Game Thread: Knicks at Blazers- 2/8/09

Good evening, posters and toasters. Particularly all you toasters. I feel like I should give more love to the single-minded but underrated kitchen appliances that read P&T everyday. You guys are the greatest. Keep toasting.
While "Hell Week" at the Garden has ended, the difficulties will continue tonight in Portland. The Blazers may have lost two in a row, but they get shit done at home (18-5), and pose a number of positional problems for the tired Knicks. Not only does Portland have a bona fide assassin in Brandon Roy and two terrifying big men in Oden and Aldridge, but they've got a deep bench with plenty of firepower. Given that New York tends to use second unit time as catch-up, a punchy opposing bench is the Knick fan's worst nightmare. In the last meeting between these two, Wilson Chandler was able to temporarily stifle Brandon Roy, while the Knick big men treated Greg Oden like he had the plague and challenged him to score. This worked out alright...until Roy got silly in the fourth and the Portland second unit out-gunned a decimated 7-man Knick rotation.
With a little more manpower and confidence, and perhaps a collective shoulder-chip after three frustrating losses, perhaps the Knicks can steal one on the road this evening. Tipoff's at 6 tonight, so light some candles, heat up some leftovers, and join me for a P&T dinner celebration. I guarantee our table conversation is more interesting and laden with penis jokes than you're used to. Also make sure to check out the formidable, venerable Blazer's Edge. You can expect several of their buddies to stop by these parts, so make sure to be civil.
We deserve a W. Go Knicks.

Sometimes you just gotta barrel in with the cock right in the beginning...
You dont always have to warm up the oven.
so
we’re you could say we’re inserting the cock
into the starting lineup.
man, i’ll never get tired of these.
watching the Lakers Cavs game
I fully understand why a lot of people hate Derek Fisher. He’s such a whiny douce sometimes…
if frye were still on the team
the amount of saliva produced by both him and al harrington would be too much for me

fuck
i’ve got some crusty portlandonians on league pass.
gus is supposedly announcing for the big ten network but i haven’t seen him doing any games yet, so i’m really jonesin for a taste of gus. pause.
can't wait for him to comment on gallinari
"check out the COCK!
pause"

interesting
gallo’s replacing q, not harrington in the lineup. does that make him a shooting guard?
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
oh maybe
only caught the tail end of it. i guess we’ll see. that’d make more sense, since i’d expect wil to match up with brandon roy.

aw man
if wil had pulled the chair, he coulda drawn another oden travel
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
Keep this in mind though
when Bayless gets minutes, he has produced pretty well. Only problem is he’s competing with Roy, Blake, Rodriguez and Fernandez.
i know we match up badly against most teams
but the knicks look particularly bad guarding the blazers
and vice versa
for the moment.

well the blazers shot 88%.
and we’re not down double digits.

love that picture of Pippen, by the way
nothing was more awkward than watching him play on the JailBlazers.
Does anyone see that mascot at the bottome of the screen?
What the hell is that? It looks like a character from the movie Willow.
there was also a pacers mascot
i swear
Posting and Toasting: "Say yo Oak, what's the dish tonight? A couple steaks on the grill and we season it right."
mascot night
i figure that’s the only reason this game’s sold out.

jared jeffries thought process when presented with a completely open hoop, while standing directly under said hoop
1. hey, look. a hoop.
2. i should wait for a few seconds.
3. it would be really efficient if i simply rose up and placed this ball into the hoop.
4. instead, i’m going to sideways hurl the ball upwards with my nondominant arm while jumping at that defender about a foot from me, who wouldn’t have been here if i hadn’t waited.
you know what seeing Pippen in that Portland jersey
reminded me of?

he doesn't have much to work with
they just beat Iowa last week for their first Big Ten win, and it’ll probably be their only win. they lost to Lipscomb and Northeastern as well. but they have seven walk-ons on the team, four of which get regular minutes, and four true freshman starters.

yeah, considering how much support Sampson got, I'm not surprised
In a few years he’ll have a good team and the Hoosiers will be contenders again.
not sure if my league pass is fucking up
but the blazers feed appears to be showing the tv stations control room. i know they do this occasionally, but it’s like an extended shot. they’ve been showing it for like a minute and a half. there’s a computer witha picture of a baby, a computer showing the oregon state and oregon mascots boxing, and a bunch of people looking at tvs and walking around. it’s really weird. i’m freaking out over here.
i think it's their halftime show
actually they just cut away and now have just a listing of all the stats. i’m still a bit weirded out though
i have the blazers feed and it looks pretty normal to me
they just showed that weird willow looking mascot in a wrestling ring beating up a chicken
kinda looks like simple jack.

Is anyone watching the Blazers feed fascinated by the speed of the scoreboard
It almost looks like theyre scoring points before they go in

we don’t need your sass. cockmonger.

really
if there’s such thing as a pot calling the kettle black, it’s someone associated with Portland throwing stones at this organization. Isiah’s teams may have been a laughingstock, but they were hardly as embarrassing as the Jailblazers era.

and the fact that they kept hyping up Ruben Patterson as "The Kobe Stopper"
should give them no right to say ANYTHING about anyonel
Ruben hyped himself
no one else called him that

And of course, the Greatest Jail Blazer of All
the one who broke Ruben Patterson’s face in practice with a sucker punch, among other highlights, was one ZBo who you took off our hands.
Remarkable game. When Nate is as hot as he is, why isn’t the ball coming to him down the stretch? Is this a pattern? His mother was there – you’d have thought he would get a chance to ice the game

Bah. Some quick perspective:
This is a shitty and gutwrenching loss. Two quick points I am trying to tell myself to prevent my computer from finding a wall to get thrown into:
1) The Blazers are a good team, energetic, solid, strong all-around. We didn’t just lose like this to Wizards, Raptors, or Kings. They are 31-19 overall, and 19-5 at home in a nasty conference.
2) Even though the Knicks should have had this game, keep in mind that we were seven billion points down in the third quarter (I’m rounding up from 16-ish) before ripping off like a 20-1 run. I’d take a gutwrenching loss any day over being put away early in the second half.
And yes,
I’m aware that Isiah’s parting gift was was the double-edged sword of low standards, but I still stick with my previous post.
