Trail Blazers @ Jazz Game Thread

[Rodolfo]

Wow Greg looks bad.

 

[RoyToy]

Blake is so useless.

 

[KingSpeed]

please let greg not be a bust.

 

[retroblazers]

again roy refuses to run back on defense and just points at his guy streaking down the court

 

[alex42083]

Not a good sign when we have to work so hard to get a hoop. Utah is playing Boston like defense on us.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I am so much more confident with Joel P in there vs. Oden.......at least he'll play hard. This is sorry.....

 

[alex42083]

Looks like it's Brandon Roy time, he's not taking this shit anymore.

 

[TP3]

Aldridge is Oden's way. Weak side post cannot stay low when the ball-side post is on the block. Needs to flash high. Fundamental spacing problem. GO needs room to work.

They are abusing Outlaw's lack of defensive recognition - especially off the ball. This team is based on defense and TO doesn't understand basketball well enough to consistently execute on that end.

We need Brandon to score and stop their momentum. He waited too long. He has to impose his will on the road throughout the 48 min...not just the last 4 or 5 like he can at home.

 

[KingSpeed]

man, we're getting blown out everytime we're on national tv

we beat the bulls by 42 on national tv

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Look at Joel F'N PRYZ!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

DeSegana Oden.

 

[alex42083]

Get the F out says Joel

 

[alex42083]

Travis is having a rough night.. 0-4 FG

 

[PapaG]

Everytime Travis dribbles I"m thinking Turnover.

He has one for the game. Rudy has two.

Sounds like a "you" problem.

 

[DaRizzle]

please let greg not be a bust.

middle ground...find it

we already went over this

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Oh well.

Celebrity rehab starts in a few minutes.

 

[KingSpeed]

We have to find a way to win this game. These division games are so important.

 

[MAS RipCity]

can we package the RLEC with McMillan for a competent coach?

 

[B-Roy]

Travis is having a rough night.. 0-4 FG

This seems like the norm.

Shots aren't falling, we've gotten SO many open 3s. Bricked em all.

 

[RoyToy]

McMillan has retards for players, like Outlaw.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I blame the back-court. Not setting a good tempo for Portland.

 

[RoyToy]

Yeah, Blake has been terrible tonight.

 

[alex42083]

This seems like the norm.

Shots aren't falling, we've gotten SO many open 3s. Bricked em all.

We seem to live by the 3 ball a little too much, relying too much on us being the second best 3-point shooting team in the league. We need to find a way to get more easy baskets.

 

[Tortimer]

I'm Nate fan but there is nothing he can do the way most of our players are playing tonight. I think it is the Jazz. It first started with the bad calls and then the Jazz just started playing really tough defense. I think we still might have one more run in us.

 

[PapaG]

I actually think I feel worse for Oden than it appears he feels for himself after performances like this one.

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge had 12pts in the 1st Q....he currently has 12pts in the game.

 

[KingSpeed]

this sucks

 

[MAS RipCity]

these refs are allowing murder to go on and we continue to play pat-a-cake instead of world of warcraft

 

[alex42083]

Utah playing championship-level defense, or us playing like we're Oklahoma City.

 

[illmatic99]

For a team with supposedly the best chemistry in the league, we don't look very cohesive.
