Opening Night..... Blazers vs Suns Game Thread 10/26/10

[Nikolokolus]

Man, I love J-chill's game.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nic must of been traded in the first quarter for a conditional 2nd rounder or something?

 

[cdub503]

Not worried bout that trade at all.

 

[craigehlo]

Andre & Roy are a terrible defensive backcourt.

 

[Nikolokolus]

There is that efficient offense at work. Brandon with a fade away 3 at the shot clock buzzer

You appear to be in some distress my good man

 

[BrianFromWA]

I said it a month ago, I said it a week ago, I'll say it today...

Roy. Matthews. Batum. At the same time.

Make it happen!

 

[illmatic99]

I swear Roy shoots the three better with a hand in his face.

I used to say the same about Reggie Miller.

And I want Nic back in there. He was so active! Take out Dre.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Shooting 50%, and 67% from 3, and we're up only two. Gotta work the D, boys.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Respect of the game T.....LOL

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nic and Chill guarding each other is interesting.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Andre's been under the hoop with the ball 3 times. 1 turnover, 1 jump ball, 1 ball sent to halfcourt.

 

[craigehlo]

Andre...clank. Then offensive foul.

Trade this guy.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Just not Andre's night.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I wish I could bet on things like "PHX scores after that offensive foul"

 

[Nikolokolus]

Roy and Miller together isn't looking so hot.

 

[craigehlo]

There's clearly no game plan with this lineup on offense. What did Nate do all summer?

 

[BGrantFan]

How long before Johnson starts over Miller?

Clown school?

 

[craigehlo]

I think the reason the bench looks good is that they don't know Nate's "system" yet.

 

[Mediocre Man]

How long before Johnson starts over Miller?

I think Matthews sooner than later

 

[craigehlo]

2nd half?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hahaha


I think it's because they simply push tempo

 

[Mediocre Man]

Matthews for Miller? I hope to God

 

[BGrantFan]

I think Matthews sooner than later

Johnson can run the point. Miller's "jump shot" has somehow regressed. Fuck. I'm in my 30s, and the one thing I do better than when I was young was make open shots.

 

[illmatic99]

Dre has game, but his skills just don't fit with this team.

 

[BGrantFan]

Hahaha


I think it's because they simply push tempo

Nate has been pushing tempo all game. He has Miller, who is the human game delay running the point, though. Get him the fuck out of there.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Matthews for Miller? I hope to God

D69 from clubblazers.com says that Philly is rumored to want Miller back. I wonder who we'd want off of their roster?

 

[Mediocre Man]

I agree with you. Matthews fits better with Roy though

 

[Mediocre Man]

I can't believe the Suns would go inside as soon as we took out our center?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Rice: "you can have LMA at center b/c Lopez isn't a post-up center"
(2 seconds later)
FTs for Lopez, after being fouled on the low block by LMA.
