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

Dante is automatic with that mid-range J. I love it. Not many players have that anymore.

 

[ABM]

Cunningham = Mercy

 

[Nikolokolus]

Armon ... wow

 

[BrianFromWA]

so, for all the coaches out there, how long does it take to add an extra 4 feet to your jumper?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Armon!

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah, that Johnson guy sucks.

We-want, Jerr-yd! We-want, Jerr-yd!

 

[MickZagger]

Armon the starting PG by the end of the year?


Just sayin...

 

[MickZagger]

I already like Armon more than Bayless. Showing some nice leadership.

but, but, but he played for a school that didn't make the tourney.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh yes, THAT'S the Channing Frye that I remember!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wow, bad call on Johnson.

He will never make it here if he keeps running that break

 

[BrianFromWA]

It says something about a guy when you shoot more FTs in college than DWade.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Johnson, Armon Johnson.

 

[craigehlo]

Armon the starting PG by the end of the year?

Whoever we trade Andre's contract for.

 

[illmatic99]

That was a great fast break run by Armon

 

[Nikolokolus]

Wow, bad call on Johnson.

He will never make it here if he keeps running that break

He needs to dribble with his head down more too

 

[Natebishop3]

Matthews looks so small though. It's funny. How tall is he supposed to be?

 

[Nikolokolus]

He's 6'5", but he's built more like a tight end than a basketball player

 

[Natebishop3]

He's 6'5", but he's built more like a tight end than a basketball player

He looks like he's closer to 6'3.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

By the way--I can't watch this game because I'm stuck at school, and I hate you all because of my jealousy. But I thank you for your commentary in this thread, providing me the ability to follow the game (kinda).

As you were...

 

[Nikolokolus]

Christ, what is Wes doing? We don't run like that here.

 

[craigehlo]

Matthews is a one man fastbreak

 

[Mediocre Man]

Oh cool, here come the starters. Minus Batum of course

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Wesley Matthews is my favorite player on the team. You don't hear this word much in basketball, but he has the best motor I've seen on this team in a while.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yeah Nate, let Nic get nice and cold.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I think Wesley Matthews is my favorite player on the team. You don't hear this word much in basketball, but he has the best motor I've seen on this team in a while.

He's reminding me a little of Ron Artest.

 

[Natebishop3]

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

 

[Mediocre Man]

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

 

[Natebishop3]

He's reminding me a little of Ron Artest.

But without the crazy...

 

[craigehlo]

So Roy has now become a 3-point specialist?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He looks like he's closer to 6'3.

Pre-draft numbers:

6'4" w/o shoes
6'5.25" w/shoes
6'8" wingspan
