Finally LA getting it going. Felton is out there killing our momentum with these misses.

it's interesting that Mathews gets to start the 2nd half, when hes shooting a cool 2 for 8

And just like that, drains a 3 to put us up 15!

3/9 and Batum is on the bench. I don't know.....

 

[JDC]

Okafor did a good job when on Aldridge in the first half. He only has one foul too, so not sure why they have Smith matched up with him now

 

[blue32]

and why is felton shooting three's....isnt he like 12% from deep this year?

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge setting the tone offensively so far this half

There you go

 

[B-Roy]

Wow @ that shot Felton.

Brain dead Felton.

 

[illmatic99]

Fuck Felton, he has to shoot that to keep defenses honest, but he's 6/42 on the season. He really needs to practice that.

12% and dropping.

Batum and Matthews are the only Blazer I want to see shooting from deep.

 

[illmatic99]

Did Nate take out the hottest guy again? ugh.

 

[craigehlo]

Wow @ that shot Felton.

Brain dead Felton.

He's been like an extra 1 1/2 feet away from the 3-point line too when jacking those up. Not good.

 

[craigehlo]

Nice call Nate. Take out LMA and the team crumbles.

 

[RoyToy]

Nate's suit is ugly as hell

 

[blue32]

Gotta love his rotations....

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously? Why take out Aldridge? Nate is fucking braindead.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

You want him to play LA for 48 minutes or what?

 

[B-Roy]

Gotta love his rotations....

I think he saw we were up 15 and wanted to get LA some rest. He played 47 minutes in Houston.

But as he goes out, the Hornets go on a run...

 

[BBert]

IMHO Felton's audition for the Blazers is over. Have fun in free agency next summer Ray.

He is anti-clutch, passes to our big man's shins, shoots crappy, misses wide open teammates....but he pushes the ball, so that's something.

 

[illmatic99]

You want him to play LA for 48 minutes or what?

No I want him to stay on the floor when he is ON FIRE!

 

[blue32]

You want him to play LA for 48 minutes or what?

Do I? Yes. I do. )

 

[illmatic99]

This is just like last game when we went away from the hot hand for no good reason.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Sooo... Nate puts LA back in, like everyone wants. And he picks up two quick fouls... SMH

 

[craigehlo]

You want him to play LA for 48 minutes or what?

No. But with Camby out, he's got to play some extra minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

Ayon is impressive...

 

[craigehlo]

Sooo... Nate puts LA back in, like everyone wants. And he picks up two quick fouls... SMH

And the lead went back to 11

 

[blue32]

because he got yanked while he was hot, cooled down, and now has to get into beast mode again

 

[XXPrimusXX]

No. But with Camby out, he's got to play some extra minutes.

True. But you don't want to wear him out on a long road trip.

 

[B-Roy]

Wow Okafor just dragged Aldridge into Jack.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

And the lead went back to 11

As in... We've scored 2 points since he checked back into the game. I lol'd.
