blazers fan forum mad at houston media

sweet! more Blazers board info!

WTF? is this a Rockets board or Blazers board?

 

I enjoyed the first few game pieces from that writer. Very well thought out and informative. Now it seems that instead of coming up with adjustments, strategies to outmaster the Rockets, the columnist is intend on saying that if they lose its because of whistles......

 

The sad thing is, that if the referees actually called it by the books, Oden/Pryz would foul out every game, with the rule being that your not allowed to have two hands on the back of the offensive player. It happens every possession down the court, but the ref's pick and choose when to call it.

The reason that Blazers fans complain about these calls, is because they don't have a big man to feed the ball too, and have the opportunity to get these types of fouls called on the other team.

 

You didn't have to open up the thread and read it. I never understood that complaint. If you don't like it, don't read it. And if others agree with you then the thread will die.

 

I for one, have very much enjoyed looking into the other side's perspective. I more or less know what everyone thinks on this board, but not so much to the fans of opposing teams.

 

Best part:

 

i must be biased because i just dont see these touch fouls, i feel like i am taking crazy pills when i read this stuff.

"I can’t believe how much the playoffs have made me hate the Rockets. And I mean absolutely DESPISE them. I didn’t mind them so much before and now they are one of my least favorite teams. Right up there with the L*kers, Celtics, Jazz, and Nuggets."

Weird.

 

Portland think Yao should foul at the same rate as Oden and Prz. LOL Why not just let Roy and Yao all foul out and let's see who still wins?

Of course we shoot more free throws than a jump shooting team. Add to the fact that Blazers have to foul 2-3 times at the end of every game.

Excuses, excuses. I really hope we do what Denver did to NO last night. End of discussion.

 

then start a blazer's fan appreciation thread.

 

It all comes down to the fact that we have an offensive minded big man, and they don't. We post up with our big men, they don't, so of course were going to get more of those calls.

 

Half of the comments for the blog post are actually compliments about Shane.

 

Can someone point me to the rule about not allowing 2 hands on a post player?

 

Thanks for the info, I love the answers all these guys gave. Yao with the politically correct answer, Battier with the funny answer and Artest with the honest and straightforward answer.

On the one hand the guys being loose is good, it could mean they come out with totall confidence and kill the Blazers. Then again, it could also mean they're overconfident and get killed. We'll have to wait and see but at least they have the chemistry...

Update by Jason Friedman on game 5

 

Exactly

I had to signup to their forums just to respond to this lol.

 

[Adelman]"That’s what it has to be. I don’t know what else to do. It was a one possession game (in Game 4). I mean, (Yao's) a little bit older than Roy and Aldridge, but they’re playing. I just try to judge that as we go. And that game, at the start of the fourth quarter, I would have sat him, but we were down six and the tide was really going the other way so I just decided to let it ride and see how the game went."

Yao said simply: "I’m available."

LOL Gotta love Yao.

 

In the frontcourt, there is no contact with hands and forearms by defenders except below the free throw line extended in which case the defender may only use his forearm
