I dunno what to say. 3 blocks on miller, 2 on bayless..... Roy only 3 points, cant split a double team..... Defense is shitty from the perimeter..... must not be our time yet boys,.
Nash has 7 turnovers, Amare has 1 rebound, Rudy and Martell are finally hiting shots, and we are down 12. This sucks.
Started out? It's all we do. Thank god for our amazing best young coach in the league and his defensive genius keeping us in these games... :armscrossed:
The last 5 minutes or so we were playing individualistic basketball. If they fix that and cut down on turnovers they have a chance. Reign it in Bayless, step it up Roy.
Luckily we have such an efficient offense, or we might not have scored 41 against those defensive Suns. Maybe it's more the players and not the offense? Hopefully the Blazers can come back and get this one.
I just happened to see this from Bill Simmons: 12. Danny Crawford Just the facts according to our guy Alok Pattani. Starting with the 2001 playoffs: A. The Mavs are 2-16 in playoff games officiated by Crawford since 2001 (including Game 3 of the Spurs series, a loss) ... and 46-39 in all other playoff games. They won their first 2001 playoff game with him (Game 5 versus Utah), so they've lost 15 of the past 16. B. Against the spread, the Mavs are 4-14 with Crawford officiating ... and 45-40 in all other playoff games. C. They averaged 21.9 free throws in the Crawford games; 27.1 free throws in the non-Crawford games. So why does Danny rank so highly in the power rankings? Because any NBA official who can keep his job post-Donaghy with a documented history of bias against a particular team has to be commended. I'm being sarcastic. What a joke. The league could easily avoid these situations by admitting that, yes, from time to time, a team rubs an official the wrong way, and officials are human, and there's nothing we can do about this other than making sure the official and the team cross paths as little as possible -- like Crawford and Dallas, like Bill Kennedy and Boston, like Joey Crawford and San Antonio (1-4 in Crawford's five Spurs playoff games since he was suspended for ejecting Tim Duncan in 2007) -- but apparently it's easier to stick our heads in the sand and pretend this stuff isn't going on. You know, because Tim Donaghy's documented-by-the-FBI, staggeringly successful record of picking winners by playing on the biases of officials against certain teams didn't really happen. Even though it did. Let's just move on.
I realize that Rudy gave back the two threes he made with a turnover and a defensive lapse, but he looked like he was feeling it. I think he should have been left in the game, because the only way the Blazers could win this is if they had a player who was crazy hot.
God fucking damn it....our defense against the Suns has been so fucking terrible......NATE YOU NEED TO FUCKING CHANGE SOMETHING
2 dudley flops in the lasst minute and the fuckin refs bite both times. looks like gentrys constant bitching is payin off
