WOLVES @ BLAZERS - GAME THREAD - 03.02.13, SATURDAY 7 PM - KGW/NBA TV

[PapaG]

The whistles of the refs suddenly start blowing. I don't get it. Either let them play, or don't.

 

[julius]

Yeah, I think the Maynor experiment was prematurely called a disappointment.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Why is it that most "pure point guards" can't shoot a lick?

Because if they were good enough at shooting to shoot a lot, they wouldn't be considered pure point guards?

 

[PapaG]

Rubio is such a defensive liability that Stotts is now running the offense through Maynor.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

This Lillard kid is pretty good. I say we keep him.

 

[EGame]

This Lillard kid is pretty good. I say we keep him.

Trade him. He sucks in the 1st quarter.

 

[MickZagger]

YES

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Maynor making those midget point guards look foolish.

 

[EGame]

Resign Maynor.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Resign Maynor.

He's definitely looking good, but he's not exactly facing what we call "defense".

 

[RoyToy]

Fez disagrees

 

[julius]

Resign Maynor.

why do you want him to quit?

 

[RoyToy]

why do you want him to quit?

rep .

 

[EGame]

why do you want him to quit?

He might get expensive come free agency period.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Meyers Leonard fouls Maynor on defense.

 

[julius]

sloppy play.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I do miss Dante. He's exactly what we need as a bench guy.

 

[LuckyShot]

Huh... so the NBA does call hand check fouls.

 

[B-Roy]

Refs have called it tight all game, and then they decide to call that?

 

[EGame]

Whistle happy.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Love the fact that we're winning, but it's amusing that our bench still gets outscored by Minny's.

 

[KingSpeed]

I do miss Dante. He's exactly what we need as a bench guy.

No worries. He got us Lillard.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

VEEKTOOR!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No worries. He got us Lillard.

True, but wouldn't that be great if we eventually had gotten him back?

 

[EGame]

True, but wouldn't that be great if we eventually had gotten him back?

He isn't a free agent this upcoming offseason, is he?

 

[julius]

Love the fact that we're winning, but it's amusing that our bench still gets outscored by Minny's.

well, outside of Leonard and Maynor, the bench hasn't exactly been super productive.

Freeland and Claver have looked better (especially Claver, who does things that don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet), but not offensively.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

New goofy Lillard GIF required! Hand-waving into prayer bow!

 

[julius]

Hell, outside of Lillard, has anyone really been an offensive juggernaut?

 

[B-Roy]

well, outside of Leonard and Maynor, the bench hasn't exactly been super productive.

Freeland and Claver have looked better (especially Claver, who does things that don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet), but not offensively.

The best thing I can say about the bench is that I don't get the "NOOOOOOOOO" feeling anymore when Sasha Pavlovic and Ronnie Price were regulars.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why is it that most "pure point guards" can't shoot a lick?

The ones who can't shoot have to be great at something to get drafted. Just like little guys or white guys being good at FTs. Gotta make up for not being big or black.
