How to beat the Blazers these days: Just show up.

 

[B-Roy]

If we can be within 5 at half, we'll be in good position.

LOL

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

The Blazers should start donating to charity for every missed layup.

PA would go broke.

 

[VenomXL]

I think my prediction of 60 first half points for the Wizards may have been a bit low.

Yeah. Thanks a hell of a lot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Teams look forward to playing us cuz we're so bad.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Most people might not believe it, but LaMarcus has been a pretty solid defender this year

Most of our players are very good individual defenders. Camby, Aldridge, Batum, Wallace, and Matthews just to name a few, but we have no defensive system. Nate is all rhetoric. He preaches defense but doesn't have any idea on how to implement it.

The magic left this team the day Roy retired

 

[VenomXL]

Down twelve at half time, LA goes down with injury.

Happy Valentines day everyone.

The Houston game was the end of the season

You called it

They're in (a) good position alright. Probably not the one you were thinking of, though.

 

[MickZagger]

Maybe step out on that three Nic?

Did Nic sleep with your imaginary girlfriend, or something?

A string of first round exits, was "magic?" Yeesh, expectations are low around here.

Having low expectations is a good way to never be disappointed

Are you saying HCP's wife is imaginary?

More like

The team's ability to overcome injuries etc etc and still be competitive in the west.

And winning close games as well

 

[PapaG]

ROFLMAO @ taking out Batum right now. Oh lord is this guy moronic.

Batum played 19 minutes in the first half.

Moronic post.

 

[illmatic99]

Nic was on fire. He got taken out. He comes back and doesn't see the ball again for a while. He cools off.

Now that is the difference between Nate and D'Antoni. You think he gives a shit that Lin is playing 42mpg? no freakin way. Without him, they'd be toast. And without Nic right now, we are toast as well. Play him and give him the ball! He's our best player!

That wasn't magic. That was an imbalance of dependence on our best player. Coach doesn't know how to utilize a "team."

 

[PapaG]

Thats about right. He's currently the best active Blazer. He needs 40 minutes a night.

If that's the case, why are you and others bitching about his minutes tonight?

 

[RoyToy]

How did Roy's usg% stack up against Kobe/Wade/LeBron/Melo/etc?

Was he used more than those players are for their team?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Batum played 19 minutes in the first half.

Moronic post.

Take your eyes off the box score and put them on the actual game. Nic got taken out when he was hot and he wouldn't have had 19 minutes if LMA was healthy.

Your apologist attitude flies in the face of common sense.

Blazers are 4th in the NBA in DEF EFF.

Nice post.

 

[craigehlo]

I don't care about Nic's minutes. This team has never and will never move the ball properly under Nate.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

If that's the case, why are you and others bitching about his minutes tonight?

Maybe because he was killing it, and when he got taken out the other team made a run? Watch the game much?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Watching the Star Trek reboot on FX... Anyone else wanna join me?

Nice post.

Say hello to tonight's game.

Terrible post.

Your apologist attitude flies in the face of common sense.

Your NegaBlazer attitude, and your moronic post about defense when the team if 4th in the NBA in DEF EFF, flies in the face of common sense.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Just got back from dinner with the gf.

Nice to see Nate finally limiting LMA's minutes.

And now we know why Jay Jensen has been named to the all star team.

 

[RoyToy]

Well how come the Wizards are still on a run?

He's been in since the 9 mark in the 2nd Q
