Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Suns
by Ben Golliver on Nov 1, 2008 1:59 PM PDT
Email
PrintDave was tied up last night, so get started on the gameday open thread RIGHT NOW and I'm sure he will come through to say a few words to preview the Suns shortly.
Here's my Suns preview. Terry Porter is their coach and the Blazers should retire his jersey. HONOR TERRY PORTER.
Be sure to check out Bright Side of the Sun. That site is so awesome -- as soon as we cut Steven Hill, they were all set to pick him up. These guys think like us!
Go ahead, say it loud and proud: "FIRST."
-- Ben (benjamin.golliver@gmail.com)
Update: A couple thoughts from Dave...
First on last night, nice to get the win. I love how we opened up the middle and then moved the ball and people in there. I liked the hustle to force turnovers and get offensive rebounds. Roy and Aldridge really came through...Roy especially with those clutch shots and the calming influence. Loved the break. Loved how Batum helped the break. Predictably we killed the Spurs bench and that made a huge difference. When the second units were in it reminded me of the pre-season games against the Kings. If you don't defend this Portland team well they will take you to the woodshed. The unselfishness last night was spectacular as well. We also drew fouls, which was important. Our point-of-attack defense still needs some work. We saw the signs of youth not being able to put the game away when we got up. Also I wasn't thrilled how willingly we got into a jump-shooting contest with the Spurs when they invited us to. Situational awareness is definitely a work in progress with the Blazers. Hanging on for the win aptly describes it, but it WAS a win and that's great.
Quick overview of tonight:
1. Defend the pick and roll with Nash. That's going to be the first and greatest key.
2. Do not let the Suns get back on you in transition. I don't care how different their style is, if they're running behind your defenders this game is going to be a blowout.
3. Keep Amare and Shaq from getting deep in the paint and catching the ball. Also make them move around on defense. They and Grant Hill are exploitable on defense if you don't make it easy on them by letting them remain stationary.
4. Two of the bigger challenges of the night will be to keep up on the boards and to keep them from parlaying all the attention we have to pay to their main guys into a host of wide-open threes.

Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a $hit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the a$$ n he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fukin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the fukin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuk it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.
was anyone at the game last night...
disappointed with the fan turnout. I was sitting in section 330 and could stretch out to the right and put my feet on the empty chairs in front of me. We also had a great view of the rest of the arena and it was clear that some of the seats(~50+?) didn’t fill up all game. It was announced above 20,000 maybe thats the amount of tickets sold but I doubt that is the real number of fans that actually turned up for the game. I bet the only reason some people didn’t show up was Greg, sometimes portland fans sadden me…

Scalpers buy up the cheap seats
They don’t always sell. Or you could be like me… I had two seats, but nobody responded when I offered up the ticket on the ‘this’ site… $20 wasn’t asking to much. lol
The place was sold out period. It was loud, and I’m proud of our showing!

Cuda… please email some good pics. Im still mad you put those unflattering shots on the rec’d pictures post! LOL nah its cool It was a blast last night!!!
What is the rotation tonight for the Suns?
Does Jerryd get minutes against Nash ?
Does Sergio play more than 10 minutes?
Does Nate play Travis and Batum @ the same time much as he did last night?

This was the real nasty layup he made slicing into the lane, swooping up and around Duncan (who’s face is good in the pic) I really can’t believe how good this kid is looking. I love his speed, its nice to have a fast Blazer!
Sophia, you’re wedding will be expensive with all the BEdgers there. By then, Batum will be able to afford it ;-) Might be a little awkward signing autographs at his wedding though.

I would know because that’s what I wore to my wedding. Let’s just say my wife was not pleased. She wouldn’t say whether she was more upset by the dress or me repeatedly calling out three in the key.
What about that block on Duncan?
Correct me if I’m wrong here, but didn’t I see a completely clean, perfectly timed block on TD last night by young Batoom? This guy is as exciting to watch as Rudy! I think TO’s days of starting are numbered.
Yes and RoysBlazers got an awsome pic of it too!

Hopefully Sergio’s minuets will continue to improve as he notices Steve Nash hitting open shots on Blake all night. We are going to have to be on spot from the field, since I am not sure we have what it takes to fight in the paint.

I'm not sure if we need a point guard doing minuets on the court
s/ I’m sure it would go over well in Europe or on dancing with the stars, but come on, this is the NBA. /s
We cannot put up with this flagrant lack of accountability anymore.
I was thinking
Bayless may see some munutes against Nash, the Blazers say he is already are best defesive point.
the blazers contradict themselves all the time
he hasn’t shown that he has been a much better defender than blake.

I’m not a Bayless fan at all, but I think he is slightly better than Blake at on the ball defense.

Bayless should get an opportunity ... one might think
Nash is a small PG and Bayless likes to attack the rim and isnt afraid of contact… might be a tougher match-up for Nash to handle then Blake and Sergio who seem content to stay on the perimeter
You can't front on that
can you give an example
of a player that bayless was able to stop that blake wasnt? IMO bayless makes a lot of contact with the defender and is always all up in their grill coming up the court, but they always seem to get by him with him running alongside.

Tonight is a real challenge for LMA
can he bring it again against one of the best Power Forwards in the game? He played with a certain hall of fame veteran, now can he hang with one of the great athletes and power players in the game in Amare? I also want to see some serious minutes for Batum to cut down on that Phoenix perimeter game. I can’t wait!

If i see outlaw leaving his guy open on the 3 point line one more time
i might pull my hair out. Batum definitely needs to play more minutes. And if batum keeps playing like he did yesterday methinks outlaw will be on the trading block by the mid-season deadline along with RLEC.

Amen.
It was so painful to see the Spurs making three after three from the corner. I guess Outlaw was trying to stay close enough to double Duncan, but he made some really poor decisions about spacing.

Outlaw on defense
Nobody ever said Outlaw was a great defender or better then any of our other options… uh… well… maybe once I did comparing him to Web. But after two games and a few lapses … well isnt it a bit premature to put Travis on the block?
My hope is the signing of Web to a modest contract, not one unlike Travis’ deal last year, is a sign the team is committed to both for the future. Batums emergence and Rudys growth do make for interesting scenarios, but even with RLECs contract, I dont see THEE guy out there who would make a huge difference. This team is built on the near future, not the immediate future.
You can't front on that
What about a large package
for Devin Harris?
New Jersey gets some cap relief right when the LeBron hunt is in effect. They get a nice young PG in Bayless so they aren’t killed at that position. If Curry shapes up he might even be helpful there in Jersey. New York gets a perfect fast break PG and a former Super Star who would love the big lights of New York and might even show up to play for D’Antoni. If Vinsanity shows up he’s as good as nearly anyone in the league.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
Doh I post too fast cause wife got home.
Obviously Outlaw could be a force for New Jersey and can slide over as an offensive 4 when Lebron gets there giving a secondary offensive option. With Bayless’ penetration and scoring along with Outlaw and King James New Jersey (Brooklyn 2010) would be a couple of pieces away from a real contender in the East if not the minute you get that nucleus together. New York and New Jersey both shed over paid problem players (Vince and Curry respectively) and can start with their new culture.
The benefit to Portland is obvious.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
Pithy
I’m sure we’d all like to see that quote from the Blazers that contradicts there take on Bayless as a defender. Oh, and by the way, what’s this “all the time stuff”. You sound a little sour. Are you a Blazer fan or just a visitor?
Are you joking?

I really don't think..
Shaq will do much defense on Channing. Likewise, I don’t think Nate will make Channing play defense on Shaq. I think Shaq’s minutes will be matched by Joel’s. I could be wrong, but I think Channing comes in when Shaq gets substituted.
This should be a great game to watch
Especially the second units. A lot of fast breaks. Sergio will get plenty of minutes tonight especially when Gordon is in for Nash. It will be a tough game, but it should be entertaining!! It’s always fun watching Shaq take free throws
As much as I love the pic of Nic
Posting pics in the game day thread seems to slow things down,maybe not such a good idea

You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a $hit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fukin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.

Typical Beaver Crap.
Colloquial name for Jealous LIttle Brother Syndrome (JLBS).
Symptoms include wearing inordinate amounts of orange and black, rooting against a rival team at all costs (even when fans of the rival couldn’t care less about your team’s success or failure), and an urge to do unspeakable things to farm animals. Sufferers also tend to be insufferable in public, making uncalled-for jabs that catch fans of said rival school by surprise.

thats funny
thank goodness my U of O friends havent been by in a few weeks to tell me how great the Ducks are
Yeah...
Being in Spokane, the few Beaver fans up here are really, REALLY obnoxious. I noticed it in high school too, but there were enough “good” Beaver fans too. Here, we have OSU fans who go to the TV hotspots on campus just to root for whatever team the Ducks happen to be playing. It’s pretty bad.
The average Spokane Beaver fan is almost as bad as the average Husky fan.

The teams that have had Portland's number: Spurs, Suns, Orlando, and Houston. We have
to take one from the Suns but the odds on ESPN are the same as the Laker game. If the Blazers play aggressive like last night it will be a close game and possibly another win. Hope to see Rudy get more shots.
If Diaw scratches somebody else in the eye (see my junk drawer), he should get disqualified and BE wins.
Also, the calculation should somehow account for the fact that he costs like ten times as much as Nic.
I followed you to the Suns page. lol nice

I would love you to win that bet, Ben.
But I wouldn’t have taken it. Batum may have a game as good as last night, and you could still lose. And being a rookie, there’s no guarantee that he will have that game again tonight. Sorry to be a spoilsport, but man, you should have tried to get better odds.
I hope I’m wrong. That would be awesome.

remember, remember the fifth of November
I'm excited about tonights game!
I know we can pull it off. Think I’m gonna head across the street to Subway to get some grub. It makes me feel awkward to have to ask them not use the knife to cut my sandwich, or to place it down the middle and use it to fold the sub shut… which would make it uneatable. It makes me cringe that they use the same knife to cut all the subs with, and when it’s not in use it’s sitting in a vat of bacteria filled water.
We do have playahs recovering from last night

its looks like he can disrupt Phoenix defense. He can penetrate on Nash at will. They will have to pay attention to him and it will open up lanes for tired Roy.
This should be a close one. If it wasn't a traveling back-to-back I'd pick the Balzers...
Shaq is in the part of his career where he’s only playing 25 minutes or so, and the Suns are on the decline. Still a good team, but this is a winnable game if the Blazers don’t get tired and fade…

Suns aren't elite anymore
and I have a hard time calling the Manu-less Spurs elite.
Both playoff teams… but neither gets past round 1 IMO (LAL, Utah, NOH, Houston will be the top 4 out west).

Houston will fall apart. Book it.
Also, I know that SA and PHX aren’t quite the league’s “elite,” but they’re at least second-tier. Which is a far cry from where the Blazers are predicted to finish.

Great story that
The Gorilla is the first NBA team mascot anywhere.
In the winter of 1980, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla arrived on the scene in the form of an singing telegram messenger. History has it that the hairy singer began dancing out onto the court during a break in the action. He was invited back and has “hung” around ever since.
The Gorilla is an original member of the Mascot HOF.

Oh, that's easy...
1. Rex is going to be the guard of the future. He is extremely quick, but young. He gets to the rack with authority. He’s gonna be GOOOOD.
2. Joel Przybilla is a world-class rebounder. He is a joy to watch when he is on, which is usually.
3. Marty is a terrific jumpshooter. He has good and bad games, as everyone does, but he’s still a BABY in basketball terms.
4. Rudy. Superstar. Sixth man of the year.
5. Batum looks reeeeeallllly good down the road. He can RUN. We like guys who can RUN. Someday the Blazers will learn how to RUN. He can also finish at the rack. I look forward to seeing him and Rex.
See, there’s 5 and I didn’t even mention Roy — who I am overwhelmingly positive about — or LMA, who I rarely rag about, outside of his outside shooting decisions. But I blame that on coaching.
I don’t think I’m in the top 20% of Travis raggers.
I hate the Oden worshippers, but the jury is still out on the player. I can appreciate what he does well, which is Shaq-like.
I’m not negative about Blake. Cite an example where I ever have been if you can…

Outlaw is the worst perimeter defender I have ever seen. Now he can hang a feather on being terrible on rotations as well.

That was one thing I wanted to see Outlaw work on during the off-season: his defense. No excuse considering how hyper athletic he is.

Bad Night
They’re not playing the same game. Shaq, Nash and Amare get EVERY SINGLE CALL. Brandon Roy, our supposed star player can’t buy a call. He’s hacked on nearly every possession and ends up with nothing. Portland’s backups played great tonight, but you can’t compete when you have to play the refs and the Suns. Too much to overcome.
Bad Excuse
Blazers are soft and perimeter oriented. You get calls when you are aggressive. Suns are a better team.

Why does Nate hate Spaniards?
His playing pattern of the Spanish Air-mada leaves a lot to be desired.Rudy scores 20 in 22 minutes. Nate, get a freaking clue – play him more when you need someone to score. Just unreal, just unreal.

PHX 25 Pts from FT line
"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."
I wish I could blame this on the back-2-back or the refs
But honestly, the Blazers don’t play like a playoff team. Seems pretty much the same team from last year after the 13 win streak ended. Too many jumpshots, bad defensive rotations, bad zone defense, LMA playing soft, and bad coaching decisions. No discernible improvement. Oden is not the silver bullet to a championship caliber team.

This team needs to get to the line and get some more FTs. 30-12 at the line is not going to cut it.
I think
That’s why Nate wanted to try Bayless in there to see if he could draw some fouls. Guess he was too scurred.
Nate should have run Rex out in the first half... Dropping him in down 10 in the 4th was akin to emptying the bench...
………………….. Nobody was staying with Nash. Rex didn’t play the game previous and was fresh. I would have rolled the dice.

Quick notes
Alright effort, especially on the second night of a back to back on the road.
Roy and LMA had subpar games, when that happens the Blazers lose.
Both settled for far too many jump shots.
Interior defense was pretty much nonexistent.
Steve Nash and Amare destroyed us and Nash barely played (comparatively speaking to his usual minutes).
Our Zone defense was completely ineffective.
Our rotations clearly don’t take advantage of our strengths. I don’t really understand why at one point we were playing Roy Blake and Bayless at the same time.
Travis does not work well on the starting unit, he had a poor showing as well.

It would have been a blow out if the Suns played Amare with the bench in the 2nd Quarter
They played a rookie PG with some scrub named Admunson or something.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Rebounding was atrocious, especially on offense
Shaq and Amare grabbed everything cause usually there was just one big man anywhere near them.
Even Pryz was not right tonight... Some of that due to Shaq's presence, no doubt... But he was not looking good -- he dropped a couple.
FREE SERGIO -- Trade Him or Cut Him NOW!!!
Well not totally unexpected
Nice effort by the bench tonight, thought LMA played soft after the first few minutes, and Roy didn’t play smart. I don’t think I have ever seen so many careless passes and not recognizing what the defense was giving him.
Our offense was pass the ball around the outside until we got a semi open jumper. Phoenix pulled away when they went inside to Shaq and Amare. Our defense really hasn’t gotten much better than last year. A bit more opportunistic with the second unit, but our starters really struggle keeping their man in front of them.
So learn again and move on to the next test.
"From Bill Walton to Brandon Roy, we wanna know it all
From Clyde Drexler to Greg Oden, from the basket to the ball

Hmmm...I'm in the Twilight Zone...
So, we made a run in the 2nd Quarter by running, getting steals, and getting them when they weren’t set.
Was it me or we hardly scored against their Zone…
So with 4 minutes left and we are down by 12, we slow it down in every possession and shoot with 3-4 seconds left on the shot clock…How would we ever get back into the game when the time is not on our side, and we don’t make any stops.
We should have just suckered them into playing a fast game, and make them get sloppy…
I hate second guessing Sarge but anyone else seeing the same things? So frustrating…we were playing slow motion down by double digits…
Although I am beginning to think
That if Batum played 30 minutes a game he would be in the top five in steals in the NBA. That’s fun to watch.

Roy needs to play Rudy style when both are in the game.
Otherwise it turns Rudy into nothing but a 1 dimensional catch and shoot player (which he is exceptionally capable of doing) while Roy runs the pick and roll to death. It almost ends up becoming Roy/big man pick and roll while the other 3 just stand around. Rudy is being totally underused playing pick and roll ball. I want to see more of his top of the key hesitation jumpers that he did so well with Joventut. Batum showed signs of exceptional transition play against the spurs (with that outlet pass from Roy), I think the biggest fix Nate could do is put Batum with the starters. A couple of steals to start the game would get us out of the stagnant first quarter rhythm we’ve seen in the past 3 games.
Often Roy ended up taking contested jumpers late in the shotclock cause everyone passed back to him
Those are shots he could get any time. Not very good movement overall and no inside presence to take the ball to the rack.
I want to see Rudy create his own shot more, or just attack the basket.
Either that or get Nate to give Bayless the green light the next time he’s in the game. If we’re going to lose our first few games anyway, lets use this time to throw our rookies into the fire, so to speak. Play Blake less and use Bayless/Sergio more.
What game is Nate watching??
Rudy and Batum clearly need more minutes!!! I think our best line-up is Roy/Rudy/Batum/LMA/Pryzbilla. Travis should go back to the bench. Blake is killing us. We’re settling for way to many jump shots and should be going to the hoop more.
Nice job Nate
Travis is leading the league in turnovers and pathetic defense so he gets the most mnutes?
Evidence that Travis is being shopped?
I think the team misses Martel way more than any of us thought they would.
not to rain on our parade,
but Martell’s ballhandling wasn’t one of his strong points last year, so it remains to be seen whether that has improved this season.
Martell is a way better defender...
than Trout…We need Batum in the starting lineup for steals and easier points
I am also starting to lean this way
Travis is lost with the first team as he isn’t one of the first three options and moving without the ball isn’t one of his strong suits. i would rather have him come in with the second unit where he can move up the food chain. Seems to be somewhat of a waste on the first unit. Although to be fair it’s only been three games. Maybe he can develop a rhythm as the season progresses.

That would be great!
I see trouble in the Houston game. Artest owns Roy, Brooks is a quick guard who will give us fits. If LMA plants himself in the low post and shoots over Scola, we would have a chance.

I like Blazers chances at Utah after a few days off. Houston is tough but at home, pick 'em there, too. Should beat MN.
