12/29/2011 Blazers at home vs the Nuggets Game Thread!

Next time I will pm my post to someone else and have them post it. It will be fun to see the response it gets then

 

Pissed of because Nate had to yell at him to get in the post when Rudy was on him.

I'm starting to think Batum just doesn't have the mentality to be the aggressor.

 

I think road will be much harder. Ps sorry for jumping on ya man. I just want to enjoy this win and don't want to read negativity. My bad bro...

 

As an aside. Nice to know Rudy still couldn't hit the ocean with a beach ball.

 

Good win. I'm liking this 7 man rotation thing we have going, with all 7 being capable of scoring ~15 a night.

Felton and Crawford redeemed themselves, but the guard play still leaves a lot to be desired in the decision making department.

LA might not be in "beast" mode, but he's making the correct plays out of double/triple teams. He had 6 asts tonight.

 

I was thinking maybe he should have gotten the game ball. He helped us win this game.

 

camby had a really rough night passing from the high post. there was also alot of unnecessary sloppy lobs and entry feeds, i think they got sucked into the nugs pace early and werent quite ready to push it that fast

 

WTF was with the booing Rudy thing, btw?

The guy said nothing but good things about the team and the city. He played like shit for the last few years, but still. I didn't expect that out of Blazer fans.

 

Remember when KP said he has a little c'est la vie about him?

 

I thought they were saying Rudy! They used to cheer him like that before in pdx

 

It's ok, I am used to it. But it wasn't negative.

 

steals 16 - 3 lol. good thing we can rebound.

 

I couldn't decide if it was Boooooooooo or Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudy? It could have gone either way because Rudy bitched for a trade

 

That just tells me there are smarter fans in the RG than I expected there would be. That whiny bitch sandbagged and pouted for two years. And before anybody throws this tired canard out there again; I don't buy the "Trevor Ariza shattered his confidence" thing one bit.

 

yeah im surprised about the tight rotation too, nates got his playoff rotation in effect haha

 

Definitely "Boooooo"

 

Sounds good now, but he's going to need to get something out his 8-10 guys sooner or later; the compressed schedule is going to take its toll.

 

half their steals were mug jobs on entry passes, but they shouldnt have been giving them the chance to do that in the first place

 

Watching the Blazers commit 25 turnovers is a new experience. It would have been a total blowout if it were something more reasonable. Some of it was just good steals by Denver, but Felton and Crawford made a lot of dumb passes.

Felton was out of control many times in the 2nd quarter, leading the break. But those two redeemed themselves in the end!

And Nic Batum...how many point blank shots has he missed this year? Come on Nic!

I thought the refs made a few cheesy calls. NBA refs are so inconsistant. I didn't think they should call crawford for a charge when he brushed up sideways against the defender.

If Greg Oden comes back and can provide rebounding and defense when Camby is on the bench....look out!
