SPURS @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD

[ABM]

Confirmed. 3-Guard starting lineup. Blake, Roy, and Miller.

 

[B-Roy]

Disaster waiting to happen or...

McGenius?

If this lineup works....Nate might use it again....*shivers*

 

[Sean.ivity]

This should be interesting

 

[ABM]

Nate said on pre-game that he's doing this to jack up the tempo. He also said he's planning to use Jerryd tonight.

We shall see, we shall see.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Assclown!!!

 

[ABM]

Assclown!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm going to watch just like I can't help but stop and watch the aftermath of a car accident when I drive by ... this is going to be "epic"

 

[illmatic99]

If he wanted to up the tempo, he should have started Rudy, not Blake.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nate's lost some weight

 

[Nikolokolus]

If he wanted to up the tempo, he should have started Rudy, not Blake.

Or for chrissakes even Bayless. This unit is going to get absolutely murdered by Parker, Jefferson, and Ginobli ... holy balls I can't turn away no matter how much I know I should.

Anybody want to guess the over/under on when Oden picks up his second foul in the first quarter? I'm going to say 5 minutes.

 

[ABM]

Interestingly enough, Pops has countered by starting Bogans over Finley.

 

[ABM]

Blazers playing zone. Good D. Blake hits a quick trey and Pops immediately calls a timeout.

 

[ABM]

More good D. Foul on Parker after a near steal by the Blazers.

 

[ABM]

Guys, early on, this is a good Blazers lineup. Roy nails a 3. 6-0 Blazers.

 

[ABM]

8-0 Blazers.

 

[ABM]

Duncan breaks the streak with a jumper.

 

[ABM]

Ginobli in for Jefferson after only 3 minutes.

 

[santeesioux]

D'oh.

 

[ABM]

Oden looks confident Hits a nice one over Duncan.

10-4 Blazers.

 

[KingSpeed]

fucking refs. what is greg supposed to do? fuck

 

[ABM]

Ticky-tack on Oden. He'll now sit with two.

 

[santeesioux]

Nate didn't even get to wait til the six minute mark to bring in Pryz.

 

[Mediocre Man]

As ticky tacky as they were, those were legit fouls on Oden

 

[Chutney]

Sweet, this game's televised up here. I'll participate in this thread.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

fucking refs. what is greg supposed to do? fuck

My thoughts exactly. You can tell he's going to get a foul at least 5 seconds before it happens, then the whistle blows.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

How the fuck is anyone going to call that a foul on Oden? Both were bullshit. Big guys can't bang anymore?

 

[KingSpeed]

Whoa. Roy on a catch and shoot from Miller?

 

[Chutney]

I actually don't mind those jerseys. Not as good as your regulars, but they don't look that bad.

 

[Minstrel]

As ticky tacky as they were, those were legit fouls on Oden

You can call "legit fouls," based on the rule-book, pretty much every time down. If every big man was whistled as tightly as Oden is, there wouldn't be as much complaint about the refs. Teams could just avoid drafting big men, since they would be useless.

 

[KingSpeed]

I love the jerseys. We look really pumped up for this game. Miller is controlling the ball and Blake/Roy are scrambling to get open looks. Very nice.
