Jazz @ Blazers - GAME THREAD

[Boob-No-More]

I don't see anyone making excuses. Nate decided to try to get Roy out of his funk tonight by feeding him the ball and running the offense through him. I would have done it on the road against a shitty team, but that was Nate's choice. I put a lot of the blame on him. However, mostly I give credit to the Jazz for never giving up. Sloan outcoached Nate and the Jazz outplayed us.

OK, that's tonight's excuse.

What about the other blown 4th quarter leads. The Memphis game was with a healthy, pre-injury Roy. The Hornets game was without Roy. In all three cases, the Blazers absolutely could not score when it mattered. In all cases, they went to Nate's predictable, offense that winds the shot clock down, runs an iso starting with 6 - 8 on the shot clock, and forces up a bad shot, heavily contested as the shot clock is about to expire. Against Memphis is was Roy and Bayless running the isos. Against the Hornets is was Miller isolated against Collison. Tonight, it was back to Roy. In all cases, it failed miserably.

What is that saying about insanity? Something about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Makes me wonder, is out coach insane?

Oh of course.

That's right, because everything would have remained static. Do you remember the 76-77 season? I do. Shitloads of chemistry problems at the beginning of the season. They worked themselves out pretty well, though.

How is what I posted an excuse?

Sloans system is just amazing and a lot of fun to watch. Its just harder to appreciate it when its ripping my team apart lol. I can only imagine how many wins he could have had if he wasnt so damned loyal (after the Stockton/Malone years I mean)

It's simple, but effective. Nate's system is half that. It's simple, but ineffective.

nicely done actually.

Sounds like an excuse for poor play calling to me.

[Wheels]

what say you Mr Allen.. surely Mr Sloan wouldnt be loyal enough to turn down $15 million a year!!!

 

[maxiep]

Haha kiss my ass, you dont know me, no personal attacks needed

i never attacked u

Well, I've seen you bitching and moaning all night. That's all I need to know. You like OKC so much? You want to follow them? Oklahoma has an OSU that's black and orange as well. Good luck in tweaker town.

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Let's calm down.

Here I'll do my part.

Instead of getting angry at each other, let's bash the Laker fan!

That was my read on the situation. You'll note that I also said that wouldn't have been my choice and I wouldn't have chosen this game to do it. But including those parts wouldn't have fit your narrative.

 

[ehizzy3]

lol yeah I seem to have the "John Strong" effect going on in here... no one seems to think I'm not old.

except john strong is a lame

 

[maxiep]

haha ur a class A d-bag, I like OKC so much??? hahahahah

Yep. Class A all the way. I'm not the one crying like a schoolgirl.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Hey guys, dont point out the fact that the Lakers are the best team in the league and are defending world champions cause that might show you really like them and you want to be their fan..... wow

 

[Wheels]

except john strong is a lame

lol I kinda like him.. But I also dont hate Canzano. So take that for what its worth lol.

But I'll take the kinda compliment that you dont think I'm Lame

 

[maxiep]

Hey guys, dont point out the fact that the Lakers are the best team in the league and are defending world champions cause that might show you really like them and you want to be their fan..... wow

Well, those are objective facts. Saying OKC has a brighter future than do we is conjecture. Do you not understand the difference?

I think its how its said... I'm not jumping into your guys' squabble. But I actually show a lot of Laker love and Kobe love on here and I havent been jumped on.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Except u are wrong because based on facts Cleveland is the best team in the NBA right now, but it looks like u dont really read the posts anyways

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

I guess my attempt at being the [video=youtube;LDPmbpgndO4] failed.

By a whole 1/2 game. Fair enough. You get your little victory on CLE having a better record right now. However, do you understand the difference between being objective and subjective? You can use a dictionary if you'd like.

 

[Wheels]

I guess my attempt at being the lightning rod of hate failed.

lol not while I'm in here. I Dont love your team.. but they got the best player on the planet and are a lot of fun to watch. Nothing but Love from me.

If you think that by saying that Bucher might be right about the fact that OKC has a brighter future means that i am an OKC fan then u are a fucking moron

Its like saying, just because i think that the Oregon Duck football team will be better than the beavers next year, i am now a duck fan...

are u fucking kidding me???

 

[ehizzy3]

lol to me, it sounds like he tries to hard to sound intelligent..sounding intelligent is good but he just forces it IMO...might be just me

hahaha you were cool game 1 last year...bad memories tho

I guess my attempt at being the lightning rod of hate failed.

aY fuck you mayne!!

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

My methods of keeping peace need to be revised then lol

I guess being a Laker fan doesn't draw as much as hate as it used to. Exchange rate on hate must been plummeted.

IF anything, I provided a funny youtube clip for you guys.

LMFAO!!! I totally just woke up my wife laughing. I totally forgot about those people. Goodness that was painful to sit through. The game sucked Donkey Penis... And the drunk classless idiots.

"STAND UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPP!!!! STAND UPPPPPPPPPPPPP IF YOU ARE A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! I HOPE YOUR DAUGHTER DIES IN A CAR WRECK REFFFFFFFF!!!!!"

 

[Wheels]

no it still draws a lot of hate from most in here lol.. but unfortunately you got it at the wrong time with some of the calmer people on the board posting. Expect a lot of PM's with profanity laced tirades directed at you in the morning lol. But also it doesnt help with Blazer fans getting pissed because we cant say shit.. you guys handed our asses to us earlier this month
(edit: not that the people who would freak out on Laker fans had a right to talk shit anyway... but you get what I mean lol)

I love the lakers

Lakers>>>Blazers

But above all, I love me some OKC Thunder

Thunder >>>> Anything

:wtf2:

 

[THE HCP]

What a horrible game! I will say it was good to see Brandon out their playing good again. Camby was amazing tonight, just what we need. Can't explain the breakdown, but Boozer killed us in the paint! Tough way to start a long ass road trip. The guys kinda come together on the road, so I wouldn't be surprised if we came back next Monday 4-1!

 

[OddEnormous]

I said no such thing. Sorry Fella, you're the only who knows the Blazers fortunes in the world that doesn't exist.
