Grizzlies @ Blazers - GAME THREAD

Sonics lost Game 3 in Seattle. But then they won two when Nate came back.

 

Roy had the terrible turnover, actually. But lets blame Bayless a lot of people are now and days. He went from flavor of the week to the most hated fairly quickly.

 

Funny, I'm pretty sure #4 was the one who dribbled down the shot clock, then drove into the lane with nowhere to go before having to try tossing it somewhere (and choosing the people sitting on the baseline).

 

Refs do their jobs we aren't having this discussion, or the free throws.

 

I just pray he doesn't know his IP address.

 

Your act has grown tired. I don't think even you believe the ridiculous crap you are posting these days.

For the record, Nate played in 4 games in that series. The Sonics were 2 - 2 in those games. In four games, Nate scored a grand total of 11 points, had 6 assists, pulled down 11boards, had 2 steal and 3 OTs. He was basically a non-factor in that series. The Sonics success was much more dependent on the play of Payton, Kemp, Schrempf, Hawkins and Perkins that anything McMillan did, or didn't do.

Why do you insist on starting these ridiculous tangents? Are you that starved for attention?

Last night's loss is still stinging. There's always a couple games a year that break your heart. Last year Hedo's bank shot vs Orlando, Blake's missed FT's vs. the Clips. This year, it's Oden's missed FT's and last night so far. Usually, I'm over it the next day and can't wait for the next game to take out that aggression - little different story with LA coming to town to play our little 7 man team.

These types of things theoretically even out. For instance, we had no business winning the Houston game last year when Roy hoisted in a 35' rainbow. So I'm hoping we steal a game on a lucky shot. Or, maybe we are the beneficiary of an "official aided" victory - we've been on the other end several times.

BTW - we need to take Memphis to the wood shed. The whole Darius Miles thing last year, and with Zach Randolph on that squad. Plus the beating they put on us at home a while back when they used a 31-2 second quarter run. We go down to their place March 1st. I hope our guys circle that date on the calendar. And next year, when we are back at full strength I hope we smash those guys by 40 at the RG. Play the starters the whole way and run up the score on those clowns.

 

Exactly. They won two on their home court. That tells us nothing about their likelihood of stealing the series in Chicago.
