Trail Blazers @ Bullets - Game Thread

How long did you have that saved up?

Not long, thankfully; I can't wait till Joel demolishes Wall.

Who else feels extremely angry that Nate gets paid enough to drive a BMW every time that commercial comes on?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Blatche runs like Manute Bol, I swear.

 

[KingSpeed]

So while I like the fact that Nate is benching people for not producing, there seems to be a bit of a double standard. Roy and Aldridge have both gone through periods where they have been poor, yet they seem to be untouchable. Batum, Johnson and Camby are benched right away. Funny that those three are probably our best defenders along with Matthews

Who is Nate supposed to put in for Aldridge? Marks? Oh wait, he just did. As for Roy, Matthews is already starting and Roy is still one of our best scorers. We need offense. Aldridge is also one of our best scorers.

Roy giving us his Phoenix Game 6 impression.

 

[santeesioux]

These refs are as bad as the two teams playing.

 

[KingSpeed]

If we lose this game....oh my god...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Will either team make 70?

 

[illmatic99]

Batum and Roy look like the only ones who care.

Here comes the chucker.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If we lose this game....oh my god...

Let's be honest, neither team should get a win. They should just call it now.

 

[santeesioux]

If we lose this game....oh my god...

Heads will roll!

We drafted Oden, not Durant, genius.

Sorry, but the best way to tear a team apart is to have one set of rules for the "stars", and another for the rest of the guys

 

[Mediocre Man]

Heads will roll!

Sadly not the right head

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sadly not the right head

So now you want to castrate Nate? Jesus you're ruthless!

 

[KingSpeed]

Roy giving us his Phoenix Game 6 impression.

huh? Roy's the best player in the game on either team. 16 points on 8 of 17 shooting and 4 assists. I don't remember him playing like that in Game 6.

I meant the drive out of bounds.

 

[Mediocre Man]

So now you want to castrate Nate? Jesus you're ruthless!

I wasn't thinking that, but it might make him unfold his arms if we tried?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I can see it now: "And the Blazers win in double overtime, 78-76."

 

[KingSpeed]

Roy and Aldridge, for better or worse, are the only consistent scorers on the team. Maybe Matthews too, but that's it. Nate has to play them.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Uh oh, Saunders is serious about winning this game; he just took Arenas out.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Andre doin' work.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Miller is saving the Blazers right now.

After some deliberation, Ihave decided there is no way we should lose this game, so we won't

 

[Rhal]

anybody besides Miller gonna shoot free throws on the blazers tonight?

 

[MickZagger]

Blatche outplaying Aldridge.

*Yawn*

 

[KingSpeed]

It doesn't make sense that for 6 games now, we always play well at the beginning of games but then can't score starting in the middle of the third. That is a coaching problem.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Roy and Aldridge, for better or worse, are the only consistent scorers on the team. Maybe Matthews too, but that's it. Nate has to play them.

That's a bad way to look at it.

 

[maxiep]

huh? Roy's the best player in the game on either team.

Tonight, that's no great compliment.

 

[MickZagger]

There is no reason Matthews should have 10 less minutes than Roy.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

this thread is ten to twenty times more entertaining than the game.
