Making S Curry give up the ball and letting H Barnes have an open 22 footer is good defense imo.

How fun would this team be with Love, Pekovic, P George and S Curry? We should have had that with Rubio coming off the bench. Thanks Kahn.

Man, going back and watching the second half, one play just stood out to me. With a little more than 3:00 to go in the 3rd, Turiaf gets stuffed trying to throw it down two-handed, GSW gets out in transition and Turiaf SPRINTS back to the paint in time to leap and block Iguodala's baby hook like 11 feet up in the air.

Having him back really does matter for this team, he's a useful player. RONNY.

Anyone know anything about JJB or KLove for tonight? Both got pretty beat up.

Man that was a beautiful read by KLove on the gw shot last night. Thompson doubles as KMart flares and KLove immediately reads it and finds him, no way Klay can block the shot after that. Outstanding.

Why is Love in for the last possession of the game though? Aren't we much better served by having DC in there?

Nice start to the second half tonight.

These Portland announcers are the worst ever. This quote is from the Wolves game thread on Canis. One of the Blazers fans posted it.

Quote:

I believe that most Blazers fans who watch games turn the volume down or turn the radio on instead just so they can listen to Brian Wheeler and Antonio Harvey. Another option is going to the Rose Garden so they don’t have to listen to Mike Rice. Of course that only works if the Blazers are in Portland. Lastly you know it’s bad when your hometown hero Bill Walton admits that the only way he can watch a Blazers game on television is to watch it without sound.

Walton has a blog and one of his topics is regarding Mike Rice and how Walton despises the “homer” announcers. As in a previous article I’ve written titled “Bill Walton Finally Making Sense, Scary Right?” You know your hometown announcer is horrible if Bill Walton starts making sense. Especially when it’s about a certain topic like awful announcing from the team he took the championship.

Living in Portland and having to listen to Rice commentating is like listening to nails being dragged down the chalkboard. He shows how truly biased he is especially when there’s a bad call that goes against the Blazers.

Love did a good job containing Curry on that last possession.

Also, Ricky, for as bad as this season has been for him, is looking to be the 12th player ever to have more steals than turnovers in a season (by my bbref-ing, players with >2.5 spg)

His post game quotes didn't sound optimistic considering the source. Achilles injuries are no joke.

He's not like anyone else. Historically bad at shooting and damn good at some other things.

Adelman said in the post game interview that it had been bugging him for several games. He did not sound very concerned. Hopefully that's a good sign. I havent heard any other news about it yet. Has anyone else? Links?

The only thing I saw said "sore achilles" which is a better sign than any other issue with an achilles I'm pretty sure.

So Love gonna play more 5 or what? Like Turiaf 30 min, Gorgui 10 min, Love 8 min?

I guess that would mean more minutes at the 4 for Dante, which is bad cuz he's been terrible lately. Let's get DWill back.

Ronnie better stay out of foul trouble.
