Magic @ Blazers Game Thread

[Darkwebs]

Wow. We are playing with energy and hustle!

 

[MickZagger]

This is the best we've played in a while. Miller is on pace for a triple double.

 

[MickZagger]

Wesley Matthews is a fucking treat to watch! Move over Batum, I've found my new favorite Blazer.

 

[Darkwebs]

Great D by Camby on Howard, forcing the 3 in they key.

 

[VenomXL]

LA's outside jumper just isn't there tonight, but I like the rest of his game so far.

 

[Darkwebs]

The old Roy would've gotten that loose ball...sad.

 

[cdub503]

that was kinda of painful to watch broy try and run for that ball but couldnt really run...

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Roy at PG is really slowing us down. We're stagnating.

 

[VenomXL]

Nice dunk by Vince there.

 

[MickZagger]

Anybody else see Roy grimace on that last play?

Yup.

The Blazers have extended the lead, and Miller played great as well. Why can't people just enjoy a lead?

Guys. I'd rather not have him diving to the floor with those tricky knees. I thought it was a smart move to let the player bring the ball back into the half court and force up a late in the clock shot.

Indeed! This has been a fun game so far.

Perhaps, Roy should be limited to 20 minutes a game from now on. I don't know what the Blazers can do.

I see what you're saying, but you could almost literally see Roy's brain say "GO!" while his body said "NO!".

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nice dunk by Vince there.

It's easy when you're man can't move to cut off your lane.

 

[VenomXL]

Howard is trying to take the game over again. We need to keep this buffer going into the fourth.

Carter is having a bad night so far. If you're going to blast Roy for one dunk he allowed, shouldn't you give credit for the rest of his defensive game?

im glad he didnt jump on the floor either but the fact he couldnt even attempt to beat his man was what i was more pointing at rather than him jumping onto the floor

I agree with Chuck Barkley. See if Howard can score 50 to beat you.

 

[VenomXL]

We could have had a better shot there, but I'll take it. Nice third quarter by the Blazers, finally!

 

[alex42083]

haha... Roy just goes 1 on 5. He had no intent on passing that one with Rudy right there.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I haven't noticed him doing anything special to Carter. VC just looks like he's not really in the game ... probably because everything is running through Howard.

Roy has never been fast, so why should we assume he is faster then Pietrus even if 100% healthy? Also factor in that Pietrus had a much better position than Roy to get there first anyway.

 

[Darkwebs]

Joel!!!

That's cool. I guess I just don't watch the game looking for reasons to criticize players on the team I want to win and the team that I follow with passion.

How about that big line-up? I think Roy/Matthews should be the back-up PG.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dwight did that on purpose- he wants revenge for the Olympic dunk.

 

[Darkwebs]

We are displaying some nice ball movement. The Orlando defense looks confused.

 

[PapaG]

No lane violation on Przy's 2nd FT? I guess you can just step in and out of the lane now.
