Should have left the guys in who got us the lead (Sergio, Bayless, Joel) not the weaker defenders Blake, Oden...who put us in the hole.

I agree.

Nice try Maris - lumping Sergio in with Bayless. BAYLESS D'd up, not Sergio.

Blake is playing well. Had a huge steal that led to a fastbreak score a few moments ago. Just hit a big three. 10 pts, 9 assts.

But the TEAM defended only after Sergio came in. He makes a team out of 4 guys standing around.

 

[KingSpeed]

there goes the game

 

[MARIS61]

And we throw away the lead immediately after Nate puts his favs back in.

Infuriating.

 

[Tortimer]

Blake can't guard AI.

 

[MARIS61]

Doesn't appear to be trying even.

 

[illmatic99]

I have said this at least five times in this thread: STOP SWITCHING YOU MORONS.

 

[KingSpeed]

LMA's gone cold after and otherwise good game.

 

[VenomXL]

Gee, if we made our free throws we'd be winning.

 

[Tortimer]

With Bayless and Joel in they were hustling and playing great defense.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Ugh. Blake can't stay with Iverson or Stuckey at all.

 

[VenomXL]

Re-fucking-bound.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh. Blake can't stay with Iverson or Stuckey at all.

either can LMA

Lazy! Switching on picks is leaving an inept Blake guarding a big. It's fucking common sense, to not switch, yet, we keep on doing it.

 

[Tortimer]

I know Nate wouldn't trust Bayless this late in a game but I think he could guard AI or Stuckey. He would at least be better then Blake.

 

[Nikolokolus]

either can LMA

That's not his assignment.

 

[Rodolfo]

Wow, Rudy!

 

[MARIS61]

Sweet save by Rudy!

 

[Tortimer]

Great rebound by Rudy.

 

[KingSpeed]

COME ON! GO BLAZERS! Who takes the shot???? TRAVIS!!!

 

[VenomXL]

Thank the lord Rudy came swooping in there.

 

[KingSpeed]

Who do you guys want to take the shot? LMA has been going cold. Rudy? Travis?? Joel?


Blake?

 

[bigbailes]

we switch everytime on everyplayer against every team. teams know this and take advantage. chalk that up to coaching

 

[Rodolfo]

I was preparing myself for him to dribble that off his foot.

 

[bigbailes]

great shot, BUT made his move way too early

 

[Tortimer]

Great shot by Outlaw but left to much time.

 

[KingSpeed]

That's my boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeez, that was not a good shot by Outlaw. But you have to give him props for that make. Great job, Travis.
