GAME THREAD: Blazers @ Hornets, 3/30/11 - Master vs Apprentice, Round 4

15 pages!! Thanks for a great thread, everybody. Big game on Friday. Need to win our home games to get into the dance.

Go Blazers

P.S. Roy sucks

 

Irony...

 

I don't think it's his fault, but whatever.

 

Ugh. Only got the chance to listen through the middle of the 2nd quarter -- just now saw the final result. What a crappy finish to a winnable game.

 

Seriously

The Hornets play the Grizz on Friday, the Blazers play the Thunder

If the Blazers beat the Thunder and the Hornets lose to the Grizz, the Blazers are 6th again

That easy. It will no doubt go down to the final game.

 

Of course not, you are always on his nuts. Roy sucks just as much as anyone who people have called out tonight. And yes, Roy-iso led us to 50 wins, but it also led us to one and done playoffs. Roy was good back when he was not injured, but not anymore. Oh and his defense sucks as well, though, you probably would think it is great.

 

bwhahahahaha ...

 

Roy's 1 and done playoff appearances get looked over. Miller's are his critics biggest criticism.

 

Chris Paul is the most overrated player of the decade. He is the new Gary Payton.

 

Oh I know that. But I am just suggesting that Miller should not be getting blamed totally for this loss. It is true he was not good as far as passing/moving the ball tonight and he pissed away our possession when we were down 3, but he is hardly to blame totally. I am also saying That Roy iso is just as dumb as Miller iso is, but PapaG would of course disagree since it got us wins, but did nothing in the playoffs.

 

The blame for this loss goes on Roy, Rudy, Wes, and Nic......their inability to hit anything from outside has been killing us lately/the entire year

 

I'm amazed at how much Blazer games mirror the day I've had up until the game. So this morning, I got to work, and after dicking around on the internet for a bit, had two hella productive meetings and just impressed some people. I continued to work through lunch, and did well until about 2pm. Then I decided to fuck it, leave work early and catch the game at home. I stopped at the bar, had a couple of beers and an early dinner, and about half an hour before tipoff, answered some e-mails and impressed my boss again... but it was too little too late. I was overall lazier than I was productive.

 

In the end, anyone but the Lakers.

Dallas most desirable opponent
SA less so, but Blazers can match up with them a little bit and beat them a lot
Lakers....not a chance in hell Blazers win. Playing them in the 1st round would honestly ruin the playoffs for me because I know there's no chance they would lose

 

That is what I think as well, basically all of these guys are showing exactly who they are, streaky shooters (and it does not help that they are just shooters and none of them can attack the rim). The only consistent players on this team are Aldridge, Wallace, and Miller while everyone else is streaky as hell.

 

Btw I think it's a joke Camby only got 17minutes. By far the best rebounder on the team and he hardly plays anymore.

Nate, get it together.

 

Yeah combined with our horrible defense, my optimism is decreasing rather quickly. It appears that teams have learned that Roy struggles with high pressure on ball defense and any ball handler with a pulse.

 

Absolutely agree on all points in this post.

 

Why, are you just a Good-Time Charley?
