Hoping for no Feltdown in the second half.

Did Nate have epiphany?

Starting Batum and giving him minutes that the 2nd best player on a team should get.

Took some prodding by the media a quarter way through the season to figure it out.

But, gosh golly, I'm proud of Nate!

Let's go defense

 

[magnifier661]

There u go Aldridge!

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

I don't think any blazer fan feels safe with any lead

 

[magnifier661]

Wow sexy move!

 

[magnifier661]

Rice "take that haters!"

 

[BBert]

Felton is money!

Hatres!

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!

I've noticed that, that there seems to be a correlation between losing and the amount of posts in the game threads.

Hatres!

Ya know if he can just play like this every night, we would be looking good

My rationale for that is that people actually want to watch the game and give full attention to it when we're doing well.

This! Take that haters!

I guess when it's your night, LOL. We'll take it.

Nate's been starting Batum for 4 games now. Where u ben?

 

[illmatic99]

Alright Crawful. No chucking.

 

[PapaG]

This! Take that haters!

Is Nate still a cancer? That was a ridiculous thread, wasn't it?

 

[PapaG]

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

Um, OK.

For such a longstanding community, there sure are a bunch of turd posts at times.

 

[PapaG]

Amazing what getting back an All-Star can do for a team.

Of course, the only good thing about LMA being out is that I haven't had to read any dumb negaLMA threads.

We have about 12 of the biggest bitchers on the internet on this board. I know, because I used to be the 13th.

 

[THE HCP]

Made a friend at halftime in the media room!

 

[illmatic99]

Crawful is mental. He chucks when he should pass. He defers when he should shoot.

 

[BBert]

Barrett saying we have to put the ball in Crawchuck's hands and let him go to work. Fuck you Barrett. The team is playing team basketball. Crawford is playing team basketball. And the result is we are winning. Good for Crawford. Shut the fuck up, Barrett.

I agree about that. But when you're wide open, and you pass up an easy shot, you're hurting the team.

 

[PapaG]

Can't you people just enjoy a big lead? Where are the negaBlazers tonight?

 

[illmatic99]

Shoot the ball, Nico.

 

[illmatic99]

There ya go.

 

[BBert]

Has Wes been working with Felton's shooting coach?

Whatever it is, I love it. Especially 'cause he's somewhat making up for Teague's pathetic 1-10 tonight on my fantasy team.

 

[BBert]

It kills me that when Batum doesn't take bad shots, or passes to a teammate for a better shot, he gets slammed for it. It's called team basketball, working for a good shot. He takes what's there. He does not need to turn into Nate's next Crawchuck.

Where are the negaBlazers tonight?

I'm right here!
