Pistons vs. Blazers Game Thread

[MARIS61]

Rudy is the best defender we have in the lanes.

 

[MickZagger]

Rudy's looking like Pistol Pete tonight.

 

[MickZagger]

Look at this 2nd unit out in transition!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nice effort by the bench tonight. Just nice.

:applause:

Rudy is balling, and Dante has 8 points in the 4th quarter. The bench really needed this lift, and Rudy, Dante, and Armon (with Matthews playing good defense) have flat-out produced tonight.

 

[VenomXL]

That's what I'm talking about!

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy is dropping some beautiful dimes! Pistons suck at D.

 

[B-Roy]

Damn LMA

19/17/3/2/1

Rudiculous!

 

[BGrantFan]

I know we're somewhat forced to play Dante, but I would really explore playing Batum at 4 instead of Dante. He's a liability on both ends.

Two posts in this thread, both anti-Dante, who now has 8 points in the 4th quarter. I love this place!

I wonder how today's blazers would do vs. Sunday's lakers?

Roy is getting extended rest. Nice for the tough upcoming roadtrip.

 

[BGrantFan]

Roy played very good defense on Hamilton and basically took him out of the game.

 

[BGrantFan]

Why is Camby in the game?

 

[BGrantFan]

Huge 4th quarter for Dante. 10 points on 5-5 shooting.

Or against today's lakers, who are only up by 3 on minnesota...

Well, we seem to take care of business against the bad teams, but we're struggling against the good teams. Just need to put it together.

That's efficiency right there. Love it!

Great win. Just what the Blazers needed. This is still a good team, no matter how negative people here try to portray them.

We need to win one of the next 2 games. Both the Thunder and Hornets would be good teams to beat.

Yeah, if they could just get rid of that bum Andre Miller, they'd be golden.

Great. I'm not changing my position just because he played well in garbage time. Give me a break.

 

[Nikolokolus]

It's a crappy Pistons team, but it does feel good to see the Blazers really handle them like this with both units. Hopefully they carry this with them into OKC and get a little bit of revenge.

The Blazers took that much energy from the Lakers, rendering them a shell of themselves against the Wolves.

 

[BGrantFan]

The 4th quarter in a 10-point game is "garbage time"? Dante will be around a 17 PER after this game. That is effective, and frankly, your position seems flawed.

 

[BGrantFan]

Huh? Miller played very well tonight. He played Stuckey about even, which is fine with me. I had an issue with his 10 shots/1 assist 2nd half/OT against OKC. Other than that, he's playing fine IMO.

 

[MickZagger]

Rice, Patti never played for the Zags.

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy for CHALUPAS!!!!

Yes, it's garbage time. This game was never within the Pistons grasp. Aldridge was the only starter who played in the 4th quarter. And my position isn't just based on this game, it's for his play so far this season.

 

[BGrantFan]

It is so nice to see Rudy having fun on the court again. Aldridge was the player of the game, but Rudy was a close second, IMO.
