Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread (Merged)

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

Ok, I think some of y'all need to try the stomp and shout method too -- as ugly as it was, the sky is STILL not falling. Put away your concrete umbrellas.

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

Exactly, although it's still not a given that the team is making the playoffs.

by the way, did anyone catch the angle of the dangle on Trout's finger....YOUCH

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

No shit. Pop's goin' KRAZY KONG on the boards tonight!

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

Unfortunately, at this point in the season, "one f'ing game' is a big deal. Can be the difference between challenging for the #2 seed and falling to the #8 seed.

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

So... you're saying I shouldn't get mad about losing to an inferior team, and just about end our hopes of advancing in the playoffs.

Gotcha.

These losses happen. We matchup very poorly against Philly, but this was about as much of a "must win" as there is during this homestand. It was especially more important after finding out the Denver lost. I don't understand your problem with people venting out their frustrations over the loss.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

So no criticism of player when they post a bad game? Yes he's our best player by far. Just not tonight. Tonight he was in a word, terrible.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

Seriously you are thick.

I am starting to pity your ignorance.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

No we are not fans. I bow down to Roy, regardless of his play. When he plays like he's kin to Zbo, I'll say it. This was easily his worst game that I've ever seen him play. Playing bad happens, playing selfish all fucking game and whining to the refs while the rest of the team is trying to stop a fast break started by your selfish play is bullshit.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

Criticism is fine. But saying he's a greedy asshole like some others above, is overboard.

The guy deserves more respect than that, even if he has a bad game....

and if Philly's defense can shut him down, so be it, but I saw a lot of standing around from our other guards/fowards (except LMA).

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

Haven't you been listening to Sodapopinski? It was Brandon's fault he didn't get calls when he got hacked over and over.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

Get over it. Go root for the lakers man.. seriously. you guys are way to sensitive about the blazers.


He got mugged. My opinion is the ref's blew some calls. Yours isn't. but no need to come on here throwing shit on our best player on the team were supposed to support.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

I never called him greedy, just saying he forced the issues on a night when the defense was shutting him down.

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

It's Brandon's fault he deferred and deferred and deferred and then expected to get superstar calls at the end of the game. You heard Mike and Mike say it several times throughout the game that the officials reward the aggressive teams and aggressive players. Brandon spent the entire evening dancing around the perimeter and getting scared of double-teams.

If he plays like he normally does and attacks early and often, (A) we're probably not in a close game at the end; and (B) he'd get those calls at the end of the game.

They were bad calls, but Brandon didn't deserve calls with the way he played tonight. That's just the way the NBA works.

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and WE BENT OVER

So in your NBA, obvious fouls should not called if you feel a player doesn't deserve them.

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and I'M SHOUTING LIKE A MORON!

You seem to be illiterate.

Illiterate means you can't read.

They're all of equal importance, especially with 12 (now 11) to go, and make no mistake, I was mad as hell, at Roy (for whining at the non-calls) as well as Philly for out-playing us. But you guys are acting like andro-raging idiots.

Portland will bounce back.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

Alright, keep drinking the kool aid. Anyone with any semblance of intelligence can see that Roy played like Corey Magette tonight, which is very uncharacteristic of him.

 

Re: Philadelphia 76ers @ Portland Trail Blazers 3/23/2009 Game Thread

I agree with the observation, if not the way you... "people" are expressing it.

 

Oden with the game winner on a dunk! That was an awesome game. Wait....a blocking foul on LMA. Game goes to overtime. What a horrible loss.

Don't tell me games aren't decided by the refs. Not saying LMA didn't slide into him, just that it almost always comes down to the refs because most calls can go either way. This why I love and hate NBA basketball. In OT down by two and LMA gets wacked across the arm and no foul? And I mean wacked! Very frustrating. Very inconsistent.

 

Re: Philly danced on our floor tonight and I'M SHOUTING LIKE A MORON!

Yeah, you can curb the condescension and personal attacks. As it is, you seem to be perfectly satisfied with keeping "perspective," which is just as good as lowering expectations, in my mind.

Actually, it's you that seems to be illiterate. All I said originally was that this loss "just about" sealed our fate of not having HCA for the playoffs, and you interpreted that as an andro-raging act (whatever the fuck that means).
