Pistons vs. Blazers Game Thread

[PtldPlatypus]

Aldridge has 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. I guess that's "not playing" for some people. If you guys are going to bitch about those stats, I'll just have to start mocking you.

I said "right now", meaning at that specific point in time, ie, before Aldridge started his 2nd quarter barrage. Most of those stats you referenced were 1st quarter. I wasn't saying that Aldridge was having a bad game. I was saying that the Blazers were having a rough stretch, except Miller.

I would like to take credit for Aldridge's strong finish to the half, since my post clearly motivated him.

So watching Roy in the first half, here is my two cents:

I don't think Roy is pouting or upset with the coaches or players. I think he has lost some explosion around the rim. Hope he gets it back . . . still a very effective SG, but what seperates him is that ability to create in the lane and score.

Miller has 2 assists. He's playing OK. Aldridge is playing like an All-Star, though.

Yes stat man . . . you're right

Roy with the drive and lay up . . . around Prince

I think he kind of caught them napping after he's been so quiet most of the game.

 

[BGrantFan]

Can't blame Miller for that flaming bag three attempt.

Roy with good defense on Rip leads to a fast break dunk by Batum!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Nic. I heart.

 

[BGrantFan]

Love how Rudy and LA ran over to Camby after that alley-oop to make sure he was OK.

 

[Nikolokolus]

A lineup with no Camby worries me a little bit. We'll see how it goes.

 

[BGrantFan]

Quiet thread. Not much action in a game thread when there aren't things to bitch about?

 

[MickZagger]

Were going cold again.

 

[BGrantFan]

Wesley Matthews is not playing well at all.

 

[MickZagger]

Stuckey just pulled a, "Welcome to the league, rook", move on Armon.

 

[BGrantFan]

I can't remember the last PG we had who could drive the floor and dunk for a finish.

Blake right?

 

[KingSpeed]

Scary game. They said the Pistons cut a 20 point 4th quarter lead to 1 against us last season. I don't remember that at all.

Did aJ do it?

I am in a hotel room in Florida. No game

 

[VenomXL]

Time to come out strong and finish this thing off.

 

[Darkwebs]

Blake right?

He said dunk for a finish, not get rim-checked.

 

[KingSpeed]

Blake right?

Rudy to Aldridge for the alley-oop, and then Rudy for 3!!!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

It seems like Rip Hamilton is washed up.

8 months ago:

Miller didn't drive the ball through traffic the length of the court on that dunk. Armon dribbled the length of the floor, split the lane, and dunked it.

 

[barfo]

What a pass by Rudy!

Dante hitting his shot. 4 points/2 boards/ 2 assists in 10 minutes.

Nice lift off the bench!

 

[MickZagger]

WTF? Aldridge finally playing like he has a motor.

 

[MickZagger]

Scary game. They said the Pistons cut a 20 point 4th quarter lead to 1 against us last season. I don't remember that at all.

I do. It was early in the year and one of the few games that Bayless played really well.

 

[MickZagger]

lol, Armon still has some things to learn.
