Kings @ Blazers 01/23/2012 - Game Thread!

[Nikolokolus]

Cousins must have called Thomas "old" or something.

 

[TripTango]

Dang. Camby already injured? He just came back. At least it doesn't sound too serious

He's creaky. Gotta be expected.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Mike Barrett: "Craig Smith thought Crawford was going to shoot that."
Mike Rice: "Everybody in the Rose Garden thought Crawford was gonna shoot that."

 

[KingSpeed]

This is why you don't yank the starters too soon. Told you so.

 

[Rhal]

Put LMA back in.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Cousins must have called Thomas "old" or something.

Thomas calmly told Cousins that he might be his father. He's not sure though, cause his mom slept around quite a bit.

 

[B-Roy]

Outlaw was a closer though. Hit so many game winning shots.

Crawford has too.

 

[illmatic99]

Anyone want to pass Nic the ball?

 

[magnifier661]

I like turtles!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Mike Barrett: "Craig Smith thought Crawford was going to shoot that."
Mike Rice: "Everybody in the Rose Garden thought Crawford was gonna shoot that."

Crawford must have fooled himself on that one.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The Honda commercial's music blatently rips off Red Barchetta by Rush...

 

[magnifier661]

Anyone want to pass Nic the ball?

Yeah maybe if he actually wants to shoot it. He's playing really timid tonight for some reason.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Anyone want to pass Nic the ball?

Nope!!!

 

[magnifier661]

Have I ever told you guys I love rhino?

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah maybe if he actually wants to shoot it. He's playing really timid tonight for some reason.

Dude, he's touched it twice. Shot once, passed once. He's not getting enough touches.

 

[Nikolokolus]

He's a rhythm player ... kind of tough to get into a rhythm when you don't get a pass until the 3rd quarter.

Well cut to the basket. All I see is him parked on right three point line.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Right there was a perfect example of Crawford completely freezing Nic out on that idiotic drive to the hoop.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Is this your first Blazers' game?

 

[magnifier661]

Don't get me wrong. I want him to succeed just like everyone else. He just doesn't look like he wants it tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Well cut to the basket. All I see is him parked on right three point line.

Look closer.

And don't just stare at the guy holding the ball. You'll be watching Crawford all night.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Right there was a perfect example of Crawford completely freezing Nic out on that idiotic drive to the hoop.

He's trying to personally outscore the Kings bench.

 

[illmatic99]

Well cut to the basket. All I see is him parked on right three point line.

He makes the entry pass to Craig Smith or Aldridge. Cuts hard to to the hoop and neither of the big men hand off to him. It's gotta be frustrating as hell.

 

[magnifier661]

Is this your first Blazers' game?

This is this blazer game dude! Of course he doesn't play like this normally. But tonight this is what he's doing!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Don't get me wrong. I want him to succeed just like everyone else. He just doesn't look like he wants it tonight.

Maybe. He's still playing defense, he still swings the ball as he should. Doesn't look like a guy who's not in the game to me.

 

[Nikolokolus]

This is this blazer game dude! Of course he doesn't play like this normally. But tonight this is what he's doing!

No, I was talking about your "parked on the three point line" observation. That's the defined role for the small forward in Nate's offense. Always has been.

 

[magnifier661]

Have I ever told you I love me some rhino?!

 

[magnifier661]

No, I was talking about your "parked on the three point line" in the coffin corner. That's the defined role for the small forward in Nate's offense. Always has been.

Lol hahaha yeah now I know what you mean. I concur!

 

[magnifier661]

Well the good thing is Aldridge and Batum will be nice and rested for tomorrow.

 

[RoyToy]

Only up 15?

Burn the Rose Garden down!!1
