Jazz @ Blazers - GAME THREAD

[Darkwebs]

C'mon. Get the freakin' rebound.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

what a disaster

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

If only we had a real low post threat.

 

[EGame]

Well props to Batum for letting us stay in the game. Wish some others could have contributed, but it is what it is.

 

[Darkwebs]

Down 11 with 53 seconds. Game over now.

 

[RoyToy]

Roy would have taken this game over on offense in the 4th. Fucking tired of playing every game missing key players.

 

[B-Roy]

It doesn't seem like it matters whether or not Portland is up or down in the last 5 minutes. They can't close either way without Roy.

 

[EGame]

These refs are all over Williams nuts.

 

[Darkwebs]

Ball don't lie, you effin refs

 

[alex42083]

Brandon...please come back soon!

[EGame]

And Bayless is hurt. Fu**** great.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

whats so fuckin funny okur u piec of shit

 

[Darkwebs]

We're gonna have to learn how to score in the 4th without Roy, because it doesn't appear Roy will be back any time soon. We'll see tomorrow what the final verdict on Roy is though.

 

[EGame]

Great if Bayless hurts, we officialy have no one who can get to the rim except maybe Batum. Miller is starting to look lackluster now.

 

[illmatic99]

Batum got two shots in the second half. Unacceptable.

 

[Darkwebs]

It looks like our guys are coming back down to Earth. In the past month or so, this team has been playing above their head. Now they are trending towards their norm and it ain't pretty. We need Roy back.

Rudy, Martell.

 

[EGame]

Rudy, Martell.

Umm, no. Reaching. Great shooters, not so much getting to the rim, which we need.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Wow. I just noticed they shot 60% for the game. We shot 36%. I hate the Utah Jazz. I hate NBA officials. I am full of hate.

38-63? R u fucking kidding me?

33-92? R U FUCKING KIDDING ME?

 

[ehizzy3]

cant blame the officials

 

[craigehlo]

Blaming the officials for this one is a joke. This is on Nate and the players.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not blaming them, I just hate them. It's a free country I can hate anyone I want.

 

[Driew]

I have not seen such a horrible officiated game in a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time as I did tonight. Horrible horrible horrible officiating. Half the time the refs were guessing on calls.

There were several H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E. calls on both sides of the ball tonight. Williams 4th foul (offensive foul) was a BS call. The foul on Batum's dunk that wasn't called at the end of the 1st quarter. I mean I could go on and on.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I haven't seen the RG crowd that incensed since that game against the Lakers when Scottie got tossed and we threw all the Bill Walton dolls on the court. We booed straight through the quarter break!

Maybe next time, Utah seems like they're too much for the Blazers now that Oden and Pryz are gone taking away the size advantage.

Right now they are, for sure. There's a reason they're #1 in Hollingers Power Rankings at the moment, they are playing some excellent basketball. And, oh ya, I hate the Utah Jazz.

Utah are good when they get mass assists. They had 29 tonights, which usually means they're going to shoot a high percentage like tonight.

Ya u guys took us out behind the woodshed tonight. I fell asleep and only tuned in for the last 18 minutes of the game (jesus christ i drank too much, i never miss a game), and from what I hear I saved myself some rage. I like to feel sorry for myself so I'll just continue thinking that "only against Portland" would a team shoot 60%. God hates me, and I hate the utah jazz.

This.

The whole scrappiness/great character meme was nice....but talent wins in the end. Take away Roy, and this team just doesn't have that much. They are "deep", in the sense of having multiple, interchangeable bodies - but very shallow in terms of impact players.
