Man this game has the exact same rhythm it had last night: Denver aggressive on the offensive glass, the Blazers a step slow and living off of a diet of Steve Blake 3 pointers.
When the hell are they going to stop running that stupid pick & roll with Roy? They just go to trap him every fuckin time!
This isn't going to end well. I can already see the trade threads and "fire Nate" threads slamming the board tonight and tomorrow.
Roy and Blake taking the lazy way again. No defense, tossing up jumpers rather than work for a shot or pass inside.
If the game continues to go as it is right now with absolutely no adjustments from last night, then those threads will be warranted.
This is like deja-vu. Oden already with 2 fouls. Denver outrebounding us. We're shooting and missing a lot of jumpers.
Feed the ball to Aldridge. Do something different, shit. Blazers need a PG that can get into the lane, plain and simple. Blake just doesn't cut it.
Well, honestly, if you added a decent point guard and a decent coach to this team, we would see some differences.
