Anyone want to recap that first?
I’m only following on BE and somewhat on the lagging Gamecast. Was this good offensive play, hot shooting, bad ATL play?
We did good
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Especially Roy and LMA
Oden was doing great, 4 rebs but had two fouls so was yanked

steal of the game has gone down since last year
where’s the multigame tickets? or pairs?
I will throw my mouthpiece across the court if I disagree with you.
The new target market is lonely people.

OKC down 1
31 seconds left, they have the ball and just took a timeout
Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.

that was close

Durant is NOT clutch
2 airballs and a missed free throw at the end of the 4th quarter and overtime
He’ll have one more chance. down 3 with 18 left

our hands are real fast today
swipinat all them balls
I will throw my mouthpiece across the court if I disagree with you.
Oden just snatched that one away

TROUT!!!!!!!!
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Zaza is nasty though
It wouldn’t be easy
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
I just told my roommate that any time Greg is against someone named Zaza, he’s gotta get the ball.
free bayless
Agreed.
Zaza is tough, though; one of the few players in the league to stand up to KG.

OKC had so many chances
Durant looked as bad in the last few minutes as he did during the entire game against us.
Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.

He missed his last 5 shots, the last critical one an airball....

It went into OT. Versus a first quarter in the NBA? Easy call!

Damn fouls

have they been legit fouls? I just found a link.....

yeah, one he smacked a guy in the face, another he bumpbed crawford i think it was on the drive
can’t remember the other…mostly dumb fouls.

how long is it going to take for Nate to work that out

I only like 3 guard lineup
When two of the guards are Rudy and Roy, not two points

love to see miller take the ball to the rim
the lack of penetration from our point guards was a weakness last year
Sergio got in the paint
he just couldn’t do anything once he got there.

Brilliant.
Nate calls a TO between Free Throws, to call the play of “Outlaw dribbles it out and cranks a 40% jumper.”

Steve Blake is an inferior shooting guard to Jerryd Bayless, Rudy Fernandez, and Martell Webster.
free bayless
He's an inferior PG to Bayless as a backup in my eyes.
Blake is only as good as the teammates around him. Bayless can at least create shots and break down the defense.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
Trying to showcase Outlaw's skills
Before the big trade.
EPIC FAIL!
I thought he did OK in the first half.
A couple bonehead plays, but overall, not too shabby.
formerly rockingharder
Yeah...
I’m just thinking about that last play where he takes the ball up the court.
Well, yeah. That was dumb. But I'm willing to concede that it may have been Nate's fault.
formerly rockingharder
How do we get Greg to stop fouling?
Is it a tic? Brain cramps? It’s not like he’s physically outmatched at this point.
So sad
but so true
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
At least we're not Utah
44-18 in the 4th….ouch
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Just another reason why preseason
really should be ignored
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Jack is a better player than Blake.
Blake’s usefulness is entirely dependent on his teammates being really good.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
I watched Jack in the Toronto/Orlando game...
And every stupid screwup he made, I was really happy that he wasn’t a Blazer.
Nice guy. Intense. But he makes lots and lots of stupid turnovers…
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Well, I didn't say Jack was a good player.
=)
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
True enough. Which says a lot about Blake, I reckon.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
ugh...
Rudy- 9 minutes
Blake- 16
That just shouldn’t be happening. Especially with Miller running pt.
Something is wrong with this picture.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
When Miller has 8 assists and no turnovers
Blake should just sit. Its beyond me
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
He doesn't tend to make mistakes.
Though, I think he’s making more this year. I think he’s trying too hard since Miller is here.
formerly rockingharder
He doesn't tend to do anything
other than shoot ugly three pt shots either.
It’s hard to make mistakes when you’re not doing much.
Exactly.
He doesn’t bring much to the table, but he doesn’t take much away either.
formerly rockingharder
He's like the Anti-Travis, in that Trout brings a lot to the table and takes a lot off.
formerly rockingharder
When Miller is playing well...
Blake shouldn’t be playing 16 minutes in a half in favour of Webster/Rudy.
Is that why the players were carrying those stupid balls on opening night?
When they were walking down the aisles?
That was my thought.
It didn’t keep a fewguys from holding two balls with one hand though. B Roy, Pryz and a couple others.
I am the law!
The blazers really started folding when they matched (or attempted to) the tempo.
Get a 12 point lead, slow down.
I am the law!
Once again a guard kills us
Only this time Martell’s D on Joe Johnson didn’t let him get started and he has been in a funk ever since. Maybe Martell should have played in the second and guarded Crawford.
"I saw him in the face" Sergio's quote on the latest alley-oop to Rudy.
I hope we win
We are a better team.
Oden… your per-minute stats are amazing.
STOP FOULING. 2 fouls were needless. You’d have a double double by now if ya didn’t do one of them.
Sometimes I wonder
if the coaches are really telling him that fouls are a problem.
“Way to stay aggressive big fella…” “Nothing cheap” etc.
That might be the better alternative though
Make him worry less about the fouls, and just play.
Instead of making him tentative by, within the game, harping on the fouls.
Depends.
Do you think Oden reads bedge?
Oden… send me a cashiers check. I have got a hot lead on some dead person’s estate in Nigeria.
I am the law!

the vast improvement in the Hawks shooting % was
from having the 3 worst defenders on the team on the floor at the same time

you probaby don’t want to hear any gloating here, but i suspect we have a lot in common …tons of talent , but no one in the national media ready to realize it..

Nate has gotten out coached five games in a row and that doesn’t include the horrible performance he had last year in the playoffs when he single handedly pissed that series away
