litterally making them our lap dogs and them liking it…

I rec’d the post too …. Love me some fatty, just wish he’d get his butt in gear and return to pre self bann form.

I’m not sure where I will go with it, though. I am going to treat the players with respect when I talk about them, but I’m not afraid to talk about what is wrong with what they are doing or say “Brandon Roy was terrible last night, can we have less whining please!”

For many of us the Blazers have already overachieved, so we won’t hold the players over the fire for not making it further… I’m sure there are lots of reasonable reasons for not being tougher on the Blazers right now.

But I get it. The game is rough, and the refs will give you nothing. Get tough and make room for yourself in the playoffs. Blazers fans, get real about this team and push them to be more than we had planned.

Thanks fatty a.k.a. Brandon Roy.

The problem was they didn’t play the “sissy” ball they were playing during the regular season where they were one of the top rebounding teams and started to figure out how to shut teams down towards the end of the year. Sure they needed to see what playoff basketball was all about. Now they have and I am confident they can raise their level of play to that of the Rockets. They got punched in the mouth. Now they need to punch back. One of the questions I do have is whether they will be allowed to punch back.

First Yao got hot and Blazers could not do anything about that, cuz he is too tall to block him. Then Brooks burned Blazers on few positions just going inside. Sp Blazers started to play defense to prevent penetration, and Brooks, Wafer were hitting jumpers with no hand in the face, cuz Blazers wanted to take away the penetration. The other thing was Frye did not do anything positive. He did not bock out 40 year old Mutambo, and the Rockets got some offensive rebounds. Brooks broke our defense down, and even when he missed Thrilla, LMA were out of position to rebound cuz they were helping out, so Yao and others got second chance points in the paint. The rest is history after that. Blazers gave up near the end of the second quarter.

If one of the greatest strengths of the Blazers is their depth and one of the biggest weaknesses of the Rockets is their lack of depth why aren’t we trying to foul more?

It seems like we should be playing more agressive which would result in more fouls for us and more fouls for them.

Where does my logic fail? What am I not getting?

That is the coolest nickname of all time. Kobe should have had it earlier in his career.

Is it true that he has never won an MVP award?

But really all I needed was to look at the title apparently. Ranting and swearing and trolling aside, “Just man up, Blazers!” sums things up nicely. It’s time for the Baby Blazers to grow up a little more.

Not that they’ve had many baby-blazer moments this year, but Game 1 was one of them.

 …. Rosie O’Donnell criticizing someone for their looks.

Not that I put fatty into the same category as Rosie. Rosie is a first class idiot. fatty ain’t.

the blazers need to man up to win against the rockets. the playoffs are all about aggression and the rockets were more aggressive in game 1. the refs award aggression because thats just how it works in the playoffs. yes there were a few bad calls that went both ways, but to say the blazers lost because they werent aggressive due to the early bad calls just leads one to think it was a bad coaching job by mcmillan for not making his team keep playing aggressively.

For the blazers to have a chance tonight they MUST match the intensity and aggressiveness of the Rockets.

we don’t wanna be “more softer” than the damn players! (or fatty’s backside :)
