too wordy
and why is a “Redic…” instead of the proper “Ridiculous”? Not that it matters. BRoy is what we got, and that ain’t much. It’s from the “JayArruh” (Jason Richardson) school of nicknames, that is, ones that are weak.
M, period. Fresh, comma.

Yay new thread
Portland is probably planning some nice adjustments at halftime.
And is being reminded they played terribly and are down by 2.

Why do the announcers drool over the MSG as if it's special?
I’ve been there. It was nothing special.
“The cheer at MSG is different from any other place”. Yeah right.
MSG has been torn down, moved, and rebuilt numerous times
Its kinda like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Dunno. The ratio of concert dvds at MSG vs anywhere else is quite rediculous too.
Apparently there is something about new york…
NY just wants to believe there's something about NY
I actually didn’t hate it when I worked there for a bit. But it’s not even a tenth as special as they like to believe.
If we play defense this half, we win.
Does anyone have a link to Barrett and Rice, or are we stuck with Clyde?
Can I buy you a fish sandwich?
i can't believe we're only down 2
while shooting 36%! Thank goodness for our +12 rebounding edge!

Just got home from work, missed the first half
Although from reading the comments, I wouldn’t really say I was “missing” it…
i hope you're right, Dr. Strangelove... i hope you're right.

zomG, TRADE EVERYONE OMG
Jeff's guide to not looking stupid:
+/- is an absolutely terrible stat, so don't use it, and don't give up on young players before they turn 24.
54!
Blazers shot 18 3-pointers and had 10 points in the paint
Nough…said.
Defense improved in the 2nd quarter. The guard defense from Sergio, Rudy, and Blake is a sieve or fouling. Outlaw had a few stupid defensive lapses, but made some shots. Roy got it going. Aldridge and Oden need to bring it.
All in all, being down 2 at the half is not bad considering how terrible the Blazers performed. At least they rebounded.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Go Pacers!

Mike D'Antoni
Makes you wonder: Is Steve Nash really a two time MVP? I would say it’s fair he was top 3 in both of those seasons
He knows what he is
a big man with no low post game and limited handle, who happens to shoot jumpers well and so stays where he plays best. Outside.
They did not work him screen and pop with Sergio tonight, where he gets good looks and makes opposing defenses pay for trapping the ball. Maybe because teams have figured out they don’t really have to trap either Sergio or Blake off the pick and roll.

1st half observations/questions
1. Not sure about Nate’s color combo tonight. Is that undershirt Lavender?
2. Mike Rice should stick to monosyllabism. He butchered “Cognizance” unless anyone else knows what he said.
3. The PTB didnt seal off the Knicks outside shooters. That will stop 2nd half.
4. Over 1000 posts first half game thread. Can it be eclipsed?
It's too late to agree with me, I've already changed my mind.

The knicks can't possibly hit these shots all game...can they?
The Jinx Effect...a Mike Rice specialty.
I'm not happy right now.
Why is scoring in the paint on our team looking simple?
Why is oden looking like my little sweet cousin prancing down the court?
Why haven’t we ran a pick and roll for oden?
Why are the Knicks still in this game?
Why? ;)
The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out burns out farms and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.

We went like this, he went like that. I say to Hollywood: Where'd he go? Hollywood says: where'd who go?
My two cents
They were hitting outside shots and it is tough for our bigs to cover perimeter players. Plus our guards were not getting around screens which meant we needed weakside help which did not come
They left Oden open but left him open at the free throw line where he was not helpful. The three times where we sent Batum there to receive the ball against the zone trap, Batum made the pass for an easy jumper
They rotated an extra man underneath against the screen and roll, picking up Greg while the ball was being doubled. When we flashed a player to the free throw line from the weak side, we made them pay
What a frustrating frustrating game. I hate Mike D’Antoni, almost as much as I hate Don Nelson.

Blazers cant use Odens size. And Oden is being guarded by some 6-7 dude.

Dear Nate
we can’t get an open 2 because they are giving us 3s. But you told us NO THREES at halftime. no we are fighting the 24 second clock.

you can’t just tell your team not to utilize half their game. even if they weren’t falling before, you still got to take open 3s.

Those of you who wondered why a few of us were worried about this game
Here’s the reason.
Bad Portland play, one Knick playing out of their mind, and some awful refereeing. It’s a nasty combination.
I have no confidence in Travis either. That guy's an iso clankmaster...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
I hope Pryz went over to the ref and said
“That’s not a foul. On the next Knick possession, I’ll show you a foul.”
What's up with Outlaw?
Every time he is in, his man always scoring. First it was Thomas, now its Harrington. He does not guard the 3pt very well.
blazers going with the 3 guard offense.

Blazers should go small to match up
No point in playing big if the BIGS aren’t doing anything on O and giving up layups on D.
Knicks aren’t even bothering to guard Oden or Przy and disrupting spacing.

the knicks are playing all-world defense, it's blowing my mind.

And it was jumper jumper jumper.

Outlaw takes the dumbest shots. Always trying to be a hero. Pull up and shoot, don't take fall aways
with Lee in your face. Should have shot earlier.

How much bigger does the Greg have to be before he's no longer a
non-factor? It hurts me just to watch the kid. He provides no leadership, is uninspiring, and lacks any sort of offense.
Oh well, he’s a 5 to 6 year project (or what ever the timetable’s up to to) i know.
when i get sad, i stop being sad & become awesome again. true story.
Ah nice vocabulary timbo...
good call. Greg is less uninspiring as he is underwhelming. And I, once again, was the uninspired by the way he plays underwhelming ball.
when i get sad, i stop being sad & become awesome again. true story.
He is a rookie
and this is the first time he has played a D’Antoni coached team. It’s a little like watching college defenses come up against the spread option (see Civil War). It can make good players look silly.
But if you DVRed this, take a look back at the screens that Greg and Joel got beat on. The weakside defenders were so concerned about losing players out at the arc that they never rotated across

One fun thing about watching opposing teams' announcers
Is how highly the whole league thinks of Brandon Roy.
He is what everyone wants on their team
Unselfish, a complete player, a good person.
Who wouldn’t want that?
Some of the comments are memes (like his “always plays under control” thing every announcer points out), but none are incorrect so it’s ok. He is one of the few dudes everyone in the world can agree on.
An observation
When a bad team plays great, they only lead by a couple of baskets. When a good team plays bad, they still win.
"Every time I see Stern in public now, I kept expecting him to point up to a helicopter hovering above, like Sosa did to impress Tony in "Scarface," followed by the sight of a beaten-up Tim Donaghy being pushed out of the 'copter in midair," Bill Simmons, ESPN Draft Diary 2008

See, this is a GREAT example of how we’re a good team now.
We played pretty sucky most of the game, had a very minor (for us) run, and coast to a win.
Even though it wasn’t pretty or great, every good team has games like this.
no big dunks tonight. perimeter based games bore me
but a W makes me happy anyways
"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."
I just caught up on my DVR
From the opening minute, this game seemed headed for it’s eventual outcome.
Just like Timmarr, I love the love Roy (and all the Blazers really) get from the other team’s broadcasts.
Since we ain’t gonna be happy with HOW we won, I think the Bullets are going to get squished.

Yeah between this game and the Wiz blowout win
I have a feeling Portland will be hungry tomorrow night, and the Wiz will be feeling a high from tonight.
I’d like to see Portland just grab the game in the 1st, like they’ve done a few times recently.
And here's the final box tonight, Blazers shooting 44.4%, Knicks 41.0%

Oden had a neutral affect
A flat zero for +/-.
I love that we’re a good to great defensive rebounding club. That drove me crazy last year.
Ya know what… I love our team. There, I said it. Sue me.
That shows that our bench won us the game
and they dont have a bench so it worked as i predicted
"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."
as the Spanish connection they were
+28
"I saw him in the face." – Sergio, when asked about how the latest Rodriguez-to-Fernandez alley-oop came to be.
It's much better this year. If LMA would stay low and get more aggressive, it could be a GREAT rebounding team...
Pryz very clearly outplayed Oden tonight, both ends.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Joel has been awesome
And I’m glad other team’s media types are finally noticing.
Joel is healthy, in shape, and doing what he do and it is awesome.
its joel lol
"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."
I think we learned for absolute sure tonight that Travis is better going against PFs than he is being defended by SFs...
……………………. Which doesn’t make him a 4, mind you.
He’s still a guy with a unique skill-set and it was good to have him tonight. No matter if he’s 0-for-5, he’s willing to take that 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th shot, which is ultimately what it takes to bash out of shooting slumps such as the one we saw tonight…
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
how bout them 19 points from Oden. and the seven blocked shots

What are your thoughts on Sergio finishing +14?

I think +/- is a riveting statistic and that he's the principle reason the Blazers won tonight.

Did not take a lot of shots and missed them all
but played well overall, I thought. He seemed much more active on the boards than the boxscore gives him credit for – in fact, I remember an offensive rebound, off an Oden dunk, that the box does not credit him for

Not surprised.
Billups-for-Iverson was a steal for Denver. Now they have a playmaker, and gave up a player they weren’t going to keep after the season anyway.
I’ll be shocked if they miss the playoffs. Portland has to hope for Phoenix or Dallas to fall at this point, unless injuries take out Houston.
Portland is playing as well as or better than every team in the west
except Phoenix and LA.
.
yep. and Shaq is actually more mobile in paint than Oden right now
"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."
Shaq really gets up to play Pryz
Even more than his excitement to play Oden I think. Shaq really dislike Pryz.
everyone dislikes Przy because he's a traditional Amurican who stands up for traditional fambly values

Ooo, THAT would be nice. I think Dallas looks pretty bad, despite their recent winning ways...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
We should have played Oden for 48 minutes tonight...
it will get him back in shape by January instead of March
We're not dealing with conditioning here, we're dealing with TECHNIQUE and INNER FIRE.

I'm surprised Points in Paint were so close
I’m betting Portland closed the gap in the 4th when they got more aggressive.
it was actually rudy's 3s that got us in motion
"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."
just finished on DVR, that was way too close
I’ll take any win, but I was sorry to see the Blazers fall into the Knicks trap so quickly tonight. They need to dictate the game, especially to weaker teams. Why did it take until halftime for Nate to talk his team into settling for quick threes?
Interesting that they died as they thrived
Some very tired players on the NY side missing most of their 4th qtr shots

Ha!
I was following these threads all along at work. Enjoyed all the fretting and fussing over the crappy start and bad shots. Glad to see we pulled it out. Good stuff. Bad game wins are great for this team. Confidence is great and all, but humility and hard work is what this team is built on. Nothing like getting spooked by the Knicks to keep you from loafing at practice.
go easy, Blazers fans....
….the Blazers just did to the Knickerbockers what really good teams used to do to the Blazers when the Blazers were, ahem, crappy in Nate’s early years — let them hang around, and then remind them of who they are and (more importantly) of who WE are.
There are certainly lessons to be taken from this game, especially considering the number of nearly-uncontested layups scored by the Knicks.
However, I am impressed by the resolve shown by the Blazers (and, especially the reserves) in taking control of this game and reminding the Knicks of what they are, and what WE are.
The Blazers are the ONLY west coast team that is gonna walk away with a win tonight!
LOVE IT!

Please let Dave's DVR work
Otherwise, this is what I saw:
Brandon had a tougher time than usual handling the ball tonight, evident in the turnovers (I think six, w/out checking). They were very effective in double teaming him. It looked like they were playing a box-and-one zone sometimes, with one player shadowing Roy from end to end. They sent a third person at him from the middle on screens, covered our marksmen on the wings and allowed a lot of space around the free throw line. When that space was filled by Greg or Joel, we stagnated. When Nic or LMA moved in there, we got good shots. All in all, NY’s defense was aggressive and smart.
We had a lot of trouble with the pick and roll. Our centers would challenge Duhon, but then recover slowly and there was no weakside rotation, as if LMA and Nic and Roy said “I’d rather give David Lee an easy layup than have to run back at a 3 by my man.” I actually have no idea what they were thinking. Early foul trouble seemed to make LMA tentative on defense (and maybe offense too, as though he were having flashbacks to the Golden State flopathon). He can be such a good help defender when he is aggressive.
I don’t remember seeing “Fast Breaks Points” listed as a stat, which is a good thing, because the only time they are listed are when we are getting wiped out in transition (Chicago being a recent exception). We got back on D, and might have given up a few offensive rebounds to do so, but I think it kept the pace more or less on our side. Unless “Sloppy” is a pace. Fortunately, it was mostly slow and sloppy rather than fast.
Some individual notes:
PG: when the Knicks applied pressure, we needed our points to get us into our offense faster or try breaking down the deffense more quickly on their own. Neither did so. They contributed, but not directing the offense. The defense was awful, until the dogging of Duhon by Sergio seemed to take a toll on Duhn. Viva Sergio.
Brandon seemed to play well in spurts but had as much trouble as anyone else decoding the Knicks’ defense. When they went to man coverage, he broke them down. But he had trouble identifying open people out of double teams. Rudy on offense was a quick spark, then a lot of poor shot selection, redeemed by a quarter of good shot selection. LMA had a similar graph, except that his nadir seemed to have more to do with foul trouble than getting shot happy. Some critical makes down the stretch for him. Nobody does as nice a job attacking a zone as Nic. Nobody on the Blazers busted the zone like Travis.
Joel had some nice late minutes, especially defensively, though both he and Greg had trouble with a) the pick and roll b) challenging people coming across the lane. Still, if NY ever considered posting someone up, they soon abandoned that strategy. I remember one post up by David Lee, resulting in an Oden block, and nothing more than a few iso’s for Wilson Chandler when the Blazers switched small onto him.
Greg’s missed dunks were unfortunate – but he started from under the basket. Rudy has to stop passing to Joel when Joel does not have a clear path to the bucket.
