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

For the record, I did not start this at all. I was in here posting great things about the Blazers.

 

Are you drunk? Because there's no way I can read this post in anything but a drunk voice.

PS I am drunk.

 

hell yes you were! well except for hating on on wes...and crawford...and nate...and roy... lol its all good man, thats just your style

i see it as constructive criticism personally

 

Hating on Wes by thinking he is a better 6th man? Hating on Roy because I think he is a poor defensive player? And hating on Crawford and Nate is what it is

 

drunk on blazer dominance, and listerene

my livers shot but my breath is hot fire

 

yes mm, exactly

 

Yep, he did. And the Blazers still out rebounded the Nuggets 50-30. Even though Aldridge didn't get a lot of rebounds, he was doing a good job boxing his man out. Denver missed 52 shots, but only got 3 offensive rebounds! Denver's starting front court of Nene, Gallinari and Mozgov had ZERO offensive rebounds. That's a pretty amazing job of team defensive rebounding. You want to bag on Aldridge, go ahead. I prefer to look at the bigger picture.

BNM

 

I'd like to know the last time a McMillan led team scored over 100 three games in a row.

 

You construed MM's statement as talking shit? And I am sure there are many posters (like me) who enjoyed this win but also want to see the Blazers improve.

 

few points I noticed....

- you dont realize how bad Rudy is till he is on the other team. i was hoping he kept shooting

- Andre wanted that game bad!

- Andre also despises us right now. You can see it in his face.

- Batum needs to get his act together on offense

- Wallace isnt making it through this season healthy

 

Between March 12-19 last season against DAL, CLE, PHI. All wins.

We even had a 4 game streak last season: between Feb 5-13 against CLE, IND, CHI, TOR, DET. Again, all wins.

 

Care to explain why Wallace won't make it thru the season healthy?

 

This is the best part of the season so far. I was convinced that Nate would never, ever allow this kind of freedom to run -- I'm still worried that he'll tighten up the reins if and when we lose a few games, but so far this is just good entertaining basketball. And the wins aren't bad either.

 

I thought the biggest factor in our win was that Rudy was playing for them and not for us. He seemed just the same, missing open threes and getting his shot blocked going inside.

Camby's defensive play was another really big factor.

With all the new players and short training camp we really were fortunate to have our first three games at home. And now a little break to regroup; gotta like this team.

And about Roy; he really gave a great Christmas present to the team and fans by being gracious and intelligent enough to retire. There is so much more clarity and unity now as far as what we are doing on the court.

 

Hes on the floor way to much. I hope he does but the way he plays I just dont see that being possible.

 

Repped.

 

Because he's fucking FEARLESS, that's why. But you know what? He's Wolverine. He will be fine.

 

I think he was talking about scoring over 100, not wins.

 

So was I. Those were the consecutive games in which we scored over 100.
