The Official Blazers vs Hawks Game Thread 7/17/13......

[RoyToy]

Amazingly Will Barton outplayed McCollum

 

[SlyPokerDog]

LOL!

"Blazers over the Young Improved Atlanta Hawks!"

 

[Rastapopoulos]

We OWN the fourth quarter!

 

[RoyToy]

Leonar with 5 rebounds this game

Improvement!!

 

[Boise Blazer]

CJ +11. I never doubted him for a SECOND!

FYI Shroeder -8

 

[RR7]

17 boards for Robinson. I love that. I think he can give us a lot of what we got out of Hickson, but without the negative overall impact.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You know what the key shot of the game was? That THREE BY MEYERS LEONARD!

 

[Natebishop3]

17 boards for Robinson. I love that. I think he can give us a lot of what we got out of Hickson, but without the negative overall impact.

But if you listen to Isiah Thomas, he's terrible.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

FYI Shroeder -8

I know, I know. But I love him just the same. He is 3 years younger than CJ, after all. And he hit BOTH his free throws at the end.

Right now Hickson is a better player than Robinson

I don't think many people would argue that, but this is S2.

Shroeder was amazing though. That kid's got some serious game. Reminds me of Rondo with shooting. He's what I envisioned Roddy Beaubois to become, but he looks better already

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I had the sound turned off - what did Isiah say?

 

[Boise Blazer]

I know, I know. But I love him just the same. He is 3 years younger than CJ, after all. And he hit BOTH his free throws at the end.

Haha I like Schroeder's game. I was actually surprised to see that stat

 

[santeesioux]

But if you listen to Isiah Thomas, he's terrible.

Given his track record, i maintain you should believe the exact opposite of what he says.

 

[BBert]

17 boards for Robinson. I love that. I think he can give us a lot of what we got out of Hickson, but without the negative overall impact.

Importantly, he won't have to be our starting center.

We hope.

A Will Barton play is so distinctly....Will Barton...there's no other way to describe it.

Reminds me of this

[video=youtube;Mc2vQ7biu94]

 

[Boise Blazer]

Its been said before but if someone can work with TRob and make his jumper even respectable he could be a hell of a player in this league. For now its going to be fun to watch him rebound like a mad man off the bench.

I wish I'd seen it.

Does anyone know if / when the game will be televised?

Smart.

Fuck that was a weak dig at CJ

 

[Natebishop3]

Just ragged on him the whole game. He was Isiah's favorite whipping boy.

Pretty sure it's on at 10:30 tonight.

 

[BBert]

Pretty sure it's on at 10:30 tonight.

Thanks. I'll keep checking.

Nba tv has it on late

I don't think many people would argue that, but this is S2.

TRob as a backup PF >> Hickson as a starting C

that is the relevant comparison for next year. There's no shame in that for Hickson.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm going to say something now that will enrage everybody:





Both Meyers and Will Barton played pretty well.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Isiah was a complete idiot, but where he really lost me was on this line: "Leonard has a really good feel for the game".

 

[magnifier661]

Why would that enrage me? I want them both to play well. I just want Leonard to stop playing like a pussy. I had no real beef with Barton. He's third string at best.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Both Meyers and Will Barton played pretty well.

What's worse than a player who plays badly all of the time?
A player that plays badly 2/3 of the time.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So... we're sticking with the T-shirt jerseys after this, right?
