Gameday Open Thread: Suns vs. Blazers

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News Comment 446 comments

Shaq is back!  And he brought some new friends with him.  How do you think the guys from the Valley of the Sun will fare in the Drizzly Domain?  And how "up" are you for this game?  Is it still the same when the Suns come to town?

Register all of your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts right here.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S.  In case you missed it below, the Jersey Contest form for this game is right here.  I mistakenly left out one question so even though the points count for the March contest nobody can win an instant jersey for a perfect score tonight.  Apologies.

P.P.S. Be sure to check out the always-entertaining SBN sister-site BrightSideoftheSun for the Phoenix perspective.

Beautiful timing on the shaq trade...
I want the suns as confused and out of rythym as possible tonight.  What was Kerr thinking?
Rudy > MJ

by myemic23 on Mar 4, 2008 12:27 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

They'll sort themselves out some time
Don't let it be tonight.

Our big men should beat Shaq down the floor on many possessions.  If we push the ball up, that may be good for 4-5 easy baskets, which might make the difference.

I'm frequently right, but always certain

I think you're right...
if Portland doesn't run tonight, it's another "continuing to learn" game.

I want to see Joel
come out in the first quarter and shove the ball right into Shaq's face.

Shoots
BrightSideoftheSun had this quote about the Blazers: "They'll be waiting for the Suns with their "A"-game in hand."  From a past diary, someone pointed out that a player can bring his "A-game," and only give 90%.  I am concerned. I think the Blazers need to give at least 97% to win tonight.

We can beat them even if they play well
but we have to fight for the boards, they're rebounding very well laltely.
One problem is that I don't think our defense is good enough to force a lot turnovers out of Nash, he became a turnover machine but we'll probably give him a lot of freedom.

by Bruno on Mar 4, 2008 1:17 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Defensive Intensity
I think that JQuick's article might have hit on a nerve.  Hopefully, the players come out with some defensive INTENSITY.  I'd like to see either JJack or Blake foul out tonight.  Lets get physical with Nash and see how he likes it!!

**PS - this game isn't on KGW so we should be able to win.  

Go Blazers!

by TKEskippers on Mar 4, 2008 1:19 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Like the Warrior game...
This is another game where if we continue our decent play we got a chance to win, but if we play decent and still lose it isn't a bad sign.  Only if we look flat and lame for 48 minutes is a loss bad... even though we're on the road, we got a nice schedule this month and if we win a game against a team of this caliber it can really build some momentum.

Since this game is at home, and we got Roy and Jones, I like our chances.  It won't have the same emotions as when we play the Lakers, but the home crowd sell out should raise our intensity some.  I really think we can pull this game out, but it'll be tough.  We don't have the types to handle Nash well or make him pay on defense, nor the bigs to defeat both Shaq AND Amare.  Maybe one at a time, but both?  We can hope that Shaq fouls out in the first quarter or remembers he is 80 and karmic justice punishes him for being so rude to Sabonis and Sabonis' legacy when Sabas was old and broken.

If Shaq was more respectful to Arvydas, Shaq would still be a good player.  KARMA.

by hotstuffdb22 on Mar 4, 2008 2:26 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

If playoffs are going to happen
We have to win at least 17 of our last 22 games.  We more than 5 games left that will be tougher than this one.  For the playoffs this is a must win.

by tweener on Mar 4, 2008 3:33 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

No not.... really
It quite unlikely we finish the season 17-5.  Even if we do that.. Golden State & Denver would have to play .500 ball or worse for us to catch them.

I didn't want to waste a diary, either
http://www.journal-a-day.com/Sports/329023-great-nba-basketball-dunks.html

(Warning: a little bad language, in both senses of the word.)

Check out what happens when literal machine translation and the NBA collide! Choice phrases from the article:

"Steve Francis of the Houston Projectiles"
"Clyde Drexler, nicknamed 'Clyde the Semivowel' and Toronto Birds of prey star Vince Howard carter"
"These players employ their strength to dunk the ball with immense military force. They are the squad's 'big adult males'."
"Some of the NBA's famous power dunkers include Antonio Davis of the Toronto Birds of prey, Chris Webber of the Sacramento Male monarches, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Rasheed Wallace of the Portland Trail Sport coats."
"Jumping is another word form related with dunking, and the name most commonly referred [...] is that of the former NBA guard Potato Webb."

I propose that we rename Blazer's Edge to Sport Coat's Edge!

how can any true Trail Blazer fan not be pumped for this one? KJ alone provoked such animosity in my soul that will forever fuel the compulsion to will our team to victory every time we play these guys. Now yea, the Lakers top the list, but right behind is Phoenix.

Shouldn't we temper our loathing for other teams beyond that team we beat the other night?

The Blazers...
........................ are not only the worst fast-breaking team in the NBA, which is indisputable, but they are also among the worst at getting back on the fast break.

I'm not sure how you fix that. It's not something that comes up that often, but if that's an achilles heel (or and achilles leg-and-hindquarters, as in the Blazers' case), that sorta reduces your odds of playing with the Suns...

Is there a stat for allowing layins or uncontested dunks - cause we got to be setting records - forget needing scorers we need someone to play some defense......anybody.

Rice keeps saying Suns have had some practice and they look there best - jeez wonder if it has to do something with the team they are playing?

The 3 Pt. Shooters are passing out
In the bushes again
I'm glad I got my suit dry-cleaned
Before the riots started
Cuz there's only rehashed faces
On the Free Throw line tonight
Soon you'll be a figment
Of some infamous life
Billionaires smile like weapons
Passing out platinum pensions
They're out of control
No one knows how low they'll go
(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train
Those bra burning deportees
At the service station
They know that beige
Is the color of resignation
We're out of control
No one knows how low we'll go
(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train
Shining like crystal tiaras
Ghettoes are gray Rivera's
This is the real me ladies
You won't find a shelter here
Tell me, what's your zip code baby
Did you ever let a Blazer
Sit on your lap?

Okay, i know the problem
The ball is being denied because the hoop isn't feeling the love.  It needs to splurge a little and give the hoop some ice or something.  Maybe a poem and champaign.  If we all chip in during half time, I bet we could make this happen!

Oh, and it's not the stinking defense.  It's missing easy shots.

Yeah, Chuck called that...
......................... I was pretty pissed when he said the Blazers would be out of the money DURING THE STREAK, but he was really right about that. I think there is a lot of truth to the observation that winning teams do it in the paint, with power rebounding, driving the hoop, putting the ball back strong, fast breaking...

28 to 8 is the points in the paint margin for Phoenix tonight, which is almost exactly the game margin...

I said 8 points...
are we at 8 points yet?

I told you all we'd be coming back.

Team OK just has to say that we'll take the lead with no delay. We have the players to keep the pace and in the end we'll win the race.

I can...
.............dribble like a special olympian and throw up a  bad-looking ball off the rim with the best of them. It's Nate's big play with 5 seconds less, whereas most teams would pace the ball and look for a real shot.

The reason they caution about that...
