Official Blazers v. Warriors Game Thread 2/12/09

I blame this one on Maggette.

 

Yea, I have started to tune him out, the sugar coating just has to STOP, it makes me even more mad we are losing, not happier.

 

It would be nice if our guys had the smarts to actually adjust to the refs instead of playing into the opponents hands time and time again. Sure they were bad calls, but you need to adapt.

 

It's just something we gotta live with. And since we probably get more depressed than the casual fan, we don't want to hear the excuses.

 

Barrett always likes to make the point that the organization never tells him what to say. Hey Mike, they don't have to, you bring the homerism without any direction from the front office.

 

Nate DID. He tried going big but the refs called a fucking foul on every fucking possession.

His only fault was not taking out Outlaw sooner.

 

But we did nothing wrong, they weren't even questionable calls that could go either way.
If you can't post up, WTF do you suggest?

 

It's on LMA as well. He tried the same move over and over again with the expected result of getting the offensive call. At some point you need to just go to another move because the refs aren't going to let the game by played physical on a particular night.

 

offensive production out of the starting small forward really wasn't a problem at all tonight. i mean, batum played 14 minutes.

the problems tonight were turnovers, not being able to get to the free throw line, and foul trouble.

 

Good News-Still in 4th, no ground lost\
Bad News-The Division crown is looking like a lost cause after each road loss

 

That cake was terrible.

 

The soothing sounds of Tony Luftman to make Blazer fans feel better. What else could be better. haha

 

Hello, MIXUM? Is that you? Yes, we obviously need a SF upgrade. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that this game doesn't ruin a VERY strong first half of the season, especially considering the "questionable" foul calling.

 

Man.. the rookie game is already tomorrow? Talk about a brutal schedule..

 

Oh well... I'm looking forward to All-Star weekend.

 

One positive is that Oden is using that quick baseline move more. It resulted in a nice dunk tonight and should help free up his normal hook shot.

 

So they are supposed to adapt to a flop? What a fucking joke. When the refs call a game like then it takes away all aggressive post moves. Then you are back to playing soft. Oh yeah....and it is always on the road. Does Maggette get away with that shit on the road. Fuck No! The crowd would go balistic. It happens to every team not just the Blazers. I see it every home game the Jazz play. NBA refs are pathetic when it comes to offensive fouls. How they can watch the same guy do it over and over and still fall for it is beyond me. You might as well play small ball because the rules favor it. You barely touch a player 30 feet from the basket and it is impeding their path to the basket. Why wasn't Maggette impeding LMA or Greg? Let them fucking play and stop the Pussy ass calls.

 

Dealing with crap refs is part of the game. It's like he was daring the refs to make the same call over and over again. Guess what, they were consistent with that bad flop call all night.
