Great win..NOw kill the blazers in 4th.. Yao.. has to figure out a way to be useful offensively when on court.
wow this series is gonna be a tough long series. i won't be surprised if it goes 6-7 games. portland has now learned how to basically negate yao offensively and every team in the L will try to do that now if they need to slow yao down. yao really needs to develop a midrange jumper and learn how to play in the high post to offset this. he was really a nonfactor down the stretch and that forced aaron brooks to go 1-on-1 way too much. defense was the reason we won. but man, blake is so damn stupid. 19s left and u take a 3 that fast?
Dude, you have been doing nothing but bringing negativity into this thread all night. I'm getting sick and ****ing tired of it, so why don't you either get with the program or get the **** out. kthxbye.
It looked like the game would be a comfortable win with 9 pt lead unitl Scola tried to force a pass to Battier and got intercepted by Roy -> And1 for Roy. What's Scola thinking? Roy already had position and was all over Battier before the pass. Then it's a show of "dumb and dumber" - Brooks vs Blake. LOL!
ugly ugly win. but still glad we pulled it off... umm lets see, fronting.. not solved... at least yao grabbed some boards. thank you battier for the three, that saved us. and scola did great too. o ya good job blake, nice air ball
Offensively, once again Yao was a disgrace; thanks God we have Scola, but RA need to understand how much important he is. Give him the ball and not to the freakin' chinese, Scola can be a scoring machine against Portland.
I dont mean to dampen everyone's spirit...but this game has given me the confidence in saying that Portland will win next game....Brandon roy had a bad game and they still had a chance and if i was them, just carry what u did tonight in the end, to the beginning of next game...Artest is playing like **** and ab is doing dumb ****...
I admit that i was bashing yao in this game, but dsespite his inefficiency on the offensive end, he did do a damn good job rebounding and swatting the ball. I'm just really concerned about how Yao will be able to score for the rest of the playoffs.... It seems as though it fronting has completely taken away Yao's offensive game.
Scola should be an all star. A great all around player; scoring, clutch, passing, defense, etc. IMO the MVP of this team. I know it's been mentioned but Lowry to the basket = instant foul. We should just run Lowry Scola pick and roll over and over and over, lol. Great win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously wonder every time you post why you're here at all. EEVERY single post you make is "we're still going to lose", "here;s comes the choke job" " we're leading now but we'll give up the lead"...you talk crap about every single player, coach, game, who exactly are you a fan of, Les alexander? Quit being so damn pessimistic or this team is just going to make you look like a fool this round
