Back from the RG, cheap ($26) tickets just above the Lexus section. LMA dominated Scola and the Rockets, Nic played well, Matthews struggled on offense but hustled, Miller didn't shoot much yet passed, and Mills was a great sparkplug. LMA is looking like a quasi-#1 option. I didn't spend years trashing the guy because I saw what he can do on both ends of the court, but I do look forward to see the bandwagon following he gets from the LaMarshmellow crowd as he continues to draw double-teams, yet still produce.
Damn, I wish I would have known you were going. It would have been fun to meet! I sat with a buddy, center court, 10 rows up. Great seats! Patty was a blast to watch! So much energy and hustle! LMA and Camby also played great!
I was there too, near where you were Pokerdog. Is there any doubt this team is more fun to watch without Roy? The run the court, fly high for dunks, and have better spacing. Its a more exciting brand of bball. Of course I miss BRoy, blah blah blah - just sayin, right now, they play more ENTERTAINING basketball.
Was at the game too. I was surprised how few people there were there but it was still a pretty good atmosphere. My favorite part other than some dude yelling "BaaaaAAAABBITTTTTT!" with about 4 minutes left, was the guy in front of me catching a shirt that read, "Camp Collins Summer Camp 2010". I was dying laughing. As far as the game, of course blowouts are fun to watch. The team's hustle is so different than it has been in the past. It's great to watch. I love Patty mills when he isn't making stupid passes or trying to do too much on offense. For most of the game he fit that profile. Aldridge got his points very quietly, but still came out with a great stat line. And finally, I witnessed Sean Marks hit 9 of 10 shots at halftime. Miracles can happen.
I just watched the game. Fantastic win. It was a very important game for both teams and we won it going away. Mills outplayed Brooks. Batum was great. Camby, everyone really. I'm starting to believe Aldridge can make the All Star team. Scola who? They said Aldridge is THIRD in the league in points in the paint? Wow. Wonder what Barkley thinks?
Oh and the end of game was fun because I looked out there and was reminded of my trip to Vegas last summer with Mills, Babbitt, and Buddinger in the game with each other.
well lets see, we beat them decisively with a great team effort on both offense and D and it was very fun to watch, not something we have done too often this season, I would say it was a very good win and something to be very pleased with.
In the last 10 games they have the second best record in the conference so they have been playing well lately. They do though have just about as bad of a road record that we have. We beat them on the road and I'll really be impress.
Yep it's a great win. That is unless you are really just a fan full of spite, negativity, and hostility.
I am very pleased. The team is playing great, and it's a blast to watch every game for the first time in many years.
I secured front row tickets for the game on the 5th. My office has some, and I begged and pleaded with upper management to let me have them for this game. Sadly, it wasn't as hard to get them as in years past. Me and my boys will have our Blazer stuff on.
It's almost like without the "Roy crutch" he's coaching much better to his teams abilities and maximizing them. IMO with Roy he could rely on a conservative ISO oriented offense to win but it would likely never get us out of the first round, and I think it also did not foster development of other players with talent.
Kind of ironic how easy it is to get tickets now that they are so much fun to watch. The bandwagon left just when things got interesting. I myself was on that departing bandwagon as long as Roy was playing horribly for 38 minutes/night. But since he was shelved I haven't missed a broadcast. I might even have to plan a trip out to see a game this year.
I think, in his mind, he has no other choice? Nate's big problem is that he likes to have 1 guy be the man, and run things through him. This happened in GS after the Blazers won 3 in a row at home sharing the ball and letting the guards handle the offense. In the game at GS we were force feeding Aldridge the ball and it hurt us. Hopefully Nate continues to just get out of the way
