HCP tweeted this:

 

[MickZagger]

LMA didn't help -- Most of his attempts were fadeaways from the 6'7" Ron Artest.

Soft!

Agreed.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

He said 2 of the refs called it a 3 initially. But then one of them overturned it and said it was a 2.

Then they replayed it, saw it was a clear 3, and then called it a 2.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He was in foul trouble. Do you even watch the fucking games?

He was fading the ENTIRE game, not just the final 15 min.

 

[pinwheelempire]

and HCPs photo got tons of RTs on twitter hahahah

 

[illmatic99]

i can get one up in about 20 min, have to wait for LP to archive it

Awesome! Thanks, man.

Bullshit. He had plenty of post drives to his right and was scoring on them. Then Howard started rotating over and took away that move, and LMA would kick the ball out.

Clean up the language.

Now he thinks he's a mod...

go make another Gonzaga thread.

I agree, I think he does too much of that. I don't know the stats on that shot, but it doesn't seem to be very sucessful. He reminds of of Rasheed, looks so great when he is aggressive in the post, but likes to shoot outside. Why aren't there more Kevin McHale / Zach Randolphs in the league? Seems everyone wants to be a jump shooter.

Bullshit. The few time he did drive into the paint he still managed to fade on his babyhook.

He had two moves in this game: bump-bump-fade and bump-bump-drive right-fadeaway babyhook.

Soft and predictable.

Do you kiss your mom with that dirty mouth?

This. Not to mention they were fouling the crap out of us in the paint and getting away with it.

I'm ok with LaMarcus taking fadeaways over shorter players if he at least backs in to about 12ish feet. I don't like fadaways from outside of 15 feet. He might as well be shooting a 3 at that point. His turnaround is money from inside 15.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

LMA didn't get tough to any Laker player.

But he sure did go after a ref.

What an idiotic post.

 

[PapaG]

It does say a lot about a few posters in that after a game that was one of the worst officiated games ever, they are either bashing a Blazer player (Fez Whatshisname) or trolling other posters (we all know who that is).

Don't forget to include the guy who caught his own airball.

We had Randolph and everyone wanted him gone.

Thank you! Hate it when people post BS like that.

Guys, I'm Flabbergasted. I saw the replay at the game, it was clearly a three, I'm completely flabbergasted. What is the point of instant replay???

 

[LuckyShot]

lol that play was great. I was like, oh so it's ok to pass the ball to ourselves now. I knew they let a lot of traveling and palming go....

That's a little over the top. Even for you.

Kind of surprised that three NBA refs would miss such an obvious call. I probably shouldn't be, but I am. I was also surprised by the isolation turnover called on MWP. Rarely do you ever see that.

 

[Haakzilla]

...FUCK!

 

[MickZagger]

Olynyk is the boost this franchise so desperately needs.

I gotta admit, that was pretty hilarious. We also got away with holding Dwight on one rebound late... But damn so many awful calls and non-calls.

Blaze Proph, cool your jets.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Do we even have a chance if he's so fucking good?

 

[illmatic99]

Can you three take your hissy fits to PMs? Where are the mods?

 

[Chuck Taylor]

So many bad or non-calls. But you have to really question what is going on when 3 refs can't get the replay right. The only excuse I can think of for that is Tim Donaghy-esque.
