GAMEDAY OPEN THREAD: L*kers vs. Blazers

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News

Even with Brandon Roy likely out I feel a TON more energy surrounding this game than Tuesday's.  So let's DO IT!  It will for sure bring the Blazers lots of good fortune if we try and BREAK the BLAZERSEDGE RECORD for most comments in a Gameday Thread!  The non-overtime record is around 1150 set earlier this year in the Boston game.  The overall record was set last year and it was 1237 I believe.  Either way 1300 would break it and 1500 would ROCK!

However it only really counts if there are no spam-filler comments.  This has to be L*ker-game related basketball discussion before and during the game!  Otherwise it's cheap and invalid.

Can we do it?  It's a home game, which is probably going to hurt the in-game comments.  But then again it's the L*kers and that's always good for angrying the blood.

SOOOOOOOOO... register ALL of your pre-game predictions, in-game chatter, and post-game rants and raves right here!!!

GO BLAZERS!

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S. Dwight Jaynes has a column this morning about the future of this rivalry. He says it could be grim for the Blazers. I think maybe saying Bryant-Gasol could become a better tandem than Jordan-Pippen might be going a little far (especially when you factor in defense) but he's right that this could be a tough matchup for a while.

P.P.S. Not that this is a link thread, but while you're over there Kerry Eggers has what he says is the real scoop on that whole Blazers/Kidd/Harris thing. Plus there's a ton of stuff in there about Oden, Miles, and even some Knicks squabbling like little girls.

Redemption
Trout and LMA will come out strong and redeem themselves for their performance against the Clippers.  

by Philthyanimal on Feb 28, 2008 11:34 PM PST reply actions  

I have this feeling
that everybody is going to come strong.  We know we blew it on Tuesday.  We know that we basically crapped all over the floor on Wednesday even though we escaped with a win.  We're back at home now, we have the crowd behind us, we're tired of being in a funk, and it's the L*kers.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

--Dave

by Dave on Feb 28, 2008 11:36 PM PST up reply actions  

Funk is right ...
We've got to shake this off, and JJ is the man to do it. Even if it's only in a totem, good luck sort of way, James Jones could be the return to form specialist we need.
He's the ultimate pragmatist too, saying things like: My job is to go out there and drill shots.
If only Martell could take that to heart.
Both are great athletes, but one has tons of confidence, and it shows.

Prediction?
Blazers 104, L*kers 8

An interesting discussion to start with
What do you do to beat this Kobe-Pau version of the L*kers.  I've already mentioned everybody on our team coming with energy and scoring from about a billion places at once.  What else do you see as key?

--Dave

by Dave on Feb 28, 2008 11:37 PM PST reply actions  

Farmar
Farmar or whoever speedy guard they have will be key.  I know the Von is strictly an offensive specialist, but if he can 'slow' down penetrating guards I think I can accept him taking Sergio's rotation spot.  

Lol I just made that so I have to spam it a few times.  

by Philthyanimal on Feb 28, 2008 11:40 PM PST up reply actions  

kobe - pau
Pau is a great fit for their triangle offense but he is a minus defender. As Henry Abbott put it on Truehoop, he was making LMA look like Kareem in the 1st half on Tuesday. Kobe is a superstar, but he was flirting with foul trouble and is clearly inhibited by his pinky injury. I say we turn their strengths into weaknesses. Feed LMA in the post and run isos for Trout, and expose them for the defensive liabilities that they are, and hopefully get them in foul trouble and get them off the floor, or light them up.

Trout and LMA are the keys. They need to bring it on the offensive end and go for 40+. And they especially need to bring it on the defensive end and go for 15+ boards (which doesn't seem like a lot to ask from 2 forwards that will likely play 70 minutes between them, but it is)

James Jones would also be very helpful in slowing the doubles. Let's hope he plays.

by Bretski on Feb 29, 2008 12:04 AM PST up reply actions  

definitely
LMA needs to go right at pau...score on him or make him foul you and it'll muck up their offense on the other end

i'm curious how well a videogame unit with VFW, Martell, Trout, LMA, and Frye would do for a stretch...obviously probably not your primary lineup as it wouldn't do well against a press...but just for a wrinkle, run the offense through lamarcus and make them pay for doubling him with a bunch of guys who can hit the jumper...jury's still out on VFW but from yesterday's game he seems quick enough to play the 1 for a stretch as long as the offense isn't run through him...

by DominicanAvenger on Feb 29, 2008 1:02 AM PST up reply actions  

Martell
We've got to get Martell untracked.  Run some plays for him right off the start.  They'll be looking for us to go to LMA like last time, but if Martell is rolling, they can't possibly stop Aldridge.

They beat us despite good games from LMA and Outlaw, we need something more.  Jones is a good deep threat, but he's not going to single-handedly beat teams.  If Martell gets on a roll, he can kill someone, and it opens up things for everyone else.

It would help if Sergio would have one of his really good games, too.

I'm frequently right, but always certain

by jscot on Feb 29, 2008 4:08 AM PST up reply actions  

right on
about Martell. I'm thinking if he's hyped up and feeling good about his offense right off the bat it might help his D too.

Shooting Guard experience from the last few Games
If Brandon Starts tonight, Marty will bring a bit more drive to the Small Forward position. Marty handle the ball well in BRoy's absence. I think it was a valuable learning opportunity for him.

Be interesting to see
What Baron Von Wafer's minutes will look like toningt. I was suprised to see Nate get him the ball late in a tight game like that against the Clips.

by JPop on Feb 29, 2008 12:02 AM PST reply actions  

LMA and the double-team
The Lakers slowed down LMA when they started doubling him.  Then the Clips took their cue from that and doubled from the first quarter on, causing LMA to struggle big-time.  Tonight, the Lakers will go to that early and often.  But I predict that LMA and the Blazers will be waiting for that.  

The bad news: no Brandon.  I'd trade three Joneses for one Roy...

but the hoopla over the team is ridiculous. Everyone is saying they are going to win it all, I think that's a little overkill. They're definitley in the mix but it's not like they're dominant like they use to be with Shaq back in the day.

Anything can happen between now and the finals.  Saying they are a lock to win it is a bit much, but at this point it's kinda scary that they are beating a lot of the elite teams without Bynum.

If anyone does top them it definitely will not be Kobe and Gasol.

the following things might cause me to reconsider:

  1. Gasol is out there locking up a point guard end line to end line.
  2. They win 7 rings.
  3. Jay-Z name-checks Gasol in a song.

Until one of those 3 things happens, they carry no weight.

Pippen just doesnt get the respect he deserves. Its like people forget his mvp-worthy season when MJ went all baseball.  Thats what I loved about Pippen, he could have been the man on any team if he wanted too, but he knew if he stepped behind Jordan and did all the little things for him, they would win championships. And boy did they!

If Pau gets nominated as one of the 50 greatest players ever, I might start to consider it.  But right now they are about 6 rings and 72 wins shy of that comparison...

Kobe-Shaq isn't even MJ-Pippen
And Kobe-Gasol is NOWHERE close to Kobe-Shaq.  That is just ridiculous.  Gasol is not that good of a player, doesn't anyone remember that?  He's strictly OKAY; decent scorer, can block shots, but sucks at defense and not all THAT good.  He is good, but not much more than, say, a more team oriented Z-B0.

And how long have the Lakers been together?  Not even 15 games yet?  And we've already given them 6 championships and all time great status?  My STARS that is premature.

For how we match up in the future, I do this in my head:
LMA better than Gasol
ODEN better than Bynum
ROY is someone I'd rather have over Kobe

I don't think we got that much to be worried about.  The West has better front offices than the horrible East, so there will always be good teams here.  That's fine.  Oden, Roy, and LMA together is insurmountable, especially if KP applies his magic towards good role players.

I prefer the stupid ugly Lakers to be good when we're good, so it means more to beat them.  Even so, we're gonna be better.  That's obvious to even a dumb baby.  If Jaynes really compared them to the Bulls, he needs to focus less on Nate calling timeouts in decided games because he isn't paying attention to the NBA game we follow.

I've never been worried about anything less in my entire life.

The Blazers are going to have play like the playoffs are on line tonight (because they are).  Lose this game and your even farther out but a win gives you confidence and makes Golden State and Denver worry.  It will be very hard without B. Roy but if they hustle and scrap (and hammer Kobe's bad pinky) they can do it if Aldridge dominates like he did Tuesday's 1st half.  We need James Jones' shooting touch in the worst way tonight!

Going to the game
Since I'm gonna be at the Garden tonight, I should probably do my part in this record-breaking effort before having to head over there.

As to Dave's question, I think the only way to beat the L*kers is to make Kobe beat you.  That sounds strange, but I watched them play last night, and their best moments come when everyone is sharing the ball: Odom and Pau have excellent court vision for big men, Kobe creates opportunities for Vujacic [sic?] and Fisher, and the bench - especially Farmar and Turiaf - become energized by their involvement on offense.  They look a lot like the Blazers of December at this point.  If McMillan & Co. can find a way to limit the contributions of everyone but Kobe and perhaps Pau, the Blazers will have a chance to slow the tempo and limit LA's possessions (and thus their number of easy points).  This might be the only way Portland can beat them.  

Oh yeah, the Blazers will have to shoot lights out, too.  Paging James Jones?  Steve Blake?  Martell?

by SabonisFan3386 on Feb 29, 2008 12:32 PM PST reply actions  

I agree with this strategy
I hate to admit it here but I watched that game last night also, for awhile. Most of the second quarter on and off through most of the fourth.

One memorable play (that will stay with me, darn it) was the outlet passing for a fast break, to a twisting K*be in mid air, on to a contested Luke Walton throwing behind his back in mid air, for the slam dunk. Don't need none o' dat tonight.

If Aldridge and Martell both but if 25 or more while be efficient from the field.  That means they didn't each take 20 shots to get there.  Then we might have a chance, but what's the likelyhood of that happening?

I think if the Blazers play with the same energy they played with against the L*kers last week, and Jarret plays like he did against the Clippers they could beat them without Roy. The crowd needs to be tough, like big boos everytime the Whiner touches the ball.

DAVE COMMENTED ON A LAKERS FORUM
I think that Dave fancies himself all Hollywood now and wants to hang with "the best team in the West".  For shame, Dave, for SHAME.

The most unfortunate thing about Forum Blue and Gold is that the posts aren't bad and the fans seem knowledgable about the Blazers and the NBA in general.  Where are these people in LA?  The only Laker fans I meet down here are knuckle dragging front runners.  Could my innate biases towards Laker fans be tainting my opinion of people I meet down here?  NEVER, I am perfect.

It'd be a lot nicer if the posts were more like "LAKRES #1 KOBE BABBY HES TEH BEST PLAEYR IN THE WORLD BYNUM >>>>>>> GREG OLDEN REFS HATE KOBE HE NO DONT GET SUERSTAR CALS!!!111lol"

Brian Grant stood tall
I know what you mean tween. When Karl Malone split BG's lip, there was no hesitation, Grant went right into Malone face-to-face without any fear. He was Maurice Lucas' temperment away from going Darryl Dawkins on.

Sometimes I think the team is so replete with character and class, that they dont know how to respond to the antics guys like Kobe, Garnett, and the likes attack with. Shameful as it may seem, those guys have gotten into our guys heads, and it has made a difference in the outcome of the games. Intimidation is not a PTB strength, having said I couldnt have more respect with the conduct of our players.

I dont want to suggest the team is soft, but it seems were missing the guy who will do something about it.

My 2 Cents
I'll be at the game so I figure I better get my two cents in now.  I have always hated the l*kers.  Not sure why but I have a few ideas on the current squad rolling in to the rose garden tonight.

1.)  Self Righteousness.  This starts with the head honcho (KB).  Perfect example is Tuesday's game.  he goes for a sweeping layup and is blocked by LMA.  The replay shows that it was COMPLETELY clean.  He immediately turns and starts piping off to the ref.  As a basketball player myself, i find this kind of thing embarrassing.  I'm sure at some point in his career he was a stand up baller but somewhere along the line, maybe in a hotel room in colorado, he lost his way.  This is kind of obvious self righteousness.  What really makes me hate the l*kers is the fact that this rubs off on EVERYONE on that team.  I'll give Sasha a pass because he's from Europe but guys like Odom & Farmar are brutal when it comes to jawing at the refs after every single play.  

2.)  Large Media Markets.  Of which Los Angeles is the largest, maybe second to NYC.  Why is it that LA gets two teams?  Can they at least have a second arena like NY / NJ???  As soon as the Fakers traded for Pow all I heard for the next week was how they were the next NBA Dynasty.  They  may be the team to beat right now in the NBA but they have done absolutely NOTHING.  Dallas won a ton of games last year and how far did they make it in the playoffs?  Don't get me wrong, the l*kers will win their share of games this year but as the great Dennis Green once said, if you want to crown em, CROWN EM!  WHEN the blazers win their first championship with Oden, there will be a parade in the streets of Portland and it will be a zoo.  Being in a smaller media market is what will make the championship that much better!  Los Angeles is a joke.  Wait, that might be my next point.  

At this point, I'm just venting.  I'll be at the game tonight in my season ticket seats (310).  I don't plan on being able to talk tomorrow after Booing KB for 4 quarters so loud that he can hear me from the upper deck.  Go Blazers.

Every player they have ever had or will ever have is my leas favorite person. Imagine, an entire team of football players being my least favorite person.

Gotta start earlier.
It takes a lot of good will in order to have free reign on basketball nights. Try giving up football and baseball for the whole season. Then it won't just be a general sports thing, but a deep and fiery passion for something in particular. Watching "Sleepless in Seattle" during the football playoffs will show her how much she means to you, and give you enough good will to watch the Blazers all season long.

True.
But not knowing Sixth at all, we don't know if this is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back or not. Only he knows if he is close to doing that or not. Nonetheless, if he is looking for a strong relationship with this girl, then discarding her needs can only hurt. It may take more kahunas on his part to not watch the game. Relationships are built on more than just two people hanging out together. It takes real compromise, and forgiveness,  to make a long-term relationship happen. Without these, you might as well give up now.

Of course, if Sixth is not really looking for a long-term relationship, this would be a good opportunity to begin and end.

Either way, it looks like it's going to suck for him. Sorry man. You have my sympathies.

The Sideways Manute lost much of its humor for me. :(

"It is of little concern to Mr. Bol that his financial donations of millions of dollars left him so broke that when a car accident in 2004 left him in a coma, former teammates had to rally to raise funds to cover his medical bills.

Mr. Bol had entered a taxi -- stretching himself sideways across the back seat to fit -- that was being driven by a drunk man. Mr. Bol was not wearing a seat belt and during the crash injured several limbs and suffered a broken neck. He stayed in the hospital for about six months, leaving him with almost insurmountable debt."

Haven't seen him enough this year
to fairly comment.  He's very big and pretty quick for his size.  He very well could develop into a prime-time center.  Having Kobe on his team will always help open up things for him too.  However part of it is the natural tendency to assume your player is going to make every step forward possible, writ large because he's in LA.  If he were a Milwaukee center people would still be watching him closely but there wouldn't be the same assumptions league-wide.

Checking the box score
this is exactly the recipe for winning.  Kobe scores 40 but nobody else steps up.  We have a 5-pronged attack and it's too much.

We won't win EVERY game against them like that because sometimes Kobe really does win it all on his own but we'll win our share.

That is their + / - rating
It tracks how the team's scoring went up or down while they were in the game.

For instance if Travis is +6 it means that the Blazers ended up 6 points farther ahead of where they were in the minutes he played.

If Jarrett is -6 it means the Blazers lost 6 in the time he was in.

It's an attempt to correlate individual with team performance.

From watching him in college and in the summer, its been the most persistent problem he's had.

They've been extremely complimentary to the Blazers all game, though, particularly about Roy, LMA, and Outlaw. Every time Outlaw hit a shot they raved about him.

One LAST NOTE
We were hot tonight, but I think it's clear that the Lakers are not good defensively.  Maybe that changes when Bynum comes back, but their defense is probably not gonna win them the playoffs.

It's hard for me to not be biased when analysing their chances, of course, so I could be wrong.  They can score with anyone, and efficiently, but their D is weak.  Duncan will destroy Gasol.  As will Boozer, Dirk, Amare, etc...

by Mortimer on Feb 29, 2008 10:43 PM PST reply actions  

I agree
We got to the rim a lot more than we've been used to tonight.  It appears that the L*kers will be able to score with anybody, but who knows if they'll be able to stop anybody.  With luck, they can't.  Just look at how good LaMarcus has looked against Gasol.  Big men, the L*kers are your new favorite opponent!

Gasol is too soft
to be a legit NBA center in the kind of defensive, halfcourt game that you see in the playoffs.

Bynum is much more suited to that role and will be the starting 5 when he returns. The real question then becomes how will Odom and Gasol coexist?

Stephen A. Smith is commenting on ESPN on how the L*kers are the team to beat this year.  He's right (he's simply repeating what others have already said), but he's still a schmuck.  At least he mentions that the L*kers lost to Portland tonight.

Hey Dave!!!!
We may not hit 1500, but we're just a few away from 1400!!!!

Why on this green earth was a jump ball called when J.Jack clearly had possession in that one play when he was being snuffed by 3 Fakers? What was THAT about? Could the officials not decide what foul to call so they called that instead? Anyone?

We're going to WIN...in RIP CITY! Well, the lights are bright! In the town tonight!

The refs
Have to at least make an effort to help the Lakers win, or they'll get in trouble from the Commish'.

by Mortimer on Feb 29, 2008 10:50 PM PST up reply actions  

the funny thing was
jack didn't go for the jump, he just stepped back and odom tip the ball right to him. that was great.

by spikex on Feb 29, 2008 10:58 PM PST up reply actions  

But you can't just
tuck the ball into your chest and sit there, which is what Jack did.
You'll notice that the next time he didn't do that, and he got the foul call.

Embarrassing to admit
that someone reached around you ad claimed equal possession of the ball. The classic Dr. Octopus ploy.

Yup
That's part of D. Stern's STRATEGERY.

They fixed it
Now if only they can fix the recap that says only Joel got a technical in that little spat.
Both Oden and Oprah endorsed Obama. Should we be concerned?

by GustyJ on Feb 29, 2008 10:56 PM PST up reply actions  

Truly scary
was that the Blazers managed to achieve victory with only 4 minutes played by Von Wafer.

Had he played 20 minutes or so, the game would have been over by halftime,

Let's not forget
ONE MORE WIN AND WE'VE TIED LAST YEAR'S WINS.  BY THE BEGINNING OF MARCH!!!

I'd love to see us make the postseason, but you gotta admit, getting a better record than last year is gravy.

by DonkeyShins on Feb 29, 2008 10:56 PM PST reply actions  

1400?
It was that Laker Sasha Vujacic character that called the jump ball before the refs did! Grrrr!

The thread that may break all records for posts
Like, 2000 posts, will probably be the April 2nd road game or the April 8th home game-- especially if we're in the playoff hunt still.  With the Rockets losing Yao and the Nuggets and Warriors prone to droughts, anything is possible...

I wanna cut this game up with a razor and snort it!

by Mortimer on Feb 29, 2008 11:00 PM PST reply actions  

amazing
So much that wasn't the previous month.  Cannot talk beyond primitive.  Have been shocked to nether-regions.  Jack- wow.  Does the presence of James affect...lack effect? Vs? I failed grammar in school, y'all answer that. GOOD LORD.  Praise and all that.  And I'm an atheist.  
The Crowd helped, but had it been silent, the same outcome would have occurred, you could see it.  Turn this season once again lads- though be sure of the same use of patience like tonight. Great Win.

I said that it was about least inspiring win I had ever seen. This one was the polar opposite!!! Wow..Go Blazers!!!

Phil Jackson says it's the rain
that makes the Lakers lose here.  Sweet!  We've got plenty of that during the basketball season.  And here I was bummed that the rain started back up again.  

by Section323 on Feb 29, 2008 11:23 PM PST reply actions  

That was the most fun game I've ever been to
Who cares that the Lakers don't take this rivalry as seriously as we do (as they said over on the BlueandGold blog, everyone hates the Lakers)

It was still awesome to see the December Blazers back.

Alfredo
thanks for those calls to Pau.
Don't forget to keep it up next time we play.

Section 323!
How was the energy of the crowd?  I got the local LA broadcast and they didn't focus on the crowd for obvious reasons.  I expected to hear the Rose Garden more, as I can't imagine it being anything short of chaotically raucous at a Friday night home game against the Lakers.

It was the best game you've seen, was it the best crowd too?

A couple years ago I had a seat at the very last row at the back of the garden, directly behind the basket.  Pretty crappy seats, but I didn't care.  It was a double overtime (triple maybe?) end of the season game against the Lakers, and Sheed and Damon kept hitting big 3's.  The energy and cheering was awesome.

(That was the game they passed out Bill Walton dolls and people threw the dolls on the court after a bad call)

It was good
Although I would guess that 25% of the crowd was cheering for the Lakers.
On the postgame show they said this game sold out ages ago, before the streak, so a lot of Laker fans snuck in there.

Huge cheers for JJ33.

As the game went along and we were still in it and still in it, the Blazer fans got louder and louder (the Laker fans were still loud, too, which was just weird)

Many chants of BEAT LA, often spontaneous- not prompted by the scoreboard.

People around me were even saying nice things about Jack, and they HATE Jack.  Good times.

What will be the future of our Blazers. Just a few seasons ago, the Blazers were going to be the OKC of the NBA but injuries to Roy and Oden crippled our dreams of a young championship contender for years and years.

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.
