Agree with the Prezof Death
The last two games were fascinating. In the 1st, the 1st team stepped up and won it, and in the second, the second team bailed out the cold hands of the 1st. So, we won both games, even though last night was the one we should have, could have, didn’t lose. So, we got it out of our system. If tonight both teams come to play – the Wiz’s will wizz.

I think we play much better ball the game after a bad show.
And asside from last nights 4th quarter, it was a bad show, so…….
I’m expecting 1/4 a bad quarter, and 3 3/4ths good quarters…I just hope the 1/4th bad quarter comes in the first half.

are right in line with Dwight Howard’s rookie year. I would also like to see more offensively from Greg, but remember he’s only played 13 games in his career.

Don't worry
Oden is still getting used to the NBA game, right now he is learning to play defense the offense will come later (hopefully). If GO looks like this 2 years from now then its time to worry, give the big fella some time.

The second his forearms get bigger
and he can hold onto the ball for his dunks, his average goes to 14 a game. Guy needs to get himself some medicine balls and/or lots of adult videos. Strengthen up them forearms

The last time someone got over 10 steals in a game was in ’99. Additionally, according to http://nbahoopsonline.com/History/Leagues/NBA/moststealsinagame.html 10+ steals has happened 19 times in NBA history as well).

I don’t know. I keep trying to look under the covers to figure what KP might actually do, as opposed to what most of us “think” he’ll do once Webster comes back and we move downstream to the trade dead-line. Most of us look at the obvious, but I wonder if KP isn’t playing with his magic sticks, such as the ones he pulled out of the hat with Rudy and Batum. KP’s Ian Flemings version of the “Man with the Golden Gun – I mean Gut”. I think it would be great if he found someone under the radar that turned out to be just one more “steal”.

The problem lately has been that the only guy who’s broadcasting Blazer games does it in a really low resolution, and he can’t get the sound loud enough. Last night I watched the game at a different link, and it was just like watching tv (except for the Nick homer announcers). Once in a while there’s a better broadcast on Justintv, so I always go there and check, but I’m hoping it’s somewhere else too is all.

Ceiling?
Let’s assume that making it to the conference finals would mean:
a) Facing the L[xxx]rs there, and not before, and
b) Being able to beat anyone else in the conference in a seven-game series by then.
I’d say best case scenario, that’s doable.
So either that’s our ceiling, or our ceiling is higher.
Could we (at BEST) take La-La in a seven-game western conference finals?
How could I say “no”?

the ceiling is the title
we are going to get better and with some luck + injuries to other teams star players ( not that I wish it happens) we have a chance at the title.
I think besides the Lakers and Boston, we have above 35% chance of beating any team in a 7 games series ( no injuries). We’d probably need injuries to be champions.

Ninth
Ninth Circle of Hell, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Divine_Comedy#Ninth_Circle
The Ninth Circle is ringed by classical and Biblical giants. The giants are standing either on, or on a ledge above, the ninth circle of Hell, and are visible from the waist up at the ninth circle of the Malebolge. The giant Antaeus lowers Dante and Virgil into the pit that forms the ninth circle of Hell. (Canto XXXI) Traitors, distinguished from the “merely” fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying one in a special relationship to the betrayer, are frozen in a lake of ice known as Cocytus. Each group of traitors is encased in ice to a different depth, ranging from only the waist down to complete immersion. The circle is divided into four concentric zones.
Not to belabor the obvious, but the giants represent the Blazers, the traitors are the Wizards. Natch, the Wiz are mired in a cold streak.

Although I have us win one and lose one against Toronto anyway. And as yesterday has shown, we are not immune against giving up a game vs. a bottom team. Such as the Clippers.

Seems to happen a lot. If the team was underplaying due to unhappiness with the coach, there’s an immediate turnaround.

I have a question for you all
I was at a Wal Mart today and there was a bell ringer raising money for the Salvation Army as I entered the store. When I was exiting the store there was a father and daughter literally yelling at the bell ringer for accepting donations from a convicted child molester (I do not know how they knew this) but I was curious if other people think that it is just or is any donation a good donation when it comes to helping people? I think any donation is a good donation……

any donation = good
i hate those salvation army guys though.. I used to pump gas across a parking lot from a safeway and had listen to that annoying bell for 8 hours a day

OT much?
But I think any donation is a good donation in this case. If the molester volunteered to work…might be a little different.

I know its OT

if you can't see what he did as a child molester
and what he did as someone giving to those in need as two different things, I am sorry.

How did these people know that some random guy is a child molestor
And why would they expect the bell ringer to know?!

Streaking? Huh?
They won one game, is that a streak?

Was it the bumpkinified version?
I like our normal version, don’t like the new “rock” version or the “country” version.
by Mortimer on Dec 3, 2008 4:03 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
it was the "rock" version today.
it’s a little better than the country one though. yuck.

League Pass Broadband has moved to a new level of goofiness...
Now I can see live broadcasts, but the blackouts are very random. I’ve got the Whizz feed of this game, even though I should be blacked out living in Corvallis. Last week I couldn’t see live action but was getting random blackouts on the archive games…
Pretty weird.
Oh well, I’m not knocking it as long as I get my Blazers and my Lakers…

Why should you be blacked out?
I thought only home games have a blackout radius.

I'm in the PDX market so I should be blacked out on Blazers -- I was for the first few weeks, then something went screwy...

I really wanted to see the Knick version of yesterday's mess last night, but that was randomly blacked out. No rhyme or reason to which games are showing up as blackouts for me -- not just national TV games, totally randomish...

My buddy gets all the games on LP
And all the games through the sports pack, no blackouts on DirecTv, and he’s here in Clackamas.

He must have a buggy sign-in -- should be blacked out if he's in the Blazers' geographic territory...

Is this game on CSN HD in DC or Portland? I didn't know Washington DC had Comcast.

Road games are not HD in Oregon.

I the Blazers site it says CSN HD, I thought it was weird too.
by BRoyInThe4th on Dec 3, 2008 4:05 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe channel 788?
Last year they showed the very occasional game in HD on that channel. Has not happened yet this year that I can recall.
by portlandpete on Dec 3, 2008 4:08 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
788 is black screen for me just now, maybe it will be on later...

Am I reading this right
The line for Portland v Washington was -6; but now it’s closed to “pick em”?
M, period. Fresh, comma.
by manzell on Dec 3, 2008 4:06 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Could be due to the events of last night
Could also just be a bit of an anomaly.
by Timmay! on Dec 3, 2008 4:07 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
What's the mean?
“Pick em” means it’s a 50/50 toss up?
