Wow. That was some amazing stuff by the Kings. Big-time clutch block by Garcia and then Beno with the runner to beat the clock. Kings lead by 2 with 1.7 seconds left. Hornets' ball. Fun stuff.
 
JRay- why did you change your signature?? It used to say "Utah will finish 8th. Book It- KingSpeed."

Now that's it true, you've taken it down. Man up, and leave it there.
 
NO!! Butler wins the game with a 3.

Hey, congrats on the victory, you guys definitely showed up today while the refs & Utah were both non-existent in this game. Both teams were allowed to get away with murder or were called for bad fouls, or the refs just had their head up their ass. Portland is San Antonio 2.0 for Utah on the road, and really hope Utah gets Houston or Denver in the first round. But Kingspeed, I really appreciate you sending me a PM, so I'll respond it here



Season series=2-2...both teams won their home games and if you can find ANY post where I said the Jazz were clicking, please show me.

Please don't take Kingspeed as anything representing the majority of Blazers fans just incase you did. Also I agree with NateBishop - Boozer shouldn't have been tossed.

This was the first time we played a healthy Utah team. And we were without Rudy. And we didn't just win. We KILLED you guys.

Enjoy getting swept by the Lakers, though I'll be rooting for you cuz I hate the Lakers.

I congratulated you guys on a victory, I'll let you celebrate the victory in w/e manor you want but the season series is still 2-2, so I don't understand how a home victory makes you better when you've guys beat teams like Lakers, Spurs, & whoever else, does that mean your better than those teams?

My sig is the same....

Right, but YOU represent the majority of Blazers fans? Kinda arrogant. Please dude.
 
Jerry must be in hell with the way the Jazz have played defense these last two years. What happened? How did poor Jerry end up with a team full of pussies. As a Blazer fan i hope they resign both Boozer and the "money man" to long term contracts. Very soft.

Nonsense, Kingspeed is the Official Hollywood Ambassador of all Blazers Fans.

:cheers:
 
The Blazers had 19 made layups or dunks, that is incredible!
 
Portland dominated with their physicality...they were larger than Utah and completely took advantage.

They need to remember to play like that on the road. Taking advantage of their size and dominating in the paint. Jumpers should be taken when shooters are left open due to the trouble the defense is having in the paint.

I think the current dominating play in large part is due to LMA's game. Dude has been looking really sharp lately. Hope he can carry his current play into the playoffs and beyond.

I love his recent willingness to take it inside. It's like something just clicked with him and he knows that people can't stop him 1v1 so he's gonna take it to them.

If this is the new LMA it helps Roy out as well, he no longer has to carry so much of the load, he can pick and choose times to break down the defense with better looks.
 
I was mostly impressed by our defense in the paint tonight. Even though we gave up 104, I thought we were really good inside. Joel and G.O. protected the basket well, and we forced Utah to change their shots right at the rim and we got a ton of deflections and steals and just forced them out of their game.

Earlier in the season, our defense was pretty bad but now, we're doing a much better job against the pick and roll, showing a wall to opposing team's top perimeter players, and clogging the lane and daring teams to shoot over the top.

Great win tonight Blazers!

LOL @ Jerry Sloan for complaining about a hard foul.

If you were at the game and watched Sloans outrage. As soon as the Ref t-ed him up. You can read Sloans lips as on the replay screen as he called the ref "... motherfucker."

The Jazz only had 80 points with 7 minutes left in the 4th.... the damn 4th unit let them go off.
 
Last three games, two highest point totals and lowest opposing point total of the season.
 
Am I the only one who has notice how much LaMarcus Aldridge has improved over the course of the year? Go back and watch tape of some early games. Props to LMA and to the coaching staff.
