No, it's all good. I'm sure it's not an easy thing, I doubt I'd have done any better. Honestly though, the two chicks that got to shoot free throws for the shoe mill gift certificate made the same amount as you. Did you consider trying the last few underhanded?
Yes. I'm talking about his rebounding in the second half. On several posessions he didn't even bother to block his man out...he watched the ball go up and started jogging the other way. Greg's a huge body that will get rebounds, doesn't mean that he shouldn't block out when the shot goes up.
they just picked people they asked me if i could eat a lot and i said look at me im a twig and then they asked me if i could shoot a freethrow and i said ya and signed me up you just gotta look out for people with headsets basically they are the people scouting for people lol
Dude, the rib contest was stomach turning. Looking at your size during the free throw shoot, there's no way you were in the same league as the eaters, I think you chose the right contest!
haha yeah whats funny is that when i got to the free throw line i was like oh this isnt so bad and then i was short a whole lot and i go oh fuck gotta jump gooooooootta jump haha
Haddadi didn't out anything Oden tonight. Greg left the game with 2:59 left and was replaced by Michael Ruffin. At that point Hddadi had 4 points and 3 rebounds to Oden's 12 and 9. Haddadi did half of his "damage" during the last 2:59 against Ruffin - a player that's 6 - 7" shorter than he is. Since when is disagreeing with your opinion the same as taking something personal - especially when your opinion doesn't seem to be based on facts or agree with what the majority of people saw with their own eyes? I'm not saying the majority is always right, but if your opinion differs from the majority, you can't expect people not to disagree. BNM
No he didn't. He had exactly one dunk - for 2 or his 12 points. When you can't get simple facts like this straight, it makes it hard to take the rest of your argument seriously and makes me wonder if you even watched the game. BNM
When Hadidi went head to head with Greg, he took a board Oden should have EASILY had. He also posted right up on greg for an And1. He drew a few fouls on greg and outboarded him. Read the game thread as it happened, several people pointed out Hadidi when he replaced Gasol and was doing things he shouldn't have been able to do against G-O head-to-head. And if you bothered to read the post I was referring to, Erroneous Subterfuge was trying to take a few shots at me personally, which I responded to. He was being an ass, so I felt the need to tell him to get over himself.
Perhaps, I don't really fault him for trying to play...lots of teams don't get medical relief..its more the exception than not.
and regarding his rebounding, he got 4 offensive boards within 2 seconds. 3:11 MEM - Shooting foul on H. Haddadi 3:11 POR - G. Oden offensive rebound 3:11 POR - G. Oden offensive rebound 3:11 POR - G. Oden misses a tip in 3:11 POR - G. Oden offensive rebound 3:11 POR - G. Oden misses a tip in 3:12 POR - T. Outlaw offensive rebound 3:12 POR - T. Outlaw misses a tip in 3:14 POR - T. Outlaw misses a 4-foot jumper in the lane most of them were due to him not being able to tap the ball in, he hit the corner of the rim/backboard and got 4 of his 5 O-boards on that one play. he did get fouled on his last shot attempt though and sank the two FTs.
i didn't get to see the game tonight but after looking over the box score, why in the hell did LMA play 39 minutes? what was the need for him to be out there in a game we handled from the first quarter on?
It seems he was left there a bit two long, probably could have had his time in the 4th cut down greatly as the Grizz were showing no signs of coming back...they were just terrible in the second half. maybe its establishing some confidence in LMA as a primary scoring option now? He's been playing spectacularly.
I think that shows exactly how much confidence Nate has in Frye. Outlaw and Batum are hurt, so playing them a ton of minutes wasn't going to happen. My best guess is that since he was resting the other 4 starters the entire 4th quarter, he wanted to have some stability in so Memphis couldn't cut the lead in half and force him to play everyone else.
I was impressed with the way he was active on both ends, ran the pick-and-roll and got to the FT line. I wasn't really impressed with his 5 ORB in less than 22 minutes as I've come to take that aspect of his game for granted. BTW, when I read your criticisms of Greg's game tonight, they sound much more like Darko than Greg. Greg is a rookie who's been injured and is still learning the game, but he's already so much better than Darko. At least Greg, as a rookie, makes an impact and looks like he belongs in the NBA. Darko is in his 5th season and still doesn't have any decent low post moves. He looks totally unathletic and like he just doesn't belong in the NBA. BNM
well, i think greg is less awkward than Kwame or Darko....but he's no where near where he needs to be for him to have a big impact on the blazers success or be an elite center in the league. thankfully with LMA playing as well as he has, he really doesn't need to. A lot of his time was garbage time and I frankly expected him to be more impactful on the offensive end especially during this time instead of getting shown up by Hadidi. I liked that he started going straight up and fouling less on some of the post shots he was defending...but he still doesn't look as good as he did before his knee chip. I'm still waiting for more of a set low-post offense from him rather than just working off dribble penetrations of our wings. IN that respect, he's awkward at least tonight.
