He flipped someone off so hard, his finger got a concussion.

I didn't hear him sprain it. Must have been bad to hear it. Oh, sorry. Misunderstood.

as in the 14 pt lead + 30 more
which is about 65 pts
WoooOoooOoOO000t!!!!
Geriatric swagger!

and be outscored singlehandedly
by a Babbitt dagger.

would be epic…

Tell me again why we traded Miller?
by RenoBlazerFan on Jan 27, 2012 8:17 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
He showed some life for a few games...
…but tonight he looks pretty rough. Looked better in the 2 assist 6 turnover game.
#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
saw that too...
Nash is better than CP3 just a bit… but at least putting Kidd in the top spot is right.

How do you turn the ball over 4 times with 1 assist in 10.5 minutes?
As a veteran starting PG?That’s worse than Armon
Right now, we'd be lucky to get a second round pick for the guy.
by ParticleAccelerator on Jan 27, 2012 8:21 PM PST up reply actions
Maybe he sat on his but during the lockout and inhaled cupcakes
Could it be that he rusted his skills so bad that he devolved?

Did you see the game where he got hurt?
Bargnani busted him good. Pretty solid knot on his head.

i didn't see, they weren't lucky enough to be on my top 5 for league pass.
I was just making fun, as their training staff is coveted by peeps on here :)

Ok fellas!..
…Let’s hope for a strong 3rd quarter and some extended “Rookie Time” in the 4th!!!
#7... GO BLAZERS!!!
Does anyone else wish
LMA would just step back 2 feet and hit the 3?
"Wesley Matthews bounces around the court with so much energy he's a couple of glow sticks and some bumping house music short of being a human rave"... -Canzano
those 20 footers kill me
its the lowest rewarded shot in the NBA- 2 feet back its worth 1 more point… 3 feet in and your % goes up dramatically
"Wesley Matthews bounces around the court with so much energy he's a couple of glow sticks and some bumping house music short of being a human rave"... -Canzano
Yeah, I don't love him shooting from that distance.
Around 15 feet is preferable, in my opinion. Still, he’s the only guy on the team hitting jump shots with any consistency, regardless of range.
he meant to miss it
so it would be second chance points plus a rebound instead… but hes been missing so much it went in.
by avalancheman on Jan 27, 2012 8:28 PM PST up reply actions
Andre needs to retire
and come coach our PG’s on working with Aldridge.
It really is amazing how Aldridge can score anywhere on the court.
Now if only he could get that 3 pt. shot down…
Gerald having daughters...what a funny image.

I really hate to admit it but Raymond Felton is on my fantasy team.
The kicker is that FG% and TO are a component. I’d drop him but he’s my only Blazer and I’m in second place. He’s safe for now, but if necessary he’s going to be cut, Come on Raymond, fight for me!
thats not true..
would you rather him have an afro?
When I was a kid, I wanted an afro.

WoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT!
Would have been a GREAT game to see in person.

I would kinda like to see Elliot or Babbitt get in, and I never say that early because I like starters to get their numbers.
This would be a fun game to see that though.
Camby's natural feel for snatching the rebounds is a thing of beauty.
How is he still doing it at his age? It’s amazing, and he doesn’t do that cheap trick of deliberately missing to get his own rebound.
That's what Uncle Cam said the other day. It's all about positioning.

i love wesley. I would let him impregnate my fiance

lock them down, double them up
and let the scrubs close
Wait a sec.. blue headband?
Wallace feeling superstitious?
I think he's used to PHX and Gentry running double teams at him all game long
so he holds so he doesn’t get caught. Hey it shows maturation if nothing.

OK, what is Nate trying to prove now?
35 points up. Starters still in. What a really crappy coach this guy is!

we spit on people
thats the way we roll….do our announcers smoke crack?
please no Felton shooting
it’s been a nice game so far. I shouldn’t have to watch that
Really?
you think sebastian is better / has more potential than Roy showed us? Hahaha.

Wonder if Nat waits till the Suns admidt defeat before pulling starters?
All people improve the gene pool; some by birth, some by their demise!
So does that mean...
Doc Rivers, Mike Brown, Vinny Del Negro, Lawrence Frank, Frank Vogel, Tom Thibideau… I can keep going…. don’t get it either? They need to work on sets, plays, defense, etc. Running them through the 3rd was well done by him IMO.

Nate is not a terrible coach for running starters right now
They don’t practice- if they want to work on some sets, now is a good time to work on it. Try out a couple of different looks- whatever you want to take a look at – what better time than against a live opponent that you have under control? As long as LMA and the guys don’t run over 30 I’m happy. We’re off till Monday- that’s an eternity this season

DESTROY
hold them under 60. Drop 105 on them
Good. Seeing how the first quarter went, I was kind of worried.
It’s almost a must win. Blazers don’t want these guys in their heads.
this game is going so well that EVEN BABBITT may get some run
just wait another 15 blazer points

To use the common reason people give for him playing.....
Elliott must have beat him in practice for the garbage minutes.
That was ugly.

2 questions, What is Williams Shooting% in his limited minutes this year?
And What happened to Shaun Livingston, is he still in the NBA?
.444 FG%. .200 3P%
And yes, Shaun is still playing with the Bucks.

don't mind Crawford getting more time at the 1
I can’t believe I’m sayin that but he looks worlds better than Felton tonight. If he can actually distribute instead of taking stupid shots that might give us an option.
elliot looks like he belongs at least.
not doing too much but trying to do something
He needs to be in for that to happen

I think he's healthy and that there even might have not been a setback.
I think they’re buying him time for his mental health to come around. Understandable, too, if you get injured every time you get on the court.

no
We only show up some nights. I like how some of my fellow blazer fans forget about the nights we simply DECIDE not to show up. that’s what it was.
scrubs doing alright
they have Jamal, Craig and Nico backing them up but doing ok

Is that the first time in NBA history.....
that a players records 20 rebounds and no points? Camby did tonight so I’m curious?
