It's silly to complain about Roy, if we had won everyone would saying he had a great game, lol.

The lack of defense is the reason we lost, I have a serious bone to pick with Rudy and Sergio, but I'll make a thread about it. If we had won tonight it would have been because we are great offensively. It says a lot about our team that the star player can struggle in the first half and we're still in the game. This team is great, tough loss, and some bad choices down the stretch.
 
Disappointing loss. Blazers played surprisingly well despite not having their 3's falling. If you are a Magic fan you are loving the comeback. As a Blazer fan, I am just kind of scratching my head to figure out how we lost down the stretch. The loss spoils such a good night full of great plays by Aldridge, Roy, Rudy, Sergio and Pryz.

Oh? So you think it was the right move trying to force it with two guys trapping him? Now I see why you're posting on a message board instead of coaching in the NBA.

Not when he's being clearly double teamed. He had the ball, they were doubling, he gave it up and then they passed it back to him. When it was obvious they were going to double him, he should have passed it to Aldridge or Rudy. It was stupid to try to beat the double.

He took that shot ONLY because the shot clock was running down...didn't have time to pass.

I bet you're upset their Plus/Minus's are alot better than the starters tonight
 
LaMarcus the only starter with a +, Frye the only bench with a -.

Why did he have the ball in the first place? They were trying to deny Roy the ball. He's not our only choice on offense. Aldridge was on fire. Why not go to him? They had two guys on Roy the whole time... I don't understand why we decided to force feed him the ball.

And it would have to be a cross court pass that probably gets stolen starting a fast break the other way.

Check out +/- --- Roy one of the worst on the team. Oden and Blake were worse.

Nate's instincts to go to Blake and Roy to finish did not pay off.

Yeah, I say NEVER play Roy in the last five minutes of any games!!!

Are you fucking serious?

Leave it to PapaG to make it personal and ruin things, why did you say that to him? I can already see the direction that this thread is going in. I thought you had "learned your lesson". I thought we all agreed to stop this silly fighting since we are all on the same team here.:sigh:
 
I blame Outlaw for this loss, not for his defense on Hedo, but for throwing back to Roy in the corner with a double team coming forcing him to get trapped in the corner and take a impossible shot. I'd rather have outlaw drives it and get fouled than sit there and give it back to Roy.
 
Blame the play on McMillan if you want. The Blazers obviously weren't prepared for the double team.

Either way, tough loss. Not a huge deal.

I wasn't on the court and I didn't go for 30/9/5 in the game tonight.

I admit I don't have all of the answers, but the one criticism I saw from you was about Brandon Roy's choice on the last shot of the game. A game in which he played to win.

So again, I can see now why you are no longer paid to follow the NBA.

I don't even understand what you just said, but I'm not upset at all. I just think it was a silly loss for an inexperienced team.
 
i didn't see any of the game(it wasn't on here and i was watching the texas game anyway), but was it a good decision that the blazers went small half of the time? i realize that the magic are a team that likes to play small(with hedo and lewis at the forward spots together) but it seems like it would be a better idea to just player their normal game and use the size advantage rather than try to matchup and play into the magic's hands.

Sorry. You said you had a bone to pick with Sergio and Rudy...I was guessing what that may be
 
Great game for Sergio though. Hope he can build off of this performance.
 
You know on the play where Lewis got the three pointer? We had 4 guys around the ball on the rebound and Nelson just took it away...

Because I disagreed with his opinion, and because Nate Bishop is a public figure. I was told by the mods that criticizing public figures was OK.

You know damn well that isn't what they meant. But go ahead, continue ruining yet another thread.

Right, because I was criticizing his whole game tonight. Why are you even bringing up his stat line? I'm talking about the last shot of the game. But while we're talking about his whole game, how about you bring up the 5 missed freethrows? Would we have lost if Roy had made even three of those?

I'm saying there was a better option than Brandon Roy in the corner with a double team. Roy brought the ball up, he was being doubled, he passed the ball and they gave it back to him. I think it was a bad move.

Roy 30/9/5

Individual stats are meaningless, as this game proved.

We had the game under control and an 8 point lead with about 4 minutes to go, then Brandon started demanding the ball and doing his JJ impersonation.

Roy froze out Sergio for 3 minutes, ignoring him several times when he was wide open, preferring to keep going 1 on 2, then ignored everyone when Blake came back in. It was a WTF is he doing moment, and they are becoming more frequent lately.

Hugely disappointing and I hope Nate puts this on himself for not going with the guys who got us there.

Oh it's all good, I just didn't understand your post at first :). Actually my main problem with them is how they celebrate everytime they do something good, and turn their backs on the defense. Nate even brought this up tonight.

What other public figures post here? Denny Crane and Magnum are the only ones I can think of. What's your thoughts on Magnum's mustache? Too bushy? And that Denny Crane is too full of himself.. always saying "Denny Crane" like anyone cares.

dude brandon is our best player/only allstar...let the man be g'damit!
 
I missed the end of the game, but on ESPN shot chart it showed that we were up 108-100 and took nothing but threes to end the game while the Magic made three to win it? What happened? I couldn't figure it out from the game thread exactly.
 
HCP is a public figure...g'damn that guy!!! jk:)
 
I didn't want to tell anyone, but I am actually a well known plastic surgeon here in Vegas. I pretend to work on cars so nobody figures it out. Oh well, I am a public figure so feel free to bash, I don't mind.
