I'd like to see C. Smith get a few shots in the second half.
Whoever it was defending him couldn’t do much about it.
Creepy long camera shot on two random girls in Houston crowd
by the Houston camera crew…odd
Tell me again why we traded Miller?
finally
Batum gets some time not playing with Craw at point…Hopefully this helps to open Nate’s eyes a little.
KILLIN IT BATUM!!!!
Craw actually has 2 assists to Batum, tonight.
I think Nate laid it out for him.
AND (!)
i tweeted @ him last night about how he’s continuously missing batum on the wings.
im taking credit for those two assists if nate is.
PHILLY!
He's been sitting out there on the 3 line begging for it. FEED HIM!

I'm venturing to guess that management probably prefers to keep Nic over Wallace.
Not because he’s better, but his game fits better to Aldridge. LaMarcus gets the doubles so they want a guy who has a more dependable jumpshot when Aldridge can’t get a shot.
couldnt even Imagine what round he would go
or if people would even draft him as a quarterback

I had to leave for the 2nd quarter
what’d Nolan Smith do?
Sucks
N smith hasn’t been able to anything. Cole and Morris both picked after are getting quality minutes and experience. Both on better teams then PDX. Good drafting and good coaching.
I'm not hating on Batum, I'm just saying that he only scores as much as his defender ignores him. To be a star you gotta be able
to score on your defender one on one.
I dont think anyone is saying he's a star
but a real solid starter and contributor, more than his minutes have suggested

Go to the freaking rim LMA
your jumpshot is crap right now! GO TO THE RIM
We need to capitalize by taking it to the rim
and not shooting crappy jumpers

I think all of this playing Craw at the 1 and not having any sort of faith in the backup PG we drafted
is gonna come back to bite us
Fun fact
Raymond Felton is tied with Lamar Odom for lowest 3P% in the NBA, minimum 30 attempts. 17%.
So basically he shoots a worse % than Andre…only difference is at least Andrew barely ever attempted shots he knows he can’t hit.

I'm seeing that Aldridge's motor is a lot lower than ever thought.
It’s not exactly that he’s “LaMarsha” but rather he’s not a high motor guy like Wallace that can scrap for the rebounds night in and night out. So on a good night like last night he might get 7 rebounds (he’s not a rebound hound anyway) but on a second night of a back to back, his energy is just anemic.
I've been watching the 9ers

This team looks like a team that has been scouted. All these wins when teams didn't know how to defend them. Now
they just stop Aldridge and attack our weak defense.
pretty much
the only saving grace is we had the same situation last season and still went on a decent run to make the playoffs
totally agree
just takes some ball movement and you will get an open shot on us, Dont turn the ball over on us and get back in D, and then double Aldridge off of anyone other than Matthews and watch us try to jumpshoot our way to victory

In tight situations, I always had confidence in Andre

But would have never touched him without Kevin moving FORWARD
That’s my problem with the call. Kevin initiated contact.
The problem however Timmay!
Is that Batum jumped FORWARD at him. Once you do that and contact is made, even if initialed by the opponent, it s a foul
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
If he jumped straight up in the air no foul

But this is how the NBA does things. As such, it wasnt a bad call. I would like to see this rule changed however
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Again, I never once said it was bad call, to be clear.
I said I hate that call. Because the rule is wrong, like rip-through last year.
THAT'S MY PROBLEM
Both players should have the right to the space. If Nic is in the air, and will land safely, the offensive player should not be allowed to ram into him. Period.
I agree Timmay
The NBA’s rules are too skewed to the offense because they covet scoring
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
It is an awful call.
But so was the Wallace call.

Game
But this was not so for Brandon Roy who listened to teammate Nicolas Batum, "You're an All-Star, a 3-time All-Star. Take the ball. They can't stop you. You just have to believe in yourself."

that's pretty funny
Tell me again why we traded Miller?

Nic bailed him out, that's a call every time
He’s had a great game, but that is a bad mistake
Kevin Durant won me over when he went Rocky IV on Russia this summer.
SUCH **
I hate that stupid call… makes me absolutely hate the nba sometimes..even when we do it to others …bah

Heck yes, this was a terrible game... I can't believe the Blazers have played so terrible
the last few games! What has happened? Why do we have Crawford? He is killing this team, his chucking is ridiculous! Can we get someone else? Batum played such a good game and yet, he’ll be shadowed by JC…errr!
My opinion of this team has totallly changed since just a week ago
Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!
Man... I'm so frustrated, why am I even a fan...
the coach irritates me, the team lacks heart and allows mediocre team to school them. I guess I’ll just be a Heat fan!
Well designed inbound, Mike & Mike whining about the clock
Kevin Durant won me over when he went Rocky IV on Russia this summer.
We just pulled off the Miller to Batum alley oop
Too bad it wasnt FTW

We needed two possessions we were down four. two quick threes and there two ft’s to tie

We should have hired Rick Adelman this offseason

Lobbied for this for the last 2 years.
I’ve come to terms with PA’s affection for Nate. He’s not going anywhere.

If we don't get some shooters to make shots...
We’re done!
I’m tired of waiting for Crawford and Felton to start making shots.
#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
How about the French kid on fire tonight, who can't even get a play called for him the final 10
minutes of the basketball game?
Ya need more then one on the floor at a time...
That’s why when they shut Nic down in the 4thq and OT we didn’t have anyone else to hit anything. A defense can take ONE shooter away but it’s a lot harder when there is one on each side of the floor.
#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
Lamarcus is not an all star
He completely disappeared. I blame him and Nate for the worst late q4 and ot offense I’ve ever seen.

our team like panics and forgets who's hot or to give it to LA in the post at the end of games...
I don’t understand. And I really really miss Andre and his smarts.

It was actually Miller to Batum

I know.
I’m just saying I like those two former Blazers than our current ones.
