Man im worried about this game.
Rip City Baby...People have no idea what is coming.
Follow my twitter www.twitter.com/PDXBlazersFTW, @PDXBlazersFTW. Lots of random Blazer Posts from links I find around the blogosphere.
Book it?
I dont know if i’d say that against the Mavs who started what, 2-6 or something, and are now 15-11.

This game
is either going to be a really nice victory for us in the mold of the Phoenix game this past week or it’s going to be a blowout in favor of Dallas.
I’m voting for the nice victory.

tonights win for the PTB
Bonzi is so confident about a Trail Blazer win he says we could beat ’em wearing Santa suits…. BANK IT!!!

You're Muslim?
So what? Today’s Christmas, whether you celebrate it or not, and I hope you have a great day whether you celebrate it or not.
But, dude, if you are a Muslim, I’m afraid based on your comments you might not be a very good one. So have a good Christmas anyway.

Well, if we're going to have a theological snit...
Then I feel obliged to mention that, based on both astronomical research and historical records of Roman taxation, it’s most likely that Jesus of Nazareth was born in the summer.
Late December was the time when Romans acknowledged the winter solstice with the Saturnalia, a celebration of one of their many dieties. Early Christians who were persecuted by the Romans relocated their honoring of the messiah to the same time period in order to obfuscate their true activities.
BaB might have been a little bit chippy up there in how he reminded the readership that there are non-Christians in the B-Edge hay-ouse, but I don’t see how that warrants openly questioning his ability to adhere to the tenets of his faith. If you feel it’s your place to cast stones, then feel free to aim them at smartypants agnostics like myself.

I’m pretty much agnostic just because I don’t know what I believe. I do however get sick of atheists trying to cram their beliefs down everyone’s throats.

hmmm...whatever...this is the day we have the party,,,
party if you like …do whatever I spose…
cultural Christmas has taken on a lot of weird stuff from other cultures including the opportunitiy to subrogate the Romans festival of lights (dec 25) as the Romans celebrated each year as the days began to lengthen that the darkness would subside again this year..My Grandmother came from Rome … her last name was Festa so I feel they knew how to party….
All that said who has seen the Jesus and Santa lounge act on South Park….? Or Mr. Garrison’s Christmas around the World …..classic….
Keep smiling
Down with political correctness…in fact, *&%# those guys
Chippy?
BaB and I have had a whole lot of conversations. If he’s a Muslim, I’m English. He was joking and so was I. He’s also told us that he’s homeless except that he isn’t, and other creative comments.
There may well be something to your historical comments, though why they didn’t actually do it on Saturnalia (rather than a few days later) if what you say is true is beyond me, so I’m not exactly persuaded. No one really knows when he was born, and no one really knows how and when early Christians started celebrating it on 25 December. But it was at that time of the year that the shepherds would have been out with their flocks all night, because that is lambing season, so at least one part of the story fits with late December.
He was also probably born in 4-5 B.C. That’s right, Christ was born — Before Christ.
And by the way, Muslims honor Jesus as a prophet, so a lot of them aren’t too bothered about Christmas at all. If BaB really wanted to bash Christmas, he’d have said he was Jewish or Jehovah’s Witness, but he was just playing around.
Happy 25th to you, whatever you believe or don’t believe.

I think the Romans normally did the census thing in the summer
But whatever,I am celebrating that today is longer than yesterday,the sun came out and the snow is gone and cornbread and ham for dinner.

No problem at all
Nothing “inside” about it, though, it’s been going on right out in front of everybody for a while.

Too cold in December for lambing
I’ve read that it’s likely the Jesus was born in the fall during the feat of Tabernacles (This is based on the account in Luke re: Zechariah, who’ s priestly “rotation” would’ve put him in the temple in May/June, then following the normal gestation periods of Elisabeth and Mary it works out for Jesus to be born in October.) The Roman taxation angle also fits, since all the Jews would’ve been travelling to their home towns for the feast. Celebrating the conception of Jesus at the end of December is more accurate.
Did you know that the celebration of Christmas (or Yule) on December 25th was against the law in the colonial period? It wasn’t until the 19th century that immigrants from Europe brought the Christmas traditions over to America that we’re familiar with, today.
Not that cold in Israel in December
It’s virtually at the equator.
That priestly rotation thing is interesting, but nobody knows how precise it is, or how accurate Josephus was. You have to start with what he said about 70 A.D., count backwards, and guess the year right, all of which is a little tricky even if he did give us the right info. But even so, there is nothing that says how soon after he got home Elisabeth got pregnant, so even if that calculation is right, a month or two here or there means nothing.
The feast of Tabernacles thing could explain why there was no room in the inn, but the census itself could also explain that.
Was it against the law everywhere in the colonial period, or only in Massachusetts? Those Puritans could be pretty strict about some things, so Massachusetts wouldn’t surprise me, but somehow I can’t see the Virginians banning it.

I'm sometimes scared at how short attention spans are now
In order for NFS:C to be old school. Not aimed at you prez, just thinking out loud.
Last month I was playing Aliens Ate My Babysitter. I wonder if any gamers today could go back in time for older games… I mean, good gameplay is good gameplay, no matter the graphics, right? Maybe not.
i agree completely
I still play Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (with Breakthrough expansion pack) with friends and family on PC. We have LAN parties at thanksgiving and christmas when we’re all together…..and that game is like 6 or 7 years old. It’s just classic.
I had some old school emulators on my old computer that let me play the true classics like Bird vs. Jordan—the 1988 classic one on one game. And Odyssey….lol that game was classic.
Wait you’re agnostic. That means you worship lawsuits. --TiH
I'm pretty sure I have Dr.J vs Larry Bird on emulator!
That was the greatest game ever. My brother never let me win.
I still pull out the emulation of the original Star Wars arcade game. Oh yeah. Good times. :)

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

The other day the game thread was up really late
and this one is up really early. Can’t we just get some consistency around here?
But seriously, the Blazers need to win and the Mavs need to lose. We can’t lose at home on Christmas. I don’t care how secular you are, it’s just not what needs to happen.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
this is the last major holiday we play on that i'm aware of
no new years eve/day games, no valentine’s, st patty, or even april fool’s day games.
this is our shot to make sure we stay undefeated on holidays this year….win on halloween vs. the spurs…..can we get a win tonight?
let’s ho ho hope so.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Many blessings to all! There is something about a Christmas Day with Christmas Day Blazer tickets! The weather ruined my Christmas Eve plans, but I am determined, nay desperate to celebrate in the Rose Garden today.
In a moment of panic, I spread rock salt on last night’s layer of ice from this latest round of freezing rain on the driveway in front of my car- in the dark, the quiet, and more importantly, the privacy of the 3 am hour. Let the neighbors cast their shamed-of-me glances, let the greenie police come, even the little fishies rise up in revolt…I must get to the Rose garden tonight.

Since no one else has said it in 8 hours
three for you

I'm not counting this as an official victory though.
For me, “first” must be actually… first.
sorry to inject some basketball into this thread, but...Brandon Bass
anyone else think he would look great coming off the blazers bench? I’ve been focused on adding a slashing small forward who can get to the FT line for a while now (not many out there besides Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, Gerald Wallace), but I also think we need some more rebounding muscle at power forward.
Diogu is fine, but I don’t believe he’s a real answer. Bass would be a great compliment to LMA. He’s constantly around the ball and in the paint. You don’t need to run plays for him, and he gets a decent number of FT attempts while shooting a great percentage (84%). He gives you ~8pts and ~4 reb in 19 minutes/game. A good game for him looks like 12 pts and 10 reb in 25 mins. Imagine him paired with Joel, and how that would free Joel up to block shots without having to worry about weakside rebounds as much.
Channing, at his best, mimics rookie season LMA with nice jump shooting and very little else. His defense and rebounding are hopeless. Diogu is worth a look, but he is so short and stubby that he seems destined to get shots blocked and have trouble finishing when he does get a rebound.
Bass is the kind of plus plus role player that you can get without major upheaval and instantly plug him in. Think Buck Williams for your bench. Thoughts?
Channing played better....he was in position
he was looking to board he was paying attention….he showed determination and hustle…
thank god….
or whatever thing you profess faith towards..
Uncle Pinchy-Bottom might help our freethrow defense.

At least you gave yourself a year to change your mind. You should just walk out the door now and never come back. You have a year of “when’s the day” and “how did he ask,” then you’ll hear “when you having kids” from then on.

My go to answer is, “You can’t get pregnant the way we do it.” As long as my wife isn’t around, I say that. We both don’t want kids. We sometimes regret having a dog and a cat. Ideally, we want to live close to some in-laws and spoil their kids so they’ll like us better than their own parents.

Man that’s ruined christmas.
Lakers are NOT winning in Boston this season. Home ccourt advantage and what seemed like some heavy favoritism from the referees, so many little things called on the celtics.
Meh, L.A can go in a hole and stay there.
I am in nasty mood and I refuse to give Lakers anything.
And Pau was also a queen down the stretch, when he hit Rajon, tiny little Rajon, it looked like he had been hit by a high velocity air rifle. Flying in the opposite direction. Really manly :)
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like KG therefore not to keen on Celtics, but Kobe and the Lakers must fail at all costs.

Hey TnT, instead of showing us 37 shots of the crowd, how about at least ONE replay of the very questionable foul on jamison

than all of the Blazers combined.
That's for sure. Pass ball to large German man......... ASSIST. (repeat)

and stop him from getting 50, we have this.
Also, tell Travis to put hand in Howard’s face. That would be nice.

I'm fine with the Mav D making our life hard.
But how is it that they’re on pace for a 160 point game with Dirk scoring a league high 60? I though they struggled on O.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
Neither team actually knows how to stop a pick and roll
So lots of points will be scored. Battle of the defenseless teams.

I think GS is younger unless you take Raef out.
We’re still youngest playing rotation.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
Can't we insert Bayless for Outlaw?
The Mavs have a pretty small second unit with Berea and Terry.
Then he could drive to the hole at will.

But the Blazer PGs, especially aren’t aggressive enough. The Mavs are daring the Blazer PGs to beat them.

If his knee is causing his shots to be stripped, you will have to explain that to me sometime...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
My read: he has slow reflexes, he shows ball too soon and too low, and that's that...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
medically, they say the last side effect of microfracture to leave
is quick jumping. Oden is having to go down to jump as high as he needs to.
If you watched him at tOSU, he was insanely quick to get up in the air. Amar’e didn’t have his quickness at first and it killed him.
honor rasheed wallace
I didn't watch him. All I know is that he gets stripped worse than any center in the league, as nearly as I can tell...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
If you watched him at OSU
he was the ultimate fast twitch center. It was insane to watch. He could jump in the air in a millisecond. He had one game where there were five or so seconds left. Up by one, the other team (Tennessee?) rebounded and raced down the court.
Oden recovered and had a soaring block. The speed and height he got off his jump chasing down the guard was unbelievable.
If he gets that back… watch out.

is actually an interesting matchup, dirk is not quicker than trout, and trout is an exceptional jumper so he can contest jumpers

How many points will Dirk score until Nate decides to double him...?
He does know the way to stop Dirk is to double him right?
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Frame that.
“Nate only make adjustments between seasons, and occasionally between games”
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Dirk sometimes has trouble asgainst long and quick defenders.
I remember when Tmac guarded him a couple of years ago in the playoffs, it was the best job I have ever seen anyone do on him
Yeah
I was about to say the same. LMA, as good of a perimeter defender as he is, will not the answer for Dirk.
Dirk for Trout!
Will his points transfer to us, then?
I'm calling 55 for Dirk here. Blazers got nothin' to stop him...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
The difference is the offensive rebounding.
Dallas has picked up the extra possessions.
honor rasheed wallace
Actually, after that knee he took, our Spanish 2's new name is Ruby...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
the only thing that will stop him is some semblance of a defensive strategy.
although with that said, I was impressed by how opportunistic we were in the passing lanes. If we can’t play our man straight up we might as well gamble.
P.S. I’m hoping that Travis will realize he’s guarding a former MVP and not leave him alone on the perimeter like every other player ever.
This kills me
How do teams consistently shoot 60% against us
But we’re still in it, FT’s are hurting us 8 of 13, Dallas 9 of 9
