SUNS @ BLAZERS -- GAME THREAD

[maxiep]

Wow. He gets lifted by Stoudemire into the circle and Bayless gets called for the foul.

Do the refs think the Suns are wearing Purple & Piss?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Wow nice charge taken by Bayless too bad the refs can't see.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Now THAT he learned from Blake

 

[santeesioux]

Refs hating on Bayless all the way around.

 

[julius]

wtf. Jerry was outside the circle.

I think it's because he jumped up a bit, into Amare.

 

[B-Roy]

I hope he doesn't get pulled because of his mistakes.

 

[B-Roy]

I think it's because he jumped up a bit, into Amare.

More like Amare hit him so he fell.

 

[FeloniusThunk]

I guess Jerryd's getting the rookie calls.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Now would actually be a good time to pull him.

 

[MARIS61]

Anyone else notice how odd the reffing is? It's weirdly inconsistent. Non-calls for both teams, and then kind of ticky-tack calls the next minute.

For an explanation, read "Blowing the Whistle" by Tim Donaghy.

 

[B-Roy]

Now would actually be a good time to pull him.

For who? -9 Blakey?

 

[julius]

More like Amare hit him so he fell.

Watch the replay, he jumped up.

btw, anyone else feel as though there is way too much time left in the quarter?

 

[alex42083]

We can't get any charge calls.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I hope he doesn't get pulled because of his mistakes.

Oh you mean for pulling a Jarret Jack special? Yeah, I'd rather he gets a chance to play through a rough patch. His biggest issue is getting actual time and learning on the court. If it gets too out of hand he'll have to pull him though. Piling up a ton of mistakes can have the opposite effect and hurt his confidence.

 

[KingSpeed]

oh lord

now we can't trade him

 

[B-Roy]

You gotta be joking, ANOTHER injury?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Why not

 

[julius]

No Buck Williams wearing goggles? Sure, that was mostly a Portland thing..

we seem to be slow on rebound and loose balls.

 

[maxiep]

Now Miller's hurt? At some point you just have to laugh.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Jesus. Of course the injury bug finally catches Miller this year on this team.

 

[julius]

It seems that the announcer can't decipher black players from other black players.

 

[KingSpeed]

Call me a "hater" all you want, but I don't see anyone (but Maris) jumping to support your claim that Blake is a great lob passer. Miller, however, is renowned for that particular skill. As usual, I'll trust the experts over your undocumented claim. Thanks for your opinion, though.

You don't watch the games. Watch this if you doubt his ability:

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yep, he usually gets an alley oop to Roy too from time to time. I'd put money on the fact that Blake has thrown more alley oops than anyone else on the team.

Alley oops? The way Blake has been shooting, I'm pretty sure those plays that end as "alley oops" are really just errant shots by Blake that our guys adjust to and clean up.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Too bad we can't get our hands on that Frye kid.

 

[KingSpeed]

Bayless may start as PG sooner than we thought.

 

[santeesioux]

It seems that the announcer can't decipher black players from other black players.

Lol write an angry letter, you might be able to get him suspended like the Clippers announcers were with the Iranian player.

 

[KingSpeed]

Alley oops? The way Blake has been shooting, I'm pretty sure those plays that end as "alley oops" are really just errant shots by Blake that our guys adjust to and clean up.

You clearly don't watch the games.

 

[alex42083]

haha.. Phoenix announcer thought Tolliver was Webster.. geez

 

[KingSpeed]

new Blazer! Anthony Tolliver!

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

WTF, Blake comes in, we go down big again
