Trail Blazers @ Jazz Game Thread

What Thibodeau has done with Boston's defense is amazing.

 

Tom Thibodeau would be a great choice.

 

You won't be able to pry Thibodeau from Boston though.

 

I know it would be tough, and I don't know his contract and how you would go about it but Paul Allen has tons of cash to spread away. I don't think that Rivers is going to go anywhere in the near future and TT might want his shot????

 

the loss to the Magic and this loss can be summed up with one stat: 6-27 from 3pt range. thats 22%

 

paul allen said he will spend money to win championships. money solves everything. we could get him if we wanted.

but i still have some faith in nate

 

Those were extremely good three point shooters taking those shots. They just didn't fall tonight. When we won in Utah last season, they fell.

 

I couldn't find Tom's contract situation, but did find one website somewhere that mentioned that he might not have a contract for next year. I am going to pretend that we are going to sign him after the Celtics win the title this year and all will be cool with me from now on.

 

i hate mart harpring.

btw am i the only one that thought the flagrant foul was bogus?

 

Nope, the result looked bad but that was mostly ball.

 

I don't think you can blame the refs for that, real time it looked pretty bad. I thought Channing was pretty aggressive throughout the game though, at least he recognizes his weakness and tries to improve on it.

I too hate Matt Harpring, although I'd love him if he was a Blazer. I think you could say that for most of the Jazz team, which is a credit to them.

 

any report on Webster?

 

Yeah, you are right. I think that flagrant foul calls should be something they can use instant replay for. The head on camera shots showed that it wasn't a flagrant IMO.

 

Harpring's reaction to it moreso got the flagrant since Channing tried helping him up, but Harpring reacted like someone shot him. It was bogus, and I thought Channing tried a little bit more to be aggressive on the defensive end. He just didn't enough burn.

 

Webster wouldn't make a huge difference anyway. We have a collection of mediocre threes. I think Batum will be good in a few years but he's just not ready right now. Btw, Webster is out another 4-6 weeks.

 

That Oden pic shows he has pretty good hops even now dead tired out of shape and one year from MF.


Good.

 

That goal tending call on Oden was bs. I don' t know if they showed it again on TNT, but they did on KGW and Oden hit the ball before it hit the backboard.
