Clippers @ Blazers 1/10/2012 - Game Thread!

But but... The world voted, and they all agreed that we are legit!

 

Tipsy, tired, and satisfied. Good game, and good night, y'all.

 

Yeah I think I'm gonna crash too. GREAT WIN GUYS!!!!!

 

HCP--yeah, I had glitches on Comcast NBA LP tonight.

 

You guys act as if it was a blowout. With 23 seconds left, we were 3 up, but they went into foul mode, we shot free throws 5 for 6, and won by 8.

My internet stream kept freeze framing.

 

My only concern is that Orlando has been chiilin' here in town since last Sunday night. Will be rested and D12 had a HORRIBLE last game. Hope we bring the intensity.

 

There are times when you can see how good Felton can be; a couple times when he was like a blur; dribbling right down the gut, spinning and laying off to Wallace or Aldridge all in one motion. But overall he is not pushing the ball, sometimes not taking advantage when it is clear the defense is not set. I think it's his conditioning, which also may have contributed to his turnover near the end of the game. I would really like to see him hire a personal trainer and a personal chef (I have read his favorite foods are all fatty and greasy) and really try to fulfill his great potential.

 

Felton is a cross between Andre Miller and Jerryd Bayless. Felton's first priority is to rush to the basket. His second priority is to maintain court vision while he does that. Sometimes he arrives at the basket and makes an ill-timed pass to a big man, who can't recover in time for a smooth layup.

 

Nope, my DVR had it all recorded perfect.

Perhaps the guy leaving her bedroom accidentally kicked the cable jack err something.

 

I really don't like the Clips. They are a bunch of whiners. I also don't like the ref crew we had last night. That was the same crew that reffed the preseason game in Utah. Maybe the worst crew in NBA history

 

Agree with both of these. Those refs were terrible. For both sides. For the game as a whole.
And I hate the clippers. And that is mainly Griffin and Paul. I remember Blake's first game of his career, I commented how he had horrible body language, and that doesn't seem to have changed. Every star player whines and exoects to get calls. He expects EVERYTHING. I saw a game, I think against Houston last week or before, where he missed an alleyoop, a guy BARELY had his hand on his hip, and he flipped out on the ref. As if he received a flagrant foul. And then stood on the other side, while Hou. shot a FT, and had his body turned sideways, not looking at the rim. Hate him and his whining.

 

That's the great thing about our team. U rarely see us complaining. Man I remember the days when pdx was known as a whining team. Drexler was the chief of whine. Even the sheed days, we did our fair share. These guys come out and play and do it with professionalism. It's nice to see.

 

Who said blowout? This was almost as tight as they come. Almost as tight as their win over us on the 1st. Against a really good team (and I think the Clips are a really good team), I still think it's worth celebrating.

 

Clyde was the chief of whine??? Say it ain't so! Maybe my memory is colored by youth, but I don't remember him (or anyone on that team) being a whiner...

 

Oh man yes the team whined like crazy. They complained about EVERY CALL! And as a complete Blazer homer; even I was a little embarrassed about it.

 

Caron Butler has some crazy eyes! Does anyone else notice the resemblence?
