Blazers at Knicks Game Thread 3/14/12

Antonio is right... they're disrespecting the game of basketball.

 

Better than the entire team's -42.

 

So they are completely in character then.

 

Yea... your going over the top here. They both have defiantly given up on this coach but that was after they both gave it there all to start the season.

 

I like watching Babbitt. Yes, that's what it's come to. 8) He rebounds and tries hard, and he really can shoot (now that he's over his stage fright).

 

I love it. I signed into the board to see if any deals had gone down. And you guys are still here. I give you guys credit... wait... no I don't. This is pathetic basketball, and you guys are all just bitching and bitching (which admittedly, is what I would be doing if I had watched the entire game). Just like with the JailBlazers, the only way they listen is for us to take a bigger, better approach. Watching the game and providing ratings (even when being what I'd consider one of the worst teams in the league at this moment) does not provide ownership/management the incentive to improve.

 

I never saw it or heard it. But if you did, I believe you.

 

Professionals must act like professionals, especially when they are getting paid like they are. When I get pissed off at my boss at work, I can't just quit on my job and lose business. I'll be fired. These guys have the luxury of not having that threat over their heads, which in my opinion, makes them even more expectant to play with heart even when times are rough. The players worth their salary do.

 

No you don't. And I frankly don't care. But you never saw this type of basketball with Roy on the roster.

 

It's inevitable.

 

well on the positive side alcohol sales will be going up at the RG.

 

He's far better than Camby.

Given the same minutes he'd average more pts and rebounds than Aldridge has lately.

 

How so? If attendance is cut in half, that would mean people would be drinking twice as much. And I'd have to think we'd be lucky to fill half the arena with more performances like this, except when premier teams are in town and people want to see the visitors win by 60.

 

People buy tickets far prior to games. You think the attendance is going to suddenly cut in half?

 

Disrespecting the game?

Uh, that was the Blazer players, not the Knicks. They were blatantly unprofessional.

 

Tone meant the Blazers...

 

It was a joke, responding to another joke. But let's be honest.... With performances like this, there will be plenty of tickets that will go to waste. I was a season-ticket holder when the crash of the JailBlazer era occured. There were plenty of games I couldn't make due to work/school, so I would offer them up, and I couldn't give them away for free. That to me tells me that there will be a lot of people who don't show up for games to watch shitty, no-effort games like tonight's game.

 

BS. These guys just talk.

Camby: "It’s the players fault. Coach (is) doing a great job of giving us the game plan and we’re doing a poor job of ... executing it."

Wallace: "They’re just coming down, throwing the ball up, jacking up threes at will, celebrating, dancing on the court. ..." (cont)

Wallace: "This (stuff) tonight was embarrassing. It was hurtful. And it was frustrating as (beep). They’re throwing lobs and they’re up 40."

 

Yep. All night you could hear him getting angrier and angrier... there were a couple of kinda dark moments.

 

Fuck off, Gerald. Play like you give a rat's ass and you won't BE down 40 with them throwing lobs.
