12/29/2011 Blazers at home vs the Nuggets Game Thread!

Ya he did.

Right now Portland is running the old Rockets offense with Olajuwan, and old Blazer offense with Sabas. Kicking it inside and then holding for a double team so we can get a kick out three. It's a great offense for a team with a dominant low post guy who can pass. Aldridge is close, and the shooters are close.

 

Rich Cho?


I love me some karaoke.

 

What a great start so far! If we could truly get Oden back this year and he gets back to looking like he did before the injury, we could so some damage in the playoffs.

 

Just got back from the game. What a game. Most fun I've had in a long time.

Game ball goes to Jamal, the guy bailed us out every time Denver was about to gain some momentum. DAMN Lawson is quick, I saw on the boxscore he had 8 steals and I'm not surprised. The guy had his hands on every pass it seemed like.

Neither offensive big played well, meh. Both teams did a good job of neutralizing the opposing teams bigs. Aldridge has to do better though, if he's going to be an all-star.

 

Dolly Parton?

 

About sums up the Blazer's desire this season.

 

Islands in the Mothafukkin Stream, yo.

 

I'm sorry could repeat that? All I saw in your post were the words "Oden" and "damage."

 

Hahaha. This reminds me of a guy we used to see downtown karaoke. I forget the name of the place and doubt it is still there. Anywho, he would always sing Purple Rain when he was shit faced and would always, ALWAYS, sing "Purple rain, mother fucking rain. And literally no other words but the chorus

 

Man, if only Greg were healthy. For a relatively raw big man on the offensive end he was a superb passer. Watching him pass to Andre on the cut was a thing of beauty.

 

Ya. I remember being really surprised by his passing skills.

 

Though LaMarcus is also a really good passer, makes great reads, I think our current spacing makes it harder for him to get a pass to a guy cutting down the middle. He does real well passing it off to a guy making the back-cut around him.

 

TO be honest, the doubles on him were pretty damn good. He had no chance to get his dribble on. The few paint scores were from him not even trying to dribble and go to the basket right when he got the ball.

Now I don't think too many teams have the guard speed to be that frustrating. But I would really like to see us force this issue more. We need him to dominate the post.

 

Aldridge had 5 rebounds in 39 minutes

 

18-0

 

He is not in that beast mode I got called out on earlier.

 

Haha. Nice

 

Most current Blazers fans were born in California, hence the boorish and unsportsmanlike behavior.
