Heartache kids are back with this 4th qtr comeback shit, can we please get a damn blowout one of these games?

We won by double digits the first two games.

NY should have signed Sergio instead of Amare. Stoudamire gives them nothing they didn't have already.

They'd be a better team overall, and tens of millions of dollars richer.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Blazers yet again the definition of composure.

Strong start. 3-0

Can't wait to get Oden and Przybilla back.

 

[illmatic99]

All of Blazer nation was calling for Batum to come in, and our idiot coach finally put him in, and we came back to win.

Amazing.

Maris is my favorite poster of all time.

We're beating teams that will probably finish under .500. It is a good start, but they were all games we should win. So, we're taking care of business- which is good.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Terrible call. Camby fouled Amar'e.

No..

I'm not so sure the Knicks will finish below .500, not from what we saw tonight and in their game against Boston.

Any deficit in the 4th qtr is enough to make me into an anxious wreck, we've given up runs and gotten behind each 4th qtr before we lock it down and go on our run to win it... all I want is like a wire to wire 20pt lead... is that to much to ask?

How about a 8-12 point lead going into the 4th? I know what you mean.

My heart was racing for the majority of the 4th quarter.

True.

But when I look at the overall talent level of the Suns, Clippers and Knicks, it makes me wonder if any of them will reach .500.

Makes for a fun game.

Damn true. I know it does, just as long as the Blazers come away with the W.

 

[mgb]

Loved Miller's game! He was ice at the line.

 

[Natebishop3]

I just love how cool and calm our guys are in the fourth. I'd rather not need it, but the fact that they can just take over is really great to see. I also like that it seems like it's someone new every time. This time it was Miller.

 

[Shooter]

You gotta love the way the Blazers have pulled out their first 3 games in the fourth quarter. They're playing like a poised, confident team when it counts most. I like this team a lot. Let's go for 4-0!!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Batum +16 and only 28 minutes is my only huge gripe. Good win by the Blazers

Nate doesn't like the French.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nate doesn't like the French.

It honestly is baffling to me

 

[Natebishop3]

It honestly is baffling to me

Nate has spent too much time with Team USA. He has a severe hatred for anything French.

 

[illmatic99]

Our fourth quarter runs:

vs. Suns: 15-1
@ Clips: 15-0
@ Knicks: 17-3

That's pretty sick.

Hopefully we won't need it next game

Very good points.

I think it's because he's finding time for Cunningham, Rudy & Matthews.

 

[HailBlazers]

God we're going to be HUGE when Joel and Greg come back. It's almost not fair.

Scary good!

 

[Sug]

I am pretty happy with the 3-0 start, I was thinking earlier in the day about the last time we started the season 3-0. I was actually kind of surprised it was 10 years ago when the announced it during the game.

 

[Sinobas]

Nic is shooting 59% from the field 50% from threes, averaging 8.5 rebounds and 17ppg, and McMoron isn't even giving him 30 minutes per game? The Blazers seem to totally ignore him, and seem to be oblivious to what a talented player he is.

Matthews can have Rudy Sucknandez' minutes. Rudy should not even be a rotational player. I'd also like to see Armon get an opportunity to be the backup PG, I like his defense.

 

[Ed O]

As long as the team keeps winning? How can anyone REALLY blame Nate for not finding more minutes for any given player?
