god i cant stand mcmillians rotations, even tho were winning, why take out the people that are hustling and scoring..

and can we let greg get his 6th pls?

 

[alex42083]

15 double doubles for Greg in 38 games. Not too shabby.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our centers have come up with 23 rebounds and counting. Nice.

 

[alex42083]

Nice to see us holding a team under 40 percent shooting. I don't know the last time we've ever done that.

I love stat padding as much as the next guy but there was still a ton of time left on the clock for the Thunder to come back and make it a game. We'd need Oden at that point.

 

[bigbailes]

i'm amazed you guys still don't get it. it's not bayless vs. sergio, it's bye bye blake. you don't need both to play well, you only need one.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bayless better be the backup PG when Blake comes back.

 

[Ed O]

i'm amazed you guys still don't get it. it's not bayless vs. sergio, it's bye bye blake. you don't need both to play well, you only need one.

But Mike and Mike keep telling us how much the team misses--and has missed--Blakey!

Ed O.

32-19. Sweetness.

when blake comes back, he is the starter and only one of the other two is going to get minutes.

It can't gonna happen that way. They like Blake. Blake is going nowhere. It's Bayless or Sergio and Bayless will win.

sonic fans = weak.

looks like GO is getting some on the plane!

 

[MARIS61]

Here's a fun stat:

Westbrook 1-7 against Sergio.

Westbrook 4-8 against Jerryd.

Nice game offensively by both of our guards.

Yep.

she looked scared at the end of the interview! throw it down, big man!

you get that "stat" reading through a play by play again?

being in the game at the same time as sergio or bayless does not mean that he scored those points with him actually defending him.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Sonic fans went there to boo the Thunder without mercy...

I didn't notice anything different from when Blazer fans boo the opposing teams.

Verdict: WEAKSAUCE!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

greg seems really chill and happier now. good times ahead for blazers fan

 

[crowTrobot]

Here's a fun stat:

Westbrook 4-8 against Jerryd.

a blind person could see sergio was awful on defense tonight and bayless was 10x better.

 

[alex42083]

One full game up on No. 5 Dallas. This is beautiful, and would be really nice to get the one tomorrow.

 

[crowTrobot]

when's the last time the blazers had 3 10+ rebounders in a game

 

[B-Roy]

Here's a fun stat:

Westbrook 1-7 against Sergio.

Westbrook 4-8 against Jerryd.

Correction. Westbrook was 1-7 against Aldridge, because that's who was guarding him when Sergio switched.

 

[bigbailes]

m and m tell you that because barrett is in love with blake and will never tell you otherwise. if neither bayless or sergio are moved in the next week, expect to see blake renounced in the offseason. he might play for the rest of the season but he is not needed here anymore.

 

[MARIS61]

when blake comes back, he is the starter and only one of the other two is going to get minutes.

Not what Nate said.

Nate said they have both played well and he will have to find minutes for them, hence the smallball lineups lately.

If a guard ends up being traded, it will be Blake, as has always been the plan.

Why? So we can see 4 assists and 4 turnovers by Sergio on a game to game basis? Who's the starter?

 

[alex42083]

Would Blake accept being the third-string PG? I don't know... still convinced about Sergio being a guy who can play 20-25 mins, and be dependable in a playoff-type game.
