I think when people get first
That they should have to write a 250 word essay on the importance of being first. This is a blog after all. What is a blog without writing and essays? (Not counting photo blogs)

Shouldn't the essay be about the importance of refreshing your browser
Can an essay even be just 250 words long?

next time I say first, I’ll include a 250 word essay (or longer)
book it.

Dwight Howard and Co.
This will be a tough one. Hopefully Joel can at least keep Dwight to a double-double and not a double-double-double(20 and 20). I guess that doesn’t make sense.
You know Howard’s gonna be watching out for Rudy this time, but I’d love to see Rudy dunk on him again!
You got to think Howard would like some pay back with Rudy
But I dont read him as a cheap shot guy

And what would a 7' slam dunk champ
get from dunking on a 185lb 6’6" guy. May make the Sports Center highlight just because Rudy’s dunk in the Olympics. But it wouldn’t impress many people. Now if Rudy dunks on him again, THAT will make the highlights. Go Rudy!!

He is an optical downgrade, but the Blazers might be interested if he pulls his ETO option
With Granger off the market, there are not that many good SFs available as free agents.
Dwight will kill us in the paint
Joel will get in foul trouble and then it will be even easier for howard. We need to have Oden staring at howard from the bench for a lil intimidation

If he could do that and simultaneously do anything whatsoever on the offensive glass, I would agree with you...
………………………………. His problem is that he hangs out up high way too much, which becomes a problem, rebound-wise.

I only get to go to a few games a year, if I’m lucky. (Last year was a banner year: 3 live games, two wins.)

I dislike NBATV games
They get blacked out from the League Pass preview and I don’t have the channel on my TV. This forces me to watch on shady internet links, sometimes of low quality. Its a bummer.

Are they even making any money off of that channel? It just pisses me off, if I’m paying for leaguepass why can’t I get NBATV games?

How can they be so lame to sell League Pass and not carry NBATV?
That’s lame. That’s like having ESPN2 but not ESPN. You know, if you had to pay for ESPN2. I’m sure you get the picture.
As far as I can tell
when you get League Pass, they also give you NBATV. In fact, I’m almost positive this is true.
All I know is, I didn’t have NBATV, and when I was searching for the game this morning to record it, I found it on NBATV and it worked.
"For the past two seasons it's been like, 'They're young, they're going to need some time,"' Roy said. "It doesn't feel like that this season."
I don't get it.
If they can sell advertising, why not just broadcast all the games?

I have the Comcast sports pack and League Pass
And believe it or not, I have two separate channels playing NBA TV, one for each package. Weird but true.
I still couldn’t lose the sports package. I’d miss ESPN Classic.
NFL Network is the selling point for me...

actually a perimeter type of player
like channing might be good against howard, considering the rest of the magic arent great rebounders, where as everyone except our point guards are decent offensive rebounders, with our dismal FG % some extra possessions might be beneficial.
dwight will still get his 20/10 though
I'm with you
I say we try and run them out of the court and use frye and aldridge in that center role a bit to try and draw howard out of the paint.. then Batum, Roy, Outlaw, Rudy, etc. attacks the offensive boards like crazy

This doesn't go here, but I don't care. Hollinger grumps about Portland
http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=23511 (Insider)
John Hollinger: Greetings from Portland, where I’ve had better luck with the basketball (two last-second finishes in 48 hours) than the weather (garden variety Northwest dreary).
Because everyone knows the NorthEAST is constantly sunny and beautiful, never dreary…
Riboflavin (Portland, Or): So after watching two exciting wins by the Blazers, what are your impressions of the team? Rudy sure is fun to watch, eh?
John Hollinger: Rudy is better than I thought he’d be (I was high on him long term but thought he’d need longer to hit his stride). Blazers in general, however, have most of the same issues as a year ago, and I think they’re headed for about the same record.
The Blazers have played the toughest starting schedule in NBA history and they are 3-3. Now granted they haven’t played to their potential, and granted Oden looks to be human, but ….they’ve played the toughest starting schedule in NBA history and they are 3-3. Hollinger likes to grump, and I think he has a special dark place in his heart for Portland. Not sure why exactly.

Hollinger loves Portland
He lived here and worked for oregonlive. He’s a stats man, and so far the stats suggest we’re about the same team as last year.

I knew he worked for OLive for awhile, I'm not sure I've ever heard him say he loved it here

Most fans think he is grumpy about their team, when in reality he is just less passionate and more focused on numbers. Can you find anything in his post to disagree with?

Anything to disagree with stat-wise or conclusion-wise?
For the record, I’m the exact opposite of a stat guy. Stat guys miss a lot of things.

At least he admitted to Rudy being 10x better than he thought
but seriously, no props for being 3-3 with 2 starters out and that ridiculously hard schedule.
WWKPD?
Ambassador to the Miami Heat
That's not particularly grumpy for him
He thinks we had luck with injuries last season apart from Oden, and compared to league averages he is right. We lost James Jones, who he thinks was important. And his stats show that our point differential was actually worse than the number of wins we got. So he has us reaching the 8th spot, but not improve just as much yet as some people around here think (hope). Right now the Wolves are ranked as one of the worst teams in the league, and we barely beat them. Not enough to change his mind yet.
I would say that assuming a team won't make the playoffs based on 6 games...
is overly gloomy. Especially when he himself states that he doesn’t even have enough evidence to put together a first installment of his power rankings.
Blazer Fan
by leeroyjenkins on Nov 10, 2008 1:54 PM PST up reply actions
he doesn't have enough evidence
he’s not “assuming” we won’t make it. He just said that, in his opinion, we won’t. I don’t see much wrong with that. If we start proving ourselves as a playoff team, he’ll acknowledge it, don’t worry.

mini Hollinger stat update
The Blazers are the slowest team in the league (30th in pace factor). On a points per possession bases, we have the 3rd best offense and the 3rd worst defense in the league.
Boomshakalaka
yep thats about right
exactly why nate doesnt allow much risky play at the moment, our defense is not good.
we used to have a team in sydney we called the “cardiac kids”, since they always had a knack for winning in the last minute of the game, the blazers have been the same so far this season
Watching the defense
I’m going to pay special attention to the Blazers D this game. I’m curious to see how the Blazers play Howard. Przybilla will likely go solo, but I’m sick of the guards playing no man’s land between the post and 3-point line. I wish they would either commit to a double team instead of making half-effort swipes at the ball. Howard is turnover prone under aggressive double teams. I’d like to see some double teams just to throw him off balance. Of course, I’m not sure if the Blazers know how to double the post since they hardly ever do it.
I’ll also be watching how the Blazers play pick and roll defense. Most of the time the Blazers switch, but not all the time. I’m not sure what strategy the Blazers use on pick and rolls.
Lastly, I’ll be paying attention to the shots the Magic take. Whether the Blazers can stop dribble penetration and force the offense to make plays. I can handle Howard getting his points, I don’t think he’s good enough offensively to beat a team.
Here’s to our first ROAD WIN.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO

We’ve certainly given up a lot of good looks, but it is realistic for teams to continue shooting like that from deep? Maybe it is— I honestly don’t know.

i can see us going with
a long quick team, outlaw/batum etc. so we can double quickly, and also get out to the perimeter shooters as well
It could get ugly
if Orlando decides they want to make open 3 pointers. Pick your poison: Double team Howard in the paint and leave shooters open OR let Dwight work in the post 1 on 1.

I can’t explain it really, but I don’t. He’s sort of an AI type to me, looks good, gets the numbers, but at the end of the day the wins aren’t piling up like they should be. It’s going to be some scrub that trips up the Blazers if they do indeed lose. Like a Jameer Nelson suddenly hitting eight 3’s or something ridiculous like that.

we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

22pts 14 rebs 4 blocks on 60% FG shooting and since FT shooting is a weakness the Blazers share with Howard, I think we can be lax on that. He’s no good because he doesn’t have the moves of Hakeem or Duncan?

to be honest
im not really worried about howards scoring, practically every team has a player that can score 20 or 30 on a given night, its more about his defense and rebounding.
if we can get him in early foul trouble the magic have no other outstanding defensive players
Outcome
Sorry Blazer fans. This is a double digit loss tonight.

lets see what strategies nate and the boys come up with, you can never count out a team with LMA and brandon roy

Espn Insider
Anybody have insider account summarize what he said about the Blazers?
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
he probably said what we all know
mostly perimeter shooters and poor defence against penetrating point guards
I have insider and he said this
One reason Portland struggled to keep him under wraps, however, was because the Wolves surrounded him with three shooters down the stretch, playing Jefferson with Mike Miller, Randy Foye and Kevin Love, while Sebastian Telfair ran the point. And in the final 90 seconds Rashad McCants replaced Telfair and they had four shooters around Jefferson…
According to 82games.com, Minnesota is plus-10 for the season in the three minutes when that unit has operated together.
That’s good stuff about Al Jefferson.
I'll give you this but if you want more, you got to say something nice about unicorns
Before the Blazers-Wolves game, Nate McMillan made some very interesting comments regarding his team’s inability to get to the free-throw line.
saying they don’t do enough to exaggerate fouls in order to get the whistle.
What drew his ire was an illegal screen call that Travis Outlaw drew in the Houston game two nights earlier. Outlaw threw his hands up as he got mashed by a Chuck Hayes screen and drew the call. Apparently the other players were teasing Outlaw about this during the morning film session, but McMillan wants his players to do more of that. He said young players were so worried about being labeled a flopper that they overreached in the opposite direction, and wouldn’t do simple things to get themselves foul calls.
Pshhh, Outlaw is a flopper.
I’m not sure if I can quote much more legally and not get man on my tail.

baDAbing!
I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.
--Magnum
You just changed
your sig to reflect what Mag said maybe at the exact same time I changed mine to reflect what YOU said. What are the odds??
"you rock, sir" -prezofdeath
Creeeeepy
It’s like….Matrix meets the Twighlight zone.
I change my sig about once every two weeks…not sure about you, but I’d assume that might be close to true for you.
There was about 5 minutes in between our sig changing times, so let’s say there’s 12 of those 5 minute periods in an hour….24 hours in a day…14 days in two weeks.
Thus, for any given period, it’s 4032 of those periods in two weeks. For us to pick this exact period would be 1/4032 * 1/4032 = 1 in 1,6257,024 chance.
Whoaa.
I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

Never

I suppose there is something similar available for Windows.
Yes, there is. My problem was that I was confused about the SPANISH TIME!!!!!!!!

Enjoy the game, gang ... I'm off to dinner at sports bar for first half.

NBA TV
So, my lame provider does not carry NBA TV but I do get league pass. This is annoying because I miss all the NBA TV games even though I get everything else. For awhile I had a link of a site (veetle.com) that was streaming NBA TV 24 hours a day, but it looks like the NBA told them to cut it out. Anyone know of another site like that?
I know I could follow shady links but it’s so much easier to have a site that I know will show all of them so I don’t have to search every game.
Sorry, don’t know if this is appropriate for a gameday thread, but this game is on NBA TV, so what the heck!

The Olympics is better for skilled bigs
Howard is a beast, but not very skilled— not in the international big man way.
And with the constant zones, they make it tough to go inside, and he can’t hit a jumper of course…
Howard is better in the NBA, and is a monster.

He’ll keep getting stronger, but for now he just needs to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT to make up for the lack of strength (even though I don’t think he is that weak anymore.)
Yeah, he seems angry when he grabs a rebound.
If he started rebounding consistently, he would be an all-star.

I wish there would be a story on Greg Oden. Have you heard of this guy? I can’t seem to find any coverage on him!

He's got a great assist to turnover ratio this season so far
They’re probably looking at the current stats
Because this season is such a massive statistical sample size, right?
Not knocking Surge, I hope he stays and plays, but lets not get carried away… the guy has a history of being TO prone.
Dude chill
I’m just saying the announcers are probably using this year’s stats.
They’re rarely well-prepared.

If you told me that....
Howard would be 7-8 from the FT line
Turk hadn’t missed a shot
we’d given up 50% shooting
and Joel got 2 quick fouls
all by the the 8 minute mark in the 2nd quarter, I’d say we’d be down by 10 or 12
WWKPD?

his shot rimmed out
unlucky

3 shots should not change your mind.
A complete forward he is not, but he is a good pick and pop player.

and who's to say Howard wouldn't be in foul trouble either?

With the less than stellar back court
I think Bayless’ game would be very useful. We should give him a look in the 2nd half.
i like andre and eric

Want to see
Roy’s attack happen in the context of a team offense.
Roy's attack
IS the team offense. Which is why he had 9 dimes last game. He sets up others. Waaaaaaaay too much Roy bashing since Rudy came. Fans are so silly.

Nic and Pryz have been utterly neutralized with foul trouble...

Yes. They're actually shooting 75% from 3.

6 points and 6 rebounds from LMA
nets him a +12?
Roy with his 17 points only is at +4?
I’ll never understand/agree with the plus minus stat

there's nothing to agree
it’s just accounting, the problem starts when people try to give it a meaning.
It can provide hints about what is going on, but not necessarily determinative...

+/- doesn't have anything to do with them scoring, it's the change in TEAM points when they are on the court.
………………………… If Frye comes in and Blazers are 6 points ahead, and he goes out 5 minutes later and they are 2 points ahead, it is scored as a 4 on his +/ column, even if he was 4-for-4 from the field during that time.

Software screwed me up, read SCORED AS A MINUS 4 ON HIS PLUS/MINUS COLUMN

Dwight's grin makes me want to slap him.

Au Contraire
LAST!
I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

dang it!

Dang ME (thanx to Roger Miller)
Well here I sit high, gettin’ ideas
Ain’t nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin’ wild
Woman sittin’ home with a month old child
CHORUS:
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.
Just sittin’ around drinkin’ with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
Spent the half the groceries and all the rent
Like fourteen dollars having twenty seven cents.
(CHORUS)
Roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple
I was the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I’m a son of a gun.
(CHORUS)
