Merged: Blazers vs. Timberwolves Game Thread 11/15

[HOWIE]

Wow, that was a completely underserved win, but I'll take it!

I think that while they didn't play lights out, it is nice to see they can win ugly games too. I'd chalk this up as a gutsy win. I think that the team will grow from it, so it really is beter than a blowout win if you are looking at the big picture.

A win is a win is a win!!!!!!

Nice road trip huh!!!!!

 

[ironcrotch]

30 mins for the GS game? F Colin Cowherd btw...

Fuck Gavin Dawson too.

Whoever said he can lick 'bonch' said it best.

 

[crowTrobot]

Jazz lose, first in the NW!

in spirit maybe, technically no since we're 0-1 against them.

 

[KingSpeed]

Where did Fez go? Did I jinx the game? Fez must be pissed that we won.

 

[B-Roy]

Where are the Outlaw haters???? Where are they? Outlaw irrelevant?

Terrible shot, but glad it went in. The steal was nice though. Play of the game IMO.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great shot. That's his shot.

 

[crowTrobot]

Probably the same amount that are coursing him for the Telfair+picks/Garnett trade.

garnett was gone anyway. they did about as good as they possibly could have in that trade getting jefferson.

 

[HOWIE]

Impressive win when you think about it.

On a night where... LaMarcus and Rudy combine to score 9 points.

and they still win, I'll take it!

 

[maxiep]

Seriously. We need to find a screen cap of McHale with his head between his legs they were showing on screen.

LOL! That was freaking great!

 

[KingSpeed]

Al was 12 of 16. Amazing that we win. He led the Wolves with only 6 rebounds though.

I wanna see Greg start now.

 

[HOWIE]

When is Webster suppose to be back.....is there going to be any room on this roster.....we're going to be playing 10-11 deep.

It's possible to like Travis, but think that his highest value is as a trade piece.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Roy is a stud. I think we already knew that. But worth affirming.

Which is why I think it's crazy that people were asking the ludicrous, recockulous question of whether or not he is expendable with Rudy on the team now.

 

[maxiep]

Al was 12 of 16. Amazing that we win. He led the Wolves with only 6 rebounds though.

The lack of rebounds came from having to battle Przy and GO all night.

You're welcome

I think that we'll see it sooner than later, how many minutes did Greg play on his first NBA back to back? And to think he is still rusty and just scratching the surface.

Terrible shot, but glad it went in. The steal was nice though. Play of the game IMO.

Horrible play, not horrible shot. When you give the guy the ball with three seconds left on the shot clock what did you want him to do? Make it? Oh yeah he did.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lakers only have 1 more win than us.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's possible to like Travis, but think that his highest value is as a trade piece.

Then how would we win the close games. The stats are irrefutable.

brandon roy. he is the best closer on the team. period

Either Travis gets traded or Batum heads to the bench.

 

[PapaG]

Batum is headed toward the bench. It's not like he has played so well he can't be replaced by Martell.

 

[Minstrel]

Outlaw sure stirs passions on this forum.

Sweet win. I was worried Portland was gonna sleepwalk away a winnable game.

 

[HOWIE]

Looking forward to Golden State, game is on normal TV. I just noticed that I was watching a feed that was about a minute slower than Comcast. Everyone is saying nice shot Travis and I was "what are they talking about?" then he hits the shot. Kinda funny since I was posting with everyone from the 4th QTR on and my posts were a littls slow......nice to know it wasn't just me.

 

[KingSpeed]

Either Travis gets traded or Batum heads to the bench.

Not entirely true. Webster starts. Batum comes off the bench at SF. Outlaw comes off the bench at PF. Frye doesn't play.

 

[PapaG]

brandon roy. he is the best closer on the team. period

I love B-Roy, but even he admitted that last night he didn't even know if he had a TO left or not. If Travis admitted that, this board would be Santa Barbara right now.

hahahahahahaha!

Oh, dear. Yours is not a rational response. Life will go on after TO. We'll get real talent in return and other players will step up.

so you think outlaw is a better closer than brandon roy?

 

[KingSpeed]

What's good is that the coaching staff knows what Travis is about. He is calm and cool in the 4th and he has hit so many amazing shots for us in the 4th of games.
