Ronny Turiaf with 6 & 7 at the half. 6 points, 7 ASSISTS If Turiaf is breaking out his point forward game, yeah there might be a lack of defense
I watched some of the 1st half. It will slow down in the 2nd half. The Cavs/Blazers is more interesting. LeBron's jumper is unconscious, Roy's shot is off, the Blazers are bricking FTs but the Cavs are only leading 70-64 at the moment. Nothing is going right for Portland. Even if they lose, they are putting on a good show.
If LeBron ever develops a consistent mid-range game, he will be the most unstoppable perimeter force this league has ever seen. If he becomes a good 3pt shooter (upper 30s percentage-wise), forget about it. His numbers under the basket are insane.
His shooting % won't show it but LeBron was sick tonight. He hit more fade-aways then I've ever seen since Game 5 in Detroit in 2007. Mo Williams turned Sergio Rodriguez into salmon sushi because Bayless got into foul trouble very early. In the 4th quarter, Mo Williams was the master assassin when the Blazers cracked down on LeBron. Roy and Aldridge were both way off (14/41 together). Oden showed his stuff when he played but foul trouble killed him again. Outlaw was off his game. Blake is injured and the Blazers clearly miss him because Sergio just isn't good enough. Yet they lost a close game to the Cavs tonight. I don't think the Blazers are contenders but I could see them winning a 1st round series if Brandon Roy is healthy. In fact, I look for them to go on a tear when Roy gets his rhythm back because the other players grew up during his time off and don't depend on him to be Mr. Everything anymore.
I watched parts of the game including the last 8 minutes or so. LeBron shot was on fire but he's still not a good shooter. Just about anybody in this league will have good shooting nights... even Rafer.
Way to piss on me. I was packing for my birthday trip to san juan and was watching, but didn't see that. Morey strikes again. Trading to get Dorsey a 6'7 project when he couldve taken a 7 ft project in jordan. Then I've been screaming Sims as a backup to yao, but is signed by Phoenix.
there was no damn defense in the LAL/LAC game. every damn pick and roll had ZERO rotation and left the pick man by himself in the lane for a dunk. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Combine that with the Clips missing all their bigs.. and yeah, that'll happen Bynum really didn't play THAT well. I mean he set picks and got open for dunks. He caught passes and dunked them. Made a few 5 footers.
I feel bad for the Thunder. It seems like they always fall short in 1 possession games. It's actually funny and sad. One chance left for them right here.
JEFF GREEN!!! That was awesome! My favorite shot in the whole world: A buzzer beater to win on the road.
