PrintIt's time to visit Phoen...uhhh...New York and get our run on. Will the Blazers be able to control themselves or will we see Quick Shot Bob and the Chuckettes out there, leading to a Knicks victory?

Let's do it!
I’m worried NY will sneak up on us. But it sounds like Nate and Brandon will have the team ready.
NY
They seem very unpredictable. Blazers have to control the tempo or it could become a round of wheel of fortune.
goooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

That is really hideous
--jscot
Not worried..
First Roy has to get the flu and have an awesome game before the Blazers slow down.
Care less about Power Rankings than about teams feeling like they are going to lose before they meet the Blazers. Always steady solid wins in your style against the weaker team. The slower the game is the happier I am. Not just a win, but an emotionless dismantling. Teams that can do this have always frustrated D’Antoni in the playoffs.
Trouble is...
…they keep comparing the Knicks to the Warriors. Ehhh. I expect they boys will be up for this one.
this has been a message from: "The People's Alliance to give Greg Oden at least a couple of seasons."
we can beat the warriors, usually. It's the suns that we can't beat, that's why I'm worried.
Honor Rasheed Wallace
Mhmm.
Blazers > Pistons > L*kers
Who cares that they beat us. It’s the transitive property of basketball.

To be honest,
this game scares me more than any of the others. They just came off a big win, and they are speedy quick. I hope we will them to play our style. If it turns into a run and gun, this is a game that I think Sir-he-oh, and Rudy would excel in.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

I hope so.
If it turns into a pick up/Eastside Athletic club type of game, we may be in trouble.

The second unit hasn't been as strong in recent games.
I’m predicting we’ll see a breakout game for a lot of the white unit tonight. I think we’ll see a lot from the Spanish Connection this evening. The Blazers may want a slow game, but the Knicks style is conducive to getting easy fast break opportunities which they will capitalize on. At least one, maybe two or three, Sergio to Rudy alley-oops tonight. Rudy should be able to find open space to keep his 3 point streak very much alive and well.
Channing Frye will be looking to make yet another statement on his old team also, and I forsee him getting close to a double-double. Add in another 4-4 FG, 7+ rebound performance for Ghostface P, and you have bench domination. Gotta like Portland’s chances in this one.
Yes! Yes! In the face!

Hopefully...
the Blazers learned their lesson after that ugly loss to Golden State. We need to control the tempo on this one and not fall victim to D’antoni’s playground style of Ratball. I can’t wait to watch Greg and Joel violate David Lee all night in the paint.

The one in Issaquah is not nearly as good, according to my food guru Duckman. He was raised on Flying Pie, currently lives in Seattle, and has had both. Hands down, Stark St. is the way to go. And now they have a movie theater connected to it. Movie, slice, and a beer. THAT’S good living…

i am sorry that we are going to miss the big z-bo/oden match-up. i could not wait for oden to get the ball on the blocks, turn and dunk hard on zack’s head. then do it again the next time down. then again. then, greg being the nice guy that he is, would look at zack’s googily eye’s (twirling from all the balls slamming on his head), would just throw up a hook over the rim and lamarcus would slam down the lob over whatever six foot seven “power” forward was on him.

Hollinger's Pace stat
1. New York 100.9
30. Portland 88.9
“Pace Factor is the number of possessions a team uses per game.”
Just throwing that out there.
I've been considering this
I’m not sure it matters. If the game plays at a faster pace with New York firing up bad shots (players shooting from bad spots on the floor for their game, contested shots, shots where the shooter is off balance or not set up, hurried shots, altered shots, etc.) and Portland is getting easy dunks early in the shot clock – it could be fast paced and high scoring without sacrificing our offensive efficiency and without allowing New York to really come close.
So it depends on how disciplined we are. We can’t let the pace dictate the shot selection. We can’t abandon the extra pass for the better shot. We can’t have guys thinking ‘scoring fest! I’m the man!" and just throwing crap at the backboard.
other hollinger stats that stick out
Portland Offensive efficiency #2
New York Defensive efficiency #26
Portland Offensive Rebound percentage #1
New York Defensive Rebound Percentage #25
Blazers have advantage at each position
This gives them the freedom to force the game to have tempo they want it to.
I predict a blow-out! : P
hmmmkay
Knicks V Warriors
I think that it is a bit unfair to compare the Blazer team that lost to GSW to the one getting ready in MSG today. They have made such huge strides since then. I also think that McMillan and the crew understand how important this East coast swing is in terms of legitimizing this team as a true power to content with. I think that they will not have a letdown, nor will they be looking ahead to Boston and Toronto.
If Oden/Roy/LMA decide to own the low blocks, and the wings keep in the faces of the Knicks 3pt shooters, they will dominate. The Knicks have no hope with keeping up with Rip City on the boards, and with Oden/Pryz/Batum cleaning up the offensive glass, this will really stifle the Knicks fast break.
This game should be a blowout. David Lee has NO CHANCE of putting up the rebound numbers that the Knicks will need, and they have ZERO chance of stopping our offensive weapons.
I also think that even if the Knicks were loaded with talent (they aren’t), an eight-man squad, even if they are used to running, can not keep up with the talent and depth of Portlands first and second units.

I believe Nate will have this team ready as well.
He knows we have obviously struggled against small, fast, and feisty teams. The players know it too. We will see a specific game plan tonight to try to control the pace i reckon.
THAT is the key my friend.
If Portland is up for the game, we win. If they just “show up” and expect a win, it could get really ugly. Keep the bigs out of foul trouble.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
i wouldn't be too worried about the knicks
although they have an impressive offense and an ok record they loose to every good team they play, their one quality win is against utah who has been banged up all year. Otherwise their wins come against the likes of miami, washington, memphis and okc
I dunno, I hope our shooters are on tonight, we are gonna need them

This is what's up
Blake, Rodrigues, Roy. That’s what’s up. Bayless is nowhere near the level that these guys are playing at right now.

Because the only way he'll
learn the sets is by practicing with the team. It’s not a lack of talent or skill so much as a being a rookie on a team that doesn’t absolutely need him to run the offense (miami, chicago, oklahoma)

i think he could improve more
simply by playing… i don’t think he needs so much time to learn the sets
I hope I am wrong but.....
History is littered with the bodies of undersized shooting guards that are converted to pg in hopes that they are the next Oscar Robertson. I would love to see Bayless evolve into a Kevin Johnson style pg with mad penetration skills, but I remember what can’t miss prospects Damon Stoudamire, Erick Barkley, and Sebastian Telfair were….. Now if Blake or Rodriguez are moved, then I will become a true believer, because I am convinced Kevin Pritchard is the reincarnation of Nostradamus,and knows that Bayless is destined for the HOF….

He is stuck behind Sergio, Rudy, Brandon....
Some moves are gonna have to happen before there are any minutes for him. Where would you play him right now?
honor rasheed wallace
word
but he’s only been given really garbage minutes so far. Doesn’t it make sense to at least test him and see what you have?
Yeah, and they will at some point.
But let’s realize that he is 20 years old. Right now he is working on developing, and taking his lumps. Maybe the best thing in the end is for his ego to take a hit. That would inspire a lot of work by him this offseason.
There is a reason KP wanted him. I believe that. Bayless has the potential to be terrific. This year is a humbling process that we will be glad for in five years.
KP doesn’t pick players for no reason. Look at Freeland today. 20 points, 9-11 shooting, couple of assists. Sergio is developing nicely. Rudy is terrific. Lamarcus and Brandon. Jerryd will be very good… He’ll get his shot soon enough.
honor rasheed wallace
bayless is fine. nate’s handling the rotation as a meritocracy extremely well. bayless is the 11th best player on the team and he is being played accordingly. the blazers value him — i have seen JB talk to both monty and nate for extended times after practices and he talked to KP for a very extended time prior to one of the home games last week. they love his game. but they also love the 10 guys above him. if/when there’s a trade, he will be ready. until then, he wears ridiculously nice suits and goes really, really hard in practice and puts in a ton of work after hours.
hope that helps.
gotcha
do you think d-league would be an option for him just to get some playing time in the meantime?
i would not do that but i guess it could happen.
id rather have him be with the team as the worst player than be in the d league as the best player. if you want to improve his passing and defense, the d league is not the best place for that. mainly i want him around our nba coaching staff. if we had our own coaches down in the d league that might change things. but i want him learning the game from nate/monty, memorizing all of our sets, so that he’s ready to step in when called upon. his time will come.
also if there is a trade for consolidation his role could change. keep him ready.
in either case, he has nba skills right now. he should stick with the big club.

Exactly.
If he starts drawing FTs, he’ll add four or five points to his scoring average. He is athletic and has a good enough handle to get by people… just needs to work on how to get by the stronger NBA defenders.

He needs to hit one three each game to keep his streak going
He already has the rookie record. Something like 28 is the record for most games in a row with a made 3.

Tone's report on Marbury
From Mike D’Antoni’s mouth; Marbury turned down the starting PG spot and a 30 minute of PT a game.
"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."
Wow.
How could a guy not want to play in that offense? No defense required. Marbury would put up 30 points and 8 assists easily. If a lower level free agent pickup like Duhon puts up good numbers, Marbury definitely could.
honor rasheed wallace
He was mad that D'Antoni put Gallinari in ahead of him in the opening game

45 minutes prior to the start of the game, the score is still tied at 0 – 0.

Assuming a somewhat frenetic pace (lots of missed jumpers) and an undersized Knick team, this is NOT beyond the pale.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
You can have hot pockets for breakfast, hot pockets for lunch
and be dead by dinner. Dead pocket.

it's ok....everyone is joining the movement. Someday i'm going to write up a fanpost about it
Honor Rasheed Wallace
You need to leave the capitalization out
to copy Ben’s “honor terry porter” signature he had.

I think we should be doing great
Knicks have like 7 or 8 players playing? Our bench will tire them out hopefully
"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."
How can you NOT play the attrition card against a bench that short?
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Almost like a hockey situation.
Send in different shifts. I’d have a big lineup and pound it in to Greg and LaMarcus, then swap to a Sergio-Rudy production and let them run, run, run. That would be such a contrast.
honor rasheed wallace
Or you could go at David Lee every time down for a quarter and get him in foul trouble -- then RUN.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
THIS IS A GAME THAT THE BLAZERS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NEED TO WIN.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
No, this is a team that NEEDS TO GET BLOWN OUT to show the world (NY media) that they're for real. Confidence.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Wow, Indiana has a nasty schedule at the moment
Los Angeles Lakers (Dec. 2),
@ Boston (Dec. 3)
@ Cleveland (Dec. 5)
Boston (Dec. 7)
@Toronto (Dec. 10)
@ Detroit (Dec. 12)
As long as both teams play hard...Rasheed will be happy

I hope they didn't forget how to defend pick and rolls
Lee and Duhon did that to eternity in the Golden State game, and the Warriors looked like it was the first time they saw it.

Interesting...
the way this one’s being framed by us Blazers fans.
Skillwise, we’re better than this team. But a team like this one beat us recently.
This will be a test for Nate McMillan and his coaching skills more than for the team.

I like to hear the away announcers
Gives you a perspective on your team. The ones in Detroit were good.
I actually enjoyed the Detroit guys too, I was surprised.
Their commentary on the Blazers was very interesting.
NY Announcers: "I'd rather stick this pen in my eye than give you another Marbury update"
Heh heh heh.
Something will distract me here sooner or later. :)
I just spent 5 minutes telling my wife about the Marbury saga. She got a good laugh.
Explaining Marbury, I said “Imagine the biggest NBA prima donna you know”. I was thinking Iverson.
She replied “Oh, you mean Kobe?”
I’ve taught her well. :)

I have no idea what Portland things they're doing. Oden looks like a complete clod.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Ha ha, they're not doing any "Portland things" other than chucking bricks.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
We can't treat it like a night off.
This team can score, that means they can win. We’ll turn it around though…
I have to say
Oden’s inability to finish is irritating me…
Sorry if I’m a negative nanny. I had a horrible day today.
The worst was the time Ruben Patterson got a breakaway in a close game
and tried a reverse dunk and bricked it. I can’t remember if it cost us the game or not , but I remember him being in the doghouse for a long time over it.
That is really hideous

Oden should stop the grandstanding grabbing the rim and doing a chin up.
Stu Inman: a soft-spoken, witty and brilliant basketball guy -- who had so much to do with Portland's only championship. He believed that you won with not just great players, but with great people. (D Jaynes 2-2-07 Portland Tribune)
That ain't the prob...
…if he makes the dunk I don’t care if he sings showtunes while he’s up there.
It’s his trademark, it looks cool, it ain’t going away.
He just needs to… uhm… not miss the dunk.
He pulls the basket away from the ball
with his showboating. Does he think every dunk reguires a chim-up grab of the rim?
Last game Outlaw just did a straight one hanbded dunk and it was very good looking and very effective.

End of the first, 31-24 Knicks
One of the worst 1st quarters of the season. The team should come out fired up after the break.
It's all D
we’re simultaneously not helping underneath, and not rotating on shooters. In a bad scenario, a team will force you to pick one and do it; right now we’re doing neither. There is no ball pressure, it feels like 4 of 5 guys at any time are looking to poach in the passing lanes.

Well Dave, they pay me a 50k a year salary, but in all my research, I figured out…ummmm…nothing. Essentially, Mike and Nate talked basketball and only basketball while they were coaching.

blazers do not need to be shooting all those 3 pointers
Stu Inman: a soft-spoken, witty and brilliant basketball guy -- who had so much to do with Portland's only championship. He believed that you won with not just great players, but with great people. (D Jaynes 2-2-07 Portland Tribune)
I keep wondering if Nate is telling them that.
Is the Knick’s D just SO impenetrable that we have to settle for threes and never get fouled?
we are a good 3 point shooting team
if we have open looks, we need to keep taking them.

You all should know by now the Blazers shoot tons of jumpshots esp 2nd unit.
Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot. Blazers motto.
The shots will drop eventually. Their defense needs work in this game. Duhon playing like Nash against the Blazers.

Marbury COULD help some because he is still in his prime and has talent…
I can’t imagine someone signing him after all of thus.
If he had played for the Knicks some when they asked, it’d be different (if he played ok).

he could catch balls for theGiants, they have an opening

NY drives and keeps getting fouls
We’re going to end up with less available players than them if this keeps up.
who got the foul?
"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcreaft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. [speech at GOP Presidential Convention 1992] Rev. Pat Robertson
Man
Blazers only know how to foul in this game.
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.
Portland shooting 29% and down 7.... That's amazing and sad. HORRIBLE game so far for the Blazers...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
It's another sign of where we are at now
We’re so good, we can play like total pooh buckets and STILL be right in the game, and perhaps only a slight run from taking control.
Is honey bucket still a sponsor of the Blazerz?
This might be a promotional gimmick we’re doing for them.
fouls
How many have we been called on for their out of control moves to the basket?!

"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcreaft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. [speech at GOP Presidential Convention 1992] Rev. Pat Robertson
We are.
But that’s not the entire problem either. Poor defense, no ability to improve our shot selection when they’re not falling.
no one to calm them down and say "rmember game plan"
"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcreaft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. [speech at GOP Presidential Convention 1992] Rev. Pat Robertson
it's because our pace of play is so slow
if you’re a running team, the other guys are tired and miss free throws.
problem is, we’re so dang slow, the other team isn’t tired, and thus it’s easier for them to drain free throws.

I dont like Odens pick and rolls
cuz he cant roll to the hoop, and when he does he is not open at all.
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.
Unless I heard wrong...
…I thought they said Oden was the future franchise dude, and Roy is one right now.
The Knickls announcers usually have lotsa love for Roy, even mentioning him in non Blazer games.

Can I buy you a fish sandwich?
You me and Morty stayed cool
Its like people have never seen Brandon Roy play a game before. The dude knows when to turn it on.
Man I don't know if the Blazers missing all those shots is a good thing. We get to see them come back
and Roy taking over because of the bad start. It’s fun to watch. Brandon Roy just dances his way into the paint.
Sergio has hit his quota of shots for the game tonight, already (8 minutes).

The Blazers have been missing all sorts of ways today. It's certainly a bigger problem than any one player. More like 8 players...
