Until I get a BrianfromWA breakdown on shot charts, it doesn't matter. Does BrianfromWA still post here?

 

[KingSpeed]

Now turn the channel to ESPN. Big Phoenix/Houston game that has ramifications for us.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Dame gets the concept of "stepping up" when the team needs him. Well done!

For all his flaws, TRob always hustles. Tonight it paid off big time.

I'll watch the game on watchespn tonight with ad blocker on.

Dame coulda dropped 40 easily if the refs didn't screw him over. Double personal foul?! WTF was that shit about

Yeah, I felt like this was going to be the game he got 54.

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR The Trail Blazers outscored the Timberwolves, 56-26, from the 2:06 mark of the second quarter to the 5:56 mark of the fourth quarter.

Great win! Had to miss the first half at a boring work potluck listening to boring speeches but that's life! How about this team? I think this bench is going to be ready come playoff time. NICO was great tonight, Dame was great tonight, TRob could have had his turn-it-around game tonight...great effort by the sophmore! Go Blazers!

This shit cracks me up every time.

Me too. That's why I had to go looking for it

There's always a couple gems in the Rube Chat game thread.

Thomas Robinson is considering adopting the entire Wolves roster as his sons.

It really is true that every team's fans think they get the shaft, cause man... they thought Love should never be called for a foul. lol.

So glad we're done with the Minnesota Floppingwolves.

Not me. I like beating the shit out of them.

At least they already know who their daddy is.

I do too... but good grief that are a bad team to watch with their flopping.

I did like the Barea foul-o-rama at the end. It was amusing after a frustrating first half.

 

[Pinwheel1]

His jumper certainly needs to improve

He has a nice stroke but he just shouldn't take the mid range shot nor should Claver and or Lopez. They are left wide open for a reason, as are many bigs in the NBA. The offense it set up for LMA to be open for those mid range shots. Do they run the same offense when LMA is not in? If they do then they need to make some adjustments.

Robison just needs to take his time on offense when he gets that ball down low. That one play where stopped and let the D fly by him before he dunked it was awesome. More of that please. He does so many things well that the Blazers need, he just needs some time.

Claver can help too. He made some expected bone head plays, but like Joel he makes a lot of effort plays. He does not want to take the outside shot, his teammates need to learn that. But he sure runs the floor well and he gets to the loose balls. A big need for this team. There are certain players he can guard that we could use his help with. Like Durrant. We need someone long that can guard those guys on the perimeter. Get him minutes to learn.

They seriously blamed the whole thing on the refs.

[jlprk]

That was fun to watch because we finally got to see our bench under the gun to perform. Stotts needs to play these guys so they'll develop.

This summer Claver should put on 15 pounds of solid muscle. (Maybe he could hire our old trainer.) Claver should be converted from a natural SF to a PF, since he can't shoot. He needs to think about playing powerfully and lose his excess mobility, which impressed me a year ago, but which I now see as holding him back.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

They seriously blamed the whole thing on the refs.

I'm sure the refs are also responsible for all their other second half meltdowns.

 

[Strenuus]

They seriously blamed the whole thing on the refs.

Yeah. The refs didn't get them to score 37 points in the 2nd half (only 3 more than their entire 1st quarter total).

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm sure the refs are also responsible for all their other second half meltdowns.

They shot four more free throws than us.... so I'm not sure how they can seriously justify that claim.

Well, they did T us up for owning them in that little stretch. lol.

 

[illmatic99]

17 shots for 32 points is very BRoy like

 

[-Ace-]

Man.....the energy tonight at the game was the best it's been in a while. That second half was magical, and the one thing I'm disappointed with is T-Rob not getting subbed out near the end of the game for a standing ovation. Player of the game.

The highlights from ESPN show the bullshit double foul on Dame. Brewer is a dirty piece of shit.
