how is it possible that we only scored 4 points so far with only 4 and a half minutes left in the 4th?! oh my.

very bad 2nd half, but luckily the blazers are just as cold/bad

our lead was down to 12, but mike and kevin took care of that, and corliss is on the line

it's up to 10 pts in the QT :D
 
not to dampen anyone's hopes...(i too wish the Kings win this one...and they surely can), but were going back to back, nearly all our starters played about 40+ minutes last night, we're walking wounded. A young, tall, and athletic blazers team might give us trouble.

two of our losses to beatable teams have been our worst this season and they both came on back to backs where our defense was totally gone and a lay up drill happened.

Glad to see you were wrong.

;)
 
I did not see this game only followed VF's PBP and stats. I really liked this win because it seemed to me that it was the way we need to play. Ron really held back. Martin was involved in the offense from the start. Salmons, seemed effective. Corliss and the bench were effective. SAR got fouled out! Muss called Timeout at the appropriate time. These are good signs!
 

True that............however, just remember that early last year we lost 2 "gimme" games at home - November 13th against the horrific Knicks and Dec. 26th against the almost as bad 'blazers.

It is nice to get easy wins against bad teams again.

more like his back held him back.

Not really a fair comment, Padrino...IMHO.

Artest played within the offense. He was making conscious decisions to pass up long or contested shots, he was passing the ball, he was watching the court and he was not to blame for a couple of those shots he took, as he didn't get the ball until very little time remained on the shotclock and it was either shoot or get the 24-second violation.

oh...i think you misunderstand my meaning. i'm not inferring that the sole reason artest deferred to his teammates was his ailing back. but i would like to note that he only played 22 minutes tonight, only took 6 shots from the field, and only got to the free throw line once, all coming off the bench. his back is clearly a factor that slowed him down, but he came out and played anyway, staying in the context of the game plan. i say "bravo" to his heart and his head in this one, but i'd rather see a healthy artest playing within the context of the offense, if you know what i mean. :)
