AND A PRE APROVED MESSAGE FROM AN AVID READER.
This game should be a learning experience no matter the outcome, I’m hoping for another fist through the rib cage, heart ripping out game despite the looming feeling of not quite having figuring out how to compete with Phoenix. I think that Oden finally playing against Shaq ought to be a good exercise for the kid’s development, but I still expect to see him posterize Shaq out of pure frustration. I could care less if he gets an offensive foul in the process, just as long as he throws the ball down so hard on Shaq that Steve Nash has to come over and help his Fat bottom off the court (imagining one short skinny old man, helping a tall fat old man up). This could be one for the record books and a fine place to start saying that we are for real, or another Na Sayers ammunition for the future….time will tell, but I’m enjoying the ride so far.
GO PORTLAND!!!!

Ha ha suckers
I didn’t write a report when we played the Bulls, but Matt wrote a FanShot. Dave’s da kine was 1,000 times better than what I could do. BaB is like a friend who just got dumped by his girlfriend. They are emotional and grumpy right now.
The Bulls are only comment worthy right now, they’re not FanPost material.
I still expect(respectfully request) a general overview of their fanbase and who their high on and who they wanna dump...
pretty much the insignifigant, yet insightful paragraph you droped on us for the bulls game, (although YOU could have done far far far better), I’m still a little sore about that Thomas ;)

Yeah
They hardly know me, because all they do it talk about trades and that’s not my thing. If I would have done anything more than what I did, then it probably would not have gone over well, especially after the game. They made my comment into a FanShot.
Go read the recap of yesterday’s game against Golden State. You can hardly tell by reading the recap and comments that they won, because they are not in a happy place right now.

They appear to be delusional
Not yet ready to face reality.

I think it’s a lot easier on my heart
I like em,
but I also enjoy the down to the wire wins.
but if I had to rank em, they’d go like this..
down to the wire win…
blow out.
5 or more point win
win but didn’t deserve to.
down to the wire lose

Shaq and Oden
Anyone have quotes from Shaq on Oden? Shaq is definately one of the most entertaining characters in the league has had some of the most memorable quotes over the years of anyone. I’d love to read some off the comments he has on Oden if they exist.
Now that being said, if Shaq tries to hurt Oden like he’s tried to hurt Priz, I hope somebody finely shows some spine and step up to the big man. The things this team has let him get away with…
I had a toaster
That poached an egg, cooked your English muffing, and warmed your ham. It only worked for about 8 months though and I got really sick of eating those little sandwiches.
muffing?

Probably not on an arena rim
The ones Shaq broke were stiff ones in a training facility. He tore down two as far as I know though (the stanchion just collapsed), and since then they have become even stronger.

Talk radio down here has been very complimentary of the Blazers and the job KP has done in transforming the team. I wouldn’t mind seeing a good old-fashioned 130-128 game just like the old days between Portland & Phoenix, with Roy hitting one at the buzzer to win it!

Once upon a time the Suns got out on the break... and along came Steve sucKerr
im tipping a blazers win
and heres why:
- if oden stays out of foul trouble the blazers are one of the few teams that could theoretically play shaq straight up
- amare is one of the quickest PFs in the league, but LMA could possibly keep in front of him and force him to shoot jumpers, amare is not consistent.
- our bench is a lot stronger than the suns, diaw is very inconsistent and grant hill/barbosa are the only real weapons there, we have fernandez, outlaw, sergio, oden, frye, bayless who can all make an impact
- we are coming off 2 straight wins, the momentum is with the blazers
- last game against the suns we really could have won that game, and we werent playing well, this time we are looking a bit better overall
- the key play for the suns will be nash, we cannot allow his penetration and dish, nash/barnes/bell can all hit the 3 ball consistently
- we may see oden at 30 mins and sergio at 20 mins tonite
my prediction: blazers by 7
also, the blazers got to rest quite a bit last night so they shouldn't be tired even though this is a back to back
This thread needs more COWBELL!!
so we play steve like we did paul...
and….don’t foul shaq with our centers and we should come out on top! right?

This group is just BEGINNING to gel
we can beat phoenix…
its all about confidence here…these guys are great for each other
this team can be the 5th seed in the west…
i’m excited to watch this season — my luck shav got picked up by this group.. :-) ..think about it, he was through memphis & SA, this summer .. . . i would have missed alot….
of course i mighta gotten more sleep..
good energy in this bunch…they are having fun…
was watching Shav & pryz laughing on the bench watching Channing & GO get lost on D down low…you can tell they enjoy each other and were into the game…
they are really focused in and can concievably play 10 to 11 (martel) deep without losing anything much…that will wear the vet teams out and will pay extra dividends later in the season…we’ll be less “rookie prone error” mode and still be fresh from depth + youth…
Blazer fans should be excited by this team…my hopes are that they continue to play together without trying to stick in a superstar (and his ego) They don’t need one.
"this team can be the 5th seed in the west"
FYI: Currently in a 5-way tie for 2nd in the West. I’d say it’s wide open right now except for the #1 spot.
all the better
there are alot of talented teams and talent will consolidate around the trade deadline…maybe portland will go higher…I’m open to that :-)
Another Reason:
Barbosa is likely out. Unfortunately his mother died so he is in Brazil. I feel really bad for him because Barbosa is such a nice, sensitive guy.

I hope he remembers what Amare did to him last time.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
this year
he is not as tough as he has been… something (or someone) is limiting him. maybe age is catching up with him
Once upon a time the Suns got out on the break... and along came Steve sucKerr
clearly
it’s not about shotting 3s in bunches, as opposed to Pringles’ and I just don’t understand why he is so under-utilized. TP is using The Big Funwrecker all the time and he’s still one of the better passing big men in the NBA… he could create loads of opportunities for Bell, Nash and Barbosa… but, for some reason Porter is limiting his guards’ play
Once upon a time the Suns got out on the break... and along came Steve sucKerr
Grant Hill
Can’t forget about him or we will pay.
Betcha
All our bigs will be in foul trouble due to questionable calls before the end of the first quarter and there will be bench clearing fights.
Rudy with the win.
come on
I’m a devoted conspiracy theorist in this: Stern HATES Phx. he tries to do wrong against us in any concievable way

How better to incorperate Oden into the starting line up than a

Oden eats Shaq for Dinner and asks for seconds….

Amare will be a workout (o and Shaq?)..
but with GO, aldridge, przy And channing….Ike? It should be interesting…If I remember their 2nd line bigs were not very effective last 2 times…
its never easy to pull out a win in Phoenix
that goes back to my earliest rememberances of the wonder twins Van Arsdayles, the choker Tom Chambers and that whining homunculus KJ, to todays crew including Nash and Amare. It aint going to be as easy for the PTB as it has the past couple games, but I still remain confident.
Go Trail Blazers!

The documentary on Rudy Makelele posted? I was so thrilled to see there is a part with me in it getting Rudy’s autograph on my jersey at the airport around the 3:20 point. So sweet!
It’s a really well done documentary on his journey to Portland. Most of it is in spanish but it’s a cool look into his introduction to the city from his lifelong basketball journey that has brought him here. It’s in the fanposts titled “A gift for Rudy fans”

Boy I regret it and I miss Resistence……
Anyone else looking forward to Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe??

i prefer it tremendously over the xbox…..better interface, better exclusives, blueray, and soon Home and Killzone 2.

true
lots of downsides though. no halo, no gears of war, plus with the ps3 you have to download all those updates before every game which i think is kinda lame. better online play too imo. BUT i dont want to get in a console war debate while the BLAZERS ARE PLAYING. lol

Shaq shouldn’t be dominating inside this much…

Man
Blazers cant run lick of a fast break. And Suns just look so smooth, and everything is so easy for them.
Why? Why? Blazers cant just do it, and not think about it and look awkward.
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
We will come out better next half
can’t come out more cold than this although our defense is doing okay minus forgetting that Grant Hill exists

Nash is great, but fast breaks are easy...

down 6
in a low scoring game with the suns is not a bad place to be. it should be a lot worse.
who is this announcer
who played against Duck in the Finals?
It’s not Lame-Beer, is it?
I HATED that guy.
Down only by five is alright.
But you can bet the Suns wont be as bad in the 2nd half. We’ve really got to step it up in the third.

worse…i have a bad feeling though this will turn into one of those games in the 2nd half where they just keep us at arm’s length and we can’t get closer than 7.
well the law of averages says
we’re due for a run of shots going in and such. course nothing about that law says it will happen in this game.
"I saw him in the face." – Sergio, when asked about how the latest Rodriguez-to-Fernandez alley-oop came to be.
suns havent won when scoring under 100 points
this score looks good for us at halftime.
if it's close at the end,
I feel us taking it. Roy is captain clutch, and his prowess in his fledgling career as a clutch player towers over anybody on the suns. Except maybe Amare.
It's iffy for next week.
But I think he’ll go. If not, Canfield played ok today. Especially when it mattered.
let's hope
for a third quarter like last night’s.
Down 5 at half after that horrible play
Isn’t bad.

how do you motivate the team after the half?
After the last two games, on the back-end of a back-to-back what does Nate do with the team. it doesn’t seem right to reem them out, yet you got to get them moving.
Logically tell them what they're doing wrong at halftime
Treat ’em like professionals and see how they respond.

We were due for a bad game
This will help everyone (us and the team) understand the Blazers current level better.
Blazers have shot 25 3-pointers already
Shows you the team is basically still a jump shooting team. The Suns defense is asking for players to drive and finish, but the Blazers don’t have anybody except Roy willing to challenge.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
we can still win this
however we are going to need pryz and steve blake back, veteran players to beat a veteran teams atm unfortunately

Still no takers for a mid-season trade?
This team will grow by itself as it stands, but the top teams are still out of reach
I don't think the back to back had much to do with the Blazers loss
Nash/Shaq combo is too much for the Blazers. They are just a better match up against the Blazers.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
I would like to see
more nic, and rudy driving or shooting off the dribble since he can’t hit a shot.

yep
I thought we had something going. But not against teams that have some interior presence I guess.

It was close into the 3rd Q. Home teams win in the NBA, and Phoenix was hot. Still, somebody has to solve Shaq at some point, at least on the offensive end.
"Sergio is clearly the MJ of 3rd string point guards!" —Mortimer Pritchard
Suns shot 53% tonight
Phoenix was extremely hot.
But it was a dry heat.
seriously
the days of Grant Hill and Steve Nash and Shaq are limited though.

Yeah. This is similar to GSW hitting tons of three's and FT's
Some of the threes are bad defense. But the rest is just running into a really hot team.
Just ask Chicago and Sacramento.
He's a rookie who didn't even get an offseason
He’s bound to have off games, and he’s also probably going to hit a big wall this season.
definitely
I just think he got a little overhyped, that’s all.
I mean, he’s great, and long term I’m ecstatic. But he’s not going to always look great this year. I don’t know why people already think he’s perfect and love him so much.

For long term, you have immense reason to be ecstatic
When Rudy adjust to the NBA (ie. style of play, long season, travel), he could be a monster.
I'm beginning to think Shaq has made Joel his barometer
“When I’m not longer better than THAT guy, I’m going to retire”
He plays at a very different level against Joel than almost anyone else.
yeah, Joel is a like a mental thing for Shaq
He completely dominated Joel and Oden a little tonight. I hope Oden can bounce back on Monday.

There's a pretty hilarious quote in the Sunday Oregonian by Shaq, post-game:
“…I’m the shogun. And before you go through the shogun, you have to go through a bunch of ninjas. So you know, [Oden] has to go through Dwight Howard, Yao Ming… and by that time, I will be out of here.”
"Sergio is clearly the MJ of 3rd string point guards!" —Mortimer Pritchard
Shaq also said that the only potential "next Shaq" on the horizon is his youngest son, if he decides to play...
"Sergio is clearly the MJ of 3rd string point guards!" —Mortimer Pritchard
Never ever thought we had a chance in this one
From the opening bell you could tell this wasn’t going to be our night. Only Roy and Blake really came to play. A couple of others had moments but very small ones.
It was interesting to see Shaq and Oden match up. What amazed me is how much bigger Shaq is. I mean he is really a lot bigger. After seeing Oden look so much bigger than everyone I thought the size differential would be so much less than it actually was.
I was hoping for better, just because I thought this was an opportunity for the Blazers to show themselves how far they have come. I expected confidence and a bit of a swagger. Only Roy had that and then Blake in the second half. Everyone else kind of shrunk. Not that I expected a win, I just expected better. Chalk it up to another learning experience.
"I saw him in the face" Sergio's quote on the latest alley-oop to Rudy.
same here
I felt like everyone shrunk like they knew they weren’t going to win. That sort of pisses me off. Roy and Blake did all they could, but the rest of the team has to step up. Aldridge put forth some effort too I guess.

Here's the good news:
That ends the insanely tough part of our schedule.
Now the guys get to go home, sleep in their own beds tonight and tomorrow night, then see Sacramento on their own floor. And then a night off. And then a home game. And then a night off. And then a home game.
We came out of it 8-6. That’s really much better than I expected.
There's a little bad news to be mixed in.
Not to be a downer or anything.
The team could really use a few sets of off-days to remix the offense, and get Oden settled in with the starters. It’s clear the team hasn’t meshed around Oden yet and a few good practices could help with that a lot.
Oh well, nothing like learning by fire.
If we can go 5 and 5 in the next ten games
we’ll be sitting fine for the playoff run.
I big question is what kind of move will KP make.
by Bust a Bucket on Nov 22, 2008 9:06 PM PST up reply actions
We're definitely looking in line to make a run at the playoffs
We’re ahead of our expected position right now, during a tough stretch.

It's time for Oden to stop playing scared to get injured. I notice he isn't jumping for blocks for fear
of coming down wrong and getting hurt. He also needs to start playing better and stop being scared. The fouling is getting out of hand. No excuses anymore, he needs to start.
Oden needs to start and be thrown into the mix so he can start learning. 15 minutes a game is just no going to do that. I don’t care how good Joel is doing. Oden needs the practice.
doesn't really matter if Oden starts or not
I agree he needs the PT, and Nate will give it to him, but he has to earn it. His D hasn’t been dominant like we hoped. He’ll get there.
Boomshakalaka
Are you ready to then sacrifice some wins?
Wouldn’t you rather he learn to dominate against the second tier, can some confidence and then come out and tackle the big boys? Right now he even struggles some against the second units of some teams.

I'm honestly ok if we lose a few we might have won now
Only to come back with a better long term team as a result.
Then that's fair
I just worry that if we lose and Oden doesn’t play well then we have a bunch of upset fans and Greg getting down on himself.

by blazermaniac32 on Nov 22, 2008 9:07 PM PST up reply actions
That'll happen to some extent
But there’s two keys there:
1. Fans keeping perspective. That’s a tough one, there’s a reason they’re called fans.
2. Oden keeping a long term growth view. I think Brandon, Nate and the rest are helping him with that.
Oden will get PLENTY of playing time to hone his game in his rookie year. It's Rex I worry about.
"Sergio is clearly the MJ of 3rd string point guards!" —Mortimer Pritchard
If Bayless can't handle a first-season rookie's-lack-of-gameplay...
… then I’m also worried about him.
I have a feeling he’ll get a breakout later this season. I’m not worried about him as long as his head, ago, and attitude are all in check.
yes
I can’t wait for Martell to get back and KP to get the trade train heading down the tracks.
by Bust a Bucket on Nov 22, 2008 9:00 PM PST up reply actions
You can't baby Oden anymore. He needs to be thrown into the fire. I've seen him stay on the ground
several times instead of changing shots or attempting the block. Isn’t that what he is in there for??? To change shots. If he is just going to go in and stand around and foul, we got Channing Frye for that.

He’s not doing on defense what he’s supposed to do.
Even the last two games before tonight I was more impressed with his offense and passing than his defense.
It’s time for Oden to step up to the plate defensively.
by Bust a Bucket on Nov 22, 2008 9:04 PM PST up reply actions
I'm not worried too much about Oden after 6 games
I’d be much more worried after 106 games.
I’m ok being patient. He’s a rookie. Some of the best centers only showed flashes of brilliance during their rookie seasons.
Hey, I'm patient with Oden. I would just like to see the effort out there.

He can't. He doesn't have the stamina for that yet.
Nor the confidence.

by blazermaniac32 on Nov 22, 2008 9:08 PM PST up reply actions
I put the stamina thing on him
He could have been in a lot better shape coming into training camp.
He decided to let the games get him into shape. Jerry Rice never did that. Jordan never did that.
by Bust a Bucket on Nov 22, 2008 9:11 PM PST up reply actions
If he didn't have the stamina then he wouldn't have had a couple 4 BLK games and some double doubles. I think
his confidence will grow the more minutes he gets. Which is why he needs to start. Coming off the bench, then looking terrible with the second unit is not helping his confidence. The whole point of him coming off the bench had a little to do with confidence, and more with easing him back in.
by BRoyInThe4th on Nov 22, 2008 9:12 PM PST up reply actions
He is coming off of major knee surgery!
No way he would ever ever be in basketball shape. You can only get that by playing full court banging against fellas his size. That hasn’t happened a lot. Jerry Rice nor Jordan ever had the surgery he did.

There are still limits to getting into game shape though
He was barred from playing organized ball, and you can only get in game shape by playing organized ball.
And don’t forget he missed part of training game when he rolled his ankle, setting him back further.
If he stays healthy, his cardio will improve game by game.
I hope so. I understand the up and downs of a rookie. I don't understand the effort being there one night
and not the next. Oden should have had the energy in this back to back because he only played like 10 minutes last night.
by BRoyInThe4th on Nov 22, 2008 9:22 PM PST up reply actions
Agreed across the board
I’m very much in the “he’s fine, give him time, move him into the starting lineup in the near future” camp.
He'll come around
He’s really looking promising early on, even though he doesn’t have “it” every game right now.
Yeah, I guess he needs to get in better shape. He needs to contest shots more. I don't care if he doesn't score a point
or gets his shot blocked 10 times. He needs to challenge every shot in the pain and not just foul. That is effort, that is going to make the difference between winning and losing.

Damn - you guys can fill up a game thread....
For whatever it’s worth – I thought the Blzrs played much better then the game a few weeks ago and just missed a lot of open shots.
It was a hard fought game and closer then the score indicated

Good game
We’ve got no animosity toward you guys either. :) You guys fought hard (even through mistakes) and made big shots. Well played tonight.
bwahahaha
Sure I don’t like shaq… but PHX earned this game tonight. They took it from us. I can get over that. :)

You guys kinda feel like a team who just wants to make it through the first round
Nothing personal. Feels like you’ve got an good team that’s just missing something to put them over the top.
Nash looks like he’s really having to adjust to TP’s offensive sets.
Hope is that
by spring the system will have set in and look much better.
If healthy, the players are there. No moves needed.
Time is what this team needs. And patience.
If they weren’t so old, I would be very hopeful about next year.
As is, I think we have a not outrageous chance to get to the WCF if we don’t have to play NO or LA in the early rounds.

I'm surprised you're so scared of NO
I really think last year was a flash in the pan and they haven’t really improved this year. We almost beat them at their place and Sacramento did a few days ago. NO just doesn’t do it for me as a real contender.

If Shaq played this good every night the Suns would make a deep playoff run. The thing is Shaq needs to
pace himself. He might burn out if he played this hard all season.
Well good night guys. Be back here on monday. Kind of discouraging loss. We need to beat
Phoenix to get over that mental hurdle.
geez
The boxscore from tonight’s game looks like a turd. Reminds me of that scene in The Catcher in the Rye where Holden Caulfield is visiting his teacher at the teacher’s house. The teacher is sick with the grippe (whatever that is). He picks his nose and tries to pretend that he’s only scratching it, but Holden notes that he was really getting the old thumb up in there. Anyway, the teacher picks up Holden’s term paper and then drops it like it’s a turd. That’s what I felt like doing when I saw the Blazers’ boxscore tonight. Just plain ugly and stinky.
We cannot put up with this flagrant lack of accountability anymore.
