Oh Yeah
I was referring to the Raptors.
"There is a difference between having two guys banging down low and having two guys who can bang down low." - Blazin'
Toronto is gonna really stink it up
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
Blazers record is the same as last year after 30 games.
18-12 is the record that we had last year at the end of the 13 game winning streak.
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.
Interesting. At the least it means they're, what, more consistent than last year?

Do you think if Sergio ate more beans, that his farts would help him dunk?
"There is a difference between having two guys banging down low and having two guys who can bang down low." - Blazin'
Am I the only one here?
I’m catching the game on Tivo because of the Mexican food.
Do you think Bosh will go off tonight?
Toronto doesn’t have a back up point guard. It would be a good night to let Bayless run wild. Insert the Jaws theme here and then have Sergio AND Blake panicking as they desperately swim towards shore as they try to save their minutes.

I'm going to probably watch at 8 and catch up on the buffer.

Sweet, how is Shav?
He must be pretty upset about Quick’s last two blog entries. A shake up deserves some Shav.
"There is a difference between having two guys banging down low and having two guys who can bang down low." - Blazin'
Shav is good...
There was a nice interview done locally in the Raleigh News & Observer…and on their blog….he’s hanging tight ….staying sharp and patient….he cracks me up though….I keep trying to be an encouragement…He’s got a great perspective ……I haven’t read Quiks blogs…
Shav doesn’t pay attention to anything on the computer…prob not even reading local papers…press always had HUGE expectations and he tuned them out years ago…I’m his link to things alot…Ben had arranged to do an interview with him for the site here…I’m waiting…
But — here are the links… blog interview with Shavlik 12-2008
Newspaper interview with Shav 12-2008
they are actually a bit different from each other
Thanks friend

So far I've been hooked up for 2 games this year
Orlando and this last game against Dallas. Yes, I’ve seen 2 of the 3 home losses. And both of those were just miserable Blazer showings to close the game.
Last year I only saw wins. My luck has turned.
I gotta say the most annoying part was the scattered booing at the end of that Dallas game. Really? That really chapped my hide. I’m not a fan of booing your own team unless they REALLY deserve it, and this was definitely not one of those cases.
"I never scored more than 38, even in Little League." ~ Roy, 52 pts
Definitely, no booing our guys

I wish they’d let Oden attack them rather then watch them attack Oden

I'd love to see them get Oden the ball on the Roll.
Blake has figured out that he can drive and dish to Oden on the double, but otherwise nobody gets Oden open near the hoop.
first possession
drop it right into Oden and let him attack the rim… set the tone big man!

whoo, Katy bar the door! - Maurice Lucas anticipating Greg Oden's development
Blazers record is the same as last year after 30 games.
18-12 is the record we had last year at the end of 13 game winning streak.
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.
That's really interesting
I think we can sustain the good play for longer this year though.

But the home/away balance was far different
whoo, Katy bar the door! - Maurice Lucas anticipating Greg Oden's development
but they started out 5-12 before going on the 13 game streak
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.
We've played a more difficult schedule, and haven't been doing as well the last few games.
But I think the team is in a much better position than last year.

Remember
during the streak they beat Denver twice(with Melo), and Utah twice, Hornets Toronto(they were good then), and many more good teams
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.
Interesteng. at the least it means we're, what, more consistent this year?

Well last year before winning streak they were cosistent at loosing
then they went on a wiining streak and that was consistent for 13 games, then they were inconsistent
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.
to sum it up
Last year in the first 30 games Blazers were consistent. If the were loosing it was in streaks, and visa-versa. The last 52 games were inconsistent.
This year Blazers were inconsistent in the first 30 games. So lets hope the will be consistent in winning, cuz that what will get them in the playoffs.

Normal rotation unless (and until) someone shows chronic bad defense.
If so, then we see a JayBay shot at major minutes.
But not if everyone already in the rotation defends soundly.
That’s my guess, at least.

I think the biggest reason is to give Greg some easier competition temporarily
Something to get his confidence back up.
I’m not sure either way. The idea does have some merit.
Quick says Nate spent a half hour with Greg to talk to him about relaxing and not overthinking the game, and to go out and have fun. Maybe that’ll help tonight.
Toronto is playing the second night of a back-to-back

that probably has as much to do with Oden’s foul woes as his personal deficiences. Perimeter players should be funneling them towards Oden or giving Oden the angle for the weakside block, not leaving Oden vulnerable to cheap fouls.

So, I promised a nasty halftime question
Let’s talk about a bad topic.
The coach took the team to task the last two days. Hard practices, heart to heart talks, threats of changes.
The team responded for about 6 game minutes, then lapsed right back into a reduced effort on defense, and more lethargic play.
So here’s the nasty question: Has the team started to tune Nate out?
Serious question. This is typically the point where that question comes up. Even if they come back in the second half.
I wonder if that could be the case
It’s hard to believe though with these young guys
I don't think so
You’d see a lot more signs than just 18 minutes of semi-poor basketball.
"Brandon Roy, that man is unstoppable, it's like he's playing NBA Live." - Anthony Johnson
It's a valid question
but I just don’t think it’s true.
"Brandon Roy, that man is unstoppable, it's like he's playing NBA Live." - Anthony Johnson
For one thing
Like RipNation says below the Raptors have been shooting hte lights out. And it’s not necessarily for lack of D. The thing is, when the other team hits shots when you’re playing good D it’s hard to sustain.
"Brandon Roy, that man is unstoppable, it's like he's playing NBA Live." - Anthony Johnson
Well, we've got 5 struggling games prior to this
(where happily they won some while playing poorly)
I’m not convinced either. But this is the kind of place where it’s probably time to at least broach the topic… and I don’t want to make a big fanpost out of it or anything. :)

Oden is playing
his best game of the year and I’m loving it. Putting their front court in foul trouble and giving us high percentage shots in the paint. When you feed Oden consistently good things happen. Same with LMA. Blazers need to remember they have a post game. Toronto will coll off in the second half and if we keep pounding it in the post we will make a comeback!

if this team cannot learn the lesson of the last game, is it the players or the coach who deserve the blame?
Blazers aren't a good rebounding TEAM
Oden and Przybilla are good rebounders. So only one position is covered on the court at all times.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
And why dont i see anyone drive inside the paint?
Why does our breakaway basket have to be a 3?

Is he trying to train them to rely on themselves and their other team mates?

it wasn't the ole
it was our Center on a switch guarding Calderon

My honest guess is that he thinks that's the best way the players handle it.
I’m not sure what to make of that thought though.
It's hard not to switch on some of these screens.
The guard can’t get around the pick fast enough to stay on his man so the switch is needed to prevent open shots.
its gross anyway
so it has that going for it.

I just selfishly want Oden to get a few more looks down the stretch.

just want him to go out of this game with confidence that he can dominate.

This is exactly what keeps happening to oden

BIG second half for Portland
They cut down on the defensive errors, but were honestly helped by two things:
1. Brandon Roy is the man.
2. Toronto just started missing shots.
this is the type of effort everyone wanted
if the guys play with this kind of defensive effort every game, i will be happy regardless of whether we win or lose!
great game, great win, made my day :)
dude, we'd need a complete transformation to beat boston in two days
we’re less of a team than we were the last time we played them. just enjoy greg’s best game in weeks while you can
i honestly would take a loss no problem
if bayless just smacked KG in the jaw and dropped him.
Rip City Baby...People have no idea what is coming.

They still need to work on the other half

Tired raptors
Good boost for Portland
I like that Roy said in his interview we need to play 4 quarters of defense against Boston. Looking ahead as soon as this is done.

That travis 3 was a huge factor i believe

you mean that half court shot to close the first half?
or do you mean some other three by Travis? I thought his offensive rebound near the end was his best play of the night.

weird night without a bulk of the BE faithful
but a win’s a win.
i’ll be at the game tuesday, let’s pray for some semblance of cohesive basketball. it’d be nice to win, but i’m concerned.
michelle you look good tonight.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBAAAAAAAAAAL!
Greg Oden's Line
16 pts 10 reb (7 offensive) 2 blk (only credited with 1 for some reason) 1 TO and 2 fouls (3 called, but 1 was not even close to a foul)
he does all this in 28 mins. He would have easily had a 20 pt 10 reb game if he played 5 more mins and was fed the ball even ONCE in the 4th qtr.
The guy is trying to break out, and could use some help from Nate and the team, and especially the refs.
I was ticked that he didn't touch the ball,
But I get that Roy and Aldridge were feeling it. Aldridge had like 12 points in the 4th quarter too.
Great game
by Oden. I wish he were that aggressive every night.
I also wish Portland could find a way to sign Bosh.
Maybe if we throw in a company car.
Canada already covers healthcare, so we’ll have to look at other perks. 401k matching?

I hope this isnt a problem for the game vs Boston I hate boston I dont want to give them an advantage
You hate Boston?
I love Boston! I hear Garnett is swell! I like to think he and I could be friends some day.
Yes, I think our only shot at Boston is if Roy’s mid game is on. That would pressure their D. Otherwise we might suffocate.
"I never scored more than 38, even in Little League." ~ Roy, 52 pts
Two days off.
Again, our days of rest should make this stretch so different than the first month and a half.

yeaim looking forward to a physical game
against the celtics, its about time we intimidate them instead of them trying to intimidate us.
a hard foul by oden or LMA on KG would do wonders i reckon
or bayless smacking KG in the JAW
that would do wonders.

I'd even settle for a kick to the KG bits

damn straight
i reckon bayless would go toe to toe against KG and not back down, this is the kind of toughness we gotta get against veteran physical teams
BTW,

agreed. it's not great when travis is our answer to better defense
he’s a talented, but inconsistent, defender with inferior motivation. this team needs to learn good defense is not blocked shots and steals, it’s hands in shooter’s faces and tipped passes

How rad was that
Roy was headbutting raptor fingers. Was he biting? Did he get a fingernail? Is it weird to be biting someone elses fingernails on the clock?

fun night at the garden
great d in the 2nd half
good hustle for steals
and another superhuman Brandon 4th
The Raptors lobby the refs like a team full of Sloans. Every single foul is a reason to go out for coffee and talk it over with the zebras. Every stoppage is a discussion of no-calls. Jaysus. Never seen anything like it.
Soooo...Quick was....
Full of it? I mean….Serg played more, no J-bay, 38 min from LMA, 6 from Chan — less Travis although he was all over the place….no J-Bay shot in the arm….was there a shake-up visible….same guys – - different level of intensity…nice win…
i know...
i was a little confused at this. effin quick, first the “underwhelm comment” then the “i hate being around him comment?” now the “our whole lineup is gonna be shaken up” – I like quick…but come on.

I thought Jason Quick was referring to the fact that if things don't change
then a change will occur. As in upcoming games, not exactly the game today.
