SUNS @ BLAZERS -- GAME THREAD

[illmatic99]

LOL Barkley.

 

[KingSpeed]

Miller must go.

 

[blue32]

Miller must go.

dude, you've said that a shit load of times already, drop it ;P

 

[KingSpeed]

Props to Blake. His three point shooting got us back into the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Best game of Webster's career and it's not even close.

 

[KingSpeed]

Hire Charles to coach us.

 

[KingSpeed]

You do have to hand it to Nate for riding out the guys that were getting it done. He stayed with Webster at PF for the whole 4th quarter!

 

[NJNetz]

I guess I was right; Bayless needs minutes.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Best game of Webster's career and it's not even close.

Yea ok....wrong

 

[KingSpeed]

Yea ok....wrong

Are you serious? So many key baskets. Amazing defense. A clutch block. Two clutch steals. And the rebound that won the game. His best performance by far. When has he had a better 4th quarter? Answer: Never.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hire Charles to coach us.

It'll be just like the Bad News Bears, with Barkley as Walter Matthaeu's drunken coach!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Barkley calling out Nate.


Saying he is better than some of the guys playing in front of him.

Barkley and Smith calling out our coaches

I dropped the stream at the end of the game, were they saying they need to put B-Rex in as a starter?

 

[KingSpeed]

AND he did it from the power forward position, rescuing us when we had no depth to turn to.

Probably his best overall game in terms of rebounding, defending, taking it to the hoop, as well as hitting timely shots. He had a very good game.

To be fair, "THE" quarter was better than this 4th quarter. But still, he was fantastic late tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

They were amazed that a guy with as much talent as him was playing only 11 mpg behind "some of the guys ahead of him."

 

[KingSpeed]

I dropped the stream at the end of the game, were they saying they need to put B-Rex in as a starter?

They were just saying that Bayless is better than the guys who have been playing ahead of him and that he should be playing more than the 11 mpg he's been averaging this season.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

lol

You and many others.

I disagree. Yes, he hit a bunch of shots in a row, but it was Outlaw who put that game away in the 4th. Webster was doing his magic in the 4th tonight and it's not just about shots. It's about defense and rebounding. And he got it done for us. He's really a SG and he played PF for us tonight and actually dominated while doing it.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I can get behind that. He really cleaned up his defense from the first half and was really doing a nice job as a hustle player out there.

I REALLLLLLLY want to see it happen more than just once every couple or three games. If he could at least bring that kind of hustle every night and just play OK on offense he'd be exactly what this team needs right now.

 

[FeloniusThunk]

I dropped the stream at the end of the game, were they saying they need to put B-Rex in as a starter?

They were saying he's better than the guys in front of him and deserved more minutes before tonight, but not directly that he should be the starter. I like them both, but I believe they would have been said exactly nothing about this if JB only scored 10.

 

[illmatic99]

You and many others.

Just about all of the Blazers' fan base.

 

[KingSpeed]

lol

what's so funny? Didn't you watch the game? Clutch shots. Clutch defense. Clutch rebounding. A complete game.

 

[Nikolokolus]

They were amazed that a guy with as much talent as him was playing only 11 mpg behind "some of the guys ahead of him."

Yeah I've been amazed too.

And just think we were fretting a couple of weeks ago about Jerryd possibly demanding a trade.

 

[KingSpeed]

No doubt.

[KingSpeed]

It's not a fucking fluke that Webster was a +18 tonight. The guy was incredible.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Bayless was clearly huge - but there's no question that Martell's hustle plays were every bit as important. Great energy from Webster!

 

[craigehlo]

If the Suns had a legit center, not a PF playing out-of-position, this could very well be a loss. We can't dig an early hole like this on the road trip and expect to win.
