Blazers at Lakers Game Thread 2/20/12

@ChrisBHaynes

 

So, I had to leave a dookie right after the game started. It was 3-0 Portland. By the time I get out and look at the score, it's 10-3 LA. It was over then. I should have held it.

 

I heart LA.

 

I'm just disappointed I went with "Brickhouse" instead of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for my musical selection at that point.

 

I'm more pissed that I left the BAND OF BROTHERS marathon on Spike to watch this sorry excuse for a game.

 

So, after the pep talk by his coach and having one decent game to boost his confidence, Felton comes out and makes maybe the worst four turnovers I have seen in one game! He played with Gerald Wallace for years and yet apparently thought he would be parked on the three point line on a fast break??!!

 

Reggie Miller was pointing out how horrible the Blazers were coming out a timeout.

 

I didn't see the game, so how was Batum? 5 assists but 5 TOs, was he given more ballhandling duties?

 

Sadly teams with 30 point leads after the first 2 minutes of the game tend to let up. Maybe a few more embarrassing losses will actually force the Blazers to re-evaluate their infatuation with Mr Sonic

 

I agree that Nate needs to go. Not that he isn't a good coach, but this team has tuned him out. Failton has let the entire team down in that regard. I mean, he's been given crappy players and I get all that, but they just aren't playing for him. We have no shot at the playoffs, so he really needs to just step down.

I think he will.

 

First of all, he isn't a good coach. Secondly, we have a very good shot AT the playoffs, just not a good shot IN the playoffs. And lastly, I agree with you that the team has tuned Nate out.

 

Trade Wallace before you're stuck with him, Larry!

 

This.

 

agree, he's playin worse and worse, but who has any confidence in our "GM team" to get anything done? and we have a lot we need to do, what a cluster...

 

If you are thinking it, you might as well say it. Clusterfuck

 

Oh, that explains it (facepalm).

 

You nailed that one early. Two minutes.

 

Speaking of "clusterfuck" I think we have to assume this team does have a GM at this point ... a chubby bespectacled fellow with bad hair and a fondness for delicacies imported from Seattle. Does he actually think this team is close? Does he get how much work is needed to put this team back on a winning course? Does Nate McMillan have a set of incriminating photos of our "GM" in a compromised position with a farm animal?

So many questions.
