Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Nuggets--Second Half

PrintLet's see if we can't play a little better defense in the second half than we did in the first. If so, this game should be winnable.
Chat away!

This game is Portland's to win
All they need to do is go out and grab it. They look lackluster, and like they don’t want the win right now.
Father Roy
bringing us back
Michael....Tell them what they've won!!!!!!!....... *iinsert reference to a baseketball game*
which is the best
thing he could do right now.
Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...
It would be hard to get worse
the lay of averages says they should improve in the second half.
Denver should drop a bit, but a lot of Portland opponents shoot over 50% against us…
Aldridge and Blake keeping it close
everyone else looks off tonight, Roy included
This is one of those games where you know the Blazers are gonna win, just because.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Got my Rudy bobblehead
One is given for each season ticket this year. Sucks, I love going to get them at the games.
Brandon was due for a bad game
He’s really struggling out there tonight.
He’s played in Denver before right? It’s not like he’s been injured in previous games.
I wish I could sync the Portland radio broadcast to the TV
For some reason, the Denver announcers just annoy me.
"For your information, Aldridge is the big tall guy knocking all the shots down"
Best announcer comment so far
ODEN
I am really get frustrating with his decision making. this was not apparent at all in college or in his basketball playing history.
he is slower than his opponents, yet he still opts to try to move laterally. if he has bad lateral footwork, which he shouldnt in the future but does now, u cant just stick to ur guns and either foul ur dude or let em get a bucket.
oden is a smart player this is what is most frustrating. he is making stupid decisions. and when he does, no one EVER helps em out. especially aldridge. when ur playing a zone, the big man is supposed to be bailed out when he goes out to help someone on the wings. but if theres a pick, and oden slides to the guy getting the pick set for him, the one that rolls is open EVERY TIME. why? wheres the help D? aldridge is behaving like Amare. being a team means helping each other and always moving, especially in zone. jeez.
the worst part of all this is that i love oden and i think hes gona be a hall of famer. but i just dont understand some of the things he does. when u know u have some work to do in the offseason, u have to adjust inseason. i dont know if hes trying to have some good habits engrained or what but im just annoyed sometimes. maybe my perception is wrong.
He's a rookie, he makes mistakes
He’s also working back into shape, and this is in a bad elevation.
He’s giving us the definition of needing fan patience.
FALSE
im sick of saying patience. I KNOW ITS GONA BE A WHILE. i think hes making some good contributions, but u CAN improve inseason. hes not Oliver Miller for god sakes. the guy is a smart player and a solid athlete. yes he will be a better athlete and in better shape in the future, i freakin know that. ur allowed to analyze ur play to get better. that is part of getting better. acknowledging weakness and turning it into strength

check out this link
the cameras are close to the floor and are no filtering out the obscenities and idiocies of KMart
hilarious
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Why is Batuum the only Zer driving to the rack
Thats the one thing that frustrates me, so many veterans that jump shoot, and our rookies are the only ones playing like seasoned vets in attacking the rack.
The denver color man
does not seem able to complete a thought. Makes the blazers color guy seem like Obama (well spoken)

ball don't lie joe
Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...
I think
Blake should elbow Billups in teh face and see if he gets a call….
IKE MAKE YOUR DANG LAYUPS
Roy makes public comment that refs are calling him like Kobe, picks up 4 quick fouls tonight. Coincidence? I think not.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Good point.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
At least everyone should be fresh for tomorrow night
riding the pine all night tonight because of these horrible calls.
I don't know if anyone has posted on this
But Joel’s free throw shooting has regressed noticeably. What happened to his new FT technique? (His follow through looks more wild this year than last)
Although he just hit a pair..
Did anybody notice
The Linas Kleiza Nut-Tap to Rudy after his made 3??
Dirty Dirty Nuggets

Rudy mad at himself for the FT miss
love to see him upset about the miss, love the passion for perfection.

You just have to stay close.
That’s something that is different this season for Portland.
They’ve made that next step, knowing that as long as they stay in contact, they are never out of the game.

I work so hard to ignore playoff standings in December
Otherwise I’d go nuts about falling to ninth or something. I try to ignore them so hard.
I'm thinking
Roy and Oden will be re-energized and motivated to take over this game…
Also Blake and Lamarcus are super weapons as plans 3 & 4 (they could all be option #1)..

Ever since I read that fanpost
I just can’t get over it, I always took it for granted but once it was pointed out. The Blazers logo is the best in the NBA, possibly in all pro sports, just classy and cool.
Gotta worry about winning the game first, though.

Bring Roy back in, get Joel some rest by bringing Oden back.
Keep Travis in though. We must have Travis in there. Roy will find him.
gotta get some rhythm
nuggets are only still in it because the blazers cant get any rhythm happening, if broy gets it going then the blazers can close out the game
im guessing thats with melo too

Why does Nate want to put Bayless in 4th quarter of an important game
It’s like asking him to fail. What the hell? Get him some playing time in the 1st half, not the 4th quarter in a tight game. Geez.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
This is putting him in a position to fail
Bayless with no playing time has to make plays now.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
I don't understand the move, other than that Sergio looked bad when he was in.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Agreed
but the question I’m starting to ask is will Nate’s handling of the young PGs (no PT for Bayless, short leash for Sergio) stunt both of them? Easy answer is one should step up and play better, but is Nate short circuiting that with his tactics?

gotta make an adjustment to nuggets double teaming
as soon as broy is one on one they send an extra defender and then scramble to cover the shooters, we gotta make an adjustment before this game gets away
Taking Rudy out and leaving Travis was a mistake...We need offense. Rudy with a 3 puts
us right back into it. This lineup is too much isolation penetration and kick.
Never a good strategy

8 point game
And with only 4 minutes left, the way the offense has looked. I have a hard time believing Zers can pull this one out. Sad, completely beatable team and we just failed to show up. bahhh, so frustrated right now.
yes, if the Bla half decided to show up we'd have this wrapped up by now

i could see it from my couch on a crappy comcast SD broadcast. they can review that stuff and Nate better make sure they do.

this is sad
I know its just one game, but they don’t have the sense of urgency that they should have in a divisional game
This isn't the first time they've looked like this, during this season
Can’t be too surprising. It just happened on a bad night.
And they were STILL in it to the end.

Tough night for Portland
This is why a bunch of us weren’t jumping around yelling “sweep!” earlier today btw.
Blazers played terrible tonight. Game not over but the whole team did not come to play.
Nice night for Travis though.

Offense Is Like Molasses
My God, they take so long to get into their offense. Don’t Nate has any quick hitting plays? Can’t they at least attempt to push the ball? Seems like the team is taking their sweet time EVERY FREAKING TIME …even when they are down by 6-8 pts with 2 minutes to go.

By the way...
Denver tv announcers were very, very bad. They could not get anyone’s name right tonight. They called Travis…Charles, Channing….Greg, LaMarcus….Channing. The only guys they got right were Roy and Blake
very true. very bad
Rudyculize: The act of Rudy making others look slow, dim and generally oafish.

Total homerism I can deal with since you expect it somewhat..
but not getting the opposing team’s players names right? Especially when they are your division rival…that is sad and they should be fired.
Interestingly enough, the Denver announcers praised the Blazers
throughout the game.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
That's nice. But really not knowing the Blazers names shows a lack of dedication to their
profession. College football announcers spend lots of time going over the rosters so they can get the names right from places like Appalacian State. This is your division rival and you can’t get the names right? I repeat they should be fired.
We will need it loud tomorrow night

Outlaw was not good at all...His permeter defense is horrible...
and let let his man penetrate and dish at will. I think we could have pulled this out with Rudy is for the final 5 minutes of the game. Outlaw made 1 basket at the end but had 3 off balance end of shot clock bricks. Typical Outlaw.
How could they be tired after 3 days off?
That is lack of desire.
I think it was a little of all of those
I’m not sure they were prepped to play… it’s very hard to prep to play in Denver though.
They were a step late all game.
Putrid.

No passion
The blazers, with the exception of outlaw, played like crap. They have no fire. Chauncey Billups clapping and getting in Bayless’s face? You have to be kidding me. Channing Frye is softer than new playdough. Roy was resting on his laurels, waiting to get the call. If the blazers can become a little more firey, they will start to play good defense. Otherwise, it’s gonna be a shootout every night. We are all finesse, no fire. And to think they make MILLIONS playing this way. I make 34k a year with an hour and half commute each way, and I bring more fire to my job than these jokers. This was pitiful. Young or not, I think Sarge might need to come out a little more. No more coddling.
Oden=2009 ROY
Overall we got outplayed which means it is possible on any given night Blazers could lose to Denver. Now that means
we have a lot of learning to do. I’m very confident tomorrow will be a win but we need to bring it every night. The fouling was because of laziness. Defenders were a step slow which left off ball defenders constantly out of position. That lead to a lot of free throws.
no kidding, everytime out on the perimiter the defender lets the denver guy get ahead of him, little to no hustle
overall the team just seems tired which isn’t acceptable but whatever we have to win tomorrow.

The non-Roy Blazers need to be more decisive with the ball when he gets doubled out top and has to
They look freakin clueless.
Watch what happens when Roy is doubled out top and he passes to another player....
they sit there trying figure out what to do rather than just being decisive and going. You don’t have time to ponder…you need to go and be decisive.
They didn't look good without him
He just had a bad enough night that they looked bad WITH him, too.
They looked bad, no matter who was on the court.
Someone at Insidehoops said Portland had to drive to Eugene, to fly to Seattle, to fly to Denver. Now that
sounds like it could make these guys mentally fatigued. Funny I didn’t hear about any of this before the game.
the plane flew from Seattle
but the players drove to Eugene and then flew from there to Denver
Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod. - William Shakespeare
Par for the course
The team still has serious weaknesses with regard to easy buckets and defense. The offense is completely reliant on isolations and extremely passive. And the defense continues to be a sieve. The Nuggets played absolutely horrible tonight and Blazers decided to play even worse.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Lack of offensive rebounds killed them. Too many guys
standing around on the perimeter while one of them shoots.
Diogu was awful. No improvement over Frye.
I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do.
He had a couple of good games in pre-season.
Dave should include a Nate review every game
as he does with players, this team shows not coaching at all, no defense scheme, absolutely no offensive plan, you can’t trust Roy to save us EVERY game, Nate has no reactions at all, and is killing players bring them in when is not the time… hate to see how game after game Nate is is unable to react and make adjustments in the last minutes…
KP should have a conversation with him.
Ordinarily, I'm in Nate's camp...
But there were definitely some iffy substitutions tonight.
On the other hand, the team was in pretty bad foul trouble tonight. That couldn’t have made Nate’s job any easier.

Nate knows exactly what KP wants from him, and what his status with the team is.
KP comes across as very communicative.
Too much over analyzing. It's just one game. We'll get them tomorrow. It was just an off night. We'll
get them tomorrow.
He played 7 fewer minutes than LaMarcus Aldridge. Are you going to tell me in those 7 minutes he would not have
gotten to the 15 point mark at least? He would have been in a better rhythm if fouls didn’t take him out of this game. It’s why Oden didn’t get that many rebounds either. Never was in the game long enough to get any. This is part of the ups and downs a team goes through, it’s not a problem.

Wow That's Harsh
The players have a lot of respect for Nate. We aren’t aware of what happens in practice or on the bus. I would think it would very difficult for us to second guess Nate’s decisions.
the worse
always for the worse. sadly.
"It's like, 'Urrrrrrgh!'" Rodriguez says, his cupped hands turning into fists. "It is a good feeling. Good feeling."
BUT WE'RE TIRED, THIS GAME DOESN'T MATTER
Isn’t that the excuse we always use when the Blazers don’t show up?
They were so tired and fatigued! This game didn’t really count, we’re not a playoff bubble team.
lol
pretty pathetic effort tonight
Blazer Fan
I'm not sure what you're talking about
Nobody here thinks “being tired” excuses a loss.
Did the Blazers say that in post-game or something?
What I don't understand is how Nate
is supposed to be a defensive minded coach but as a team we’re near the bottom in the league.
I think it's because we have a lot of new players on the team. I mean we played pretty good defense last year
but just couldn’t get rebounds. This year our rebounding is way up but the defense is still learning. Rudy, Batum, and Oden are all learning how to play defense in the NBA. They are a big part of what our team is doing, it takes time.
by BRoyInThe4th on Dec 22, 2008 8:59 PM PST up reply actions
Do you have numbers (per-100 or similar) to bear out the "good defense" claim?
I don’t remember us being in the top half of the league in defense last season. (I’ll see if I can go look it up in a few)
Am I the only one who laughs seeing Oden
when he runs laterely? I keep my eye on oden almost all the time, mainly because he is the only thing i care about when he is on the floor. I want to see big dunks and blocks. When he runs towards the side he looks like he is about to trip.
One Moment from Phx game
did u see when he got the second Off rebound in the 4th QTR? he almost fell backwards on his behind i laughed so hard because he looked funny.
Other than his lateral movement, he seriously needs to stop making stupid fouls…… If u are beat on the play, then let someone else try. If he doesnt get in foul trouble i easily see him being dominant even while looking off balance every time he defends someone
