OT: Suns @ Utah Game Thread

[KingSpeed]

If the Suns win, we're in first place. Though if the Jazz win, we get closer to the Suns. At the moment, only the Suns and Lakers have a better record than us out west. Isn't that crazy? Either outcome tonight benefits us in some way but I'm going to root for Phoenix. I want to see us at the top of the division.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Can we please postpone this and talk about this kind of shit in March?

 

[KingSpeed]

Why not talk about it all season long? Every game is important.

 

[gambitnut]

I'm happy with either outcome. I want Oklahoma City to come back and the Clippers to put more distance between us and the Spurs.

 

[Minstrel]

Why not talk about it all season long? Every game is important.

Because it will clutter the forum if we have game threads for every game in the NBA that impacts Portland's playoff positioning. If you want one "Out of town games" thread that you post your thoughts about non-Blazers games in each night, that's fine. But please don't make a new thread for every game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Okay. I won't do it for every game. Thought people might care about us taking the lead. Go Suns!

 

[KingSpeed]

At least I posted about basketball. There's that long Zack Addy thread that has nothing to do with Zack Addy or basketball.

 

[KingSpeed]

posted something here that was meant for another thread

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn, OKC. They suck. Will they win 15 games this season? And what's Durant doing about it? I always believe that a great player plus 11 scrubs should be able to win half their games. I thought Durant was supposed to have an immediate impact. Couldn't the Thunder have gone 1-10 without him? So what's he doing to help the team?

 

[KingSpeed]

I take most of that back. The Wolves sucked two years ago with KG. Cs sucked with Pierce two years ago. Heat sucked with Wade and Shaq. Maybe I'm too harsh on Durant.

Hey King, I'm in my hotel here in SF watchin' the game too! Go Suns!

Nice! Looks like it's going to be a good finish.

I didn't understand that. It would be hard to sliding a phone book under any of those guys. Do some defy gravity?

 

[KingSpeed]

Isn't it amazing that Grant Hill still plays? He had all those injuries and surgeries, year after year after year. Looked like he would never play again. And now he is and for a good team. Remember when people said he was the next Jordan? Him, Stackhouse, Carter.

Wow.. Shaq got capped. We need Paul Millsap.

 

[KingSpeed]

You beat me to it. We should've drafted him. He's exactly what we need.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh my. Well, that pulls us closer to the Suns.

 

[KingSpeed]

That block was awesome. Shaq is getting owned.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. Utah has only lost 1 home game in all of 2008. We beat em there last year without LMA. Webster had 25 pts.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jazz are good.

 

[gambitnut]

Spurs pulling away as well. Not much help for the Blazers from the rest of the league tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Clippers 1-9

 

[THE HCP]

Weren't thy supposed to battle us for the #8 seed?

 

[KingSpeed]

Yep. Are they really this bad? 1-9? Hard to believe with the talent they have.
