we're 9th in points per possession

Its been bad tonight- but our offense has been solid for the most part this year.
defense… not so much.

bad halves happen.
I’m confident we can win this game.

LMA is pretty scrawny. The commentariat always talks about how "buff" he is, but I don't see it.
Part of it is that he doesn’t play low/tough so that probably colors my view of him a bit though.
"I’m glad Sergio played well in pre-season, but he should be getting killed for whining. He ain’t that important to the country of Spain, let alone the Trail Blazers." --Mortimer Pritchard
LMA is never going to have a body like Jefferson's
That’s just a fact. He will always be more of an outside player.
It’s true, though, that he does need to get stronger around the basket and take physical play better.

Yup, much much better.
If they do this well in the 4th, it’ll be an easy win :)
Outlaw lucky off reb but Still a reb

"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."
That was a botched R by Sergio that last sequence, but you can't hold the guards accountable for that stuff. LMA is bad and Frye is a catastrophe.

Put in Greg to just stand under the basket with his arms up :)
Or risk Joel fouls out. Whatever. We need inside D!
this is a matchup where we really do need Joel
If this game ends with Joel on the bench and with fewer than 6 fouls, I’ll question Nate’s judgment.
Boomshakalaka
Sergio has gotten plenty of opportunities. He just doesn't fit with the Blazers style of play.
I would rather see Bayless getting Sergio’s shots.
It seems, everytime he creates his own good opportunities, he follows it up with equally bad botched plays
Founder of the "Crash Batumcoot" Movement.
Sergio is doing more than his share this game...
He fits perfectly with our 2nd unit, and the defense will improve on that unit when they get Joel back from the 1st unit.
I agree. Sergios doing good
Cmon you guys. We don’t need Bayless right now. Who needs another scorer when you already have Roy, Fernandez, Outlaw, and Aldridge.

Dear Mark Madsen
Do us a favor and stop stepping in the lane and grabbing the ball in between free throw shots and obnoxiously bouncing it two times then giving it to the referee. We’d like to get the game moving along and you haven’t been relevant for many years. Thanks.

He's quickly approaching the Houston game stat wise. Impressive considering how awful he was early

Just give the ball to Rudy....Sergio is not creating off the pick and roll
Which means he’s useless on offense
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
we set awful picks on the ball

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.

Ball Movement
Late Third Quarter and Sergio and Rudy are in. The ball is moving, and Lamarcus is scoring. Brandon returns, dishes out a couple of assists, and he is ready to hit the Big Shot because the Wolves have had to guard everyone. This win was much better, IMHO, than the one the other night, because the ball was MOVING! This will be the key to wins or losses.

Hey
dont talk about moms cuz if you cant get sarcasm someone might think that your mom deoped you when you were liitle
Yes
I didnt say it but I saw it too in the Houston game. He took too many jumpers That Outlaw gets killed for
Should we buy out Roy?
He’s obviously a cancer/s…I just learned that!
what?
do you mean “go that way”
And if that is indeed what you meant sir, the answer to your question would be…no. The little /s according to southern oregon means…sarcasm. I just learned that tonight.
Ok i got your sarcasm
but if Outlaw shoots those jumper everyone wants to rip his head of, but if Roy does it then who ever see that should not say it. Or what? Just saw Roy a little selfish and thats all.
I understand your point of view...
but there is a huge difference between Roy and Outlaw…look at the assist numbers for one. That being said, I don’t think Outlaw is a selfish player. He’s just having a tough time finding his role on the team now with all the new players.
See that is what I mean.
You just proved my point for me in my earlier post.
I am done with you. Good night.
ha ha ha
cant take what you dish? That was Sarcasm and you got pissed? Just that Roy is a star does not mean he make misstakes
By the way I find it admirable
that you not only defends the mothers of this world, but also Travis Outlaw.
Great game!
Not near the energy in the joint as Thurs. It seemed the like the fans expected a win, and were having a hard time seeing us struggle to pull it off.
Dave's prediction when the schedule came out
I’d say we need to find 12 or so wins before 2009 to be comfortable.
Dave has us pecked to win 12 games by January 2009. How are we doing so far?
Founder of the "Crash Batumcoot" Movement.
And another
First and foremost, those first 2-3 weeks are brutal to the extreme. Even with a healthy Roy in the lineup we probably wouldn’t expect to win more than 5 of those 11 tops.
First 11 games, Dave has put Portland to win no more than 5 games.
Founder of the "Crash Batumcoot" Movement.
Sorry, but Dave is part of the problem
We don’t need people continuing to lower expectations for this team.
Eh?
Lowering expectations? He provided a realistic outlook by taking all things into consideration at the time: No Martell, brutal, and I mean brutal schedule, a rookie center, and a bunch of new rookies coming off the bench. It’s not “lowering expectations”, it’s being objective as he possibly can.
If you expected anything more than 3-3 at this point, then you have way too high of expectations.
Founder of the "Crash Batumcoot" Movement.
You don't think we should have won the Utah game?
I think you could argue that the team has played below expectations even after factoring in the injuries. Look at each game:
@LA: Horrible performance
SA: Best overall performance
@PH:Starters played a horrible game, definitely could have been won
@UT: Absolutely should have won.
HO: Unexpected win
MN: Played down to their competition
My point is that people keep making excuses about them being young and having a really tough schedule, and what good does that do? They are clearly talented enough to have won at least one more game, and possibly two. They beat Utah 3 of 4 times last year, including without LMA, so why is that such an “expected” loss this year?
We won’t be a great team until we decide we are one. The future is now.
Well, if all it took was believing
I think Garnett would have about 5 championships by now. The only way the team decides it is a great team is just to play like one and it isn’t going to play like one, no matter the talent, with 3 rookies in the rotation.
The Blazers could also have easily lost all three of the game that they have won. Finley makes the shot, Roy doesn’t and Love or someone get that tip-in and we lose in OT. Great teams don’t blow 4th quarter leads. Great teams don’t play down to the Wolves. Great teams don’t leave the game up to last second shots, no matter how amazing. So, how is it possible to say that they should have won @Utah or @Phx? We all see the talent and we all want them to win as much as possible, but why should they beat playoff team on the road?
And ‘below expectations’ depends on whose expectations. Even before Martell and Oden went down my expectation was that we’d be 2-4 here at best. 1 win against the Wolves and then grabbing one win against either SA or Utah. With BOTH of those guys out I’m pumped that we are 3-3. We could be 0-6 right now. There would be TONS of questions if we were but no one would be overly surprised.
WWKPD?
Ambassador to the Miami Heat
Whew!
I invented new curse words and nearly broke my hand pounding the coffee table in the first half, but I’ll take any win, anyhow.
I hate how soft we came out. I also am still not seeing the offensive sets that they can rely on. We’ve got the LMA post-up, the B-Roy 1-on-1 top of the key (called a 1-4), and we’ve got Rudy running off screens. Only the LMA set has been relatively effective through 6 games.
The pick and roll with Roy and LMA should be our bread and butter, but it’s been totally shut down. Not sure why.
I’m also starting to wonder about minutes. Batum has been great, but what happens when Martel gets back? How do the minutes breakdown? Just curious to see what happens there.
Let’s hope for at least two wins on this road trip.

got back from the game and if there are any Shins fans out there i was sitting behind Jesse Sandoval (drummer). thought that was pretty nifty. oh yeah the game was good too. Jefferson was nearly unstoppable tonight. There was one point in the game where right after a timeout Sergio ignored a few high fives from teammates and went straight to the bench. sassy. Brandon and LaMarcus brought their A games tonight and i enjoyed it. we’re sitting at .500 after 6 games and given the circumstances i am happy. god bless.
I've made eye contact with Chris Dudley....twice.

Is Sergio losing it?
The dude went from happy go lucky kid to sullen loner. He should get some help.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
I was watching his body language
and interaction with the team,even though he had a decent game and we won he looked like he didnt care about that,he didnt get what he wants so life sucks for the wealthy young Spanish gentleman

i just got back from the game couldn't disagree more
he seemed to be interacting with the team more than usual even. and after he missed his 2nd three (with 1 sec on shot clock) and LMA got fouled on the put back and the ball almost went in, he had a big smile on his face, came up and smacked Rudy on the ass and went up laughing and said something to LMA and they were both laughing. pretty much the exact opposite of what you just said. on the radio post-game both dawson and harvey said they thought sergio looked happier and more free tonight and appeared to be getting on well with his teammates.
Free Sergio! http://www.freesergio.com
yes
after that timeout he seemed to ease up a bit, i agree.

You get a better read on that sort of thing in person
But there was one timeout when the guys on the bench were fiving the guys coming off the floor and Sergio just blew them off,thats what I was refering to,again I hope I am wrong about this
