hello
"You're really making me feel good about myself, little man," says Oden as he starts dancing after scoring a goal. "You better come harder than that."
i would say 2-3 should be the average expectation. anything more should be fantastic
"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."
correction!
best case: 5-0.
worst case: 0-5.
someone had to do it right?

you forgot Sheed insists
bofe teams play hard
It's too late to agree with me, I've already changed my mind.
don't you mean
5-0??? That would be the best case. Perhaps you think they will lose one, but the best case is still 5-0 regardless. Just sayin…
I’d be happy with 4-1 though.

im taking best case worst case
in my honest opinion of what could actually happen. but yes you are right 5-0 would be ideal haha.

If Portland can go 3-2 over the next 5, it’d be 14-8. That would be sweet.
Magic at home, then Utah in Utah and the Clipps here. We’re looking at 16 and 9. Whoa, I gotta slow down. I’m getting ahead of myself.
“One game at a time, one game at a time, one game at a time…” I keep repeating.
one game at a time
thinking ahead beyond the next opponent hints of a sort of arrogance this team cannot afford. BIG +1 to to ParkinglotJ for the common sentiment
It's too late to agree with me, I've already changed my mind.
I don't reckon that fans thinking ahead adversely affects on-court performance...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
.............. I'm guessing 3-2 on this trip, because the Blazers are clicking just now. 2-3 seems to be the most common view though.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
2-3 wouldn't be horrible considering the type of talent we will be facing and playing in a time zone that is 3 hours ahead

agreed
while I’d love to see us go 4-1 or 5-0 on this trip, I could live with as bad as a 2-3 record on this trip. There’s no way we shouldn’t beat the Knicks and Wizards, as long as we play our game. Both the Raptors and Pistons are going to be interesting matchups, and I figure we split those two games. As far as the Celtics go, I just have a feeling they’re going to be a little too much for us to handle at this point. My “official prediction” (which, by the way, carries about as much weight as Nicole Richie) is 3-2…but I’m hoping for 5-0!
"Smile! You're on a poster!!" - Mike Rice
against detroit
we need a few positives to occur, namely:
- oden/pryz need to establish themselves early, and wear down rasheed where possible, players like maxiell and amir johnson are kinda like energy players, who can make a difference when they sub kwame/rasheed. channing needs to hit the boards, and not worry about shots tonite.
- rudy may get extended minutes tonite, as he moves off the ball extremely well and opponents know he is a excellent shooter. chasing rudy may keep prince or hamilton busy
- i feel batum will be chasing rip hamilton around, however he has a reach and quickness advantage, if he plays screens well he can contain rip to some degree
- iverson is a ? mark in defense for anyone, he can burn practically anyone on his day, however i see him more as a dwade, let him score his 20 and force other players to beat you
- rasheed wallace is another player who can also burn almost anyone when he wants to, however i think if LMA uses his feet well and doesnt concede ground in the post, rasheed will have one of those 1-6 3PTA games. need to keep rasheed off the offensive glass where possible too
- oden should have a clear advantage over kwame brown, as he is quicker/stronger/ and bigger than kwame. all he has to do is establish himself in the post and pass out of there when hes doubled and we can burn the pistons since we normally are unselfish and make extra passes for better % uncontested shots. see: 2nd half against hornets
- sergios defense against chris paul was excellent, but against a slightly bigger guard like stuckey, he may have to alter his defense. he will need to keep stuckey in front of him, and watch for stuckeys first step as it is quite good, however stuckey likes to drive right, so if the help is good then there should be good results there.
- turnovers against the pistons need to be minimal as they play at a slow pace too
my tip: im going to out on a limb here and tip the blazers by 4
I just wanna see
Rudy and RIP literally chase each other around in circles for 30 minutes. Thats entertainment.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
Your Amir/Maxiel point is a big one
literally…those guys energized plus Rasheed showing up and Kwame thinking he has something to prove can spell trouble
Our bigs need to play hard…not really a game for Trav in the 4..need Channing to be a real 4 and LMA to “play large” as well
your oden/kwame point made me think of something
can anyone tell me why exactly kwame brown sucks so bad? I mean, the guy is built like an pro, I get that he may be a few bricks short of a full load but there are plenty of nba guys like that who are freaking all stars. isn’t he used to the nba speed by now? he couldn’t still be intimidated could he? its really amazing how bad he sucks considering the type of player he was projected to be.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
He has small bad hands
Joel still can’t catch anything that comes at him when he is in motion or it’s below the waist (e.g. Rudy’s fancy passes). Kwame can’t catch anything period. He also makes the occasional mental lapse, like airballing a free throw.
That being said, I wouldn’t label him a complete bust. He is good for five to ten points and five rebounds every game. There have been guys far worse than him. At his current price, he is not overpaid by a lot (which he was in Washington, LA and briefly Memphis). He was just taken waaaaaayyy too high by the Wizards as a very young player straight out of high school. Ahead of Pau Gasol and Tyson Chandler. Ouch. Playing in college would have provided him with some fundamental skills that he still lacks.
I don't think anyone expected Tyson Chandler to be this good
I’m still not sure he would be, without Chris Paul.
Makes you wonder if Paul could do anything for Kwame though.
Passing on Gasol (who was already showing lots of promise) was the bigger mistake IMO.
see
now why hasn’t he learned those fundamental skills? he’s been in this league for quite a while now under quite a few coaches. why would anyone assume that kwame brown actually knows what he’s doing.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
I mean
whats the difference between kwame and przybilla? a lot obviously but why? its hard to quantify
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
Reactions, drive, speed
I don’t think most people remember Joel before he was a Blazer, but George Karl made him sorta’ a tub, a fatty. He wanted Joel to gain weight to be more of a bruizer, and it resulted in the Joel we know and love being constantly hurt, slow, and extremely ineffective.
Before Nash signed Joel, he was almost out of the league a few short years after being drafted #9.
He had lost the weight, and focused on all the stuff he does well (which being skinnier allowed him to be— pretty mobile for a white 7’1" dude, good timing and reactions to block shots, a nose for the ball when rebounding, and tough interior defense). The Joel we got his first year seemed totally different from the capital “B” Bust he was for the Bucks.
Now, I’m not sure what got Kwame drafted so high (I wasn’t following the NBA as closely then), but I’d imagine he dominated HS kids with his big body and it covered up a lot of flaws— and that draft was purty weak to begin with (in hindsight of course there are a few good to great players, but none so obvious then). HS kids were the thing I guess, I dunno…
But in the NBA, his size was great but his athleticism was relatively meager. And it became clear that his small hands prevented him from ever using his great size to rebound or receive passes.
Joel doesn’t have good hands, but he has good enough reactions and instincts to rebound very well… and you don’t need good hands to block shots or play defense. Kwame doesn’t have those reactions or instincts or even the relative mobility that Joel has to compensate, or to use his size.
Kwame isn’t the biggest bust ever, just the most notorious. He isn’t a bad role player, and if he was taken late 1st round or 2nd round no one would joke about him. Being a living joke would weigh heavily on ANYONE of course, and I’d be shocked if that weight didn’t hamper his career sumthin’ fierce.
He is only a big body, without the other intangibles to use it. Joel has severe limitations, but his reactions and instincts allow him to use that big body for SUCCESS. Better instincts, less expectations (at least as a Blazer), willingness to change his body and game to find his niche.

All off the top
And prolly filled with basic inaccuracies if the families of Joel or Kwame are reading, but basically true (as per my memory).
MR. Ortimer
I've got a friend with Bucks season tix and HE certainly remembers Pryz...
…………………………….. I never realized he was such a high draft choice, that explains a lot of the antipathy.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
The Rockets technically drafted Joel
But I’m not sure if that was a draft day trade to the Bucks or what… like Foye for Roy or whatever.
I dunno all the variables that went into the signing of Joel for the Blazers, but it’s prolly John Nash’s best move as a GM during his Portland tenure.
The first game I watched Joel for us, he looked totally different. The way he moved was a million times better than his Bucks’ days (not that I watch every Bucks game, but I distinctly remember him as being the prototypical white slow 7 foot stiff taken way too high in the draft).
Getting the Joel we got then was a steal of a deal, and getting him now for MLE level money is still a steal of a deal. 7 footers be expensive, yo! He cheap as chips.
It was a draft day trade for Jason Collier
Who sadly died from a heart condition during his short and fairly unimpressive NBA career (Rockets, Hawks). So Bucks fans shouldn’t be too angry about what they got from Joel.

I'm thinking the real value of this trip is to continue the learning curve
These guys know they can beat some good teams but in adverse conditions on the road they need to learn to bring it every night. If they come out of the trip against Boston and Detroit and even Toronto with the confidence that they can play with the elite then the won-loss record may not be the most important thing.
That said I think they can win three.

winning despite of oden.
I love Greg Oden. I’m your over zealous Oden fanboy/Blazer Homer, but i really feel like a lot of our wins are despite of greg oden. I feel like we need to get Oden 15-25min a game to get him experience but that our best chance to win is with Priz or LA at the 5 currently.
I know Oden is our future but does anyone else feel like putting him out there hurts the team and is just putting him out there because he needs minutes? I really felt this way when priz was in late against the hornets and oden didnt really factor in.
Oden was effective drawing fouls and getting the hornets into foul trouble early in the 3rd where we exploded in FT attempts. i just felt like he is a huge liability in the 4th when we cant afford to turn the ball over.
please tell me im being irrational.
you are being irrational

No, your absolutley right
This would be so much easier if Pryzbilla was playing horribly. Just our luck.
by neutroticblazerfan on Nov 30, 2008 3:36 AM PST up reply actions
I think you're being irrational
It is a fact that oden is not playing great, but he’s rebounding well and defending the post pretty well imo.
Oden is cutting into some Frye playing time too and he’s already way better than Frye.
Another factor is that he allows Przybilla to play less worried about fouls.
So , overall I think his effect is positive, but way less than we hope it will be in the future.
He will only develop by being on the floor
which will include rookie mistakes…o well…we may lose games over it…o well..we might miss the plyoffs due to rookie development (NOT) but we could and it would still be an acceptable part of the preocess

Ike and Shavlik
I would throw are entire pf combo’s on Sheed rotate them in every 4-5 minutes and make Sheed work. Like another poster said if He’s into the game it wont matter who we put on him but if he wants to take a sunday off he will become a non-factor early in the game.
This is going to be a long day for Roy and Nic/Outlaw, My key to the win is Rudi regaining his shooting/slashing/motor always running game.
That WOULD be proactive thinking...I mean if Bayless
is just gonna sit there in a uniform…(95% probability), why not let Shav and Ike absorb some of Detroit’s bigness and keep everyone fresh…send Ike out to piss Sheed off…someone else to absorb the brute force that is Maxiel
My Key to a Win
Is to not let Mr, Dribble Dribble shoot. dribble dribble shoot and let Batum chakalaka play 30 minutes
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
I'd much rather Nate made that call during the game
Sometimes Batum isn’t playing well, and Outlaw will sometimes be very active (and for lack of a better term, lucid) during a game and is a big asset.
hey thats not fair
sometimes its just dribble shoot. dribble shoot. shoot. shoot. dribble.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
*Nods Head*
although sometimes i feel that nate is not making the best in game decision because of his pre concieved notion of batum being a crappy rookie. The last 2 games are a fine example look at minutes played and stats per 48 on batum vs outlaw, Insane difference
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
Yeah, there's a thread dedicated to Nate right now...
Where I’ve been discussing my belief that he’s not a great game-time tactician (among other things). So no argument there.
The good news is that his substitution patterns have improved.
Heck, it took 82+ games for Nate to figure out Joel was an asset in crunch time. Hopefully he’ll get there faster with Batum.
my view is that
maurice cheeks was so amazingly bad that nate STILL seems amazing to me. no matter what happens nate is still on a honey moon with me until cheeks gets fired in philly.

I am angry at Mo but will abstain from direct bashing of him
because of an earlier “class” posting ;-)
I think that came off like a backhanded compliment toward Nate
I actually do believe he’s a good coach. I think he needs better assistants, but he’s a good head.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
Quick asked Nate about that point blank last year.
Nate responded that he had to make a choice between winning (with Pryz) and development (with Frye). So Nate was well aware of the value of Pryz in late game situations.
First, good catch. I missed that.
Doesn’t change my questioning of the decision (Frye ain’t a center), but it’s good to be aware of.
Roster instability
I get the feeling that at the time they were more heavily considering the idea of trading for a PG or SF, and that Pryz was going to be a part of that deal due to his value as a backup C, and potentially the makeup of his contract. So Nate may have been hedging his bets in case Frye was Oden’s only backup (or possibly that Oden might not come back?). At very least he wanted to make sure that Frye was used to those situations. Frye did a great job in the early season at the C position, and I remember it being said when he was drafted that he was expected to play PF and C, but they didn’t want him putting on too much muscle so he could continue to be a finesse player. I think they were expecting a bigger contribution out of Frye back then too, since he was the most tangible return from Zach’s trade (KP was quoted as saying they only needed him to average 10 points or more for him to be worth it, as opposed to Zach’s 20-10).
Most of this is just speculation on my part, but there was a reason they felt the need to groom Frye for late game center antics, and I’m just trying to put the pieces together.
Nope, this was right the first time...
Heck, it took 82+ games for Nate to figure out Joel was an asset in crunch time. Hopefully he’ll get there faster with Batum.
Nate was offensively-fixated until mid-way last season. He hoped Frye would give him 4th Q scoring punch at the Center position, which makes the assumption that Frye can play the Center position…
Fortunately, those are the bad old days.

Batum is the reason
why I’m not upset when I see ridiculous trade rumors involving travis. not saying I want to trade him for another project point guard (project point guard sounds like a tv show. can’t mr. allen create some sort of “reality tv” show with a bunch of young nba guards trapped on an island and competing for playing time?). seriously though, I like travis, just sayin that batum would help me get over it like buying a new puppy. a way more efficient puppy.
If you're thinking about posting your totally awesome trade idea here. DON'T.
Yeah....no trades
That aren’t about clearing cap space…we don’t need new personalities here disrupting the flow that is developing..no new personalities, agendas, nothing new to learn….hard enough these guys learning each other….
It's a fine line
If we end up having problems with these players later (minutes crunch, etc), this may be the chance to nip it in the bud, and get a good player back.. do it now. Because by the time the problems manifest itself, it may be way too late to fix it as gracefully as you could now.
I’m also weary of messing with success though.
New "star" showing up
would potentially create all kindsa probs of who is getting paid what, who is stealing who’s minutes…it would impede growth, it would damage confidence, ….and it isn’t needed
guys are beginning to slash to the rim…we got 10 guys who can shoot…more maybe :-) …rudy has been slashing a little, travis can do it, sergio gets into the lane….roy ..what can you say about his left hand…and bayless will slash to the basket someday..
The “dream” point guard…there are only a few and very very few started out that way..do we need someone to put up on that stage and make our guys change what they are doing to create a format for …say a wade or AI or Nash ( well maybe nash :-) ) …but chemistry is key — team play and our 14 deep roster…it is a LONG season…many young legs will pay dividends.

My aunt & uncle live next door and one of their kids from duckville was home for the holiday and they don't get Versus on the dish...
……………………………. Much beer was consumed and obscenities screamed both ways. It was good fun. But I had to work through the first half and when I saw that the Beavs gave up 252 yards RUSHING in the first half, it was never really a game in doubt when I was watching it.
I ordinarily would have spent my evening watching USC put a good old-fashioned stompdown on Notre Dame, which is a far more entertaining thing to watch from my perspective.
If there’s a god, the Beavs will get another matchup with Notre Dame in some hokey pokey bowl. They can KILL that team, and that’s ALWAYS fun.

LMA is young Sheed?
"Curry speaks glowingly of Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, a third-year pro averaging 15.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.
And Rasheed Wallace is a fan as well, because Aldridge reminds the Pistons of, well, a young Rasheed.
"I told Rasheed today, ‘We got the young ‘Sheed vs. the old ‘Sheed,’ " Curry said. "Rasheed really likes that kid. He thinks he has great footwork and plays both ends of the court.
"When young guys have the total package, you just can tell."
I wish LMA didn't see himself as The New Sheed... I'd rather have The New Kevin McHale...

And the version that (please) doesn’t shoot 3’s.
Shooting 3s is what Hashweed is all about. I'm gonna go look that up...

I really like Stuckey
If there is one guy I would approve of acquiring in a trade in order to resolve our PG issues, it would be him. He is a guy who can score but I honestly he is also more of a “true” PG than Bayless and he has alot of leadership characteristics. I think of him as an Upgraded Jarret Jack (whom I loved). If only he weren’t the annointed one it Detwah maybe he would be “affordable”.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
i doubt it though
they wouldnt trade stuckey since they just moved billups so stuckey could be their long term pg
LOL
Im not Big on Bayless at all. I think Blakey is on the same lvl as stuckey so i cant see them making a trade unless they want to take bayless and sergio although sergio is starting to show me the light. Im all for going for MIKE BIBBY though. Package outlaw, bayless, and RLEC and get bibby and some garbage we dont have to sign . A 3 for 1 trade to resolve playing time issues and a great strating point gaurd with a very capable backup in sergio or blake. they can fight over it

No way
If we want Bibby, get him in the summer as a free agent without giving up any talent.
The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.
The only problem is
Is that Mike Bibby is a really bad basketball player who shoots his team out of games and plays no defense. A ballhog at the end of his career, who even is his prime wouldn’t be a good fit because of his one sided play (though he wasn’t always such a ballhog).
Other than that, he’s a great fit.
BUT
we cant just keep adding players we have to give up talent in a 3 v 1 trade so we dont have anomosity* in the locker room over minutes. Bayless IF he continues to improve will want minutes. FRYE is shooting lights out hes going to want more. Rudy needs more . BATUM riding the bench i dont think so . WE NEed to get rid of a pg or 2 and a SF preferebly outlaw for a STRONG PG

Disagree.
Many are suggesting we need to “clear the logjams” at certain positions. Why? Why would we weaken our team at all right now just for the sake of keeping players happy? Competition is great for young teams like ours. Players don’t ever feel like their minutes are guaranteed, so they keep working hard in practice and in games.
We don’t need a superstar PG to win a championship (Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, etc.). So why get rid of uality pieces right now for something we don’t necessarily need?

The players we want want championships more than personal numbers.

Every team in the NBA carries 12 suited players ('cept sometimes the Knicks, ha ha)...
…………………………. there are squabbles over minutes every year on every team. It’s part of life. There’s no sense in having 9 strong players and 3 McBobs instead of having 12 strong players, assuming a choice between the two…
In addition, from the purely selfish perspective of team ownership, having two backups for every position helps keeps salaries down.

I look at Batum and Rex through the same prism...
……………………… They’re rookies, their time is coming, there are no big problems with them playing or not playing this year.
Love them homonyms.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Batum will get his minutes though...
……………………….. The guy can DEFEND and the guy can RUN THE BREAK (and finish), which are double-plus good assets to bring to this particular team.
Frye is the guy that I see getting squeezed out of the rotation when Marty comes back.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
............... and will play 20 or so minutes instead of anything like 30, I'm guessing.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
I think Frye gets moved at the deadline with RLEC for something or other.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
This is my best guess as well.
Unless Outlaw can bring us something better in return. I love both of them though, so it’ll be a shame, but I think one of them is gone.
ROY
Did not sit down his first year and neither did our rookies oden and rudy. Why should batum he is playing exceptional basketball for a 2 or 3rd year player and would get plenty of minutes on almost any other team with any other coach

Anyone else have DirecTV League Pass?
I need to DVR the blasted game, and last night the game wasn’t listed at all, and this morning it says PORTLAND AT PACERS at 12pm our time, instead of PORTLAND AT PISTONS.
Plus, the recording will end at 2:30pm our time, which is usually not enough time for the recording.
Anyone else getting the game mis-listed on their guide? I set the game to record like normal, but I’m a’feared that the end will be cut off (and I can’t record the “show” on after the set time for the game, as it is a “coming up” thingy, if ya know what I means).

It don't let me
If it was on a ‘normal’ channel (like ESPN or TNT) I could record whatever comes after the game, but since it’s on a League Pass channel (channel 751 for DirecTV peoples), the ‘show’ after it is “UPCOMING: Wolves versus whoever”, and until that game starts it doesn’t allow me to record the blank “upcoming” thing.
Lame.
I hope the recording doesn’t stop.
Oh
All those channels are in 3 hours bricks for me so I just record “League Pass” for 3 hours. It’s lame but at least I got that.

Comcast had Portland @ Detroit
But mine always show as ending after 2.5 hours, so 2:30 is normal on my side. I usually set for 30 minutes extra at the end. Today is set for 1h extra since I know I’ll be gone…
How DirecTV usually works
Is that a HUGE block of time is set for the games… like it should start at Noon, and the recording should go till 8pm or so.
And then ya gotta record the whole block (which is annoying, but at least ya don’t miss any of the game normally).
So for me, to have only the 2.5hr block is disconcerting, and that it won’t let me record whatever comes after it bums me out.
Now I know how the families of murder victims feel :-(
Anyone got an internet feed on this one?
Ha just kidding. For real, I think I like the NBA League Pass music. I don’t know why.
I like it better last year.
I spend an embarrassing amount of time on the Internet after games with the league pass music on b/c I’m too lazy to turn it off.
There's something about a plastic meat grinder that rubs me the wrong way.

Interesting game
Because Portland especially needs Greg’s inside presence. I have a feeling we’re going to be inconsistent from the perimeter this afternoon due to Detroit’s above-average perimeter D, so picking up points in the paint will be important.
depends how detroit
defends oden and whether kwame can stop oden.
we all know oden cant really be stopped, so if oden can just score twice in a good scoring position, the pistons will double oden and give one of our shooters a decent look. if the perimeter shots start falling then LMA can get to work.
so many x factors in this game, i still think the blazers will win though
wish we had the mikes

Turns out Oden isn't Kwame Brown.
"I saw him in the face." – Sergio, when asked about how the latest Rodriguez-to-Fernandez alley-oop came to be.
I hate not having TV to see this.
Stupid east coast.
Bringin' Rip City back.
"Rudy is not everyday a shooter. He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."
here is a link

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.
can't, working on stuff for exams.

Pryz in for Oden. EIGHT rebounds. Terrific. A couple rebounding breakdowns in the quarter, but they weren't really on him.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Yeah great 1st quarter for him
2pts, 8rbs, 1 block
His rebounding has allowed the Blazers to leak out A LOT MORE
The Classical
You won't find anything more ridiculous, than this new profile
razor unit, made with the highest British attention to the
wrong detail, become obsolete units surrounded by hail.
THE CLASSICAL!
WORD UP. STAY. FRESCO.
i'm in the student lounge at school
and having to be all polite and quiet while people study. not easy.
GO BLAZIES!
michelle you look good tonight.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBAAAAAAAAAAL!
During a Blazer game? Thats harsh

I don't know
if Oden “has arrived” or is “living up to the hype” but I do know that I’m glad he’s on our team and not the other team.
Yeah did you catch Mike
when he said that Rasheed only had 10 dbl dbls last year? Oden has had four already off hit rookie/injury season
