THAT...WAS...AWESOME!!!!! The L-Train left the station and ran the fuck over the Shaqtus and Nash. That was the best and biggest ass whipping of the year.
Now the Blazers need to come out on Saturday and take care of business and not get emotionally sidetracked. Memphis has some decent players and is playing with a "nothing to lose" attitude, it's a game the young Blazers have taken for granted in the past and been burned.... *EVERY* game is a must win from now on. The Playoffs starts now.
So where are all the folks complaining about Aldridge being soft now? 4 out of the last 8 being double doubles, with 2 of them being the game where he got the cuncussion and the game after where he wasn't quite right yet?
Well, no great magic trick. Nothing the Blazers were doing to the Suns seemed likely to change. Portland was just moving the ball and getting good shots, often in the paint or wide open threes. Nothing that was flukey or based on streak shooting.
Great victory, crowd came up big time as well tonight from the opening tip until we started blowing them out and the wave was on. This was such a huge test to see whether or not this team was up to task in a big game, and they impressed the hell out of me. I'm shocked that with so many rookies in our rotation, that we played so well in a pressure situation. Props to the entire team tonight, they all played well. Can't wait for the playoffs!
But it did change. You correctly predicted that the Suns defense would improve by 1.5% in the 2nd half. barfo
Talked to Nic after the game in the loading dock. He said his ankle was killing him. Great win though!
that scares me! i kinda want him to take a break for a game or two so he can rest that ankle of his i know hes young and shit but ive rolled my ankle bad before you need to let that shit heal
Nic played great, another game where it was pretty obvious that having him on the floor is more beneficial than having Travis in. They should rest him for the next game.
