Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Raptors

It's an early start, so this one is up overnight!  Take good care of it.

Will the Blazers bounce back for a victory?  Will the Bosh, O'Neal, and Bargnani frontcourt (collectively known as BOB) be too awesomely powerful?  How many Spaniards can you fit on a court at the same time?  Discuss all of these questions and more in the comments.  Enjoy!

ok we got to stop this whole "first" thing, seriously dyshooter182

if you ARE going to be the first one to post on a comment on this siren song of a sight of a site you have to back it up with some quality text about the game at hand, otherwise, your just being a goober (GREAT candy by the way), a homer (what does that mean anyway, like Homer " Simpson or Homer’s Odyssey (note the Siren reference), a snot rocket (not bottle rocket), a punk (I think you use those to light the bottle rockets), a “what, you got nothing to say?” type of guy, or come on write something fresh, we are already have enough of those type of guys anyways, “First!” Whoo hoo! So from now on, I don’t want to see any more boring “first posts” or I’m going to come comment under them and take my rightful spot at the front of the chow line, I mean come on, why not hide say it like you think it – “I think the Blazer’s are going to come out and play like men possessed tonight and win by 30 points”! Be that type of guy, just come and say it, but say something.

Blazers 112 : Raptors: 3 claws, 3 bad Jurassic park movies, and 81 points.

And I’m out! See you in the junk drawer!

The first thing...

…I don’t like it at all, but it’s allowed for the game day threads and I don’t get too bent out of shape if it brings joy to people’s lives.

BUT, when it makes it’s way into normal front page posts or fanposts, it’s buggery of the highest degree.

the "first" thing

If you don’t like it don’t read it…. ok I had to say that just cuz its so funny….

 The first thing about the first thing is fortunately there are more important things to take offense to (even around these parts) and its amusing to see how something so innocuous can create such resentment.

What ever happened to “its all in good fun” …oh sorry, my bad, I forgot how serious this site is sposed to be….

Bethatasitmay, the game is on early, and Im in omniaparatus…. Bring It venters!!!

Plus

Both just pretend to be Spain-ish to pick up chicks, but don’t realize the other is faking it as well… so they’ll be really uncomfortable around each other, each thinking the other will reveal their scam.

If only they would join forces, they would be more powerful than ever.

FUN FACT: Spain’s 25th anniversary is today (Sunday). It was discovered by Mexican explorers way back in 1983, and today is a loose gathering of savage tribes cobbled together to form a “state” that is really just a construction of British map makers. If Sergio and Calderon truly were Spaniards, they’d likely hate each other because most “Spaniards” care only about themselves and give allegiance to no man or country.

Except, of course, to the King of Mexico, who they believe is a direct descendent of Pele.

I think it will

This is a team we should carve up, even if Bosh goes for 30/15… especially after a loss like in Boston.

We’re gonna wanna look to feel good about ourselves again, and if we wanna prove we ain’t soft who better than Toronto to out-muscle? Of course, out toughing Toronto doesn’t mean much, but it’ll feel good.

Last year’s Sunday morning game against Toronto was one of the awesomest losses I can remember, what with the 4 point Trout play and the Roy buzzer beater 3. Barely felt like we lost. I hope this one is awesome with a win.

I don’t feel anywhere near as good about this as you guys.

We don’t seem to be able to stop Bosh, and we don’t seem to be able to stop people like Calderon. And on the road, and at an odd time of day, we may struggle with hitting our threes.

It will be mega-fantastic if we win this one. Besides which, I probably get to watch the whole thing.

I'm with you, Scot...

…………………………… Toronto is WAY better than their record indicates and they are gonna be PISSED at how bad they got trounced in their last game (over 30 pts., I recall) and are gonna be revved up — sort of the way the Bulls went on a tear after Portland dismembered them at the Rose Garden…

I’m pretty sure that the Blazers will lose this one…

"Now with a non-provocative footer!"

by timbo on Dec 7, 2008 8:57 AM PST up reply actions  

They've lost two in a row by blow outs

I’m not sure why ya like Toronto so much, aside from Bosh they are the anti-Timbos— and even HE gets a ton of ‘too soft’ critiques.

Bosh is awesome, but the rest of the team is pretty weak and they’ve earned their bad record thus far. Calderon is good but he isn’t the normal super-quick PG that gives our slowpokes problems and he certainly won’t cause us problems on the other end. And then they got… nuthin’.

The wierdness of the start time and just the simple fact that home teams tend to win means we are never guaranteed this win, but we show much more of a bounce back tendency than the often blown out Raptors do and we match up really well with them at every position.

I’m surprised ya like ‘em is all. They SOFT, and you’d personally murder Bargnani if you were Canadian.

by Mortimer on Dec 7, 2008 9:05 AM PST up reply actions  

Bargnani plays Dirkball...

…………………… I have no problem with a Small Forward being 7’0", which is what Toronto has.

Oneal can still play and will play against the Blazers.

Bosh is the best PF in the NBA.

Calderon is on the short list of top PGs in the NBA.

Parker is nailing 3s at a 46.2% clip.

This is a really nasty matchup for the Blazers, and while they MIGHT win, it strikes me as far more likely that they won’t.

Toronto is just getting home from a road trip in which they had to parade around butt-naked in front of the rest of the league — their coach canned and their team torched. They are going to be PISSED and the Blazers are in their way. Bad timing.

I think he quits midway through the 2nd quarter, because if Nate is anything it is a quitter.

He'll make Sergio rub his feet too.

Or does he not hate Sergio anymore? I forget which PGs he has homoerotic crushes on, and which he is just jealous of how much of a better player they are than he was. It’s one or the other with that guy!

Nate is gonna wear those glasses with a drawing of open eyes on the lenses so he can just take a nappy poo behind them. L to the A to the Z to the Y.

During the last open mic segment ESPN did during the Boston game, Nate just did one big yawn the whole time. It made everyone else yawn too, because they are contagious. AND SO IS A QUITTER’S ATTITUDE, NATE.

He looks adorable in his nightcap he’s started to wear while coaching though, and his Jarrett Jack bobblehead he sleeps with (it keeps away scary Spaniards from haunting him at night). He takes it every with him now, even the bath! It’s gotten so grimey and dirty I wanna take it from him when he’s taking a nap to wash it (seriously, it’s filthy) but he starts to wake up when I try to move his arms to grab it. He has such a tight grip on that thing, and for how much he sleeps during games he’s a pretty light sleeper.

The segment before he just yawned into his mic, he was reminding his players what the point spread was and not to mess this up for him. Real professional, Nate.

hey guys

finally a game i can watch comfortably. it’s going to start at 7 PM in central europe. and i’d appreciate it if someone could give me a link…
game thoughts: the raptors just don’t know what they are doing lately. bosh is awesome as always, but the o’neal experiment didn’t work out as planned (just like with us… :( ) and now they are trying to create aother plan, because the ‘twin towers’ thing didn’t go as well as they planned. and apart from bosh, everyone has one skill at which they are good at: calderon is great at distributing and sometimes scoring, but nothing else, parker is a good defender and nice long shooter but nothing else, bargnani is a nice shooter but nohing else, and o’neal can collect injuries like he gets paid for them but nothing else.
in theory this ould mean that portland gets the easy win. i really really hope oden has a great game, he’s my favourite blazer… and there are some strange similiarites between teh players in both teams: frye and LMA are both like bosh in a way (though not as good […yet?]), blake is a typical ‘pass-first’ guy who can shoot well, and so on… of course, there is a guy called brandon roy, who does multiple things better than most raptor players combined.

by Zaron5551 on Dec 7, 2008 9:09 AM PST up reply actions  

Their frontcourt is pretty talented

Bargnani’s no Roy, as we learned a few years ago. But he’s pretty good, and could create a mismatch against Webster if they ever match up. I think JO could get some easy buckets if our Center has to help on Bosh.

Most likely, whoever is guarding Parker (Roy) will be used to double in the post to get the ball out of Bosh’s hands. Then the challenge becomes rotating before Calderon can find the open man.

by rmcdougall on Dec 7, 2008 9:10 AM PST up reply actions  

Bargnani is taller than anyone else

But his ONLY good games happen when he gets hot from outside. He doesn’t take advantage of his height by posting up or anything like that.

That’s why they kept trying to force him to be a Center last season, because he at least spread the floor on offense and was tall enough to grab a ball next to him… but he was too weak to guard real centers and too streaky to be worth it on offense. And as a SF, he’s waaaaaay too slow to guard anyone and a SF can keep up with him on the perimeter defensively more than a center can.

He’s just hitting his jumper more this year, it looks like… or maybe not, his numbers ain’t too different.

Of course, since I don’t expect Webster to be ready for us to take advantage of Bargnani, we don’t have SF we go to to really take advantage of a matchup (Outlaw can get hot but it doesn’t matter who guards him when he does… it’s totally Outlaw dependent).

by Mortimer on Dec 7, 2008 9:16 AM PST up reply actions  

Outlaw is the independent variable

Bargnani exists in a world slightly outside the NBA archetypes. I think he could take advantage of some situations with his height and decent athleticism, but he just hasn’t learned to yet. Obviously, Dirk would be a good example of someone to learn from.

by rmcdougall on Dec 7, 2008 9:20 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah

I even thought Bargnani would be better eventually… and maybe he will.

And I guess I prefer him as a SF offensively than a center, where he is useless… though he should be a PF where he can try to be more Dirky, but just doesn’t have the allround game that Dirky has.

Being 7 foot and able to shoot means less and less these days… I blame 9/11.

by Mortimer on Dec 7, 2008 9:22 AM PST up reply actions  

Shav learned alot about how to play NBA PF from Chris Webber

That was who he was “assigned” to as a rookie…

Really made a big difference, and was in itself a good enough reason in hindsight to forego the final year at Duke…

by LetsBlaze on Dec 7, 2008 9:24 AM PST up reply actions  

I think Shavlik

Would do well in a Webber mold. Pretty good passer, physical rebounder. If Shav were to just get a little better in every way, you’d end up with a Webber type of player.

I don’t think Bargnani would fit in a Webber mold, he’s just not that type of player. Dirk is one example, but I kinda don’t see a similar player that Bargnani would really fit the mold of.

I was in Ithaca for a winter

But just one, so I never got to the point where I was sick of it.

One time I drove from Seattle to Portland during one of our worst (for us) snowstorms and it was fun because no one else was on the freeways and it was like a post apocalyptic landscape and I could pretend I was roaming the earth searching for gas.

Took me 7 hours to get home, but it was fun.

I think Bargnani

is the worst number one pick in recent memory. People bag on Kwame, and rightfully so, but at least he’s stuck around the NBA for eight or nine years contributing. Bargnani looks like a total flop. His PER and per-40 numbers are terrible…the only reason he’s even playing IMO is that Coangelo doesn’t want to admit that he totally blew that pick.

by BlazersOrBust on Dec 7, 2008 9:24 AM PST up reply actions  

He's fine as a role player

If ya just want a jump shooter SF who plays zero defense.

He’s either all the way off or all the way on, so I could see why Raptor fans hate him so much… #1 pick, not that good, either repays the faithful fans with a hot shooting game every so often and gives ammunition to the haters with a bad game every other time…

He almost NEEDS to be a PF to not hurt his team so much, because guarding an interior guy who doesn’t dwarf him physically like most centers do is the best way to hide him there, and he’ll still shoot the same way on offense.

You can understand why people make fun of him though, since he is so extremely soft and slow and was a #1 pick. But he’s certainly fine as a role player, and as a set jump shooter.

by Mortimer on Dec 7, 2008 9:35 AM PST up reply actions  

He's 7'0", which implies certain quickness limitations...

But I don’t have a problem with a 7’0" Small Forward if he can put up offensive numbers and catch some rebounds…

"Now with a non-provocative footer!"

by timbo on Dec 7, 2008 9:38 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, it's mostly about expectations

And that he will never, ever be able to play NBA defense so you’re always going to have to compensate for that.

If he is allowed to be just a role player, no one would hate him… why would ya? But as a #1 pick who was supposed to be a star, everything is colored by that.

He can shoot, and no one can take that from him… but no team will ever, ever have him as a starter and go deep in the playoffs without SUPERDUPERSTARS next to him because his defense is so abysmal. His offense isn’t good enough to warrant losing that perimeter defense.

Unfortunately, we don’t got a SF who can take advantage of it, but even their best defender (Anthony Parker) is extremely overrated in that regard so we don’t need to wish (for this game) to have a SF to take advantage of Bargs.

I just don’t think they stop Roy, LMA has played well against them, Joel and Oden dominate the boards, and they aren’t really a ‘revenge’ or ‘get angry’ type team.

BUT, it is a road game at 10am, so you never know. AND, Toronto can always get hot from outside. I won’t be able to watch live, so everyone will know before me if we fell into a trap or ended the trip strong (and thus don’t repeat the post-Boston malaise that happened last season).

(I think we’re a different team now, and the Raptors just aren’t good enough).

by Mortimer on Dec 7, 2008 9:47 AM PST up reply actions  

Are those seriously his numbers??

Wow. Should have checked this year’s stats before commenting. I was just extrapolating his lousy first two years into this year…eh. Maybe if he weren’t so damn European and annoying I’d like him more, but I can’t get past wanting somebody to punch him in the face every time he plays. I call it my “Okur reflex”.

by BlazersOrBust on Dec 7, 2008 9:30 AM PST up reply actions  

My favorite story

Is how Bargnani aced some stupid personality profile test showing he was the most supremely confident and unshakeable player to ever take the test and Colangelo made it a big reason why he drafted him… and then Bargnani goes on to be unable to handle the pressure and has confidence issues.

Just have faith.

I tuned in in the 2nd period with Portland down by 16.
 
I didn’t get worried we could lose until they hit that cold streak in the 4th. They got some good looks, but the shots didn’t go down. But Rudy on the boards and a little bit of Steve Blake and another Blazer win.

I love this team.

God. And hence it's not evil.

The problem is that he also made women smarter than us. We managed to handicap them for quite some time with the whole guilt over the apple thing. But now that they’ve wised up, we are toast.

I still manage to exert my manly dominance by refusing to wear the frilly French maid outfit. Unless of course my wife insists.

Oden had big block on Bosh.

He palmed it off backboard

But Bosh ended up hitting the jumper. How big could it be when they ended up scoring in the possession?

 No matter what Oden did there he got burned on the turnaround jumper by O’neal. But thank god for his prescence in the paint otherwise.

he was a lot more active than usual. he had some major blocks and offensive rebounds at key points in the game.

This trade meme thing

Fans should just chill. Stop calling for trades when players are having a bad performance. Travis Outlaw had a awful game but I don’t call for a trade.

by Balian on Dec 7, 2008 12:42 PM PST reply actions  

Travis has been terrible lately.

But I don’t see any pressing needs for this team right now.

I'm not calling for a trade

But once Martell’s back, wouldn’t be surprised if Travis does get traded.

His three point stroke looks great, but his decision making is still a work in progress. And that’s putting it kindly.

and then the clippers and kings? I see the Blazers further seperating themselves from the pack this coming week.

Gonna be tough catching LA.

They play Bucks, Kings twice and Minnesota this week. Only good team they face will be Phoenix. Only one road game. But you’re right about the rest of “the pack”. We should pull away a good bit.

Last possession: LMA vs Bosh

I felt the defense by LMA was good on Bosh. He managed to knock the ball loose from Bosh and it took him out of his rhythm for the last shot.

kind of reminds me of Brandon shutting down Joe Johnson in that close game last year.

Colonel Rondo and his second round armada? 

If Boston is determine to rebuild and cut salary isn’t two mid lotto pics and the right salary filler decent. Maybe not enough but better than what most teams get in that situation.  I would prefer that over the Chris Paul package.

I hope and figure that the Trail Blazers could have the best of both worlds. I’ve never seen a more bountiful 2nd round. Its conceivable that the team could deal both lotto picks and still find some nice players in the draft.  Players like Orlando Johnson, Lucas Nogueira, Kevin Jones, Will Barton are 1st rounders in most drafts even if its just based on hype and potential. Then you have some possible gems in such a deep draft like Machado, a couple guys that I personally like from Georgetown-their center Henry Sims and forward Hollis Tompson.  Both high upside players that I would love to watch in the summer league.  If PA were to ever buy into or trade into late first or second round now is the time. Give me Freeland, Diebler and four second rounders in the summer league with Rondo coaching.
