PrintHere is the open thread for the first half of tonight's game. Traffic is heavy and getting heavier. Remember if your thread is slowing down it does help somewhat to turn off viewing avatars. In the upper left sidebar click "Edit Settings" and look for the pull-down menu that says "Diplay member avatars / profile images". Switch the selection to "no" and then click "Update" at the bottom of the page. Also turning off the Live Update Comments will prevent 40 new comments from being loaded while you're reading which should improve load times for those with really slow computers. You'll have to refresh the page manually to see new comments then. Finally, please do not post pictures in these Gameday threads.
Enjoy talking about the game with your friends and neighbors! Back at the half to update the thread.

Hit one or two and this would be a different game. It’s the missing that’s the biggest problem.
Keep in mind
that it’s not unusual for Portland to get down by 10-12 against L.A. and then make a comeback in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. You won’t see this kind of play all game.
but it’s double digits.

Plus, he had Oden/LMA/Roy all take caffiene pills so they were extra jittery.

I see the strategy, laid down in the first 6 minutes to take the crowd out of it
Then chip chip chip the lead the rest of the game
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
it'll be his weakness to start the season
that’s for sure.
We haven't done anything yet... but don't blink.
The best we can hope in this half
Is to stay within striking distance, RELAX, and come out hard in the 2nd half.
This is, by no stretch of the imagination, insurmountable.
It's almost disconcerting that Rudy
looks like the most prepared player on the team.
And still Kobe passes right over his head on defense

I'm not too worried
I think I predicted the Blazers would start out the season around 5 win 10 losses in their first 15 games, and if we are even close to .500 by the all star break we will be lucky.
This is a young team that has a brutal start to the season, and lets remember the L*kers are the defending Western Conference champs, losing, in their house, to them on opening night is hardly the end of the world, just is a reality check on how far this Blazer team still has to go to contend.
We still want them to win :)
It looks like they are beginning to click it together.

Nate obviously didn't have "Faith"
There was a story in the Oregonian today telling all about how Nate had a big Speech with the team, before leaving for LA, about how he has faith in them. Then, he turns around and changes the lineup to take Batum out of the starting unit at the last minute. Not that I think Batum would have saved the first half of this game, but I don’t think it has helped at all. It has to hurt to switch the starting lineup at the last minute and I’d like to see if Batum might do a little better on defense.
Let’s get going Blazers!

i dont think batum has even played
that tells u something, wonder if he was way too nervous or something.,

Don't blame 88 for being nervous. Blame: Nate, Roy, Oden -- in that order.

Christ almighty
I was hoping that you’d jumped off the negativity train this year. There’s no need to blame anybody. It’s the league’s youngest team playing a nationally televised game on opening night against the defending conference champions. Quit with the doom and gloom already.

I took an exam like that. Calculus. Multiple choice answers. You think that multiple choice is easy? Try it with a calculus exam.

Aldridge was awful
Roy looked fine- his shot was just off.
I was actually encouraged by Greg. He made some nice moves, just didn’t have the compusure to finish— but he’s been active.
Rudy and Outlaw have been good.
Aldridge is the only guy I’m very disappointed in. Not only has he bricked his open shots, but he’s forced some bad looks and not worked hard for good shots.

I kinda agree...
but I’m not sure if Aldridge is having a bad game or he’s not as good as I was hoping he would be.
Ya think he was this bad last year?
This is just a bad start, we’ve all seen how good he can be— against these exact Lakers even.
That is my assessment
Though I think Roy looked more shaken/nervous than I have ever seen him.
And I guess, now that I think about it, I’ve seen every NBA game Roy has ever played.
The doom-talkers are goin’ overboard. This is nerves and tightness. It ain’t Nate, it ain’t the rotation, it ain’t nothin’ but THAT.
can he stop the drama already
"All our holes," says shooting guard Brandon Roy, a surprise All-Star last year in his second season, "are holes that Greg is going to plug."
absolutely
enough with the fairweather friends crying in their beer. that’s much uglier than losing in LA.
ignacio
this is not even close to how we looked in pre season
that is why this is so frustrating

i still dont think thats an excuse to be THIS off
i attribute more to nerves, than to the lakers. the lakers dont make us bobble half the passes and brick open shots.

sure thing
hence this is an observation of why I am frustrated, not the reasons behind why they look bad/.

45 wins
at best for blazers
"All our holes," says shooting guard Brandon Roy, a surprise All-Star last year in his second season, "are holes that Greg is going to plug."
Not even a game
The worst half in 2 years, and we’re doomed!
Cheeze n’ crackers people, I expected this after the first 15, but not the first half…
Of course they're reacting to a single game!
That’s the game we’re watching!
All these posts are reactions. That’s what we’re doing here.
There’s a few people making over-generalizations from this game, sure. A lot more are being sarcastic. But most of us are just making judgments from this game. And that’s encouraged!
By "45," I think you mean "81"

I would say more like 81.5 at best
They lost 1 half, 1 half does not a season make… step away from the ledge.
45 is a good estimate IMO
but if you were thinking 50 before, one bad half against the best team in the league shouldn’t make you give up.

Ugh
I’m already tired of everyone on espn et al. claiming the season is over. I live with a Laker fan, and I’m pretty sure he’s not enjoying this because I’m so unconcerned. I agree with Chuck: If LMA, Greg and BRoy shoot 2-18 every half, they’ll miss the playoffs.
Won’t happen.
New Low In Hair?
I don’t want to talk about the game. I just want to know, has anyone else noticed Phil sporting the comb-over mullet? What is up with that?
The season is devolving into comedy already. I refuse to panic, no matter how bad it looks right now.
Tom (not in Hawaii)
wow
2 quarters into the blazer season and everyone is ready to proclaim that the blazers arent going to win the playoffs
ITS BEEN 2 QUARTERS
jeez, you guys are ridiculou
chicka chicka yeah
I knew this team looked familiar!

I think Jamaal
would beat Oden in a footrace right about now.
we're fine guys
We played a horrible half against the best team in the league and we’re down 15.
Positive signs: Rudy is legit. Outlaw showed up. Greg looks active if not particularly composed. Roy’s made his trademark nice drives— the finish will come.
Aldridge will show up eventually (I hope).
Boomshakalaka
Ha ha
that was funny the first… 10,000 times someone commented on Greg’s facial features, congrats on the original material.
the blazers
DID end the half on a 7-0 run… maybe we can carry that momentum over to the 2nd half….
I've made eye contact with Chris Dudley....twice.

LMA put up the 2 for 8 that I was dreading from Travis...

Do you think we'll ever again see

i do...
he’s still not in top condition…

who knows?
I sure hope so.
Amare returned to man-child form eventually, perhaps Oden will also.
Boomshakalaka
Well,
maybe if we wait until after his first regular season game, we an make a better judgment. Relax. Wait until December, and then assess things. He’s fine.
Oden and Roy are
0 for 10 and we are only down 15? Against the L*kers in L*? We have work to do but we will come back.
The season is here.
Thank you for being
the voice of reason. I’m still a bit annoyed that Nate shuffled the lineup like that. Stupid thing to do from a flow and familiarity perspective.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
+1
It’s not the end of the world. People, if Roy and LMA made even two field goals each that they should have, it would be a seven point gap.
Don’t freak out.
That's it!
Oden saw the Bynum “making it rain” video and felt jealous. So he’s developed a limp to be cooler than Bynum.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life,(of the Blazers), (of KP's madness), of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." - Albert Einstein

the crybabies here are unreal
what are they, in 3rd grade?

Right now,
I’d be happy if Oden lifted his play to the level of “underwhelming.”
Greg's ankles are weaker than his knee. Who would have predicted that?
I know I know. Sshhh.

HEY!
Has anybody noticed the rim of the hoop on the lakers side (previously blazers side). We need to take advantage of our good rim. I’m hearing a loud clank on that rim for real. Springs are tight. Anybody else notice that? C’mon boys. We need to start clickin’.
was it me or did the push on oden look slightly dirty
im not a fan of the l*akers and their dirty play, remember odom on broy last year
Man this is the most depressing game I've ever seen. The Blazers don't even have a pulse anymore.
I am begging to god that Oden is okay.
back-to-back
Why does Doug Collins keep saying the ’zers are in a back-to-back?
From the official Blazers blog
We’ve just learned that Greg Oden injured his right foot and will not return to the game. X-ray’s are being done. Nothing about this night is going the way we had hoped.
by Engineering Problem on Oct 28, 2008 9:50 PM PDT reply actions
to be honest im kinda happy
that the guys played badly in their first game, perhaps this is a wake up call and they get it together over the next week or two…..
only issue is oden, we just got him back, hopefully he will be ok
Oden
UPDATE: More on Oden’s foot. It’s being called a mid-foot sprain. X-rays inconclusive. Oden will undergo an MRI tomorrow.
by Engineering Problem on Oct 28, 2008 10:01 PM PDT reply actions
Got my fingers crossed
that this isn’t a reincarnation of Sam Bowie.
good news
we have 81 more games to play, let’s write this off as a lesson…..
Mid-foot sprains
The middle part of the foot contains a group of bones that form the arch of the foot, which are connected by various ligaments.
"Unfortunately, there are cases where the ligaments are torn and there’s not necessarily a fracture identified on an X-ray, but the ligament tear can leave the mid-foot unstable, causing those small bones in the arch to shift," Dr. Malicky said.
If left untreated, those bones will shift, and the consequences can be drastic.
"There can be chronic instability in the arch of the foot, chronic pain, arthritis and permanent disability," Dr. Malicky said.
As with an ankle sprain, a mid-foot sprain can be treated with R.I.C.E. If, in a few days, the pain and swelling have not diminished, Dr. Malicky recommends consulting a doctor.
"There are ways of making the diagnosis of a mid-foot injury based on a physical exam, comparison X-rays between the injured and uninjured foot, or a CAT scan or MRI," Dr. Malicky said.
Mid-foot sprains can be treated either by casting the area, surgically realigning the bones or, if the injury was left untreated and permanent instability developed, by fusing the bones in order to restore stability.
Hmm…
