Last year it seemed like 3's were our weakness.

We weren't bad. We still had Blake, Outlaw, Roy, Webster, and Jones

Blazers - 14 PF

Magic - 5 PF

Even it up Refs.

hu? we had 3 of the top 10 in the league for most of the year.

 

[KingSpeed]

That wasn't goaltending.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nice shot, Brandon.

 

[KingSpeed]

What were those last two shots, Brandon and Travis???

 

[KingSpeed]

Fight!!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Jesus. Dwight with 21/11 in the first half and counting...

23/12 at half

 

[MickZagger]

Fight!!!!

That wasn't a fight.

 

[B-Roy]

Sigh, I wish Travis would just take the open shot instead of trying to create.

Our defense is terrible. They've had so many wide open looks from 3. We're just lucky they aren't hitting.

My sentiments exactly. Batum is getting the shaft from the refs.
Also, would Channing Frye please not shoot the ball
Someone body Dwight, he didn't do that good vs us last year, what gives?

 

[RoyToy]

I'd trade Oden/Rudy for Dwight.

edit - Would that even be enough?

Ref's didn't call bullshit fouls on Joel. Notice that when Joel was in the game during the 2nd quarter for a significant amount of time, we were able to build a lead. Joel goes out, boom, lead's gone.

Sometimes I think coaches overeact to the number of fouls. If Joel has 3, you know, I'd keep him in there. There's no reason to take someone out if we're just going to get crushed after he comes out.

Not right now it wouldn't be. Maybe before the season started.

 

[MAS RipCity]

there is a conspiracy going on...these refs are fucking horrible. We are not even coming close to touching them

 

[dpc]

Wow.. good call....

 

[Reep]

I bet this is just killing Oden to not be out there.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Tough to win when the other team is shooting almost 3 times as many FTs.

 

[BengalDuck]

What an incredible foul call.

 

[dpc]

Nice ball movemtn

 

[noknobs]

Are these refs serious?

I'm not seeing any of these, this is one of the most lopsided officiating performances I've ever seen.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Dwight is great, but he doesn't need these calls to help his cause. Can't wait to Greg to throw down on him

 

[KingSpeed]

Batum is invisible out there.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Wow, I bet the Magic are regretting giving Shard that fatty contract

 

[KingSpeed]

yea LaMarcus

 

[MAS RipCity]

Shoot the rock travis!

 

[B-Roy]

Wow, Outlaw...........TAKE THE OPEN SHOTS YOU IDIOT.

 

[KingSpeed]

Diogu might have to play soon.

 

[dpc]

If outlaw shoots and misses people get mad, if he doesnt shoot and pass people get mad...
