am I allowed to have 2nd half thoughts if it's not the 2nd half?
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Why is it that we don't have a shout out / call to action for blazer's fans to vote for fernandez for the dunk contest?
…if we do and i am just missing it—that is also a problem.
I swear, does Dirk Nowitzki get every call?
LMA has 3 ticky tack fouls agains him. Dirk runs over Rudy under the basket, foul on Rudy. Dirk ain’t Kobe. He shouldn’t be getting those calls. Hope we get a few calls in the second half.
TNT
I they aware you can use instant replay on thing other than made baskets?
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
They like all
Nationally televised game NEVER do replays on questionable calls. Unless the Tsar of the telestrator demands to see something again.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
Doubling
so, if you are coaching Portland, don’t you tell your guys “if you are guarding Dirk or Terry, you should never double off of them” ?
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
One
would hope but it seems like Outlaw constantly leaves say…Kleiza open for three and Outlaw is not alone in this behavior.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
I saw us
double off of Dirk multiple times in the first half – and we were doubling Barea to do it. I mean “really!?!”
I also saw us double off of Terry a couple times resulting in wide open jumpers for him
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
Oden is
being overly cautious in this game. I guess he read Timbo’s post. See, we do matter!
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants

She said Go Blazers
"shaq and zach randolph have the same trainer... "

saing the NBA cares more about stars

no one runs ads about how Steve the Plumber does community service
I don’t think many people would care if RLEC did community service. You know, donating some of that money to the needy.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Looked like a sketchy call on Oden. They show no replays on this channel...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
So to start out
Oden makes a pretty good move and still gets called for the foul. No arms down, no bad movement, just some incidental contact.
"It’s a good ol’ fashioned Rip City beat down!"
Oden needs to lighten up.
Reminds me of myself playing pickup ball. I don’t want to let my teamates down and I feel terrible when I make a mistake.
hey random but what seed do u guys think the blazers can earn this year?

Two attrocious calls
on Oden. The first was barely marginal, the 4th was absolutely bad.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
I'm sick of watching Dallas players level our guys (Rudy and Roy)
and then ANY amount of contact by one of our players is called instantly

Well, Dallas is actually setting screens
Can’t say the same for the Blazers offense.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
it's our guys
we dont force the screen to contact… our ball handler always float away. we are trying to force a defender to make the wrong over/under choice rather than eliminate a defender like Dallas does

makes up for some of the 1st half BS

LMA is on drugs
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.

LMA
Was shouting at the Dallas Bench earlier….. me thinks he’s pretty fired up
IKE MAKE YOUR DANG LAYUPS
Oden has such ticky tack fouls called
the one where Howard drove into him and bounced off didn’t even affect the play. It was just two guys running into eachother. Howard wasn’t shooting.
honor rasheed wallace
The one
Where Dampier was using an Arm bar and Oden got called for freeing himself was utter BS.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
As was the
4th foul on Dirk that was also BS Dirk should only have 3. Officiating is bizzare and annoying.
He's Coming! Oden Slayer of Giants
not to mention oden was to the spot well before howard ran into him
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
Is the officiating bad or is it my homerism coloring my view with a rosy tint?

Oden very very late reacting again. Knee cartilege or reflexes, you tell me...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
I think he got so used to being able to move so fast
that he picked up bad habits. He could be late and make it up by being fast. Him playing slow will hopefully break that habit.

and...
offensive rebounds

This is why I don't mind him getting his 6 fouls expeditiously, so he's not screwing up the works down the stretch.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
Okay, I want Oden out of there and I want him out of there now. I am really sick of Nate's favoritism for "our future" instead of playing the best player in the present.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
He doesn't, notice he doesn't give Bayless any burn
Nate is nothing but a journeyman coach

Blake got beat, Oden forced a miss
No one picked up Bass. How is that Oden’s fault?

I don't see that
I see him still slow but getting better. I see Blake being unable to get through screens and catch up with his man. On the play I referenced above, which is part of the perpetuity, Oden played it very well. Blake forgot about Bass who trailed Barea down the lane. No one else reacted to the play.

We’ve got BRoy
Oden was held on that try for the offensive board
Dirk had his arm. Greg tipped the ball but was held to the ground.

I think there is no point in having Oden if
If you aren’t going to try and score with him. Otherwise if you want defense and experience you need to have Przybilla in there. If you have Oden in you have to have him go at Dirk who is playing ZERO DEFENSE and/or would pick up his 5th

We are easily forced out of what we want to do by the opponents defense
Today was a great example of that
Blazers need Rex on Barea cuz nobody can stop him
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.
Can anyone provide a reasonable explanation to for the switching on defense
We have been absolutely KILLED on that in the last month. LMA on the point guard is not an acceptable defensive gameplan
Roy is penetrating, getting mugged.
No calls. I am iffy on the first, angry about the second.

Well boys and girls this game sums up why we are not a lock for the playoffs this year
we play way to soft and cannot impose our will on an opponent
Barea gets the offensive rebound as LMA watches. Pryz on the bench. My hand extended to Coach Nate for wasting 2.5 hours of my life.

I am ticked about LMA’s fifth foul. That should have been Oden’s…
Oden wouldn’t have been in to mess up, LMA would have been able to play. I am freaking steamed about that call.

I guess he figure Oden and Przy couldn't switch on the pick and roll
So he decided Aldridge could do it. The switching has to stop!

really embarassing! Barea at 5-9 is allowed to get 8 rebounds, Only 13 rebounds from Pryzbilla, Oden and LMA. Seems like our guys didn’t want to play on Christmas day maybe they ate a little too much last night?Also how do we allow Dirk to play so well without getting him fouled out? They just didn’t play with any energy tonight. We can’t be losing at home playing without energy and hustle. Shame on you Nate!
yeah Kidd and Barea combine for 20 boards. that is ridiculous.

Travis played excellent in the 3rd Quarter
you guys have to give him that. He stole the ball right from Dirk’s hands twice in a row. He played awesome defense in pushing Dirk away from the basket and making him tough shots.
On the other side of the court he was driving into the lane and creating contact. He played a really solid quarter there.

All his good plays basically cancel out all his bad plays

i dont blame the coach
but there was no communication on defense, and the mavs just had more hustle and looked like they wanted it more.
our execution was terrible in the fourth, we only scored 14 points.
the difference was a veteran team against a young team, as we get more experienced we should be able to close out games like this, however this season there will be games we should have won but we didnt.
no matter what nate does
he cant physically run onto the court himself, the players have to make plays and do the fundamentals, like boxing out, communicating on switches etc. etc.

then why do you need a coach?
The coach is the one who has to analyze the game, put the right guys in and give them the directions to follow.
Did you see a single player looking for Dirk 5th foul on offense? Did you see a guy guarding Barea properly? Offensive plays for Rudy on the 4th Q? Any bench move on the 4th Q to get more rebounds?

what happens if you run an iso for broy
at the top of the key which nate diagrammed in the last 20 second time out?
and then what happens to the play if the mavs double roy as soon as he touches the ball.
teams that win consistently have players who can make plays, X and Os are great theoretically, making plays are partly skill and experience.
blazers arent lacking skills, we are lacking experience, and i expect every veteran team to bring it against the blazers every game.
in essence there is no gimme games at the moment.
It still has a lot to do with the players.
Roy couldn’t get in the lane much to draw fouls, Outlaw actually was trying and did draw some on Dirk. Przybilla only had 5 boards, and he would’ve been on Bass, forcing him to switch out on Barea, or try to disrupt shots, taking him out of rebounding position, leaving who to grab the boards? Blake didn’t so much as get in Bass’s way so they could’ve thrown up shots and just gone for the rebound.
I do agree with the Rudy part to an extent. I explained why I think it’s harder to run plays for him, but it would still be beneficial to get him moving more.
i argee that the blazers
need to communicate on pick and roll defense more, they were getting killed on mismatches all night.
Activate Shavlik Randolph
I blame the guards on this one.
They need to put a body on the other teams’ bigs if they get beat on a drive. Too many times they stood and watched Oden or Przybilla go try to disrupt a shot, while a Dallas big walked up to the hoop. That, and we missed 11 free throws and we lost by 8.
this is a game where
i felt martell would have been a factor, he is strong enough to bother some bigger players yet his defense is good enough to stay with some smaller players
the whole team stood and watched
instead of cutting to the basket, or improvising some screen or something
Activate Shavlik Randolph
Two trends we need to change
1) When we have something working on offense, particularly in the post, we don’t milk it
We most often see this with LMA disappearing after starting the game or the 3rd qtr with a series of post buckets, but I’ve seen it throughout the game with different players. when you go to LMA and he gets fouls on Dirk on consecutive possessions, what do you do next? THE SAME THING!! This team needs to get far more comfortable with repeating the same play until the opposing team stops it. We seem to have a need to spread the ball around. That’s foolish. The ball will get spread when the defense overcompensates to take away what is working.
2) We double off of the opposing team’s best shooter WAY too much
When I played ball, there were certain players the coaches said, “Do not double off of this guy no matter what.” It was a simple instruction. Yet, I see Dirk Nowitski or Kleiza or Matt Barnes getting left open time after time even after they’ve hit a few in a row. I understand that you generally want to always force teams to beat you from farther out, but a contested 10 footer is a tougher NBA shot than a wide open 3 ptr for a good or hot shooter. Travis is horrible at this. I see him cheating off his man all the time and then hopelessly diving to get back to his guy hitting an open three.
I have seen this all season, and it’s totally fixable with proper coaching.
Number 1 is one of my pet peaves...

Absolutely Point Number One!
Thats what good coaches and good teams do….when they find an attack that works they make the other team figure out a way to beat it…..example in this game was Dallas running the same play in the last 3 minutes …we never stopped it…they kept running it……..
We NEVER do this….unless you count “giving the ball the Roy and letting him take over” and a coaching strategy…(which I dont)
I have nightmares of how our bad coaching will be exposed if we do make the playoffs (I think we will)….in a 7 game series….Nate will be exposed….just like he was in the playoffs with the Seattle team in 2005
I have always wanted Rick Carlisle as our coach since he was an excellent assistant for us……..instead we seem to get attached to sentimental favorites- Cheeks, Mcmillan …….and because they are nice guys and good community guys we hold onto them and dont hold them accountable for not developing our talent

Rudy's presence is a threat.
Having him on the court makes it easier for Roy and Aldridge to work.
That's how most offenses are played down the stretch.
It’s hard to play the same team offense that Rudy thrives in because teams pick up the defensive pressure immensely. However, it would be nice to have Rudy running around more screens to tire out the defense in these situations.
anyways
a loss is a loss, doesnt matter if its by 1 or 20, hopefully the guys can relax and enjoy their xmas, hopefully come back for toronto and win

a key play i saw was when brandon bass got loose for a dunk
oden switched and didnt call it, i think it was blake who didnt notice there was a switch, and rudy was late rotating, summed up the whole nite defensively.
ouch, but some good stuff until the end
I thought Sergio was playing unusually good defense on Barea in the first half so why no Sergio when barea went off, especially at the end when Nate followed Rick into the pit of small ball. Might as well. I would have like to see a center also. But we need work on defense rotation of course. I have to say, I thought Travis played good defense tonight. Nice to see.
and then Nate took him out of the game... Nate!
