Good win against a sub par team. Nice to see Blake and Webster break out of their shooting slumps. Strong game from Oden and Joel. Other than poor FT shooting and poor defense in 1st half, a solid win.
I didn't say Joel played bad, but Oden just had a much bigger impact on the game, both offensively and defensively.
Sorry, I was trying to be sarcastic, as it was a pretty big blowout. But I agree, the kid is dominating, let him go out there and build more confidence.
Yes, I read your posts and I saw that you said he "looked good tonight" but did you actually watch the third quarter or were you referring to the box score? Honest question. Why can't you answer it? Blake's not perfect but he's certainly not the "***got" some make him out to be. He's a very good PG and was the best player on the floor tonight, by far.
Why can't I answer? Calm down. Don't be defensive. I'm not attacking Blake. Again, I like Blake. I've seen him look like he did during the third quarter before (so yes, I did watch the third quarter), but I've seen Martell tear it up, and until a player can dominate consistently, I'm not going to get too excited. I'm try not to completely tear a player after his worst performance just as I try not to get too excited after a very solid appearance. Just as Blake looked good in the third quarter, I've also seem him piss games away.
I just want to make sure it's known. Blake gets crucified in here and people keep saying that no one gets the ball to Oden. But Blake got the ball to Oden, often two or three times during a single possession. He also created most of Oden's baskets. All ODen had to do was finish wide open dunks.
I get not having him out there for the last 5-6 minutes of the game, when things turned real sloppy. But Oden should have gone out for a couple more minutes. But I hear Blake told Nate not to put Oden back in.
To be fair, we also need to give credit to Blake for a lot of the blocked shots that Oden, Przy, and some of the other guys have had this year. Blake letting his man burn him down the lane provided opportunities for guys to get some blocked shots.
Without Webster going off this game would have been close down the stretch. You the man for the night, Webs.
Excellent point! Blake Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake. Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Blake Blake Blake Blake. Seriously man. Blake. Then post.
Only Webster can knock down shots for himself. He hadn't been doing that very well the past few games. I'll give the credit to Webster for bouncing back and getting the job done.
Game ball to Webster. This game was starting to look like a mirror image of last night, and someone needed to give this team a jump start. After he hit those threes the rest of the team loosened up and it was all good after that. That's how I thought Martel would play at the start of the season, hope he can keep it up and make me look good. He just needs to quit doing risky stuff when we're up 20. We can't afford to lose anyone else.
