The Super UnOfficial Blazers vs Flop City

[magnifier661]

Batum is playing really good tonighth

 

[The_Lillard_King]

There is Paul bitching to the refs

I personally have a hard time with Barton. He's so jitterbug. And not in a good way.

But having him play point guard....... it's like they're trying to provoke us.

I personally am hoping for Robinson to round into a decent player by mid-season, and cut down on some of the things he's not capable of.

And I'm hoping his playing time (and increasing playing time) comes at the expense of Leonard.

 

[Natebishop3]

Man, after that first half, if you would have told us we would turn the ball over 20 times in a half, I'd say we were getting blown the fuck away.

It's not going to happen if they keep playing him at the top of the key.

I agree.

 

[Natebishop3]

Lopez with nearly another double double. 9 points and 10 boards.

 

[magnifier661]

Lopez's defense is really solid. I'm soooo excited about him

Hickson who?

 

[julius]

He needs to not have the ball with him (like the last play, which I think was him...drove to the hoop).

He can develop that part of his game, but he should be a guy whose game is limited to within 15 feet of the hoop. And even that it's to send screens, rebound and defend. And if need be, be a bit of a Rich Mahorn.

Not sure it's solid, as much as we got so used to Hicksons "defense" and Leonards "defense". Not saying he isn't playing hard or being very helpful.

 

[julius]

Speak of the Devil, Leonard comes in. Portland up 62-55 (now 64-55)

 

[Natebishop3]

I was thinking the bench wasn't having a very good game, but they still have 22 points so far. That's lightyears better than last year.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love that Mullins guy. He needs to keep shooting.

 

[magnifier661]

Fuck you clips! I hope we blow you out

 

[Darkwebs]

TRob: beast of the boards

 

[The_Lillard_King]

T-Rob goes up high for a rebound

 

[julius]

Last years bench would be down by 15 at this point.

 

[Natebishop3]

Keep shooting clippers!

 

[magnifier661]

Barton is such a good distributor

 

[Darkwebs]

Clippers are dying by the 3

 

[Darkwebs]

T-Rob goes up high for a rebound

He climbs the golden ladder.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Barton really having a bad game

 

[magnifier661]

Barton really having a bad game

The clipper defense is best suited against players like Barton.

 

[Natebishop3]

Barton really having a bad game

1-5 shooting, 5 turnovers in 26 minutes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Robinson with 7 boards in 12 minutes. Not bad.

 

[julius]

That Robinson shot pretty much is one thing he shouldn't be put in a position to do (yet).

 

[The_Lillard_King]

T-Rob doing his job on the boards, but don't need him taking those shots. I know time about to expire, but put the ball into Mo or dare I say even Barton's hands.

 

[julius]

So, it's 66-59 after 3.

I bet the Clippers make a quick run to start the 3rd.
