Nuggests @ Blazers Game Thread 2/25/11

[EGame]

We have no playoff hopes if we just choose to keep shooting jumpers.

 

[illmatic99]

Dre got roasted on D right there. WTF.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Well it looks like teams have figured out how to slow down LA.

 

[tlongII]

Not enough guys tonight. Tough loss to a team you're battling for position.

 

[VenomXL]

They've been at four team fouls most of the quarter, sure would be nice to be hitting the free throw line right about now.

 

[KingSpeed]

We'll regret this loss at the end of the year. Cho's fault.

Relax. We'll even out once we get Camby and Crash. Roy has been encouraging tonight.

 

[julius]

So, the two teams that were supposed to get worse, are a potential 4-0 since their respective trades.

The team that was supposed to get better? Potentially 0-1, and losers of 2 straight. At home.

Hardly. But the trade has been bad timing.

Not really. He is getting doubled and tripled hard, not much he can do about that other then make the pass to the open man which he does. Unfortunately, our team is full of jump shooters and not very good ones at that.

Ummm, kind of hard to say that when the guy we traded for hasn't even played yet.

 

[KingSpeed]

Miller's ballhogging has totally slowed down the offense. Get the fucking ball to LMA.

We're scoring every time down. Defense is the problem,

 

[Rhal]

Gallinari has more fta then our entire team

 

[VenomXL]

No clutch buckets late, just like the Lakers game.

true. But you gotta let fans be hyperbolic.

We lose the season series. That is huge.

 

[VenomXL]

OK B-Roy.

 

[VenomXL]

You've got to be motherfucking kidding me.

Not our night. Mr. Airball gets a shot to rim in...

 

[B-Roy]

Close out on the shooter Aldridge....he's obviously not going to drive.

 

[julius]

I ask you this, when is Portland ever going to get a break?

 

[MadeFromDust]

Pretty much my point.

 

[maxiep]

So, your answer is to decline the trade? Really, Speed?

 

[oldguy]

Which one of Dre, Brandon, Rudy and Wesley was the power forward for the last couple of minutes?

Go Blazers

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Please don't use that word around the Blazers... *shudder*

 

[VenomXL]

I wonder what the point differential is in games that we've lost this season. It's got to be pretty small.

 

[KingSpeed]

This game will severely affect our playoff seedings. Check the standings in mid April and you'll know what I'm talking about.

 

[maxiep]

true. But you gotta let fans be hyperbolic.

Not really.

 

[Darkwebs]

I ask you this, when is Portland ever going to get a break?

I wouldn't ask for a break of any kind when we have such fragile players...

 

[B-Roy]

Holy...

You didn't answer my question.
