GAME THREAD: Spurs @ Blazers 3/25/11

How about Nate for designing that play? Everyone deserves credit though. It was a whole team effort, really.

Ya. Great play. And I loved the Roy addition into the lineup. He served as a great decoy.

 

[STOMP]

Batum with the Billy Ray Bates impression for the win!

STOMP

Ya, Roy, LA, Wes, everyone concentrated on them and Batum sneaked in the rear!

Fantastic win!!!

The worst part is, I'm at my condo in Bend, and the local NBC affiliate didn't air the freaking game!!!!

A real fan would have found a place to watch it.

Same thing happened to me last night, Beerboy and HCP served as decoys while I sneaked into HCP's wife's rear.

We really needed this win, since the Hornets won tonight, despite missing David West.

This brings up the old BBF arguments. I was always wanting to secure a playoff spot, yet others wanted to secure the best seed.

I don't think seeding matters, at least in terms of this Blazer team, or that last two years' teams. I just want to watch more basketball, being it a 5-seed or an 8-seed.

Jarrett Jack had a nice game.

So my daughter has a friend over tonight for a sleepover. They are both 9 and my youngest is 6. My wife had just read them a story and got them all tucked in. They were at peace, and I was watching the game on mute. When Nic made the shot I just started screaming YESSS YESSS THEY WON!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I scared the crap out of all of them, and they came running out to see what the heck was going on. Needless to say, they are still not asleep forty minutes later.

My wife is working in San Francisco, and I have my daughters with me.

I found a pirated version on the internet. Now go bitch about Nate some more.

You've gotta watch those sneaky Frenchmen.

They shouldn't be. Its not even 10pm yet and its a Friday on spring break. When I was 9 I was out TP'ing houses, or something on the Friday before my spring break ended.

I am still in disbelief. We were down 6 points, 96-90 with 1:21 to go in the game. What a miracle to walk away with a victory and without the use of the 3-point shot in our fast and furious comeback, which frankly was a good idea since we suck from long distance.

 

[illmatic99]

Mike Rice really is Merlin.

[RoyToy]

Batum with 3 straight games with 20pts+

He's been a lot more aggressive lately and I'm loving it

You do realize that 5-seeds, on average, play more games in the playoffs and advance more often than 8-seeds, right?

And they now all love Nic almost as much as maxiep does?

 

[mgb]

Miller, 21 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals

 

[Sug]

This was still the biggest play of the game

LA, Roy, and Wes made that play possible by dragging their men away from the basket. Dre delivered a perfect pass. Batum with the punch.

 

[MrSelfDestruct]

Awesome game and an amazing finish. I'm going to remember this finish for a long time.

 

[RoyToy]

That was a total meltdown by SA, btw. They had no business losing that game, at least in regulation.

And look how you turned out!

 

[Rhal]

oh man that game winner is on Par with Roys vs Houston. I still can't believe it.

 

[illmatic99]

Pop is pissed.

Hahaha,,,,that was the ball game.

 

[MickZagger]

Pop wears pinstripes to take the attention off his ugly mug.

Well...Hell yes! Note the fake Nico did like he was going to swing out to get the ball.

I would really prefer to avoid the Spurs or L*kers, so seeding is important to me.

Of course he is; they've just lost a game they should have won, and the reporters are asking moronic, meaningless questions.
