It should be an entertaining Sunday on these boards. As much as we do have issues on this team, the reaction to the Denver loss was pretty crazy. Not just here but everywhere for Blazer fans. Someone even threatened Jay Allen over it on the game. Even Boom Boom got called out for not finishing! At least some of the homerism is gone and Im glad to say i contributed to that. But man a loss to SAC town would be an epic explosion on these boards. Not to mention its on the BALD FACE TRUTH NIGHT IN SAC TOWN!!!! Ahahahaha
Interesting. @ NJ - W @ Toronto - W @ Chicago - L (by 4) @ Minny - W @ Memphis - W Indy - W @ Denver - L Sacto - W GS - W @ Sacto - W Toronto - W Washington - W @ Phoenix - L (by 6) Dallas - W @ NO - W @ OKC - W NY - W @ Denver - L 14-4 (all losses on the road -two of those in the mile high city) Yeah, lots to be concerned about.
What a waste of a topic thread. Theres no way we are going to lose to the kings unless we played our entire 2nd unit the whole game.
I'm sure you can do better than this... what if we lose all our remaining games and get swept by the Lakers? Now THAT would be epic. "Ahahahahah" Nice to see you taking it one game at a time though.
I don't care if we win another game all season. We're in. I'd rather see the starting five get solid minutes - have Nate throw out a few new offensive sets (to get Batum - and maybe Camby) some shots; I'd rather see Nate play around with ways to infiltrate Cunningham, Rudy, Bayless, Howard, etc. into the lineup. (Webster can sit as far as I'm concerned). [rather than what Nate did vs. Denver: played a five-man rotation with spot minutes for everyone but Webster. Hey, if we got here playing 9 and 10 players every game - then stick with it!] And during the next few games, you've got to bolster Rudy's confidence behind the arc and give him the permission to let 'em fly. With a "hot Rudy" going into the playoffs - we might be able to steal a game or two. But with a bench that cannot score - we're out in 5 (to whomever we play). PS: Best match-up: Lakers! We'll get motivated to play against LA to a notch much higher than say, Denver or Dallas or Utah. We can beat LA over seven games.
Yah, that 52 points against Phoenix was sure against a shitty team. Or the 42 and 41 he scored against the Nuggets and Rockets, those sure were shitty teams. And games where he scored over 30? less than 50% of them were against 'shitty teams'. And games where he scored under 15? Hm...go figure, 45 games under 15 points, and about 23 against "shitty teams". Great impeccable facts you got going there, Maxim.
The only thing you have contributed to is the argument that levonorgestrel should be more widely available.
But we win! What a fantastic team! What an incredible GM! What a transcendent coach! This game was basically for the season, and we won it! When was the last time you saw a team with players like ours? Four players with 20+ points! It's time for a Blazer fan EXPLOSION! Best! Team! Ever! P.S. Sorry, but it's the truth.
Given that 3 of the 4 losses were to WC play-off teams, and only 2 of the wins were against WC play-off teams, I would say it raises questions about the Blazers' hopes in the post-season.
Well we suck vs the thuggets and vs utah but vs every other West playoff team we have a good record against.
