Game Blog: Spurs @ Blazers - Feb. 01

[DesignatedT]

yep. there it is

[DPG21920]

Midget ball hurts the Spurs.

[BanditHiro]

jesus christ

[spurtech09]

spurs can't rebound

[TIMMYD!]

3 offensive rebounds in one possession


WTF WTF WTF

[Thomas82]

Good shot Neal!!

[CFH]

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggh

[Libri]

offensive rebounds are killing the Spurs

[Rummpd]

Get a rebounder in there - Blair with a career game in first half and going small and he is out!

[spurs1990]

The NBA will sell the league pass to watch the games on a computer - I had it all last year and it worked well (I believe you get 3-5 teams like last year to choose from) and you could watch 3 games at once at least last year at once with a big enough screen - I have a separate 32"" monitor that is nearly as good as a TV screen when I can "steal" it from my boy and his XBOX!.

Rummpd, are you allowed to access the game on any computer? In other words can I watch it from a school library which has a faster connection?

[timtonymanu]

Rebound!

[DPG21920]

Wow.

[BanditHiro]

wtf is wrong with the blazers don't they realize it is just a fucking regular season game

[TIMMYD!]

Pop's fault for going too small.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs settling for way way way too many jumpers. It's disgusting.

[CaptainLate]

Just trying to share the love.

Thanks :toast...and damn to hell the Commie-Nazi's and their anti-liberty police state and everyone who is a robot to them that wants to crush Internet freedom.

[spurtech09]

my dad is bad luck...lol his face is right on the tv screen

[DesignatedT]

:lmao still going to dice on the roll. i fucking told you that's garbage.

[HarlemHeat37]

Neal made a 3 there, but he leaked out for the fast break instead of paying attention, which left a wide open shooter(Matthews), and then he allowed Fernandez to get position for the box out and the rebound, which led to a Portland FG..stupid mistake..

Spurs' keep running the same fucking offense for McDyess, even though it hasn't been consistent..it doesn't make any sense..get Parker and Duncan back in..

[Thomas82]

Awwww........Here we go

[timtonymanu]

So much heart from this Blazer team. Sucks that they are hit with injuries all the time and BOO Spurs. Pop, why does Duncan need so much rest? Put him back in.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

get duncan in there.

[Blair420]

i fuckin hate when player act like the game is over when they hit a shot. fuck you fagdridge, fuck you jailblazers.

[Ditty]

travel matthews?

parker and duncan been out too long

[awktalk]

So what Blair has 4 fouls, there's only 7 fuggin minutes left. Get him in the GAME! He dominated the entire 1st half.

[Crookshanks]

Even the announcers are saying Pop has played small ball too long and that the Spurs are being hurt by not playing Timmy and Blair. Come on Pop!! Don't let this game get away.

[dbreiden83080]

Fuck we really need this win too because the Lakers are gonna beat us on Thursday..

[CFH]

Back down by 4 just like that

[m33p0]

wtf is wrong with the blazers don't they realize it is just a fucking regular season game

they're on a losing streak... 2 or something.

[spurtech09]

horrible game

[timtonymanu]

wtf is wrong with the blazers don't they realize it is just a fucking regular season game

No shit. They want to win.

[gilmor]

Spurs is atrocious without Duncan and Parker in the game

[ElNono]

Paging TD and TP...

[Rummpd]

Portland announcers laughing at Pop's decision to go so small and it is absolutely killing the Spurs. This game is about to slip away real fast unless Pop wakes up.

[Pauleta14]

This is going to end "live or die by the 3" and probably with a white flag from Pop...

[jestersmash]

I see why Portland fans are so adamant about Aldridge making the all star team. The guy is playing like a bonafide MVP candidate right now, let alone just "all-star caliber."

[DPG21920]

Portland is very much like Houston where they just scrap and fight and earn everything. Have to love how they play.

Also, Wes Math came out of no where in recent years. Dude is legit.

[gilmor]

2-3 consecutive offensive rebounds by the opposing tem

[Spurminator]

Blazers announcers just said they have 1 offensive rebound in the half... right after a possession where they grabbed 4 of them.

[spurtech09]

we need another 3pointer now

[ducks]

get duncan tp in give manu a minute break then lets do it

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sloppy execution. Dice having a rare off game - he's been fumbling it all night.

Can't really work out why, but the Blazers are a bad matchup for us. We don't seem to be able to find an advantage anywhere on the court at the offensive end.

[dbreiden83080]

Next 3 min likely decides this..

[007nites]

Get Timmy and TP in there Pop arghh

[Thomas82]

Get a rebounder in there - Blair with a career game in first half and going small and he is out!

You can blame that on foul trouble.

[dbreiden83080]

Fuck

[Supergirl]

WHY IS DUNCAN NOT BACK IN???? Is he hurt?

[Libri]

So much heart from this Blazer team. Sucks that they are hit with injuries all the time and BOO Spurs. Pop, why does Duncan need so much rest? Put him back in.

Some Blazer fans have said that they having being playing better without Roy. They're sharing the basketball. Before they would stand around to see what Roy would do.

[spurtech09]

my dad is killing me

[DPG21920]

LA is balling. Spurs have no answer for him, but we knew this going into the game.

[CFH]

Just leaving Aldridge wide open

[Capt Bringdown]

This is not a good matchup for the Spurs.

[spurtech09]

can't watch anymore

[DPG21920]

Parker didn't show up tonight. He is a big reason why the Spurs are struggling.

[Crookshanks]

Aldridge just can't miss. Spurs gotta play better defense on him.

[CFH]

Nothing but jumpshots...

[Supergirl]

Neal giveth, Neal taketh away. The life of a 3 pt specialist.

[Thomas82]

It's getting away from us....

[HarlemHeat37]

Send an extra man at Aldridge in the p&r, let somebody else beat you..

Parker has the match up vs. Aldridge 1 on 1, yet he shoots a fucking jump shot..

Spurs don't want this game, they're playing some mediocre basketball..

[TIMMYD!]

We're cold on both sides of the court. Not sure about this one...

[BanditHiro]

game over...basically a repeat of the new orleans game..

[timtonymanu]

Christ, our bigs are lifeless out there.

[Rummpd]

This is horrid if Spurs pull this out props to them.

[8FOR!3]

This game is mucho frustration.

[dbreiden83080]

we're Ice cold


Blazers fired up

This don't look good..

[ace3g]

with Neal struggling, would have been a good game to play Anderson

[timtonymanu]

Parker needs to get his head out of ass.

[spurtech09]

spurs d sucks and they can't get good shots...looks like this game is done

[mando6599]

What the heck? We have 2 days off and we play like this? Pathetic!!!!

[DesignatedT]

ahh fuck. take it to the fucking rim. stop shooting jumpers

[awktalk]

Gut check time. Next 2 minutes are crucial.

[DPG21920]

Gino needs to be in for the rest of the game. Right out of the timeout.

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

we got this

[dbreiden83080]

We're cold on both sides of the court. Not sure about this one...

It's gonna be 2 losses in a row too..

No way we beat LA on thu. they are gonna be out for blood

[Thomas82]

We need some stops...QUICK!!

[Supergirl]

Hard to imagine ANdre Miller's d on Parker could be that good to have him not only shooting 3-11 but also not being able to get the ball out to team mates for more than 4 assists.

[Rummpd]

Well LAL getting beat too and Boston in a struggle with the Kings - wierd night.

[ducks]

spurs are cold even manu

[Fireball]

Gino needs to be in for the rest of the game. Right out of the timeout.

I don't think Pop cares ...

[dbestpro]

Seems like the Spurs allowed the refs to get in their heads. Takes a lot of focus to play past this type of game.

[ElNono]

Just sleeping on the P&R. And the offensive execution has been atrocious.
Maybe it will work as a wake up call before the Lakeshow game...

[Capt Bringdown]

game over...basically a repeat of the new orleans game..

Yup, Spurs look completely flummoxed against a young, active D.

[lil_penny]

It actually feels like it's been going by fast. More annoying than boring for me.


Some Blazer fans have said that they having being playing better without Roy. They're sharing the basketball. Before they would stand around to see what Roy would do.

I had said this alot earlier.. The truth of the matter is since then ive noticed we have a hard time closing 4th qtrs and that was his specialty. Thats the big thing we miss from him..

[timtonymanu]

It's gonna be 2 losses in a row too..

No way we beat LA on thu. they are gonna be out for blood

I don't know. LA has been pretty bad lately. But if this is the Spurs that we're gonna see Thursday, they shouldnt bother showing up.

[DPG21920]

spurs are cold even manu

No, out of the big 3, TP was by far the worst.

[spurtech09]

ive seen spurs play better teams...whats the deal?

[dbreiden83080]

game over

fuck

[Thomas82]

Spurs look like they don't want this game...

[BanditHiro]

It's gonna be 2 losses in a row too..

No way we beat LA on thu. they are gonna be out for blood

do you honestly believe that the lakers are going to give any where near the amount of effort that the blazers are giving?

[CFH]

The hole just gets deeper

[Rummpd]

Spurs were outrebounding the Blazers by 10 at the half now getting killed on glass and everything.

[Supergirl]

Seems like the Spurs allowed the refs to get in their heads. Takes a lot of focus to play past this type of game.

seems like it...it was right after they got hit with like 4 or five fouls in a row this quarter or last that they got taken out of the game

[duncan228]

Duncan stops the bleeding for the moment.

[DesignatedT]

george getting schooled

[spurtech09]

told u malik is bad luck

[HarlemHeat37]

If the Spurs are going to let Aldridge kill them, keep going to Duncan against him..

[Supergirl]

Duncan in and stops the bleeding...gotta get some stops

[dbestpro]

It's the curse of Malik Rose. most of our losses have been when he is the announcer.

[DPG21920]

Tim has it going tonight. Go to him.

[DesignatedT]

fucking hill

[Danny.Zhu]

Wtf

[Supergirl]

naturally another foul call. Refs are all over the Spurs this game.

[dbreiden83080]

do you honestly believe that the lakers are going to give any where near the amount of effort that the blazers are giving?

And then some..

Everyone bashing them lately.. They are at home.. Trust me we are losing on Thursday

[DesignatedT]

do it manu

[Supergirl]

BS fouls ...

[TIMMYD!]

Portland getting every fucking call. Ugh.

[dbreiden83080]

Fuckin refs

[spurtech09]

yeah they haven't done nothing...refs are screwing the spurs

[Ditty]

omg these fucken refs

[Rummpd]

Bad loss coming!

[CFH]

Another foul? Oh come on...

[DPG21920]

How many times are the Spurs going to get beat on that?

[Refocus]

WHAT THE FUCK? Seriously swallow the whistle on some of these calls.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs left their game at home. Pathetic if they drop the first game of the RRT.

[DesignatedT]

Wow another late fucking call. All game

[Supergirl]

refs determined to stop the spurs even if the blazers cant

[Capt Bringdown]

It's on Pop tonight. Big blunder with small ball for too long.

[Thomas82]

Can we please play some defense without fouling!!??!!

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wtf??? refs WTF????? fucking homer refs

[dbestpro]

Wow, they just are not gonna let the Spurs play. A game like this proves nothing for either team.

[DPG21920]

Plenty of time. Spurs just have to play smart.

[Leetonidas]

Some terrible calls in the 4th quarter, but that's home-cooking for ya. Oh well, on to the Laker game, which actually matters.

[Cessation]

refs giving twice as many calls to the blazers lol

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

SAS:
FTA: 11
Fouls: 20

POR:
FTA: 23
Fouls: 14

LMAO :lol Awful refs. I guess we're getting worked out for the Lakers

[Fireball]

fuckin late calls

[ace3g]

would be nice if the Spurs had a tall PF/C with good mobility that could potentially stop those lobs to Aldridge....oh wait we do, his name is Splitter

[Supergirl]

what's the foul count in this fourth quarter? 10 to 0 Blazers-Spurs?

[timtonymanu]

Parker, this game was on you.

[Libri]

travel on TP

[dbreiden83080]

Nothing going right

[TIMMYD!]

This game's over. Too many mistakes all over the place with no offense.

[duncan228]

:bang

[Arc]

we're getting ref fucked tonight. this ain't lookin good

[CFH]

And then a turnover, ugggggggggggggggh...

[DPG21920]

TP just flat out awful. Get him out. He doesn't have it tonight. I would rather have a 3PT shooting threat out there.

[Capt Bringdown]

white flag soon. This just sucks.

[Pauleta14]

Blazer's announcer : "Pop is trying to bring Duncan to the ASG..."

looool

[spurtech09]

refs are burning the spurs big time

[timtonymanu]

LMAO Spurs gave Aldridge a career high. That's how low their D is.

[DPG21920]

:lol Career High for LA. I called it.

[DesignatedT]

Who the fuck is this old fucking portland commentator. stupid as fuck

[ShoogarBear]

Three minutes left . . . time for Pop to quit.

[HarlemHeat37]

Parker has said that Andre Miller is his toughest match up in the NBA, and it's evident tonight..

[CFH]

Terrible...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Another phantom call. And the Manu "charge" had Matthew draped all over Manu's left elbow. :rolleyes

[dbreiden83080]

jesus this is a blowout

[Rummpd]

It is seemingly over. Maybe Spurs needed this going into the LAL game.

[Supergirl]

Blair got hot refs hit him with fouls to force him down. Manu, Hill start to get hot, refs slam on their whistles against them. Seems like a pattern...

[m33p0]

too many booboos for spurs to get this one.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs have just lost it. Very uncharacteristic of them to lose their cool. This game has totally gotten away from the Spurs and Aldridge just got his season high. DAMN!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Horrible Spurs. Horrible. Very disappointing. The depth was overrated tonight.

[cheguevara]

no way spurs crawling back into this one.

Add one to the loss column.

[Danny.Zhu]

Props to the Blazers for the win...

Great efforts...

[DPG21920]

Ducks will not post again for a week.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Neal is turning into Roger Mason.

[ElNono]

White flag... Its here... And Spurs hand out another career night for the opposition...

[Thomas82]

I guess it's a rap for this one.

[Sec24Row7]

Not really angry about this one... refs haven't given us a whistle all night... happens sometimes,,,

These aren't playoff refs are they? They are really reacting to the crowd...

[LakerHater]

damn!
http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/smilies/facepalm.gif

[DesignatedT]

alright fuck it put in the bench. can't win them all. lets worry about LA now

[timtonymanu]

That being said, Spurs better beat LA Thursday. This effort tonight was pure shit.

[m33p0]

someone ought to point it out to him that coaches aren't allowed to vote for their own players.

[Rummpd]

Pop lost this game when he went small and pulled Blair who was eating the Blazers alive.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

SAS:
FTA: 11
Fouls: 20

POR:
FTA: 23
Fouls: 14

LMAO :lol Awful refs. I guess we're getting worked out for the Lakers

[Cessation]

lol refs got the eagle eye on the spurs, but ignoring the blazer fouls

[Spurologist]

Blazers announcer: "That's it....that's it"

:lmao

what fucks

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Game over. Blazers win ugly ball with ref help, but we didn't deserve to win either. Just awful basketball, really.

Pop gonna bring in the bench now? I bet he will. ;)

[Tp9gospursgo]

reds with four straight whistles. fml

[Fireball]

Sad ... a bad loss which was not a back to back.

[spurtech09]

say what you want but the refs are really burning the spurs

[dbestpro]

Probably the worse homer ref game I have seen this season. These games happen to every team. I guess its our turn.

[Pauleta14]

Parker, this game was on you.

:lol:lol


The whole game???

TP sucked bed today for sure, but as much as the whole team...

[Libri]

Surprisingly, nobody has started any meltdown threads.

[CFH]

Oh now the Spurs get a call

[mexicanjunior]

Spurs played like absolute shit tonight...deserved to lose. Too many missed FT's, stagnant possessions and blown layups...RRT will be 5-4 at best.

[HarlemHeat37]

Poor loss, poor effort from the Spurs..more importantly, poor coaching and poor strategy..

While the effort was obviously off, it also hurt that Pop went to small ball for an extended period of time, and the p&r strategy was poor all game..the Spurs' are at a disadvantage against Lamarcus Aldridge, the p&r game is arguably his strongest asset, they needed to overplay it, and let Portland's other players beat them..

Thankfully, losses like this don't mean anything in the long run..

Only thing left is to see if my UNDER hits..189 beats me, 15 more points, ugh..

[DesignatedT]

oh god dont hurt yourself manu. its just 1 game.

[DPG21920]

LMAO at another oop

[BanditHiro]

at least they didn't call a phantom call for and 1

[Bartleby]

Surprised Pop still has his starters in the game.

[Cessation]

lol now the refs are calling fouls on the blazers, once the game is decided, fucking losers

[Rummpd]

That is on Pop - Hill on Aldridge.

[m33p0]

white flag in

[DPG21920]

:lol Is Pop throwing the towel? He's done it before

:lol

[dbestpro]

There will be no come back. Even with good defesne we will not be allowed to play. Refs will try to throw some BS calls our way to make it look even.

[slugger22]

Did the ref just call a foul on the Blazers ???

[Capt Bringdown]

Outplayed & outcoached. Give the Blazers credit, they kicked the spurs asses tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Just in time for the Lakers, I guess.

[justinandimcool]

How the fuck do you lose Aldridge so many times on defense? I bang my head on the wall every time I see a small on him. Are you serious?

[ajGambino]

I usually don't get upset about losing..but the refs were insanely favoring the Blazers tonight. This is hard to watch.

[Supergirl]

Refs 1, Spurs 0. If these refs were the Blazers refs every night, they'd never lose. Oh well, it's only one game.

[Arc]

splitter should of got some burn today. 3 big rotation and then small ball can go suck a dick. i hate pop sometimes. i really do.

[CFH]

Not a good start to the RRT, hopefully the Spurs bounce back on Thursday

[DPG21920]

LA going for 40.

Genius.

[Pauleta14]

This this the lone "unclassy" thing about the spurs...

Pop quiting is a pain to watch!

[Libri]

Chris Quinn in, it's over.

[ChuckD]

Y'Know, DON'T call any fucking fouls now, assholes. Finsh your screw job. Don't let up now.

[spurtech09]

bs

[DesignatedT]

ehh im sure the guys and coaching staff learned a few things from tonight. Worry about LA now. The season isn't ruined

[DPG21920]

One of the worst performances all year. Really, really disappointed in their effort and execution, especially TP. Just flat out did not come to play. :td

[Rummpd]

What does that mean? Online video stream off of NBA.com?


The NBA will sell the league pass to watch the games on a computer - I had it all last year and it worked well (I believe you get 3-5 teams like last year to choose from) and you could watch 3 games at once at least last year at once with a big enough screen - I have a separate 32"" monitor that is nearly as good as a TV screen when I can "steal" it from my boy and his XBOX!.

[Crookshanks]

The refs really did a number on the Spurs - and the guys let it get to them in a big way. They just never found a rhythm. Game was close most of the way, until the refs gave the Spurs like 5 fouls in a row. Game over...

[DesignatedT]

this old fucking blazers commentator is fucking awful. hes terrible.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs lost to LaMarcus Aldridge. LMAO having depth.

[Capt Bringdown]

splitter should of got some burn today. 3 big rotation and then small ball can go suck a dick. i hate pop sometimes. i really do.

Exactly. Small ball & stubbornness, not a good combo.

[rasho8]

This game isn't even a blip. We all know the spurs have a problem with a big that can hit from the perimeter.

[Ditty]

I have never bitched about the refs even when the spurs lose but this was bad

[ducks]

I guess changing the game ball was bad !

[BanditHiro]

Anderson for 3!!!

[Libri]

Anderson with a 3. Can't wait to see him back 100%.

[spurtech09]

whats crazy is the blazers win but will have a 9 game losing streak after this game...bull shit

[Crookshanks]

Bad game, bad game, bad game. Pop screwed up big time tonight.

[ducks]

spurs thinking about la not portland?

[justinandimcool]

Seriously though. How the fuck does George Hill end up on guarding Aldridge. I saw Tony on him earlier. It's not like Timmy left him either.

[timtonymanu]

Pop: Good job Aldridge. I had no strategy against you.

[Creation88]

terrible shot selection and not getting one quality stop against Aldridge was the entire game. pathetic effort on both ends.

[DPG21920]

spurs thinking about la not portland?

Not Manu or Tim. Maybe TP.

[BanditHiro]

whats crazy is the blazers win but will have a 9 game losing streak after this game...bull shit

that is what i hate about these teams...they are gimmicky will never amount to shit but will frustrate you ever now and then (they happen to almost always beat the lakers)

[DesignatedT]

Spurs lost to LaMarcus Aldridge. LMAO having depth.

its 1 fuckin game bro. all of a sudden we don't have depth? :lol @ meltdown

[scottspurs]

Thursday will show a lot about the spurs especially after this loss.

[timtonymanu]

that is what i hate about these teams...they are gimmicky will never amount to shit but will frustrate you ever now and then (they happen to almost always beat the lakers)

so what? they're suppose to bend over because they are inferior. This is the NBA. Teams get hot. You can't do anything about it.

[Fireball]

Pop: Good job Aldridge. I had no strategy against you.

Yeah, but its never just one person beating the Spurs. So what elese went wrong? Too much small ball, bad calls by the refs which led to Blair sitting on the bench after tearing it up in the first half ...

[spurtech09]

you can whatever bout lamarcus but damn the refs really burnt through the burns...

[lil_penny]

good game spurs fans.


whats crazy is the blazers win but will have a 9 game losing streak after this game...bull shit

you mad?

:lmao

[DesignatedT]

I have never bitched about the refs even when the spurs lose but this was bad

We definitely didn't lose because of them but they were flat out horrendous tonight, you are right. I noticed this all game.

[TampaDude]

Wow...not a good start to the RRT.

Hopefully, we will bitchslap the Fakers again on Thursday night and all will be right with the world.

[justinandimcool]

I just hope Portland isn't a team we have to try and avoid in the playoffs. We got NOTHING in the paint in the second half because of their length. Dejuan disappeared after a great first quarter.

[DesignatedT]

Good game and effort by Portland tonight, they deserved to win. We just didn't have it tonight, this loss isn't on anyone but the whole team. Regroup and get ready for Thursday.

[timtonymanu]

I prefer Aldridge over Love at the all-star game. Unlike Love, Aldridge's team actually wins.

[fotan2]

wtf is wrong with the refs? unbelievable.

[slugger22]

that is what i hate about these teams...they are gimmicky will never amount to shit but will frustrate you ever now and then (they happen to almost always beat the lakers)

Doesnt hurt to get some bs calls your way too ! Not putting the total blame on the refs but they were bad tonight !

[Budkin]

What a disappointing loss... blown out by a team riddled with injuries. Fuck.

[DPG21920]

Good game and effort by Portland tonight, they deserved to win. We just didn't have it tonight, this loss isn't on anyone but the whole team. Regroup and get ready for Thursday.

I disagree. I think Blair, Tim and Manu played fine. TP's terrible play cost the team more than anyone.

He literally had no good moments and did not help in any one area.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

why did parker suck so much ass tonight


why was hill guarding lamarcus in the 4th Q

these are the things i do not know

[Ice009]

Well Spurs don't look good at all.

George Hill is terrible on the road. McDyess was absolutely awful tonight with his piss poor awareness. DB made too many mistakes and what the fuck was Pop thinking with that lineup in the 4th quarter. He played it 2-4 minutes too long and the Blazers blew us out.

Great game from Portland. Kicked the Spurs asses.

[Fireball]

lets cheer on the Rockets now ...

[reddog 99]

Best thing that could of happened with LA on the horizon. Maybe we can get amped up and deliver what we know the SPURS can this year.

40-8 going to LA i would take that any year any day.

[Fireball]

40-8 going to LA i would take that any year any day.

Agreed, but we'll complain anyway ... just not getting used to lose this season

[Ice009]

Anyone complaining about the officiating you may as well just give up cause we ain't going to win shit if the thought is that is why we lost the game.

Spurs need to play better and forget the officiating. POOR, POOR game.

[timtonymanu]

lets cheer on the Rockets now ...

Actually it's better if they lose. If LA loses again, they'll be even more pumped for the Spurs.

[Creation88]

Malik Rose curse lives on.

[maddnezz]

Fuck the switch on the pick and roll.............................. ZONE! Coach Nate knew POP would be too stuborn to change up the defensive stragedy and won the game! Stupid move on the switch on PnR. It never works for any team and it never will.

[DesignatedT]

Actually it's better if they lose. If LA loses again, they'll be even more pumped for the Spurs.

ehh we need them to lose every game possible. even if it means they will be trying harder on thursday. we have to secure that 1 seed in the west.

[DesignatedT]

Malik Rose curse lives on.

Does anyone know Maliks record vs Seans when they are doing games?

[DPG21920]

I told Xylus no favors and I meant it.

[Xylus]

I told Xylus no favors and I meant it.

You bastard.

[Budkin]

I could take a loss to an elite team right now, but not this shit. This reminds me of the loss to the Clippers earlier in the season.

[Fireball]

Actually it's better if they lose. If LA loses again, they'll be even more pumped for the Spurs.

How many games shall they lose until they are pumped? They should be pumped against Houston right now, but are not ...

[TampaDude]

Rockets-Lakers going to OT.

[Xylus]

I could take a loss to an elite team right now, but not this shit. This reminds me of the loss to the Clippers earlier in the season.

The Blazers can beat anyone on any given night. They aren't very consistent, but on their best nights, they compete with the NBA's best.
