Game Thread: The ATL @ the PDX

[KingSpeed]

That's why Oden didn't start the third. He can't stay in the game.

 

[yakbladder]

Ouch. Oden with his 4th. Still can't shake the foul prone blues.

 

[The Professional Fan]

And that's 4 on Greg.

 

[B-Roy]

This team is stupid. Webster scores 8 in a row and then they NEVER GO BACK TO HIM.

 

[illmatic99]

So when we do well it's in spite of Nate and when we do poorly it's because of Nate?

Are you even following the game?

 

[MIXUM]

we are in lots of trouble in this game...

feels just like denver

 

[yakbladder]

Are you even following the game?

Sure. And I see different things than you do. I like Nate. You don't. Simple as that.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Dude. Ugly.

 

[craigehlo]

No run for Rudy in the 3rd?

 

[KingSpeed]

We need Oden to play 35 minutes a night but he is just incapable.

 

[yakbladder]

1 quarter to pull it together. We can do it. Need to start driving some more and hope Oden can stay in the game for more than 2 minutes.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

Webster got hot.

This ^^^

I wish they would just use god damn Oden till he fouls out. Fucking christ, just let him play, its so irritating the yo yo shit going on

 

[Buzz Killington]

disgusting offense. this team is so selfish right now.

 

[B-Roy]

This team is just so frustrating, they just go iso when something bad happens. It's like they have no brain or something.

 

[MIXUM]

well after friday... 2-4


what a letdown this team has been.

 

[KingSpeed]

Roy's gotta take it to the hole in the 4th.

 

[Natebishop3]

Apparently it's better to be 6'9 250lbs and play center, because if you're 7'1 and any smaller guy runs into you and falls down, it's your fault for being big...

 

[The Professional Fan]

Miller -5
Blake +1

I'm not trying to make a point, cuz I love Miller, but I just found that interesting.

A little early to be prognosticating a defeat.

If they did that, he'd already be done for the night.

 

[SpanishFly]

Webster got hot.

so take Blake the hell out and put Rudy in

Sometimes it's like they have players who try to go 1 on 1 too much, or forget their skillset or shooting range.

 

[rocketeer]

That's why Oden didn't start the third. He can't stay in the game.

so the solution for getting him on the court more is to have him sit on the bench?

rather than ensure that oden sits the first 8 minutes, why not start him and see how many minutes you can get out of him before he gets a foul and then sit him and have him start the 4th with 4?

 

[KingSpeed]

wow

great defense

 

[SpanishFly]

we need a C in here, wake up Nate

 

[yakbladder]

Roy took two 3's in a row. Nailed one, missed the other. But I wonder if he's trying to put too much of a load on his back. He also tries to drive a few times while others stand around.

 

[mrkorb]

That defense looks like when I'm playing NBA2K10. Ugly.
