Should be winnable. Don't think Blazers will play like crap two nights in a row.

Hmmm, Roy guarding Crash? Don't think I can support this. A few times last night he struggled to keep Posey in front of him, and Wallace is a liiittttle bit better than James Posey. I think it's time to go back to a traditional 1, 2, 3 lineup.

Hopefully we can pull it all together and get a win, might be tough since it's a back-to-back.

I tend to agree with you. But I'm betting Nate will stick with this group until there is an injury or they start losing.

I believe his game is on NBATV for those who have the channel and reside outside the Crapcast blackout area.

time to get some revenge next two games. (lost @ Charlotte last year, and lost to Atlanta @ ATL last year and also this year already at PDX)

lets keep the roll going 8-)

Hopefully, I should be able to attend the game tonight. (I'll where a MD Terps shirt or something, so I'll stand out amongst the usual NC fans).

As a team, Charlotte is just not playing well.

As long as someone is "on" tonight (usually is), the Blazers should win. The Blazers still need to work on consistency - too many players are up and down.

Nice picture choice trout, looks sick 8-)

Crash would be the perfect fit at SF for the Blazers. ah. why cant it happen.

*keeps hope alive*

This is a game that I'm a little worried about. We've been pretty bad against this Charlotte team in the past and its not as if we played great on offense last night. I'm probably just worrying a bit too much here, but we may not have as clear cut of an advantage as we do on paper.

Milkdud · Post #12 » by **Milkdud** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 9:32 pm

If the Blazers hit some outside shots they should be good. Bobcats offense has looked pretty anemic this season. With the switch of Chandler/Okafor and Larry Brown coaching I think the Bobcats are not going to look like the team that we've seen the last couple seasons.

How many points will Gerald Wallace go off for today? He usually looks like HOF against us, hitting threes, 30+ points, many steals, sick dunks..

I think though something strange will happen today, I don't think he'll have his usual game against us, maybe something about Roy on him will throw him off.. hopefully.

Indeed. Well done! By the way--who is the flat-footed white guy? I'm not recognizing him from that angle. It kind of looks like David Lee, but then again it doesn't.

I think its Marc Gasol

OK, I can see that. Hard to tell what the secondary colors are on the unis from there, and for some reason I was thinking "Knicks."

ucatchtrout · Post #17 » by **ucatchtrout** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 10:31 pm

Maybe we'll get to see a Pryzbilla-Chandler part duex.

Remember this one?

Ugh...sounds like Bayless twisted his ankle by tripping on something while walking off the court, and he had to be carried off the floor.

Village Idiot · Post #19 » by **Village Idiot** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 11:19 pm

These are two of the lowest scoring teams in the league. In the end I think our rebounding, inside scoring and depth should be enough to give us a narrow win.

Blazers 86 - Bobcats 79

**** you NBATV!!! all of sudden after 2 years of watching blazer games on that channel, they decide to black me out during blazer games. WTF. How the hell can i watch the game now if it's not even on leaguepass or nbatv, fml
