Trail Blazers @ Jazz Game Thread

[Fez Hammersticks]

We have a huge hole at SF.

Batum is invisible when he's on the floor. He has definitely hit that wall... face first.

Travis - you either have a good basketball IQ or you don't. Unfortunately, he doesn't.

 

[alex42083]

Okur and Milsap, 33 points and 10 boards
Greg and LaMarcus, 16 points, 5 boards.

OUCH.

 

[TehChad]

Sigh, just one of those games so far. The refs wearing very tinted Jazz glasses, and if Okur played this way every game he'd be the MVP.

Hopefully he cools down and the refs decide to call this game down the middle in the second half.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Seriously, Greg looks like a lesser DeSagana Diop right now.

 

[B-Roy]

You said that after tonight, we fall to 6-7 seed. That means you have thrown in the towel for this game. You've already determined that we will lose.

I'm basing this off the energy they've shown me so far. If they bring it up in the second half, and we go on to win, then great. Still doesn't change the fact that we aren't elite.

 

[KingSpeed]

Roy 11 pts
Brewer 2 pts

ouch

You threw in the towel, deciding that the first half dictates the second half, that 11 pts is too much of a hole to dig out of.

Diop is better at this point.

That was terrible by Roy. I usually don't think Roy can do no wrong but there is no way he shouldn't have passed the ball to Rudy in that last 4 seconds. He didn't even get the shot off in time and Rudy was ahead with nobody on him. I know I shouldn't be pissed but I have seen Roy not pass to Rudy before when he should What is up with Roy and Rudy.

I've noticed Roy not passing to Rudy in previous games.

Too much selfish play all around tonight.

 

[alex42083]

Roy 11 pts
Brewer 2 pts

ouch

I would sure hope Brandon's outscoring Brewer or else we'd probably be down 20, 30.

My post exactly. I am so pissed at Roy for not passing the ball to the wide open and in rhythm Rudy for the three. GRRR!! And it's not the first time Roy has ignored wide open teammates. It's really a selfish habit.

 

[Penitentiary Face]

Every time I see that LeBron commercial, I kinda wish they'd secretly slip in that ending scene of Tony Montana at his desk at his mansion.

 

[Tortimer]

They should have tried to get the ball to LMA when he got back in the second quarter. He was hot and didn't take another shot after he came back in.

 

[J_Ray]

So was Oden

Oden was in the ESPN the magazine commercial

Okur and Milsap, 33 points and 10 boards
Greg and LaMarcus, 16 points, 5 boards.

OUCH.

Memo and Millsap have been playing great together w/o Boozer, I tried telling someone earlier that Utah has been decent w/o Boozer.

But do you guys really think Bayless would actually help all around? I think he'd lose his man trying to cover Sloan's offense, but so is everyone else for Portland. Has Bayless done good when he's played this year?

The ripcitytwo boards, where Blazers fans melting down happens.

I really hate to say it but I have seen on more then a couple occasions Roy not passing the ball to Rudy when he was wide open.

 

[BBert]

I can't wait to get Sergio and Rudy and Martell on the court at the same time. They looked good together before Martell went down.

They sure did and Martel and Rudy had something special together.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oden!!!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Greg with a nice aggressive move!

 

[MARIS61]

Put the bench in.

 

[Rodolfo]

Jesus

 

[PapaG]

Get Batum the Eff out of there.

 

[Tortimer]

Here we go again not getting back. There is no excuse to not get back when we are shooting FT's.

 

[Rodolfo]

Energy looks MUCH better so far.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

man up!

 

[alex42083]

Ball don't lie.

We need some interior defense.

 

[KingSpeed]

Batum got yanked!

 

[alex42083]

Nicolas might be losing his PT, too bad Martell is out.
