Blazers vs. Grizzlies Gamethread

18 - 16 after one quarter.

Highlights:
Baron Davis 0 - 5
Steve Novak 0 - 6 (0 - 5 on threes)

And, Mike Miller really came to play once again.

1 shot attempt in 11+ minutes.

There's nothing better than NBA basketball at the highest level.

 

shit, its probably on local LA TV....

 

Novak 0-7 now.

 

Brian Skinner....

haha...Brian Cardinal going hard at Ricky Davis.

 

Telfair looking dope!

 

"I'm tanking this game!"

"No, I'm tanking this game!"

 

Eric Gordon looks like he's about to cry.

 

no one's playing D

 

The vaunted Timberwolves juggernaut is running away from the much ballyhooed Clippers squad - 39 - 33.

Davis and Novak heated up quickly.
They've hit 3 out of their past 5 shots.
They've improved to 3 - 16 for the game.

Mike Miller still has only 1 shot in 16+ minutes.

 

shit, I can't believe McHale is still coaching this team.

 

there's going to look at Ricky Rubio n the halftime show

 

Then again, with such offensive stalwarts running the point for Minnesota... Ollie and Telfair... it's not a surprise they get to take all the shots. They are a combined 7 - 8!

Baron Davis should be shot and put out of his misery immediately. Or, attacked by a Bengal Tiger. Or, by Herb Stalwick, our lucky grand prize raffle winner from Section 105, Seat 12.

Herb, come on down!!!

 

That was one of the best Blazer wins of the season for me.

 

Absolutely. Back from 18 down on the road.

 

Whew! What a half!

Minnesota 47 Clippers 41

Screw the NCAA tourney. You can feel the excitement from the standing-room-only Staples Center crowd through the television set. I'm surprised Baron Davis didn't get injured in that first half. He needs to calm down for his own good. He can't play every second like it's his last. What a trooper!

Hey, Mike Miller took another shot. 2 shots in 20 minutes. Yippee! That's why he gets paid $9+ million per season. He's not afraid to play aggressively and take chances. The Timberwolves are in good hands with him as the team's 7th option for another season.

My only regret with this game is that Ricky Davis and his apprentice, Rashad McCants, can't reunite on the court. McCants is off shooting 2 - 8 in only 10 minutes for the Kings... and Ricky Davis is nursing a fake injury on the Clippers bench.

 

He's still a project unless you're happy with how he is now and don't expect more. I expect that, over time, he'll develop into a much much better player.

 

You could say that about any rookie.

But what you said was serious project and unless you have no idea what that means you are way off base. No amount of back pedaling will change that.

Serious project would imply he has practially no skills now which isn't true.

 

So if I'm unhappy with how he is now, he's a project? I don't get it. Projects generally aren't productive, ala Travis Outlaw for the first few years. Greg Oden is one of our best contributors to this team. Just because we expect and want him to improve, doesn't mean he's a project. He's not.

 

That Oden pic is pretty hilarious. ^
