I'm not sure either has the head for this stage? Not hating on them, but boy oh boy do they look discombobulated when they are out there.
I guess I was hoping Outlaw was too "aloof" (read: dumb) to really get anxious for this kind of basketball. Just thought he would play his own game, but he clearly hasn't been able to cope with Battier and Artest.... or Lowry. And there's no excuse for not being able to score at will on Kyle Lowry. Could you imagine if we put Bayless on Artest... and it totally shut him down? Ugh. Blake is a choker and his performance has not surprised.
Wtf is up with hating on Blake? You have to have a scapegoat? Steve played great. 16pts, 10ast, 3rbs, 2tos, 6-11fg%, 4-7 from deep This crap gets old. They lost a close to a good team on the road. Get the hell over it. Good game Blakey! Go Blazers
Blake was slow to rotate on about four straight possessions. He had a great third quarter hitting some key shots and actually passing the ball to Oden. And then he made the worst play of the fucking series so far by hoisting up a 24 footer with lots of time left. This post was way before that shot, however.
