Hawks @ Blazers 02/18/12 Game Thread - LaMarcus active

[SlyPokerDog]

Jason Quick @jwquick Huge, huge disappointment here at the Rose Garden: Players asked which animal they would like to be: Craig Smith - a lion.

 

[jaspitzer]

Our point guards are doing well, maybe I should be at every game

 

[Rhal]

Loving Batum at the moment.

 

[jaspitzer]

Nolan's in there scraping playing well??????

 

[BBert]

Is Nate going to finally use more of his lineup to reduce player fatigue?

 

[magnifier661]

Hey Nolan playing pretty good!

 

[illmatic99]

Offense looks so much better without Crawful going 1 on 5.

 

[jaspitzer]

Hope so, Nolan's no worse than the round mound of turnover

 

[jaspitzer]

Was that a block or a goaltend?

 

[magnifier661]

Batum is soooo good on timing those layup blocks

 

[BBert]

It amazes me there are people who want to trade Batum.

 

[jaspitzer]

I no longer would trade him. But he needs to get more plays from Nate. He has to start demanding the ball. There shouldn't be a question of who the number 2 option is on this team.

If he brought this kind of intensity every night, we wouldn't.

 

[illmatic99]

lol Rice.

 

[magnifier661]

God if only Felton played like this every night

 

[BBert]

Who's that guy wearing Felton's uniform?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

"Haters", Rice? More like realists. Felton can have an occassional good game, but he's still shit.

 

[DUB]

lol Rice.

Calling out the Felton haters.

 

[illmatic99]

Nic's reactions are hilarious when he misses a FT or makes a dumb turnover. Gets so angry with himself.

 

[magnifier661]

lol Rice.

There you go haters out there! Sounds like this forum. Okay so is rice papa?

 

[BBert]

If he brought this kind of intensity every night, we wouldn't.

He has been, and it's up to his coach to put him in this role, and previously his coach has not.

 

[illmatic99]

I told you guys. The whole Crawful problem goes away when Felton plays well and Nate stops using Jamal at PG.

 

[magnifier661]

Who's that guy wearing Felton's uniform?

Well let's trade felton for this guy!

 

[Rhal]

Felton is having a great game, hopefully it continues

 

[magnifier661]

I told you guys. The whole Crawful problem goes away when Felton plays well and Nate stops using Jamal at PG.

Take that hater!

 

[BBert]

LaMarcus is playing rested. He's pretty good.

 

[illmatic99]

We were up 18 last game and lost. This game isn't over yet.

 

[B-Roy]

I told you guys. The whole Crawful problem goes away when Felton plays well and Nate stops using Jamal at PG.

Felton almost never plays well, so that problem will stay a problem.

Maybe this performance will convince a team to trade for him.

 

[PapaG]

Nic's only on pace for 34 minutes tonight, which is below his average for the past 6 games. Play him 45 minutes a game!!

Nattte izz a idiott!! :MARIS61:

 

[PapaG]

Game threads when the team is up 15 at the half against a decent team aren't very much fun when you actually want the team to win a game.

If the Hawks make a big run in the 2nd half, I expect this thread to blow up with posts!
