Laverne & Shirley Time! - Blazers @ Bucks GAME THREAD

[VenomXL]

Nice Block.

Good steal.

 

[MARIS61]

Link anyone?

Haha. Mixum gets suspended and craigehlo instantly reappears with an identically accurate summation of the team's shortcomings.

Watch out c.e., dissent is not welcomed here.

 

[VenomXL]

This game is getting sloppy.

 

[STOMP]

You know what though, when the jumpers AREN'T falling is when we start to hear the old "we're a jump shooting team" stuff. When we're on, people love it.

Boston is a jump shooting team, so is LA.... is the Heat going exclusively to the low block? Dwight can't do much if the rest of the Magic isn't hitting their shots

without Greg Portland is an outside in team. Why pay attention to the white noise of critics like they matter?

STOMP

 

[craigehlo]

With Brockman in the game, it's time to attack the rim. That guy is the worst center I've seen this season.

 

[craigehlo]

Rudy, Finally!

 

[VenomXL]

Rudy!

We've taken 13 three point shots already? Yeesh.

 

[Natebishop3]

Definitely closing out the half well.

I wouldn't use Miami as an example. They push the ball a lot, and James/Wade/Bosh can all get in the paint. Wade is one of the best slashing guards in the league.

 

[MickZagger]

Sure they have a lot of great shooters. But how have they done in the playoffs? It was just a day ago this team got creamed because their jumpers weren't falling and they had nothing to fall back on. Not just beat. But got their ass handed to them. Good teams have a paint game to fall back on. Good players start to get to the rim when their jumper isn't falling. When Portland's jumpers aren't falling, game over.

Most good teams don't have their top 2 Centers out because of injury. It also doesn't help that our PF prefers to play outside.

Chicago is just as much a jumpshooting team as the Blazers, they just happened to make their shots last night.

He's not a center. He's a borderline PF.

 

[craigehlo]

Boston is a jump shooting team

I watched the Boston game before this one tipped off. They went inside on almost every play I saw in the 1st quarter. With KG or Rondo slashing.

 

[illmatic99]

6 steals and 5 blocks between Roy and LA in the first half!

That's encouraging.

Nic needs a pick me up this second half.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really like how LA has been playing.

 

[illmatic99]

My only plea for Nate with this Nic benching is to not shatter all of his confidence. He's playing bad, but keep him encouraged.

I don't want us losing Nic because Nate alienates him like he did some of our players in the past.

I would really like to know why Nate coddles him so much. Is it because he's young and he doesn't want him to lose confidence?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Armon Johnson with 13 first half minutes! More than any full game for him. Love how he looks out there. Kid is a player in this league.

 

[craigehlo]

I really like how LA has been playing.

That postup move where he scored over the double team was a thing of beauty. He defense is solid as well.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice. I hope that gets Nic started.

 

[Natebishop3]

Man, Roy has had some great looks from Miller and he just hasn't been able to convert.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is Delfino wearing eye liner?

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice shot by LMA!

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice board by LMA! Man he's being physical now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Man, the Bucks don't have a bad team at all and that place is a tomb.

 

[craigehlo]

Comcast broadcast just went down

 

[Natebishop3]

Technical difficulties?!?! Stop the game right now!

 

[MickZagger]

There we go! Now were starting to play some good ball.

This Milwaukie team could easily be top 5 in the East.

 

[Idog1976]

Hey HCP, tell your buddies to fix our comcast action, television is down!

 

[ehizzy3]

comcast blows

 

[Idog1976]

Nice board by LMA! Man he's being physical now.

LMA has played the way I've been wanting to see for two games now. Please LMA keep up this pace!
