Ya has anybody else noticed how this year that the stupid fridge promotion that 2 people screwed up and didn't win anything, and the lady tonight just seemed to run around like she couldn't hear the crowd? I was wondering if the blindfold they put on them (its a new blazer blindfold) I noticed the strap for it went over the peoples ears. I was wondering if perhaps, they can't hear the crowd? Either that or we just have a bunch of critically stupid people here in Oregon. Probably the second one.
Actually, it was an EXCELLENT shot by Outlaw. Square up in triple threat position, a couple hard dribbles to his left, stop, and elevate. There was no one on that team who could stop him on that shot. It was a freaking 10 footer with no clear viewing for Trav..how is that not a good shot? Some of you guys kill me... More Bayless. His defense is incredible. Anyone else notice Stuckey become invisible once Bayless went on him? I am all for dealing Surge or Blake to make room for Bayless. He hit a nice jumper too and he shows emotion. Anyone else love his aggressiveness to attack the basket? We need more of that. Joel's wrist is affecting his play. He wasn't as dominating on the glass and it looks like his FT's are being hurt by it too, but I wouldn't want to be without him on my team though. He is a warrior! Greg looked okay tonight. He needs to quit double clutching on dunks when he is open. Just jump and dunk. I don't blame him for the 3rd foul...can you say phantom? but he has some of the dumbest fouls...until he can learn to stay on the court, he'll have a hard time progressing. Rudy is great, but he is just as reckless with the ball as Outlaw can be, but for some reason he is exempt from bashing b/c he is Rudy. Finally, why do we not attack the hoop when we have the other team in the penalty with 6 mins to go? For some reason Nate took out Bayless in the 4th who was our only player getting to the line..ugh just play the kid more!
I really want Bayless to start. Sergio is cool and all, nothing personal against him, he's been playing great, but I think Steve Blake would be one of the best if not the best backup PG in the league, just like Joel became one of the best back up centers in the league. Start Bayless. Bring Blake off the bench. Save Sergio for emergencies or send him somewhere where he'll get to play more.
Greg got going early with a couple of baskets in the 1st quarter, including one where he got fouled (but missed the FT) but he picked up 2 fouls in the first quarter and sat out until about 5-6 minutes left in the 2nd. He was whistled for #3 within seconds and went right back to the bench. He started the 3rd quater, but again picked up an early foul and it was a bad one. He didn't box out Kwame, who got an offensive rebound right underneath the basket and Greg had to foul him from behind to save a dunk (Luckily, Kwame missed both FT's) Then we didn't see Greg again until about 4-5 minutes left in the game, in which he was a complete non-factor. One of those "learning process" games.
How do you see the games in HD? I get LeaguePass through Comcast, but the games are in standard definition.
In the Portland area, channel 788 (I think) is HD for some Comcast broadcasts. Seattle doesn't have any such option, in spite of me paying an arm and a leg to Comcast. Ed O.
Jerryd's defense tonight is a good example as to why I am excited about him for the future. He is a great backcourt partner for Roy.
