Gameday Links

This is as good of a time as any to point out that the Gameday Thread will stay on top of the page on game days no matter what, so be sure and check under it a couple times as the day progresses to see updates.  Since this is Game 1 we'll leave this up here for a couple hours then move it below.

In case you're wondering how to pass the time until 7:30 (ooops...my bad...it's TNT...until 7:56 when the first game and its interviews and post-game analysis get done) here are a couple of links.

This is an NBA blogger roundtable for ESPN the Magazine online.  A couple of the questions are about the Blazers and Terry Porter (separate issues).

Also HoopsTV.com has a video segment on Steve Blake right on their opening page.  You need a flash player and you have to wait for it to load, so be patient.  Good stuff!

Steve Blake article...

Rocks! Steve is the perfect point guard for our team right now…He understands his role and will provide some veteran leadership on this young team. He says and does all the right things.

Blake

I think he will be an ideal long-term backup PG, starting by end of next year. However, I think Fernandez has saved Sergio’s career. So, maybe Sergio will stick as back-up. If Bayless can provde that he can play alongside Roy and guard the smaller PG’s, then he will eventually replace Blake. Otherwise, Blake will stay in the starting lineup, which is fine by me. He is an underrated defender.

When asked about his thoughts during the Olympic games about playing against Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Rudy responded "My first thought was respect. My second thought was to kick their ass".

Man I love him.

Game 1

With Outlaw moving into the starting lineup, that puts Sergio, Rudy, Nic, Frye up against Farmar, Vujacic, Walton and Odom. I think this is going to be the critical difference in the game. I like our chances….but, I’m sure most “experts” would pick this to be where the Lakers win the game. Frye will have to guard Odom I guess, which is an ideal matchup for Odom to exploit his quickness without being banged in the post on the other end. Still, I like Sergio and Rudy to make mince meat of Farmar and Vujacic (who is highly overrated).

Booo... see quote below

In the link above was a response that I agree with…

Booooo. Good bye ball movement. Hello off-balance, contested jump shots. If Outlaw doesn’t move the ball quickly and on target Nate better yank him.
I would like to see Outlaw turn into a nasty “enforcer” if he’s going to be with the starters. Get in peoples faces, set nasty picks (hell, even drop a shoulder or stick out an elbow), start some fights. Then he might be a player I could like – but enough of his ball-hogging, shot-jacking, no defense-playing game. It doesn’t fit with Roy/LMA/Oden.
He could score 20 points and I still think it’s bad for him to be playing with the starters because he reduces the touches of players that are MUCH better than he is. He had better not take more shots than Oden!
