Is tonight's game
going to be on 30-minute delay online again? No big deal I would just like to know so I don’t have another break down.
I hope the game isnt delayed
thanks jksnake for flagging me, now Im really on thin ice.
My biggest dissapointment was not getting to see everybodies favorite commercial.

Hmm
Flagging someone just for the fun of it. That’s not very nice. Perhaps we should flag this so Dave can review it.

I give up benefit of the doubt on this one
considering I spoiled the outcome on the delayed thread, which I completely over-looked.
I probly deserved it. Im sorry for ruining it for anyone, wasnt my intention.
It was weird watching the game and thread wondering why neither seemed in sync.
Your off the hook bro. Now Ratbastard wanted to kick my in the shins…. thats really mean.
I give myself a flag.

You can’t flag yourself. I tried it to see. (yes, my life is that empty)

Back in the day, I used to flag myself all time.
I don’t like to brag. But I flagged myself so much one time, that I pulled a muscle and had wrap it in an ACE bandage.

I was going go over to SacTown and talk some smack like I was in the WWE with a lot of huffin’ and puffin’ and tell them that we were gonna lay the smack down on them, but I wasn’t sure where to put it. Listen up jabroni’s because Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson are going to foul out in 10 minutes from our guards attacking them like The Hardy Boyz against Edge and Christian in a ladder match. Do you smelllllll what the Monty is cookin’?

What to watch for in tonight's game
Bayless
He did a great job of using the high pick and roll. He was too quick for the bigs to jump out on and drew at least 3 or 4 fouls trying to turn the corner. When he was playing PG, he was definitely still looking for his shot. Couple of times no one on the team even touched the ball while he drove to the basket early in the shot clock. Look for more patience and playmaking as a PG. Sactown also has a better frontline rotation, Bayless may not get to the rim as easy so he may need to rely on his jumpshot more. Also on defense he is matched with Quincy Douby, a speedy combo guard, watch if Bayless can stay in front of him.
PetKo
Pick and rolls. Pick and rolls. Pick and rolls. Watch him play off the pick and roll and deliver some tasty passes. Also look for him to be more confident shooting over 6’0 Sean Singletary. He did a great job of keeping his body in front of Dee Brown, let’s see him do it again.
Batman
Anything he does today would probably be an improvement over yesterday’s debut. Hopefully his bruised ribs won’t affect him. Seems very raw on offense, but if Blazers push the tempo, I expect him to flourish in a up and down track meet. His fun to watch on the defensive end because that’s where he is more active.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
I would say that
Blatche trumps at least SHawes on the defensive end. From the recap of the first Sacto game it sounds like Thompson is not much of a low post defender either.
Should be interesting watching Bayless blow by Douby all night long.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

How does bacon get more votes than free beer?
"We're just one big family. And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved." - Jason Mraz

Bacon is like the best food ever, and wouldn’t you rather eat than drink?

Bacon is just an accessory or a garnish
Beer can be the main course. Check out #8.
"France is a place where the money falls apart in your hands but you can't tear the toilet paper" - Billy Wilder
When in doubt, consult Homer
Homer provides two equally compelling arguments. One one hand he tells Bart, ””Son, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you’d step over your own mother just to get one! But you can’t stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!”
On another occasion he remarks “mmmmm…. bacon”
Tough call.

leave it to homer
to give spot-on insider analysis in the hierarchy of foods and bevs.
My vote is for Beer btw, because, as Ben Franklin points out, beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. Bacon?- just proof that you are what you eat.

Free Beer is GROSS!
Beer vs. Bacon – probably closer (though I still pick bacon, as there are more substitutes for beer than there are substitutes for bacon).
FREE BEER? It’s just not good, generally, unless you have really rich friends or attend fancy parties (which I don’t).
BAD BACON IS BETTER THAN MOST FREE BEER.
It’s like the old golfer’s saying: A bad day on the course is better than a good day at work.
The four levels of beer:
1) Always cheap, but not worth even that.
Your most-free-beer-sucketh observation is the extreme form of this.
Examples of “Always cheap, but not worth even that”: Most top-selling corporate beers.
2) Sometimes cheap, sometimes not cheap; worth it only when cheap.
Funny, but beer that’s worth it only when cheap is occasionally expensive.
There’s no real examples of “Always cheap and worth it when cheap”, with the possible exception of PBR.
(In fact, PBR is the one beer that kinda misses these four categories; goodness knows it IS “always cheap.”)
Conversely, some stuff in Category 2 might be worth it when expensive, if only it were never cheap;
that is, the fact that they’re sometimes available cheap makes them hard to buy at more than $4.50 a pint.
Examples of “Sometimes cheap, sometimes not cheap; worth it only when cheap”:
Anything not in Category 1 that’s available at the Marathon Taverna on West Burnside & 18th.
Most Deschutes, Laurelwood and Bridgeport offerings are in this class, particularly the sub-class of
“Might be worth it expensive if it weren’t occasionally cheap.”
3) Always expensive, but never worth it.
These are beers that would be worth it if they were occasionally cheap.
In other words, beer that should be in Category 2, but has some weird undeserved reputation for being superior.
The prime example of “Always expensive, but never worth it”: Guinness. Also, Stella Artois.
4) Always expensive, always worth it.
This is why Oregon is the best: Tons of Category 4 beer.
Examples of “Always expensive, always worth it”: Anything and everything at the Horse Brass, on Belmont & 45th.
The entire portfolio of Rogue (except for Dead Guy Ale, which is thankfully Category 2 instead of 3),
Hair Of The Dog, Caldera, and Terminal Gravity breweries, plus pretty much all the winter beers in Oregon.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
Anybody that slags off on Guinness has lost all cred. Sorry and thanks for playing.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
Try Guiness
In Ireland, or anywhere in the UK and you’ll see why it’s awesome. Also, Caffrey’s is another good one you can’t get here. I also like Lieneinkugels, Newcastle, and Yuengling, as my “everywhere” beers.

PKo'
Looks big on my big screen, like a good sized pont guard. Seems to move his feet against the quick PG’s he was matched against last night. He is showing some signs that his defense won’t be a liability.
If he continues to show he can handle them, he will be invited back in October.
Sergio does not stay in front of anybody. Plus PK can make a LONG outside shot (or 3) in the clutch! Also saw a nice tear drop shot.
Let’s see more of the same tonight!
The Oden Era, Day 384
For all the good reasons
When I say PetKo is “like” Ainge, I mean his size, his game, his shooting range, etc
Don’t read into it any more than that (PK’s not “whiney” and annoying like Ainge was with Boston back in the day, etc)
Unfortunately, Ainge was like that when he was a Blazer too. Ugh.
"Besides, AnntheFan will be here any minute to #25 you." T Darkstar
Actually
it was the “annoying” of the guys he was guarding last night that made me think of Ainge. Always on the move, making a pest of himself on defense. I love that.
Of course I have always been biased toward point guards (with some exceptions) so something like the gnat-like defense, the humor he showed when that loooong three went in unexpectedly, and his total cuteness, have made me into a staunch PeKo fan. I will even confess to saying, “good-bye Sergio” last night. He traded GO’s good friend, so I imagine trading Sergio is now on KP’s mind.
"We will do nice things!" - Rudy, 07/01/08
I mentioned in another thread that it wasn't his play that made me dislike
Ainge, it was his personality and his body language. When he whined he looked just like a very large rodent with all his features scrunched distressingly into the middle of his face, and he whined a lot. I was unable to look past what I considered his flaws to acknowledge his skills, most of the time. People’s tastes differ, I guess. The good news is we agree on Petteri. I thought he did very well in yesterdays game and I really, really want KP to keep him. Also, he’s a pretty cute kid.

by Blindsteepler on Jul 15, 2008 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions
sorry for the self-commenting,
but I just wanted to point out that I do realize Ainge made the decision to stay or go instead of anyone (including PA) and Ainge headed for the hills on the first day that he could. Still, I would’ve kept him… (doesn’t anyone remember his record 9 pts. in overtime during the Bulls in the ‘92 finals??!?)
by Blindsteepler on Jul 15, 2008 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions
If I may
I do see some similarities between the two, mainly in the brattiness/grit department. Ainge wasn’t as athletic or quite as quick as Bayless; Ainge might’ve been a better outside shooter: we’ll see. Certainly, Ainge was a very smart player who knew how to maximize his effectiveness on the court both physically and psychologically. It remains to be seen if Bayless has that dimension to his game.
Whatever—I do like the guy, T. rex arms and all.

Danny Ainge huh?
First impression last year brought visions of Bobby Sura in my head (must be becasue he was playing off guard).
But now that you mention it (again), I think you’re on to something with the similarities to a Danny Boy. For sure on looks. A regular Richie Cunningham too. Ehhhhh!

I require assistance from someone who knows more about computers than
I can claim. When I watch a game on NBA.com it grabs my monitor and I lose the cursor and access to anything else I’ve got going on. The monitor is hooked up to my laptop and the game is opened in a window of it’s own on the laptop. The question is, what setting, if there is a setting, can I change to keep the game window from taking over my monitor?

try turning on
mirroring so that the external monitor just shows the same thing as you laptop monitor
This does not seem like an ideal solution but maybe it will work
good luck

I wonder who we can get that way next year.
A reminder that off-season cap space, when a team finally gets it, DOESN’T have to be used only on a free agent.
A team with cap space can shift that space (in the form of a trade exception) to another team
for a player already under contract and making a lot of money.
I kinda sussed that was the premise, but I didn’t KNOW it could work exactly like that until now.
Good option to know for a fact exists, going into next year.

Martellitis
Batum’s playing like a worse version of Martell Webster right now. He’s just hanging around outside waiting for passes, but unlike Marty, he just bricks his 3s.
Um
Martell’s job is to set up on the arc/perimeter and to be ready to hit that outside shot… saying someone is worse than Martell at this makes it sound like Webster sucks at some of the skills that he is needed for… or does hitting 123 from behind the arc and leading the team in makes = a bad thing?

Bayless can absolutely fill it up
and he’s a man, not a boy. He’s going to get stronger and get better at finishing. He will be real hard to defend off the bench.
Koponen is facing some good pressure from Singletary, that’s true, but you’d hope for better. That’s asking a lot, but I think it’s asking for the right thing.

.................... Blazers dropped $3 million for the draft pick to take Petko. So it’s not like they want to wave goodbye to him and get nada.

You’d think, but there’s no evidence of that. The Blazers see draft picks as rolls of a dice, so they’ve already gotten what they paid for.

That's funny
Karl says they’ll be trying a new defensive scheme. I wonder if he knew this was coming. Of course they have to try a new scheme if they lose the guy that plays defense.
Denver sees Oden coming and throwing in the towel

I am really hoping this guy gets a spot on some NBA team this year. He works hard and knows what to do when he’s on the court.
Petko
I am seriously worried about his ball handling. Maybe he is a little too big for pg???

There have been 91 shots attempted in this game. There have been 62 personal fouls. That’s a horrible ratio. And keep in mind that’s not counting offensive fouls.

Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."

And if Bayless had a couple seasons under his belt already
like JJ, he’d own this game.

Called it
And where was the and one?!?
The entire Blazers contingent of media row is up in arms.
Mostly because this could end up in overtime.
And we are now depending on defense?

Two more minutes of pseudo-NBA pseudo-entertainment!

Hey he was there
for the whole 15 innings! And we thought we had a marathon.

Easy gang, no suicidal actions
Now let Bayless and Petterri Koponen take over with some picks to get them loose.
They won't let it end.

Yeah man what is better than over time
I hate how these games are only 40 minutes. Oh well, now we get to see a game close to real NBA length.
Actually I take that back …2 minutes?
Maric drives?
who knew?

How has nobody gotten 10 fouls?
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
Man no wonder Greg Oden fouled out last year
You can’t even set screens in this league with out it being called for a foul.
That's the third time Petko has hung that terrible pass tonight...
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
Two very tired teams
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
yes nice play.
Finally some great team work, with the game on the line too. The ball movement was perfect.
double OT?
maybe they’ll set the summer league record for OT’s tonight.
Ben? Dave? You guys could be part of history!
im in my living room in my underwear
but if you want to call that making history i’m down

Back to depending on the defense
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
Or not

Say again?

shoot

Hi, new here
Just want to say that I think the Blazers will be an exciting team this coming season and I’m really looking forward to watching them. I got sucked in last year thanks to players like Roy and Aldridge, and now with Oden making his debut and Bayless very impressive so far in summer league action, I think they will be the team to watch. I do hope they add this Koponen kid to the roster.
Welcome

Hiya Maverick...
................................. Stop by any time.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
Bayless had his shot, missed it...
............................... I like that he took the ball.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
That hurts
Bayless got the best possible look and I’m pretty happy with that. Now he knows what he’s got to work on.
Marathon
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
Bayless just had a great learning experience
He did get open but could not convert. Next he will dig deeper and make it— I’ll bet on it.
Good interview
Bayless not cold now
Aldridge said. "We feel like we can beat any team. We feel like we can beat the Spurs, Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, whoever any night right now, and we'll still be here when those teams get old and their guys retire. We're going to be here for a long time."
He needs to carry a little stick in his pocket so he can reach his ear to adjust that...
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
What a one trick pony attitude toward a great new player.
It is real old already.
I guess it's better to lose in a summer league game than a regular season game
We wouldn’t even of had a chance if Bayless hadn’t hit that shot in the 4th. I think he his great elevation on his shot. I mean he really got up there on that last shot. I think next time he gets that shot it’s going in.
Hey you guys Jerryd
smiled in that interview. I still don’t know why some people are down on him. He has shown a loty of talent and will be a great addition to the Blazers.
I think KP will have to sign Koponen as he has too much talent to let him sign a contract in Europe for 4 yrs or more.
Emotion!
Losing makes Bayless mad. We need that.
Punk Rock and Basketball aren't mutually exclusive.
I don't think I can watch another summer league game.....good luck to Ben and Dave
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
Meanwhile
DJ Augustin has 30 pts over in the Charlotte-Golden State contest.
Oh yeah, he’s also got zero assists. Now I understand why he was touted as the best “pure” point guard in the draft.
Summer league rewards gunners...
.............................. not to mention the lack of targets to pass to.
"He shoots....................... he scores!!!"
