Gameday Open Thread: Blazers at Timberwolves

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News

How's it going to go tonight?  Will we establish a new streak?  Will Sebastian Telfair light us up?  Will the Target Center roof cave in from ice pressure, only to be buoyed by the ocean of wailing tears sprung from the eyes of Minnesota fans this season?

Register your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts right here.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S. Update: Mike sends in this Bill Simmons article that starts with a lot of positive stuff about Boston (natch) but then goes on to praise the direction of the Blazers. Thanks Mike!

No predictions needed
We're a good team, forget ju-ju (it was fun while it lasted).

We'd better come to play.  Minnesota needs wins, and they don't really believe in us yet, they still think we are one of the teams they can get.

This is not an easy bounce-back win like some people seem to think.  We should win it, but we'd better play well.  If we play well, they can't hang with us, and we may even blow them out, but if we don't play well, we're in trouble.

A difference in young teams?
Pulled this from the Minn. Star Tribune :"Twenty minutes after the loss, the Wolves locker room was filled with New Year's wishes and laughter that was only interrupted when veteran Greg Buckner reminded his younger teammates that they just got their butts whipped."

I didn't read about our locker room after the Utah loss, but somehow I doubt that after 20 min. the loss had been forgotten.  

Note the link on that page to the previous discussion of Roy and Foye.

This is not a good time to be a Timberwolves fan.

Sounds familiar
That was the sort of story you'd hear out of the Blazers locker room in years past.  Glad to see that it has 'moved on down the line'.

The Herd
Did any one hear Nate McMillan on Colin Cowherd's show. He was on at 9:30. I didn't get to listen to it but was wondering if anyone could give a short recap.

Best we could hope for
If we had any team we wanted to play a game after ending our streak, I don't know that there is a team that we would choose over the T'wolves.  Its a good way to rebound.  

by homersolo on Jan 2, 2008 3:48 PM PST reply actions  

My thoughts exactly
I really hope the kids go and make a statement of sorts, that the streak was the coming out party for a decent young team and not just a confluence of luck and a lengthy homestand.

You couldn't ask for a better team to face than the Wolves after the end of the streak.  A loss would be kinda embarrassing, but still not the end of the world...

But we should win, and I'd expect our guys to be ready to kill whoever they played tonight.

Hell, every game our guys win is a new record for the number of wins a team this young has ever had.  We got a bright future no matter if we stay over .500 or not.

KILL THESE MINNY NINNIES.

Here we go, Blazers
I'm more excited for this game than I have been for a while.  Now we got something to prove, and they're not going down easy.  They're gonna pounce on us, and we have to prove we're harder, stronger, and quicker than anyone thinks.  Yeah, Blazers, Yeah!  Let's do it!

I, as a homer through and through, prefer it when I get the Blazer feed.  These guys better talk nice about every single Blazer from Roy to Seung-Jin or I am writing a letter.  A STERNLY WORDED LETTER.

Minny gonna be in our shoes a year from now
Sez Minny announcer fella.  I dunno if that's good for them or bad for us.  Unless they get a trade going, I think Minny is 3 years off... they need draft picks more than development of the current roster, like our Blazers needed a few years ago.

Minny could become good in a few years, as in decent for a young team, but I dunno if McHale is capable of drafting correctly.

by Mortimer on Jan 2, 2008 5:05 PM PST reply actions  

Yah
This should also be listed under "stupid things people/fans think".  Everyone thinks that just because one team does it in the league their team also can.  News flash:  you can't do it, Minnesota, because you don't have Brandon Roy, Lamarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, Nate McMillan, Kevin Pritchard, and the crew.  It isn't an accident that we're rising like this.  It isn't just something that happens when you get a few good players or high draft picks.  There are at least seven high picks every year and those teams don't do what we're doing.  I'm not bagging on Minny fans though because Blazer fans said things like this for years during the Jailblazer era.

by damir on Jan 2, 2008 5:06 PM PST reply actions  

The Garnett/Allen trade
Was all part of Ainge's master plan from day one.  He knew trading Roy away for nothing would one day open up Garnett being moved to the Celtics, and we were all just too foolish to see!

Plus, McHale owed Ainge ten bucks and Ainge kept hassling him for it and so instead of paying him back, McHale did Ainge a "solid" by trading KG for the Celtics' scraps.

But wouldn't you know it, Ainge still wants his ten bucks!  

by Mortimer on Jan 2, 2008 5:09 PM PST up reply actions  

I am on LP too Mortimer
but I like the opposing feed from time to time.  They give you good perspective on how other people see your team.

Also it lets you see how much local feeds view their own teams and gives you perspective on what all of your people might be saying about yours.  For instance the Minnesota guys are not going to come out and say, "Our team sucks like a vacuum cleaner" so you listen to what they DO say and then you know that translates into "Our team sucks like a vacuum cleaner".  Then you know when you hear it again around the league.

by Dave on Jan 2, 2008 5:07 PM PST reply actions  

On LP too
I'm also watching the Minnesota feed on LP, first time I will have watched a game with opposing announcers doing the telecast since we have turned it around.

I'm curious what they say about us.

by Replacement Level Poster on Jan 2, 2008 5:11 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, I agree
I really do like to hear what others say about us, I guess I am just in a homerish mood.  I can't remember how the Minny announcers are, but I ain't too worried.

But yeah, I like learning who the "Sergios" are for other teams.  Who do they love perhaps irrationally and most average fans don't know much about?

As long as it's not the Celtics feed, I'll live.

Anybody have an offshore internet feed to this game? I caught a link off here a long time ago.

There is a game delay
They've got a huge sliver of wood missing from the floor...maybe a foot and a half long and an inch wide.  It's like a big, broken off crack.

Nobody noticed this pre-game when they were assembling the floor?

by Dave on Jan 2, 2008 5:12 PM PST reply actions  

Someone else's job
This was Minny's last hope to win, inserting a portal into the 8th dimension on the middle of the court.  Roy takes one step near the vortex, gets sucked in and BOOM we're down 50 as we hit a wrinkle in time caused by the sudden disappearance of Roy's space-time matter.

It's science.

by Mortimer on Jan 2, 2008 5:15 PM PST up reply actions  

LOL
It looks like they basically put duct tape over the gap in the floor.

Classic.

THEY DID DUCT TAPE IT!

That is so funny.

Their sideline reporter said, "What's the problem?  These guys all grew up playing on the playground."

I know Minny fans like Foye...
But I don't trust SGs who are too small to play SG and so play PG instead, but aren't PGs.

I wonder if the Minny feed will lament the fact they coulda' had Roy... maybe they like Foye enough to not worry about it too much.

NEW YORK -- Isiah Thomas is still talking about winning championships - with many of the same players that currently comprise one of the worst teams in the NBA.
And the same coach.

"I know people will laugh even more at me, but I'm hell bent on getting this accomplished and making sure that we get it done," Thomas said Wednesday night before his New York Knicks played the Sacramento Kings. "And I'm not leaving until we get it done."

"I believe that one day we will win a championship here," Thomas said. "And I believe a couple of these guys will be a part of that. And I believe I'll be a part of that."

Travis
just does not have much strength in his hands when he grabs for a rebound.   Last game he lost possession of the ball several times and he did it again a few minutes ago losing that rebound out of bounds.

Get him some grips strengthening.

I think
If I was an announcer for a team as bad as the Twolves I would just rip on the team with sarcasm the whole game.

These guys are amazingly positive though. They should be suicide counselors.

It would've been nice to see...
...Sergio get a little more run in the first half, given the way he was playing. Nate is usually pretty good about riding hot hands, so I thought he might let him stay a bit longer. Guess not.
