Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. L*kers Pre-Game Thread

Kitten_tiny by Dave on

Welcome to the first Gameday Open Thread of the season!  The concept is simple:  you get to talk about the game in any manner you wish before, during, and after.

An important point of order has been brought up which merits attention.  The purpose of these threads is to simulate conversations that you'd have with your buddies if you were sitting on your couch at game time.  Except in this case your couch is virtual and holds several thousand people.  Since it's a community conversation some off-topic banter is not only inevitable, but desirable.  After all you and your buddies talk about commercials and snacks as well as the game, right?  But the emphasis here should be on SOME off-topic is OK.  At their heart these threads are meant to talk about the game and that's where the topic should stay.  You can spin off on tangents here and there but please don't just put random conversations in to up the comment count.  This is especially true in the heat of the action.  If you're sitting on the couch during the crucial fourth quarter and strike up a loud conversation about Tiddly-Winks while paying no attention to the game your buddies are going to kick you to the curb.  Don't do that here.  The daily Junk Drawer fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation.

Since the traffic will be high today and even more so tonight we are splitting the Gameday Threads into multiple parts.  This thread is for all of the pre-game action.  A new one will be posted at 7:30 for at least the first quarter action if not the first half.  If you find your comment loading slowing down because of volume I suggest turning off the display of avatars and member images.  You can do this by clicking on "edit settings" in the top left sidebar, then pulling down the "Display member avatars / profile images?" menu and clicking "no", then clicking "update" at the bottom of the page.  You can always turn the avatars on again after the game.

Have fun discussing.  Also if you haven't heard about our monthly Jersey Contest where you can win a replica Blazer jersey by predicting correctly, click on this link here.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

Update:  As many of you have shared, Jason Quick is reporting that Coach McMillan has changed the starting lineup for tonight's game.  Travis Outlaw will now start at small forward.  Again, with a young, developing team you can expect the need for adjustments throughout the season.  It's somewhat indicative that we've had two starting lineups already and we haven't even tipped off Game 1 yet.

I thought he was referring to the 24 Blazers radio

If you were just looking to listen to blazers talk radio over the night… then it will work. For the game, no.

If the player comes up but there is no audio, it is probably a commercial break (they black them out over the internet) leave the feed open for a couple minutes.

I find it amusing how captivated he is by big city life. I do hope he gets a chance to catch one of those talking picture shows and maybe get a ride on a horseless carriage.

I saw that the Lakers have been

starting Vlad Radmanovich at the 3 so far all preseason. I think that will give Batum a little bit of a break while starting at the 3. It shouldn’t be too hard for him to stay in front of Vlad and keep him from getting a open 3’s. Everything considered, his play in this game isn’t much of a concern of mine.

Remember last year...

The young Blazers had to open on the road against the defending champion Spurs. They didn’t back down, they didn’t get scared, and they played well. This should give us hope and confidence in the team.

Laker fans

Don’t even realize there is a game today.

Judging from how many Blazer fans were at the Clippers game, I bet there will be more pure Blazer fans than REAL Laker fans there and it’ll be like a home game for our boys.

Personally

I’m more concerned with how my team plays, and not the opposition. It’s not about Kobe vs. Roy. It’s about how Kobe, Fish, Raddy, Pau, and Drew fit together. It’s about can we impose our will. It’s about setting the tone for the rest of a championship campaign.

Sincerely,

Self-centered LAL fan.

I thought you were talking about the Blazers

when you said: “It’s about can we impose our will. It’s about setting the tone for the rest of a championship campaign”

Seriously. Face it, yer on the wrong side! I bet the L*kers fit together like the pieces of three different crossword puzzles in a wind storm. … maybe that’s more hope than prediction.

I hate to say it

but that is a difference between us and a proven championship teams. Expectations. (I recognize that THIS team hasn’t done it, but the fans are vets of championships as is Kobe, Fisher and Phil.) We hope, they expect. We look at other teams, they look internally at themselves. We hope that we we can take advantage of a weakness, they look internally and note that they need to bring their A game and KNOW that will win it for them.

Actually, listening to some of the stories recently, I like that the blazer players are already starting to look internally. That’s a very good sign. It is an interesting difference though.

We haven't done anything yet... but don't blink.

Also

Some Laker fans are totally clueless about the Blazers still, but they’re clueless about their own team and are only pretending to follow them because they are good right now.

REAL Laker fans are worried about the Blazers and are scared of how Oden looked in pre-season. They also really enjoy the Blazers for right now, and will continue to enjoy us until we are a threat to them. We are the league’s darling, after all.

And it is not so much that they “enjoy” you. You “amuse” them, in the same way a dog, dressed up as a clown, amuses the audience at a circus.

If that were true

(Which it isn’t), that would be fine. If not this year, they’ll know soon enough.

Or rather, once they should know, they’ll stop caring.

I do hope we meet in the playoffs, because only one of the teams has a home court advantage. The other just has people at a game who could take it or leave it.

If you were only amused, you wouldn’t be here. The Laker fans I know are excited to see what we got, and hope that they don’t gotta really worry about us till next year (or two years from now).

Are circuses still around? Is a dog dressed up as anything funny to anyone? Are you saying our team is sad? I think a dog dressed up is sadness incarnate… at least dressed as a clown.

I'm just jokin' back at ya silly

You know, friendly back n’ forth between fans of rival teams. Not one back n’ forth and then getting upset.

If ya wanna know my serious thoughts: the Lakers should win. Bynum should win the matchup. Kobe should be Kobe. The Lakers are superior right now but it won’t last long.

Did I say anything that awful?

I would like you to live in fear of Oden, yes. Many Laker fans are clueless, yes. Many Portland fans are homers. Be sure to use your lack of an erection to get things done around the house.

There are REAL Laker fans, but most can’t go to the games. The Lakers don’t have a home court advantage— that ain’t a joke.

The Lakers don't enjoy the same advantages

as, say, the Utah Jazz, at home. The casual fan to fan ratio at most L.A. sporting events is probably higher that most other cities, because more transplants live in LA, because a large portion of seats are allocated to businesses and their clientele, and because tickets are expensive. That being said, there is an advantage, otherwise it’s difficult to explain how the Lakers have consistently posted better records at home than on the road, just like most other teams.

by ignign*kt on Oct 28, 2008 5:11 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Is it a home-court advantage, do you think

or is it just that others have lost their home court advantage when they come to LA?

A neutral court is easier than the opponent’s home court. You would have a better record at home even if it were effectively just a neutral court.

I suppose there’s an advantage in that you don’t have to make time zone adjustments, guys get to sleep at home and have normal home routine. That would be an advantage even if the fans were completely silent.

the former.

an LA crowd isn’t as homogenous as other crowds. some people there are emotionally attached fanatics, and some of them are rooting for the visiting ballclub. some people in the stands are there to take in a show. on rare occasions, a thrilling performance can transform a detached spectator into a fanatic. the crowd functions as a part of a kind of support system, and it seems to still help the lakers, just not to the degree of other crowds.

and like you said, there are social and logistical advantages to having a home base.

i guess it really depends on what sort of effect crowd participation has on a team, and how significant it is to their success.

by Sexual Tyrannosaurus on Oct 28, 2008 7:11 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

good point

Even as a Rose Garden Season ticket holding holder, I think that the home court impact has only a bit to do with fans. I think the advantages of routine and the disadvantage the other team has in traveling probably has at least as much to do with the home court advantage for any team. Not to mention whatever push the the home court actually does give to the refs on close calls.

There are definitely games where the energy of the crowd could make a difference – especially on a young role players – but of course nba teams overemphasize how much fan support means to their teams.

The flip side of this is that there is a significant base of Laker fans in EVERY NBA city...

Now THAT was really weird

I mean really weird.

A spammer put a comment in here, and I flagged it and put in a reply that it was spam. Mortimer responded to my reply, and I responded to him. All cool and normal and exactly the kind of stuff that friends talk about while waiting for the game to start (see, I actually read what Dave wrote, I’m that kind of guy).

But when I clicked Post, the weirdness started. My post posted at the bottom of the thread, instead of in a reply to Morty. But my comment was still there, right under Mort’s, with the post button kind of grayed out as if it was still trying to post it. So it is in one place it doesn’t belong, and another place it does belong not yet posted, but trying to post.

So I started to post a reply to my reply down at the bottom where it posted where it shouldn’t have, to explain where it should have been, and then thought, “Wait, what if it really does post up there after all? What if the site is freaking out? What if I end up looking stupid? What will my fans and future followers think? Will they come to realize I’m just an eight year old kid with delusions of grandeur? Will they discover I’m really KP’s daughter and he writes my stuff?” But the thing is, it allowed me to start to type a reply to the wrongly placed post down below even while still trying to post up above. And I just got nervous and all.

In a panic, I thought I would leave the thread, and come back and see where stuff appeared when I did that.

What happened? It was GONE!!! My brilliant comment that I had labored over for 15 seconds was gone. So was Murt’s. So was the prior comment. SO WAS THE SPAM!

And Dave had commented on the thread. Being a highly intelligent little kid (kids are good with techie things), I figured it out. Dave had deleted the spam while I was typing my reply. Zappo! But I could still see it all, and even after I hit post, I could see my post and even reply to it.

So, anyway, sometime my friends and I, while waiting around for the game, want to see if we can crash the Bedge. Strategy:
1. While Dave is around and paying attention, someone posts something that looks like spam. This is tricky, because Dave probably clicks through on the spam links to check it out make sure it really is spam.
2. About 20 of us start a conversation about the spam.
3. Everybody have replies started in that conversation.
4. SOMEBODY FLAG THE SPAM.
5. Dave will delete the spam after making sure he’s got the right web address for it.
6. EVERYBODY POSTS THEIR REPLY TO THE DELETED SPAM.
7. EVERYBODY STARTS REPLYING TO THEIR OWN REPLIES TO THE DELETED SPAM.

Wait, this is wrong. Let’s do it to Blog-a-Bull instead. Except, being Bulls fans, they probably WANT the spam.

How’m I doing, Dave? Is this the right kind of pre-game conversation? This is the kind of stuff my friends and I would talk about before the game, if I had any friends. I’ve never actually figured out why I don’t have any, though.

The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
