GAME THREAD: Round 1, Game 6 - Mavericks @ Blazers, 4.28.11 - DO or DIE!

[julius]

Dearest Portland,
trading baskets is fun. when you have the lead.

signed,

anyone with a heart.

 

[B-Roy]

Did they give Kidd a 3 when he hit that bullshit shot at the shot clock buzzer?

Looked like his foot was on the line.

No, 2.

 

[TripTango]

Can we just get 5 Gerald Wallaces for the 4th quarter? Sweet jeebuz.

 

[DUB]

Bring in Patty!

I was going to say wait a bit, but we're not hauling them in; so I agree bring Patty in, there's nothing to lose.

Sure he's a streaky shooter, but if he's on he'll win the game for us.

 

[WillG]

The only 'Man' on the team is G Wallace. He seems like the only one who's playing with effort and like his pride is on the line.

I suspect the rest are already thinking about how they are going to spend their NBA millions this summer. . .

 

[julius]

It's times like this when I wish we still had Bayless.

It's times like this I wish Portland had Durant and a better coach.

 

[Sinobas]

These last 3 playoff appearances have been embarassing. Blazers seem to be outclassed on both ends, and they act like they don't even know how to play basketball anymore. For 3 years in a row, I'd say they stepped down instead of stepping up.

It doesn't help that we have bums like Rudy Ferandez (who is 3-17 in this series) who can't make an outside shot, or that our backup guard is a rookie 2nd round pick.

But I think we've found something in Chris Johnson. Keep him for next year. Yippie! Chris Johnson! The hope of our future.

 

[DUB]

It's times like this when I wish we still had Bayless.

I don't see how it would make a difference.

The Mavs would hack him on the way to the basket, and the refs wouldn't call it.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Once again our offense is nowhere to be seen. Nate really needs to go.

 

[MARIS61]

He obviously wasn't making a play on the ball, just shoved him down, so why not a flagrant foul?

 

[BigVolcano]

yea Dallas has blown a bigger lead than this before, once in this series. Nothing is set yet.

 

[B-Roy]

The refs are giving us calls this quarter. No one is trying to attack though (besides Gerald).

 

[illmatic99]

12 mins to save the season.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

4 quick 3 and 1's and we're right back in this!

Ironically, Rick Adleman was fired for less than that.

 

[MARIS61]

Once again our offense is nowhere to be seen. Nate really needs to be given players who can shoot.

fixed.

 

[illmatic99]

Dear Rudy,

Not shooting when you're wide open is worse than missing.

Sincerely,
Everyone.

 

[DUB]

Only because we're trading baskets.

I reckon if we were closing the gap, they'd swallow their whistles on our end.

nice

 

[geraldwallace]

go gw go roy go la go blazers
come back !!

 

[B-Roy]

That's not what happened game 4.

Either way, aggressive players like Bayless are always better than passive nothings like Rudy.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Fuck you, Dirk. Seriously.

 

[Darkwebs]

Camby and crash! Great start to the 4th

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Thank You Rudy!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

FUCKING FINALLY, RUDY!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy! FinAlly

 

[RoyToy]

Batum is so soft

Jesus

 

[B-Roy]

Wow, that was a foul on Dirk.

 

[MARIS61]

Dirk fouling Batum without worry that he'll be called.

 

[B-Roy]

Nice, showing some energy.
