Season Opener: Clippers AT Blazers

[Neddy]

^man i thought Jamal was as bad as he could be shooting 25% with even worse for 3. would hate the idea of him being even worse... Mo had a good night scoring but he had no other peripheral stats, 2 offensive rebounds was it.

I thought overall we got lucky. they shot piss poorly from the 3, they turned over, and despite all that, it was a very close game for the 3 and a half quarters.

we have got to do better.

well, if last year means anything, then we're in for some real trouble with crawford.

he was miserable for months to start the season, and improved just enough to have an overall terrible season. and now he's older and now he's paid and now there's no cole aldrich to be our bench's defensive anchor. oh, and now he's seemingly our backup SF, which worked out oh so wonderfully when doc thought he was capable of guarding lebron and kd. so ya, we wanna do better but don't expect it.

I wanted to scream at Doc... CP3, JJ, Crawford and Baby Doc on the court at the same time? Why did we lose our 12 point lead? He tried to play small, maybe figured a 12 point lead was a good time to try that. No no damn it no! If you want to go small with Blake at C, bring in Wes as the athletic 4. Austin is in no way shape or form a 4. Portland should have won just because of that stupidity!

Tony Brothers and Lauren Holtkamp are reffing. WTH NBA?

I don't want to sound sexist but she couldn't keep up with the players. That call on Harkless (I believe) where he and Chris bumped into each other and Chris tripped him on the way down (couldn't have been on purpose, had to just be one of those things) If anything it should have been a call on us or a no call, but she was behind the play and couldn't see what happened.

Other things that bothered me. I am ready to go back a few years to where a T was called when the players complained. I've watched four games already this year and each one had me sick of seeing players complain that a call was (or wasn't) called on every play. Minnesota - Memphis was the worst, I stopped watching because of it. I thought the thing I hated most about the new version of the NBA was shooters flopping after taking a shot but it has to be the whining.

And Reggie Miller, you get paid to be an analyst... think you can learn the players names? It's Aminu, not amino! The guy's not an acid!

Starting in December I believe I will be going back to work and back on graveyard shift so I won't be able to watch as many games as I did last year. Based on premier week, that may not be so bad.
