Good Game guys. You can see the Blazers bench will be very strong later in the year and this young team has the makings of being a beast in a year or two. You have a whole decade of good ball to look forward to IMO. Should be a great game in Portland later in the year
There really isn't a huge difference between the Celtics fanbase and Blazers fanbase, IMO. Both have gotten pretty good relatively quickly and enjoy inflating their perception of their own team...except only the Celtics have something real to base that off of. This described the Nets fanbase too for the post KMart-era (since they had back-to-back ECF wins to back them up). ...KG is overrated though.
guess you missed the 2 17footers off of the dribble which Blake nor Surge can do, or the lightning quick moves to the hoop to get to the line 4-6 times..and he actually doesn't get scared..
Embarrassing loss imo. The team collapsed in the 3rd. Then the bench got us to 11 and Nate gave up and didn't put the starters back in.
Boston = Eastern Conf team Portland = Western Conf team. All Eastern Conference teams play 1 home and 1 road game vs Western Conf teams and vice versa.
umm 21 minus 7 is 14, Celtics won by 15 and alas all buckets scored while the clock is running count, so you can't erase the 21 to zip run
That might be a concern for the Celtics considering the age of the starters. They might wear down as the season goes on without a deep bench.
Well, on to Toronto. We'll actually beat them to Canada. I suspect we'll want to get out of Boston ASAP. That was a huge dump we laid on their court. The cleanup crew is going to have a big job on their hands.
KG only yells at inferior players/young kids. I watched Detroit and Boston play a couple weeks ago and KG didn't say a word to Sheed. Nothing other than regular trash talk, not taunting like he did to Roy and Bayless, which didn't get called. He knows Sheed isn't afraid.
Sounds like a great player to play off of Roy ala Jack, but the turnovers won't cut it in a close game. I think it's a stretch to say Bayless proved in garbage time, and much of it against Eddie House, that he is now better than Blake or Roy.
