Milwaukee at Portland Game Thread

is it on tv.

Telfair is 3-7 from the field and really active on defense so far - not bad. He made T.J. Ford look slooooow early on.

I know it's a little early in the game, but has Telfair really put together a string of these solid games since coming into the NBA? I'm not ready to say he's "arrived," but it's encouraging, anyway.

Z-bo dropped a pair of 3's ... I'll start griping as soon as he starts missing them regularly, but until then, go Zach!

Joel has been playing better tonight, even though he had three goaltending calls already.

Radio only.

Oh is zachs 3's accurancy by numbers or is he in a good hit attempt area?He might be able to develop the 3 to be like antwan jaimison.

35% before tonight (3-4 tonight).

Dam pretty good that could be a useful skill.

League Pass. Portland could easily be up in this game if they would just rebound and hit a few open shots. So far Bassy looks good, Zbo looks good, Joel looks active. Martell would have had an awesome half if he would have shot better, but still ended up with 8 points, he was hustling and mixing it up. I would really like to see them try Telfair and Martell in the back court. It seems to me with Telfairs penetration and kick to Martell jump shot were made for each other.

Good point about Telfair and Martell ... Martell did have his share of missed open looks in the first half, but looking at the box score on Yahoo, he was still 3/7, so he could be doing a whole lot worse.

Also, never mind about my 'turnovers' comment. 3 TOs in the first 5 minutes, 1 since then. Derp.

Slightly OT: The radio crew is advertising season tickets right now ... considering that Portland might not even BE here next year, isn't that a little, ah, odd?

Telfair really seems to be gaining some confidence here... he is really working hard on his on-ball defense... I'm impressed

It's official. Antonio Harvey is a douche. He said Bogut has a poopy face all the time and needs to change his attitude to stay in the NBA, and when someone was shooting a free throw he goes ugh ughghughuh. Sounded like voodoo.

Listening to Wheels, it sounds like Miles is just not even interested in playing tonight. Sad if true.

The young gunz are putting a run on. They are playing pretty well, missing some open shots as normal. :banana: :banana:

I would seriously love it right now if they put Telfair in at the point and let the young guys see if they could make it close.

Well I don't understand why Telfair never got in the game in the 4th.

Miles completely blows.

Another one in the "L" column :biggrin:

Telfair couldn't stop Ford, and wasn't hitting his shots in the 2nd half. I watched the game, and I can't say I blame Nate for benching him in this one.

Webster got hammered with about 30 seconds left when the game was still within reach...no call. Even the Bucks announcers were surprised at that no call and an earlier foul call on Joel.

What can you say? Randolph missed a couple of easy shots inside, and two free-throws. We threw away a pass in the last minute of the game. We couldn't hit the outside shots when we needed them. When Webster misses, he really misses. And Outlaw still looks like a rookie.

On to the next loss--er, game.

Surprised? Apparently they haven't seen many Blazer games this year - cannot buy a call. That no call on the Webster layup was a joke. You know the refs realized they missed it because they didn't T Nate when he was jumping up and down on the court.

There is one ref that in my household is referred to as "You know who" or "he who must not be named"...I want to know how in L.A. he is allowed to officiate Blazers games.

well you can guess that miles wont be a blazer next season

no way some of these players are on the roster next season
