i am loving the blazers this season but i don't think they are quite ready to be a powerhouse in the west for a couple yrs.

[z0sa]

LA gets stomped.

lakers by 20.

Comeon, they're playing a bunch of draft picks..

[Dex]

Where do the Blazers play again? :rolleyes

Who let you start threads?

[angelbelow]

man im glad i dont have to hear reggie miller commentate.

[ShoogarBear]

Nice touch around the basket there, tlong.

[mystargtr34]

Game Blog.

Did anyone see the block by Oden, and then the airball hehe

[pauls931]

Boy watch them blazers go!

[SAtown]

Very nice start by the Blazers. BTW, wtf is up with TNT not showing game clock/shot clock?

[angelbelow]

oden doesnt look good out there yet.

[ShoogarBear]

Machine need ball. Machine shoot ball.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

oden and bynum both suck.......... all talk and no game

[angelbelow]

LOL odoms high again.

[pauls931]

Looks like lamar scrotum is the blazer's only hope.

[mystargtr34]

Sasha should have shot that.

[Allanon]

Hahahah, that Lamar pass to the sideline's was classic. WTH, LO? :D

[monosylab1k]

The Blazers Hype is going to kick them in the ass this year. Last year they got alot of wins just cuz teams underestimated them. Now everybody looks at them as a future dynasty, and will look to kick the shit out of them every time they step on the court.

[Allanon]

Oden sounds like a good kid.

[Allanon]

Man, Rudy's pretty damn smooth.

[dirk4mvp]

Lamar Odom sucks

[IronMexican]

Am I the only one who noticed Oden's gay eye brows?

[mystargtr34]

Lakers have a lot of talent, you dont fully realise until you see all these combinations they can throw out.

Defense will still be a problem, but on offense, forget about it.

[xtremesteven33]

Rudy is gonna be great to watch.....

[ShoogarBear]

Am I the only one who noticed Oden's gay eye brows?

Yes, you are. What do you think that means?

[Allanon]

Rudy is gonna be great to watch.....

For sure. Damn I like his game.

[SAtown]

Yes, you are. What do you think that means?

:lol

[Spurtacus]

Blazers by 16.

:lol

[IronMexican]

Yes, you are. What do you think that means?

:lol

[turiaf for president]

chris mihm has more inside moves than oden.

[turiaf for president]

hahahaha tried that lob again. stolen then a dunk by pau. not here bitches

[IronMexican]

I didn't think we would be this deep. What did Oden say earlier this year? "I don't care if we don't make the playoffs. Just beat the Lakers"

[Trainwreck2100]

I really wish they would stop the NBA live crap

[ShoogarBear]

I'm shocked . . . SHOCKED! . . . that tlong hasn't posted in this thread since the game started.

[mystargtr34]

Blazers are playing nervous and tight, nothin coming off and nothin falling. They look like robots. Surely the pressure of a regular season opener isnt getting to them that much.

[turiaf for president]

Blazers by 16.



:stfu

[ShoogarBear]

Will Oden manage to get more rebounds than missed shots?

[ShoogarBear]

Machine!!

[Dex]

Wow, Blazers look like crap. What the deal tlong?

[Anti.Hero]

whoah!

Phil jackson looks funny with no facial hair

[dirk4mvp]

Rudy is badass. That's about it for the Blazers.

[turiaf for president]

im more impressed with the lakers D than offense. they are contesting every single shot. aldridge is getting owwned

[ShoogarBear]

Is Oden just the second coming of Dikembe Mutumbo?

[DPG21920]

Is Bynum hurt? Why isn't he playing?

[IronMexican]

Is Bynum hurt? Why isn't he playing?

I think LA is in a rhythm right now. Phil doesn't want to mess with it.

[turiaf for president]

Is Oden just the second coming of Dikembe Mutumbo?

at best.

[DPG21920]

I think LA is in a rhythm right now. Phil doesn't want to mess with it.

I bet that makes Bynum happy

[turiaf for president]

Is Bynum hurt? Why isn't he playing?

who knows but the lineup is going uptempo so im guessing pau suits that better than drew rite now.

[DPG21920]

as we speak

[JamStone]

Well shit if Trevor Ariza really has improved his jumper to the point he can hit open spot up three pointers at a solid clip, then that's some scary shit. We'll have to see if he can continue to do that during the course of the season.

[turiaf for president]

nice drop step by oden. ill give him that

[ShoogarBear]

I can't get used to Radmanovic with his head shaved.

[turiaf for president]

Well shit if Trevor Ariza really has improved his jumper to the point he can hit open spot up three pointers at a solid clip, then that's some scary shit. We'll have to see if he can continue to do that during the course of the season.

they said he drains them in practice. but we all know game time is a different beast. if he can shoot the three consistantly, lakers will be virtually unstoppable.

oden just looked like a clown down low lol

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

oh gosh, Oden is horrible and i blew $5000 on him, lucky its only vbookie lol

[ShoogarBear]

I'm going to hold my breath until Greg Oden scores.

[Spurtacus]

Fuck, the Lakers look good.

LOL, the Blazers suck.

[Trainwreck2100]

Kobe;s gonna tripple up

[mystargtr34]

Oden is limping why is he still in the game, he cant even get up the court.

[Trainwreck2100]

I'm going to hold my breath until Greg Oden scores.

it was nice knowing you

[Spur-Addict]

The baby Blazers look lost.

[DPG21920]

Lakers look very good. If they can continue to play with this kind of energy, I do not see how they will lose.

[IronMexican]

ESPN jacked off all over Portland in the off season. Looks like that was pre mature.

[ShoogarBear]

. . .

[DPG21920]

Bynum looks lost though. He might be too amped up.

[turiaf for president]

kobe with 8 boards and 5 assists. i think his scoring will drop alot but his assists will be a career high this season.

[tlongII]

Pretty ugly. Oh well. At least it looks like we'll improve throughout the season.

[turiaf for president]

Bynum looks lost though. He might be too amped up.

agreed. i think he wanted to do well against oden with all his hype. lets not forget he just turned 21 2 days ago too =D

[IronMexican]

Kudo's to Tlong for showing up after this :tu

[anakha]

Pretty ugly. Oh well. At least it looks like we'll improve throughout the season.

So who wins that bet you had going a while back?

[turiaf for president]

Pretty ugly. Oh well. At least it looks like we'll improve throughout the season.

uh theres only one way to go from here buddy. if the dont improve throughtout the season, they are drafting no 1 again

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Bynum sucks as well....... more hyped up nonsense.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Blazers comeback! :lol

[Spur-Addict]

Oh my, that oop would've....WoooooOoo

[Spurtacus]

Steve Blake is an idiot. Yeah, alley oop with one second left. Dumbass.

[turiaf for president]

Oh my, that oop would've....

cut the lead to 13 :lol

[ShoogarBear]

. . .

[Spur-Addict]

cut the lead to 13 :lol

You just aren't funny kid.

[IronMexican]

Shoogar, don't die on us.

[turiaf for president]

maybe not but its a fact.

[Allanon]

The Lakers are looking pretty damn good. I'm disappointed so far with Bynum's performance. Hope he picks it up in the 2nd.

Everybody else looks ready...Ariza and Farmar are gonna kill this year. Pau looks much improved as well.

Ernie, Kenny and Charles, I miss those guys.

[TheMadHatter]

This game will tighten up in the 2nd half.

[TheMadHatter]

Get off Bynum's back, it's the freaking 1st game of the season. All his mistakes right now are because his timing is off. He'll be fine in 10-15 games or so. I'm not worried at all.

[JamStone]

Steve Blake > Rudy Fernandez > Travis Outlaw > Joel Przybilla > Brandon Roy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Greg Oden

Damn good is right. Bynum is just probably all juiced up from the Oden matchup, they're both playing like shit, an easy dunk or bucket will get him going.

[ShoogarBear]

http://www.brainofshawn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/photo-51.jpg

[Allanon]

Hahahah.

Kenny: "The Lakers set the tone. And the tone is they're loaded."

Charles: "Twice"

Hahah.

[turiaf for president]

first off i do have to apologize for my posts tonight. yea its one game but i was sick and tired of thong hyping up the blazers and talking shit all summer. for the most part i kept quiet and i just got post happy to get it outta my system.

maybe the 2nd half will be tighter but i dont see it.

[Allanon]

Damn good is right. Bynum is just probably all juiced up from the Oden matchup, they're both playing like shit, an easy dunk or bucket will get him going.

That's nice of you to say man, despite our past disagreements. Kudos to you :toast

[IronMexican]

I just hope we don't end up like the Cowboys. Being crowned before it really even starts/

[dirk4mvp]

Everyone in the media wants to have sex with the entire Laker's team.

[DPG21920]

Every coach wants the Lakers team, they are bad ass

[IronMexican]

The Cowboys are just lucky they don't have to face the Raiders this year. cause the last time we played, Oakland won.

[turiaf for president]

^ agreed but i dont think the lakers see themselves as the favorites. the championship goes through the celtics, just like last year it with through the spurs. if the lakers d up like tonight, i love their chances to finish 1st overall in the nba

[dirk4mvp]

You have to admit, there is something sexy about our team...:lol


http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2008/basketball/nba/02/08/popovich.grizzlies/T1_0208_gasol_trotman.jpg

[DPG21920]

The Lakers offense was never a question. The amazing, swarming and energetic defense is what is cementing this team. If they can keep it up and get Bynum to match everyone else's energy, then they will be unstoppable.

[Spur-Addict]

That's nice of you to say man, despite our past disagreements. Kudos to you :toast

Thanks. The idea of having enemies over words just never sits right, even if it's just online. Disagreements are disagreements, it doesn't have to be cut throat. Plus, it seems from other posts that you are cool, so it's in the past.

[IronMexican]

I have to put up an Ariza poster above my bed now.

[TheMadHatter]

It took a demoralizing 40pt blowout in the Finals for Phil to finally get off his ass and teach defense.

[Allanon]

Thanks. The idea of having enemies over words just never sits right, even if it's just online. Disagreements are disagreements, it doesn't have to be cut throat. Plus, it seems from other posts that you are cool, so it's in the past.

It's all cool then. I apologize if I was a dick in those other threads :D

[nkdlunch]

Fernandez is carrying the blazers. Roy and Aldridge looked like scared puppies

[Spur-Addict]

It's all cool then. I apologize if I was a dick in those other threads :D

Same. :smokin

ShoogarBear is on to something.

[Anti.Hero]

Phil Jackson looks so different.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

blazers OWN when Oden is out :lol

[DPG21920]

Lakers have to keep up the energy, it has dipped.

[IronMexican]

Kobeeeeeeeeee!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I also hope Oden is ok. I'm sure Nate just wanted to switch it up since Oden was struggling

[DPG21920]

Bynum is killing me in fantasy tonight

[timvp]

What's up with Oden?

[Anti.Hero]

Man. Why can't the Spurs get a young athletic big like Aldridge :depressed

[Allanon]

Until we play the Spurs right...:lol

ST is the shit!

Exactly!

[Roxsfan]

I feel bad for Oden, he sucks.

Where is thong? Still talking shit? Blazers suck.

And the lakers? WTF is Kobe still doing out there?:rolleyes

[DPG21920]

Damn, Bynum

[Allanon]

http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/images/George_Bush_Holding_Breath.jpg

You're screwed. :lmao

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Oden still in the locker room?

[IronMexican]

Let it out, Shoogar!

[Allanon]

Oden still in the locker room?

So far yes.

[DPG21920]

Bynum shooting .167 from the field.

[IronMexican]

Bynum and Oden came out way too jacked up for tonight.

[timvp]

I've long been on the Oden bandwagon but I might have think about diving off. This guy makes Sam Bowie look like AC Green.

[IronMexican]

Greg Oden is lurking this thread. Get back out there!

[Greg Oden]

Don't worry guys. I'm just taking a break.

[Anti.Hero]

I'm glad I didn't jump on the Oden bandwagon.

I'd be pretty bummed right now.

[Greg Oden]

Greg Oden is lurking this thread. Get back out there!


If Bynum starts playing worth a damn I might.

[timvp]

Someone put an APB out for tlong.

[IronMexican]

If Bynum starts playing worth a damn I might.

Go suck a dick, TSA.

[Roxsfan]

Don't worry guys. I'm just taking a break.

dude, you suck. A 2 yr old can out run you, back you down and dunk in your face.

[Spurtacus]

lol Shoogar

would anybody care if you stopped posting here?

[Lakers_55]

It's a rout but it's only the first game. I am confident we can dominate many games this year. Some, we will probably play like crap. Gut check, time to see how much the deepest team in the NBA wants it.

[timvp]

I'm going to hold my breath until Greg Oden scores.

:lol

I had to scroll back to understand Shoog's shenanigans.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

The pundits were spot on, the Blazers look like they will challenge for the NW crown :lol

[DPG21920]

This will probably be good for Bynum to struggle in the spot light. Humble him.

[Roxsfan]

would anybody care if you stopped posting here?

do I give a shit, is the question.

NO, is the answer.

fuck nut.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Shoog might have to wait till next week. It wouldn't suprise me to see Oden sit out if he has injured himself again.

[tlongII]

Geez I hope Greg's xrays are negative... :depressed

[turiaf for president]

roy finally made a shot!

[TheMACHINE]

Everytime the Lakers win with bynum sucking , thats one less million off his contract.

[ShoogarBear]

Geez I hope Greg's xrays are negative... :depressed

http://img1.photographersdirect.com/img/17619/wm/pd746493.jpg

[IronMexican]

Bynum sucking can only help Buss right now. David Lee must be pissed.

[Anti.Hero]

Maybe Oden is one of these 7 footers who has some hormone defect to thank for his growth. That's why he is so fragile.

[Roxsfan]

Geez I hope Greg's xrays are negative... :depressed

even if xrays are negative for fractures, they're certainly positve for FAIL:toast

[turiaf for president]

No max for Bynum...lol. I know his agent is taking vodka shots now...:lol

+1. as long as the lakers keep winning i could care less if bynum averages 5 and 5 this year. just means the lakers can sign him for less money

[Spur-Addict]

+1. as long as the lakers keep winning i could care less if bynum averages 5 and 5 this year. just means the lakers can sign him for less money

Yeah, but there is always that asshole who will overpay. He tends to pop up at the worst possible time as well.

[IronMexican]

My hard on for this season is actually growing. I thought we had a chance to fall flat on our faces today.

[Bob Lanier]

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/electronic-publications/stay-free/images/24/plastics-bag-of-death.jpg

[Xylus]

Lakers look good, but the Blazers just look awful this game. There's no offensive flow, Brandon Roy is pretty useless, they aren't guarding the perimeter...

Question: Does Sasha ever pass?
Question: Why isn't Rudy Fernandez not touching the ball on every possession? What a badass.

[Lakers_55]

Anyone else agree that Kobe could have sat out this game and the domination would be the same? What Laker critics fail to notice is, when Shaq was here, it was him and Bryant that carried the team every game. Now, many players step up, we are deep enough to accomodate for anyone who is slacking. This will be a tight team this year. Announcers are saying Phil is gearing them for getting the NBA best record from the starting gate. 70 wins? I couldn't care less. Lakers NBA champ? Very possible.

[Spurtacus]

My hard on for this season is actually growing. I thought we had a chance to fall flat on our faces today.

I went limp watching the Lakers dominate. :depressed

The Machine? Pass? NO!

[Allanon]

Oh shit the Blazers play the Spurs tomorrow?

[DPG21920]

no

[IronMexican]

Looks like I'm gonna wni my bet. Bynum more than doubles Oden's points.

[DPG21920]

Looks like I'm gonna wni my bet. Bynum more than doubles Oden's points.

that is funny

[Allanon]

It's Suns vs Spurs tomorrow, my bad. I thought I heard Doug Collins say they're playing the Spurs tomorrow.

[DPG21920]

Timvp did you check your pm?

[turiaf for president]

Yeah, but there is always that asshole who will overpay. He tends to pop up at the worst possible time as well.

very true and someone will. i think the lakers cant negotiate anymore until this offseason where drew will be a restricted free agent. i think lakers will offer a 5 year deal at about 12 mil a year. only PLUS for the lakers is that there will be hardly any teams under the cap in the summer, and those that are will be waiting to lure lebron, wade, bosh, melo, ETC.

[JamStone]

We resting our starters in the fourth...LOL!!!

Actually, looks like regular rotations so far.

Won't know if they're resting the starters until around the 6-7 minute mark.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

dang it. Ive got Duncan vs Oden on tv here and was all pumped for it, but now it looks like Oden will be on his couch trying not to get up the wrong way :depressed

[turiaf for president]

think bynum heard us talking shiet about his contract. hes made 2 baskets in a row lol

[Doug Collins]

It's Suns vs Spurs tomorrow, my bad. I thought I heard Doug Collins say they're playing the Spurs tomorrow.

My bad.

[dirk4mvp]

My bad.


RonMexico makes his presence felt.

[dirk4mvp]

Rudy is money.

[angelbelow]

rudy!

[angelbelow]

what happened to oden?

[turiaf for president]

rudy looks really good. bayless looks solid as well

[Greg Oden]

what happened to oden?


decided to stay in the locker room and post on my laptop.

[Spurtacus]

Nice move by Bynum.

[DPG21920]

terrible post move by Bynum, followed by a money one. Rudy is tight

[Allanon]

rudy!

Rudy looks great, serious baller.

Oden hurt his foot, looks like maybe when he fell to the ground when Bynum fouled him. Not 100% sure. He's having x-rays now.

[Spurtacus]

what happened to oden?

He tripped on his shoelace and broke both of his ankles. You now have to refer to him as Mr. Glass.

http://www.the-reel-mccoy.com/movies/2000/images/unbreakable3.jpg


He will be replacing the great Samuel L. Jackson in the sequel to Unbreakable.

[turiaf for president]

i thought outlaw was known for his D?

[timvp]

Timvp did you check your pm?


http://spurstalk.com/timvppm.jpg

That should answer your question . . .

[angelbelow]

decided to stay in the locker room and post on my laptop.

no passion for the game?

[angelbelow]

i thought outlaw was known for his D?

on regular players, not on kobe.

[turiaf for president]

on regular players, not on kobe.
:lol

[Allanon]

Doug Collins just said it again "When they play the Spurs tomorrow at home".

Damn you Doug.

[Many PackYao]

Rudy is awesome, but he needs to get rid of that Luke Walton haircut fast!:lol:p:

[IronMexican]

Doug Collins needs to stop posting here, and broadcasting at the same time.

[duncan228]

Shoogar?

We Want Tacos!!!

They aren't even close to 100.

[DPG21920]

He said it again.

[Allanon]

Great opening game for the Lakers.

Quite impressive for pretty much everybody except my boy Bynum but he'll bounce back.

Good luck to the Spurs tomorrow against the Suns and FRIDAY vs the Blaze.

[angelbelow]

cant wait until the spurs game tomorrow. wished i could have went to the laker game tonight.. damn quiz!
