GRIZZLIES @ BLAZERS GAME THREAD – 03.12.2013, 7 PM -KGW

0pts for the 2nd highest paid player on the team

his wrist is all jacked up. I would even consider sitting him once we're out of it.

 

[RoyToy]

Sore wrist?

No excuses.

If he only had half the heart Wesley has...

 

[MadeFromDust]

Wesley needs to kick it out for Lillard for a 3 on those semi-fast breaks instead of just barreling to the basket.

 

[MickZagger]

Gasol's the best Center in the league.

 

[Rhal]

Man, for as good as Leonard has looked offensively in this game, he's really struggling in that zone.

It's got to be interesting to hear the game called from the Blazers' broadcast. Brevin Knight and Pete Pranica keep bitching about missed calls on our broadcast, but I think the games really been called pretty evenly so far. The players have been bitching about some calls that really didn't need to be bitched about.

Decent amount of complaining from lack of calls by the mikes. I agree its been pretty evenly called, they want a real physical game so they are letting them play. The Mikes made a lot of comments about Grizz players complaining about the calls/lack of calls to the refs in the first half.

I guess when you get a rep for playing D they let you get away with more.........

 

[B-Roy]

Might as well play Leonard since neither he nor Hickson play defense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Gasol's the best Center in the league.

4th best by my count

Signed,
Dwight, Joakim, and Tyson

Watching Garnett play tells the story of what a "good" defender rep lets you get away with.

 

[magnifier661]

8 doubles

 

[MickZagger]

They're D'ing the shit out of us right now.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lillard not getting calls

 

[Rhal]

Stotts needs to get a T here. They call nothing on a few of lillards drives that contact has clearly effected the shot and then they call that on the other end.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Call it both ways for christ sake

 

[B-Roy]

All Nic does is pass. He doesn't even look at the basket anymore.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The call on wes pisses me off the most. They slap at a ball it is clean, we do it is a foul

 

[KingSpeed]

Jon- are you cheering loud enough?

 

[NOVoodoo]

Oh, come on! That's just great defense by Gasol. The guy knows how to d up without gambling or committing the foul... hands straight in the air, minimal contact on the body... not a much better way to defend a guy that just ducks his head and runs with a head full of steam towards the basket.

 

[MadeFromDust]

All Nic does is pass. He doesn't even look at the basket anymore.

Probably because his shooting wrist is injured and he doesn't want to hurt the team or himself.

It's aldridges fault. Blue9 said Aldridge only demands 4-6 double teams a game!

 

[KingSpeed]

All Nic does is pass. He doesn't even look at the basket anymore.

i guess Stotts feel his intangibles are worth it, but I think he should consider putting Babbitt in

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah Nic needs to be sat. If he can't attack the basket then it is like 4 on 5

 

[MadeFromDust]

Refs intimidated by the mighty Grizz

 

[B-Roy]

Probably because his shooting wrist is injured and he doesn't want to hurt the team or himself.

He's definitely hurting the team.

 

[Rhal]

Oh, come on! That's just great defense by Gasol. The guy knows how to d up without gambling or committing the foul... hands straight in the air, minimal contact on the body... not a much better way to defend a guy that just ducks his head and runs with a head full of steam towards the basket.

Just like it was good D on wes to knock the ball clean out of the guys hands. The plays I was talking about were before that one by Gasol though.

 

[KingSpeed]

Unbelievable.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Yeah, this is BS

 

[MadeFromDust]

He's definitely hurting the team.

Then we should sit him and let him heal?

 

[Pinwheel1]

3 in a row from gasol from the same spot. Neither JJ or LA have guarded him. A little of that is coaching.
