Nice. I missed all of the game except 1/2 of the 3rd and the 4th! sweeeeet!

Same as me. I slept through the first part! My wife called me and woke me up during the 3 quarter. I guess they needed us!

GS has a roster full of D-Leaguers.

Nice win but the game was embarrassing.

True, but right now W's are all that matter. Blazers have a whole month to raise their level of play to be ready for the playoffs.

This. And it's not like it was the 4th or 5th game of a road trip. The Blazers have had a lot of time to REST and PREPARE and PRACTICE. Doesn't seem to work.

Hey, they came through when they had to on a court they've not had much success on. I'll take it.

Nice tank job by GS.

Nice tank job by GS.

Too bad the refs didn't call the foul when Batum got the rebound; they could have beaten the spread (214 1/2) and the odds (POR -6).

Season high 11 games over .500 and 9-4 since the AS break, and a very good chance Portland wins their next 3 games. Only shaky game is tomorrow at Sacramento, but they should beat them.

The longer we play together, the more time we'll have to gel with Camby, and hopefully be in decent form for the playoffs.

Camby makes LMA look like a 12 year old when it comes to rebounding.

Re: WHAT?..... Blazers vs. Warriors game thread

Every team plays some games badly. Good teams find a way to win those games anyway. Yes, exceptional teams always win going away, but that's a 72-10 mindset that's very hard to achieve.

Ladies, we're a good team right now. Not great, not awful. Good.

Maybe it's because it's his fucking job.

Then perhaps Marcus can teach LaMarcus a little something.

Camby was rebounding in the NBA when LMA was a 12 year old.

LMA showed the national audience that he has no balls.

NONE.

Keep fading while the disruptive 6'4"-6'5" Meggette is draped all over you.

Embarrassing.

Maybe because he remembers their previous games, unlike you. Every time he previously made contact with Maggette, Maggette flopped immediately, and got LMA in foul trouble. I didn't like his game tonight, but I'm not going to fault him for fading away when everyone knew Maggette would hit the ground if contact was there.

Re: WHAT?..... Blazers vs. Warriors game thread

Then you take it to the hoop. Go into the paint with a baby hook. Anything but a fucking fade-away 15-footer.

Maggette flops when LMA backs him down. He should have learned by now. DRIVE THE BALL!!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Re: WHAT?..... Blazers vs. Warriors game thread

Seriously, who's the softest starting PF the Blazers have had in the teams history?

LMA could very well be the softest PF in Portland Trailblazer history.

 

[RR7]

Re: WHAT?..... Blazers vs. Warriors game thread

drive the ball when he catches it on the block? he makes any contact, maggette is dropping. Where do you want him to drive it from? I don't really care to see him handling rhe ball and "driving" on anyone from any sort of distance away. Especially against much smaller and quicker players.

 

[STOMP]

So why the fuck didn't they play like that in the first 3 fucking quarters?

if the road team gets way up early on, more often then not they find themselves getting in foul trouble. I've seen this happen so many times... it can't be by chance. Better to just stay close and out of significant foul trouble through 3 quarters. Then the 4th is winning time when guys can go all out.

Turn and face from the block. Something PF's like Amare, KG, Bosh, etc., all do very well.

It is much easier to get away with flopping when the offensive player is backing into the defender.

We won.

GS has a roster full of D-Leaguers.

Nice win but the game was embarrassing.

Boston, Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix have all lost to that group of D-Leaguers.

I enjoyed it. In fact all the Blazers fans there, who actually go to games to support the team when the team is on the road instead of pissing and moaning online about how awful they are, had a blast. And the Warriors fans, who hate Roy because they think he "stole" an All Star spot from then-Warrior Baron Davis 2 years ago, were getting more and more annoyed as Roy got more and more in the zone. The Warriors were held to 9 4th quarter points, that's called defense, ladies & gentlemen & Mixum. The Blazers reorganized in game which is not easy to do. And they won. There are no ugly wins. You don't get extra credit for a pretty win or a dominating win or an easy win. They all count as one W.
