Please be a little more PC, I wouldn't have said anything but this post was flagged by multiple users, in the future either don't make race based comments on players or at least use a term like cracker so I can be sure it actually deserves a warning or suspension and is not just a misguided attempt at humor.Thank you~Spin

Brandon Roy is the NEW Dwayne Wade....2 push offs on Ray Allen in the last 4 possesions...and NO calls of course...the last one ended with a 3 pointer at the buzzer.

this first half at least left me optimistic for the second.

well, that was an offensive foul on roy on that play, not called. Oh well, it's again all our fault as a team that want's to win shoots better then 50% from the free throw line.

It is funny, in the offseason I thought that no team would be able to stop our offense! Thank god the defense is better than I expected!

Minnesota has played Portland twice, so i've seen Blazer games, and Roy gets sooo many calls going his way, it's not even funny.

Defense is fun and all but wheres the offense?

I want to see more Pierce driving and Ray Ray Plays

Doc needs to end the Eddie House experiment with the starting lineup and start Tony Allen in the second half. Put TA on Roy and let Ray guard Blake/Jack.

..and pierce, allen, and kg never push off? they do it all the time. but they get those 'star' calls from the refs. kg always uses his elbow when posts up.

Hopefully Doc, Thibodeau and Ainge want to drill the defense in the first half of the season so that it becomes muscle memory and will work on the offense in the second half of the season to fine tune it for the playoffs.

The team seems tired or something and were fresh earlier in the year. The offense will come, hopefully.

This is exactly what's gone wrong lately...DEFENSE is all they've been stressing--figuring the offense would take care of itself...You simply cannot win on defense alone--especially when you have NO point guard to run your offense.....RESULT: closer games and losses to more athletic/hot teams...Wash,Port,Char.

LOL. Having KG, Pierce, Allen and House..Offense is the last thing I would expect to be the problem. :lol:

The funny thing is that most Blazers fans think Roy gets clobbered every play and never gets the call his way. In general, I think he gets his fair share both ways.

EXACTLY!!----so, our coaches have been stressing Defense all year long,and NOW our offense is struggling....especially with Rondo being hampered with injury lately.

MaxwellSmart · Post #97 » by **MaxwellSmart** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:01 am

Portland has us right where they want us...all they have to do is play 5-6 minutes of tough Defense in the 4th ,and we're toast....just like the last two games.

celticfan42487 · Post #98 » by **celticfan42487** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:03 am

this game is pretty boring.

Pierce is having to save us by driving and fould drawing like the last 10 years on offense.
