Merged: Blazers vs Celtics game thread

[Wheels]

is Martell my new Travis and Blake?

 

[Darkwebs]

Martell nearly lost the ball 3 times driving towards the hoop. but at least he drew free throws.

 

[EGame]

lol Aldridge. Give it up.

 

[Rodolfo]

Marty for Threeeeeee! oh wait, it doesn't mean shit.

 

[Darkwebs]

Finally Martell hits a 3.

 

[illmatic99]

What do you mean?

You do realize Sheed played here for 8 years, don't you?

 

[Darkwebs]

Let's get Mills in there.

 

[Crimson the Cat]

Not sure where you're getting that mins count, but Roy has played 34+ tonight.

Yikes. I hadn't refreshed my stats page.

 

[Darkwebs]

Wow. We really stunk tonight.

 

[CelticKing]

You do realize Sheed played here for 8 years, don't you?

of course, hence I mentioned the reputation he gets with the refs.

but he didn't deserve half the technicals this year. (and yes I watched that season with the blazers when he broke the record for most technicals)

 

[Darkwebs]

Should Roy start coming off the bench? At least until he's right again?

 

[Crimson the Cat]

Sorry, but he played 33 of the first 42 minutes. That's reckless on McMillan's part.

He can try to get his rhythm back when he gets healthy...not a second before. It cost us the game tonight. Roy and McMillan made everyone on the floor with him worse tonight. We played our best basketball tonight the 9 minutes that Roy was out (the last 6 minutes of the game doesn't count).

Roy's a professional and so is his coach. I won't pretend to know what's an appropriate amount of court time for him. It sounds to me like playing isn't going to worsen his injury, so ...

 

[EGame]

I'm in favor of Bayless starting again until Roy gets fully healthy. He is not there yet.

 

[EGame]

Rudy

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy is still in a slump.

 

[CelticKing]

I hate it how much attention that prick Tiger is getting.

 

[Darkwebs]

Mills is a shooter

 

[mgb]

Start Roy as long as his he's healthy enough to play.

 

[EGame]

Start Roy as long as his he's healthy enough to play.

He isn't healthy, it showed today really.

 

[southnc]

Points in garbage time don't count.

 

[CelticKing]

good luck rest of the season guys, hope you go deep into the playoffs

 

[mgb]

He isn't healthy, it showed today really.

Then he shouldn't play, but if he can play start him. He has to play through it. Doesn't mean Bayless can't be the first off the bench.

 

[mgb]

Hey, we'll get revenge in the finals!

 

[julius]

At this point, we should be more worried about making the playoffs.

 

[EGame]

That is one way to look at it, or we could rest him so he doesn't risk further injury on the hamstring. If he isn't going to bring much to us (and he let his guy blow by him a lot) then you rest him and don't play him through it.

 

[mgb]

I blame it on Camby!

I have no problem resting him. I just think if he's healthy enough to go he should start. I don't think they would allow him to play if it could get worse doing so. Of course the Blazers have let players play when they shouldn't of, but I don't know enough about his injury to say if he should play or not.

 

[CelticKing]

Hey, we'll get revenge in the finals!

haha hey anyone but the lakers in the finals

 

[DUB]

Rondo hurt us early, and Allen killed us late; but mostly this one's on us.

 

[RoyToy]

Beyond annoying at this point watching the Blazers try to play through all these injuries. Ridiculous.
