Why isn't stots putting Aldridge on bosh?

Because he's our designated cupcake.

 

[KingSpeed]

No playoffs for us

Miami differs. They are putting bosh on Aldridge.

 

[Rhal]

Thats what we need, some attacking the basket.

This is must win and we're blowing it. Season over.

Kerr confusing signing a guy to a 1yr deal to fill out the bench with taking up cap space this summer.

 

[MickZagger]

Ball don't lie.

That was such a horrible call.

 

[Rhal]

Ball dont lie LBJ!

They are swarming us on defense.

 

[Rhal]

That didnt look like a travel.

30% shooting and we'd lose to the Kings or Wiz. Oh, wait....

 

[magnifier661]

That was not a travel!!!!

 

[julius]

weird how they consider LaMarcus by draft, but not Batum.

Both were drafted by other teams and traded to Portland, right?

 

[LuckyShot]

They are swarming us on defense.

Is there a reason we can't do that to them?

 

[BrianFromWA]

LaMarcus "has options" and "needs to be consulted"? "Lack of size?"

 

[Rhal]

No box out created that horrible little sequence.

Getting tired of our guys standing and watching the ball bounce off the rim with Heat players standing right next to them, and then the Heat get the rebound. BOX THEM OUT

 

[illmatic99]

Way to make the call after he missed. Bitch ass refs.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Not. Enough. Scrap.

Obviously.

 

[julius]

boxing out used to be something taught when kids were young. Apparently most of the Blazers were sick those days.

I'm pretty happy with how were defending the cup. Its the turnovers and extra opportunities that are killing us.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So Pekovic in the offseason

 

[BrianFromWA]

No one taught Amare defense, either.

 

[MickZagger]

Mike Miller scoring in the paint is not a good thing.

 

[blue9]

And it appears that LMA is guarding Mike Miller a lot of the time. Or is my game feed just too fuzzy?

Why bother when they've been bigger and more athletic than their peers until they made it to the NBA?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR Nicolas Batum's second assist tonight gave him 150 this year. His career high prior to this season was 123 assists in 2010-11.

 

[Rhal]

Maybe that batun out back will light a fire under the blazers.

I feel like Defensive 3 in the key is one of those, 'when I feel like it' calls for the refs.

almost every call is that.
