Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

No Update On Greg

Just got back from the Practice Facility.  There was no update on Greg as of 2PM.  More information is expected after 5PM tonight, according to a team employee.

------------------------------

Update: According to 95.5, an announcement will be coming at 3:30 PM.

Update 2: Obviously 95.5 was fronting, there's not been an announcement yet.  We'll let you know once there is.

------------------------------

Obviously, Greg was not at practice.  I was a little bit late-arriving but I also did not see KP or Tom Penn at practice today.

As for Coach Nate and the players, the attitude seemed to be business as usual, as much as that was possible. The mood was actually not as somber as I was expecting.  The players were very serious but didn't seem "down." There wasn't any joking but that is to be expected the day after a disappointing loss to a major conference rival.

Brandon noted that "I haven't beaten [the Spurs] since I was a pro."  He was focused on looking towards that game and was very clear, repeatedly, that he was not "looking for any excuses" about last night's performance. When asked if he thought Batum should have started or if Outlaw starting threw him off his game, Brandon said "Nicolas or not, I didn't do anything to help the team."  Brandon also said he hadn't spent a ton of time thinking about Greg. "We were so disappointed after the game," and "it really hasn't sunk in that Greg wasn't there."

Remember a few weeks back when Greg said that he was tired of answering questions about his health?  I got the impression that Brandon is also tired of answering questions about Greg's health. I don't mean that in a negative way.  Just matter-of-factly.  Greg's health is clearly something that Brandon cannot control. 

Brandon concluded by saying, "I'm ready to go with or without [Greg]."

Channing was the only other player to talk extensively to the media. He stated that the team "has worked too hard" to let one bad game get them down.  He pointed out that they had a hard practice today and pointed over to where Jerryd Bayless was riding a treadmill, emphasizing that they were still working to improve even after the difficult practice.  Channing also seemed resigned to the fact that the team needs to be ready to play with or without Greg.

Wish I had more information for you.  My suggestion is to continually reload Blazers.com tonight for news regarding Greg...

Is that the same lineup sans Oden? Or should we hope for a miracle?

by douglast on Oct 29, 2008 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

Trout should not start.

What, exactly, does Trout bring to the table for the first unit over Rudy or even Batum?

Sure, the line up looks a little small with Rudy/Roy at the wings… but does that make them a worse defensive team? Does it make them a worse rebounding team? Bottom line, Rudy is a better rebounder and defender than Trout – and he’s approximately 10,000 times better at moving the ball and spacing the offense and generally not being dumb.

I would rather give Batum a shot than Trout. It baffles me that Nate would let Batum practice with the first unit for a week and a half and then throw Trout out there with no experience being incorporated into the offense with that unit. I find it baffling. I’m baffled. He looked about as comfortable out there as I would.

That’s not to say Trout didn’t play well at times – he did what he does. He hit jump shots. He needs to do that off the bench and quit screwing up everyone else’s rhythm/mojo/whatever.

First option starting, Rudy. Second option, Batum. Third option, Webster in a protective boot. But Nate, for the love of god, don’t put Trout in that position again. The effect on the other starters is palpable.

The 4th Quarter Unit

The only guy who started the game that doesn’t finish it is Blake.

Outlaw/Roy/LMA have a lot of experience playing together. Those three played together more than anyone else has. I really don’t think Outlaw fits the starting lineup, but I don’t think it is such a drastic change that the players aren’t used to.

Our 4th quarter lineup this year is Oden/LMA/Outlaw/Roy/Rudy. Blake is the only difference between that lineup and the starting lineup, so I don’t think changing the SF spot is such a tactical error that makes the whole ship sink.

I agree that Batum or Rudy should be starting though. Just don’t think it is a real big deal as far as last night went.

Mortimer

by Mortimer on Oct 29, 2008 2:41 PM PDT up reply actions  

Good point about the 4th quarter. I'll blame the omission on emotional trauma.

Those three guys have played together a ton. Not sure what was so different. They just seemed tremendously out of sync.

Not that you can place all the blame or even most of the blame for that on Trout (LMA, I’m looking at you), but I found myself thinking he was like the awkward guy in a pickup game who is somehow ALWAYS exactly where you’re trying to drive. His spacing and movement just seemed way way off, especially early in the game.

Also, is it just me, or could LaMarcus/Pryz/my little sister do a better job D-ing up Kobe than Trout was doing? He’s not even in a basic defensive stance half the time. Can’t someone at least teach him the old slide-slide-pivot thing? Can’t he put his feet wider than shoulder-width apart?

He does some things you would laugh at a fifth grade rec leaguer for. But when you’re in the NBA… not so funny.

I feel like Nate should strap him into the contraption out of Clockwork Orange that holds his eyes open, and force him to watch the Better Basketball video series over and over and over.

Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.

It's a tough thing

I’m not really an Outlaw fan (at least, not a fan of his game) but I really like him and he has an amazing athletic body to work with.

Even in the 4th quarter unit, I’d prefer someone like Martell step up and take over, or that we show we have enough offense to not need Travis’s one on one play.

Or, for Travis to suddenly learn to do what he doesn’t do.

Outlaw is a frustrating player, that’s for sure. Especially for a 6th year dude.

I guess I just don’t think the Batum/Outlaw switcharoo made that much of a difference with how rattled and weak LMA and Roy looked.

by Mortimer on Oct 29, 2008 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

Rudy is not a better defender

then Travis, that is just plain wrong, he might look better because he goes for steals, but he is not a better defender, and we saw that highlighted last night.

I think the reason why they went with Trout was because they thought that since Batum’s offense isn’t up to speed yet, and his defense was not needed (He would have been guarding Vlad) that they should go with an offensive player, and they did.

Travis played in the offense for the first quarter, and the team scored almost 0 points. This game was one where we needed to take advantage of 1 on 1 match-ups (because our offense was being shut down by their defense) and that is exactly what Travis did. He was guilty of throwing some lazy passes but he was not the problem last night, and Batum would not have been the solution.

The problem was our starters, they played horribly. They were disjunct, and everyone was throwing lazy passes.

judging from

Trout vs Kobe yesterday and Rudy vs Kobe in 2 olympic games…i’ll take Rudy over Trout. I think a lot of the fanbase for trout only see the highlights and the box scores and get excited over his performances…but when you look at the things that don’t show up on the box score, travis ends up not looking so impressive.

I really agree with that!

Greg so badly wanted to get back on the floor and play.

If this is a major setback, it’s Greg that I feel so sorry for. Not the Blazers brass who will likely have more season ticket refund requests or not even really we fans. We have an excellent team and can win with or without Greg. It will just be more difficult.

Thanks for the update Ben. I haven’t gotten a thing done today other than to check for the MRI report. Now maybe I can go back to normal stuff for awhile.

I also agree with the posts above that the longer the news is delayed, the more ominous it probably is. But I’m wrong a lot and maybe this will be one of those times.

by TwoDeep on Oct 29, 2008 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

Me too

I worry about Greg’s psyche.

He’s a sensitive lad, and the weight of the whole franchise is on his shoulders. He knows people worry more about his health than anyone else in the league, and all because of a stupid foot he landed on he’s back in injury trouble again.

I know our team has a sports psychologist for all of the players, and I know Oden is a smart kid who will get through this once he gets a healthy stretch in. If he is out for more than a few weeks, I worry about how tentative he’d become because he is so scared about getting himself hurt again.

He doesn’t wanna dissappoint, because he is a good kid.

We can only hope

The delay is because it is Greg Oden, because it happened to his right ankle (and thus the micro’d leg), and because it is Greg Oden.

Too careful is better than too un-careful I guess, though I think worrying too much as a franchise (and being visibly worried about Oden so much) will only make Oden more tentative.

The optimist in me hopes the delay is because, as I might have mentioned, it is Greg Oden.

I feel you man,

too bad we have no choice but to listen to him spew his drivel while we wait for news on Oden. It’s funny, I actually think he’s jealous of the love KP gets from this community, judging from his rant earlier today about how in all the quick poll BFT q’s, KP was voted best for everything, from blazers’ coach to president. Now he’s going off about how there is no big 3, or if there is it shouldn’t involve Oden, and all that crud. I think our problem is log jamming the perimeter. Rudy is quickly establishing himself as a top 3 player on this team, and for him and Roy to both get time, one of them is going to have to play out of position. I do not echo his belief that we need to do a blockbuster trade for a superstar SF, because I still believe in Martell. However, something has to be done about condensing our rotation. We may have been discombobulated yesterday from not having our rotation solidified as much as anything, and that is something that we will have trouble with all year, especially considering Martell’s injury.

regardless of what you think of joel, right now his dependability is much better than gregs

if you base who should start based on hype, potential, and being picked #1 – then yes, i beleive greg should start. but his inconsistant play & availability will have a negative effect on the other 4 starters during the short term.

bringing him off of the bench may be better for him in the long run.

Some advice:

Don’t let anyone play with you for ratings on an issue that’s important to you. The outcome will be the same whether you hear at 5:00 or 5:22. If somebody teases on something this important usually it means:

1. The news doesn’t turn out to be that important.

And…

2. I’m never listening to them again.

Serves the league and networks right

Nate was clearly angry that they’d rigged the schedule that way. He didn’t feel it was fair to his young big. Now GO will face those top West centers when he’s better prepared. And there’ll be much less fanfare. Plus: the team will face these early tests with the lineup that’s been in battle before. Blessing in disguise? I’d say maybe…

Yes, but from expecting a serious injury.

It could have been a Lisfranc injury, which would actually affect his entire career.

This is so much less important.

It also isn’t 4 weeks. It could be two. The Blazers generally give generous injury expectations. Channing and Brandon came back before it was expected.

by Cablinasian on Oct 29, 2008 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

It obviously could be 4 weeks, didn't mean to say it wouldn't.

For example, former UW quarterback Isaiah Stanback had a Lisfranc injury and it has hindered his career to the point that he feels pain any time he works out.

We are lucky to be in the position we are with Oden.

I made it thru the KP interview (which meant listening to the twerp asking the questions and commenting afterwards). Sounds like KP really is hoping 2 weeks.
