Opening night at Madison Square Garden: Blazers Game Thread

[Natebishop3]

Who the hell is Bill Walker.....

 

[Mr. J]

Man.. he looked hella soft that first possession inside when he saw Camby. He took a fadeaway hook from the baseline that way off. Yuck.

Yeah...I think his problem is more mental though.

 

[Mr. J]

Who the hell is Bill Walker.....

lol the guy we traded Nate for. He's hella talented but hella raw.

 

[alex42083]

NY sure has a bunch of scrubs on the floor.. Douglas, Chandler, Walker, Turiaf and Felton?? yikes..

 

[Natebishop3]

Time to switch to the Ducks.... I'll pop back and forth.

 

[illmatic99]

Good quarter for us.

 

[Mr. J]

How you guys liking Chandler for Rudy now?

 

[axs88]

How you guys liking Chandler for Rudy now?

Do it. Do it now.
By the way, Frazier is my favourite color commentator in the league. Very insightful and unbiased. Sort of the anti-Mike Rice. Although Rice is more entertaining

 

[illmatic99]

What happened to our outside shooting? We're missing wide open Js really badly.

 

[Darkwebs]

Chandler single handedly destroyed us in the past 5 minutes. Scoring and rebounding at will. Can someone please box him out?

 

[XXPrimusXX]

How you guys liking Chandler for Rudy now?

Meh.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Did they take that foul away from Stoudamire?

 

[Darkwebs]

Matthews doesn't have good enough handles to play PG

 

[Blazer4ever]

I think it's obvious Mathewss can't be in that Point-Guard role behind Andre Miller. If not Armon Johnson, then probably Rudy.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Matthews doesn't have good enough handles to play PG

Well it's best to find out now. If he can't handle the off-guard spot alongside Roy as a defacto point guard then I imagine Cho is going to try and take steps to address that position before the trade deadline.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

LA is missing several point blank shots. It's like he can't jump tonight.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I think it's obvious Mathewss can't be in that Point-Guard role behind Andre Miller. If not Armon Johnson, then probably Rudy.

Rudy's handle is extremely weak when he's pressed, and he's got no left. Matthews isn't looking too hot, but Rudy is no better.

 

[B-Roy]

Roy is amazing...

 

[illmatic99]

Still no sign of Nic.

I think Nate is confused again.

 

[Darkwebs]

Uh oh. Where's our 4th quarter dominance? I'm getting worried just a bit; we've been turning it quite a bit in the past couple minutes

 

[Nikolokolus]

Still no sign of Nic.

I think Nate is confused again.

16 minutes, zero personal fouls, 3-5 shooting ... yeah, I'm not getting it either.

 

[illmatic99]

Refs aren't helping either, with these bullshit fouls.

 

[illmatic99]

Nate is losing this game by keeping our best defender on the bench.

 

[Darkwebs]

We need to freaking box out!!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Hmmm ... not a whole lot of energy out of this bunch tonight. But I'll credit the Knicks they look pretty fired up for their home opener.

 

[Darkwebs]

C'mon blazers. Turn up that 4th quarter D

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nate blows.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, I just tuned back in. Why do we always overlook the Knicks and their scrub ass players?

 

[julius]

Still no sign of Nic.

I think Nate is confused again.

Yeah, why play him minutes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Brandon WAS fouled.
