PrintSince I'm driving home after the recapping of the game Sunday evening and since that will take all night long, I am trying to stay up as late as humanly possible tonight, the better to sleep in and thus stay awake all night tomorrow. I am doing some writing, but in order to keep extra-alert I'm opening up this little chat post. I will keep the comment section open on my computer so it updates regularly. If there's anything you'd like to chat about, feel free to lodge a comment. If there's no response at all that's cool too. It's likely this thread will be deleted when I finally do head to bed anyway.

Well...
I just got back from seeing the new Batman movie. I generally hate to see a movie during its first blush of popularity (and this movie’s blush is a healthy shade of crimson at that), but my brothers dragged me along. It’s pretty darn dark (hence the name, I guess), but exceptionally well done. Certainly makes the sting of Heath Ledger’s unfortunate demise more acute.
Speaking of Dark Knight, how about that Jarryd Bayless coming to the rescue? From goat to glory in two quarters flat.
Yah
Some concerns about how or whether he’ll be able to adapt to a point guard role, but no concerns about his ability to put the ball and his head down and make stuff happen offensively. That was among the more impressive displays I’ve seen at Summer League ever.
My thoughts on that...
Essentially on this team Jerryd is Kobe Bryant before the Lakers picked up Gasol for a used socket set and Phil Jackson’s sixth grade gym shorts. The talent he’s surrounded with here pretty much negates his ability to truly demonstrate if he has sufficient PG skills to at least man the helm for short stretches. Last night we saw the same sort of reaction Kobe would have had when the game was on the line and no one else was responding.
You’re right about him being a head-down sort of scorer though, although last night I saw a lot more versatility. You mentioned he seems like a slow starter, but we’ve said the same things about Brandon Roy. The thing is that Roy isn’t a slow starter, it’s just that defenses are geared to stop him, and it takes him a while to figure out his attack. Perhaps that’s what we’re seeing with Jerryd in SL, since all the teams are basing their defenses around trying to stop him (and failing – miserably).
That's possible
but there were a couple times Bayless had options to pass during the game tonight-good options, and not during his critical scoring run either-that he just didn’t see. I don’t doubt he can adjust his game somewhat based on the guys he’s playing with, but when you compare him side-by-side to a natural PG like Koponen the differences are pretty evident.
Yeah
I saw that too. Koponen sees the angles on the floor. It’s like Jerryd can only see the crossword puzzle one direction at a time and Peteri is seeing it both ways. That may change as Jerryd becomes more comfortable with his teammates, or when he has better options to pass too. Aside from his lack of court vision, I think we’re also seeing someone who REALLY wants to win, and who REALLY knows that he’s the best player on the floor for his team. It’ll be interesting to see how he reacts when there are three or four other players on the floor he has to acquiesce to. (Yes, I fit in ‘acquiesce’ at 2:13 in the morning. You’re welcome Dave)
Agreed about Jerryd's passion and toughness
One of the things we’ll talk about more next week is that I don’t necessarily want the Blazers monkeying with Jerry’d game too much in the early going, trying to make him into something he’s not naturally. Players get ruined that way. There’s plenty of time to see if he’s a long-term solution at the point. For now let him come off the bench and score.
Do you see..
he and Outlaw being able to share the ball enough to be happy? We have to assume in the second unit Jerryd is going to be playing in the backcourt with either Rudy or Brandon, then there’s Outlaw doing his own head-down thing. Is Jerryd going to be happy deferring (which is the word I should have used, instead of ‘acquiescing’) to the players ahead of him in the rotation?
Does he have a choice?
There are PLENTY of shots to be had
on that second unit. The pace should be a little quicker than last season. Plus that group needed scoring SOOOO badly. I think there will be room for Rudy and Bayless both. Jack is gone. Blake doesn’t need to shoot unless it’s an open, stand-still three off the pass. Frye…meh. Joel better not touch the ball if it’s not an offensive rebound. Granted Bayless won’t be able to tear it up like he did tonight, but he’ll be able to get shots up in the minutes he does get.
And if Bayless truly ends up sucking as a playmaker
And being somewhere around Jack’s level, then Rudy will hopefully be good enough to get everyone the ball (and get his own as well).
At least we can be reasonably assured Bayless can SCORE, which on a team like ours where we don’t need much else, that’s nice.
I'll be happy...
If Bayless passes the ball to his teammates more than the other guys. That much at least will be an improvement over Jack…
(too soon again?)
I don't think
Bayless will have a selfishness problem. I just wonder how much he will see the passing angles or consider them practical.
I will tell you right now that he gets about 2.5 good games in the NBA before opposing teams back off of him a step and dare him to shoot or pass. He needs to be able to do both.
(Crossing fingers)
Well, before I had any clue we’d be able to get a dude like Bayless and only Rudy and Oden were being added, I felt we were set. Rudy seems to be a good playmaker, and I hope he continues to be that way in the NBA.
So if Bayless is limited, I’ll still lean back when my hands on my head and a piece of straw in my mouth and watch the sun set over other team’s chances at winning while blowing into my whiskey jug in my jug band.
This is true
I was happy with our team before bayless. Even as an upgraded JJ, I’m happy. I would like him to be able to develop into the point though. Otherwise we’re still weak at that position.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2008/columns/story?page=DraftDebate-080624
I'm betting...
that he never will be a pass-first type of point guard (duh), but if the Blazers keep their core guys together long enough within a year or two he’ll be good enough to keep defenders honest.
And, even though they were generally awful, the commentators of last night’s game were at least right in stating that Jerryd, at least most of the time, likely won’t have to be a true point guard, he’ll just have to see enough to make it where teams can’t double him all the time and not have to worry about him finding the man they’re sagging off of.
The Blazer coaches
will work on that shot form and technique and I expect within a year he will be deadly from outside.
I think
you’re wrong on Frye.
We’ll see.

dave
i was born n raised in NE Portland, Grant high grad. I always had love for my team and despised anyone who talked trash on them just because they smoked dope in a hummer, carried dope into an airport, held a large stash of dope in the house…etc.
The list is long and well documented, but I could always focus on the basketball and even the worst of our players attitude-wise could be lovable and huggable at times. We started chanting “Sheed!” before Detroit did. The best thing Bonzi ever did was that huge one-handed tip dunk—c’mon you know the one.
When I worked hawking foam fingers at the rose garden I remember meeting Bonzi’s mom. She was pretty tiny but very kind and had a twinkle in her eye. She BOUGHT a Bonzi jersey-tee shirt and program and said she couldn’t wait to see her son play.
The point of all this is, there are some great memories and moments in this team’s past that are often forgotten because they are considered the “dark years” or the “jailblazer” era. Being a homer and huge all round fan of Blazer basketball, I would never admit to being down on my team. I would never forgot the way I felt at the end of the 3rd quarter against LA in LA in that fated game 7. We were killin’ son. Without those heartbreakers, today’s squad wouldn’t be the same. I think it’s in spite of those crazy times that this basketball loving, basketball-knowing city became so riled that the universe just decided to give us more hope for the future than any other team.
So I beg you Dave and everyone else, don’t hate on the dark years because we needed them. What’s your fav dark year moment? Perhaps you could thread a compilation in tribute of the past and bury the hatchet once and for all. If this team were to go on and win a championship(s), the memoir’s happy ending will definitely better from our traumatizing hubris. Let’s not forget that part of of the story or we won’t tell it right. There’s my 18 cents. Love yall. PTOWN!

Ever played the game...

It’s this game where people sit in a circle (Dave, if you’ve done any kind of youth Bible camps you know this one), and one person picks someone to try and make smile by doing silly things. If that person smiles, then they have to take a turn.
Bayless, I can guarantee you, never had to try and make someone else smile.

I dunno for sure
But when it’s my own typing and not transcribing, I’ve been over 100 on the tests I’ve done.
Transcribing is much slower.
OFFICIAL PREDICTION:
Of the four point guards now (more or less) officially on our roster-Blake, Bayless, Sergio, Petteri-only one will still be with the team three years from now.
Let's say Bayless works out (as does Rudy)
Can’t Blake be the 3rd string type dude? 2nd/3rd type guy?
I’m assuming we’re doing a Roy/Rudy/bayless type deal…
Unless Blake is made the permanent 2nd-string (or starting) guard
I don’t think he lasts past next year.
I hate to say it
But I have this feeling Bayless might be our most likely to be traded player of our top talent.

Other blogs and writers
Don’t seem to be as worried about whether he’s a PG or not.
Judging from his 4 assists in college and what I’ve seen of his college game, I am definitely waiting till we see him with the starters for a year or so.
Like I said in other threads, all I want is a dude who can guard the opposing PGs for Roy and hit an open jumper.
By the 'other blogs and writers' line
I’m agreeing his value is high in the blogosphere without the handwringing we are (rightfully) doing.
True
But bloggers tend to get excited over stuff that may not translate. I was VERY impressed by how Jerryd took over that game and won it. I was not as over the moon as some, however.
Such is The Dave
You’re smart though, you wait to actually SEE what we need to see before getting excited about a kid.
What he did well, was score in bunches. Do we need that? Not necessarily.
He did seem like he defended reasonably well on quick PGs, but aside from that he didn’t really do the things we possibly look for in a PG alongside Roy—consistent jumper, co-playmaker ability, etc.
Scoring flashy style covers up a lot.
HOWEVER I think he can be the dude we want, I just completely agree we ain’t done n’ gone seen it yet.
The first part of that should be doable
I hope the second part also comes naturally.
Frankly I’d also like to see him drive on the Steve Nashes of the world and pound them into a pulpy mess.
Oh man
He’s gonna run circles around Nash, Kidd, who could stop him?
Douby is known as a good perimeter defender and Strawberry projects to be (at least was drafted to be) and Bayless went around them easy as can be. He is so damn QUICK.
And sooo strong for a 19 year old. Once he gets more NBA training under him, he’ll be a bull.
At the very least, he can score. I remain optimistic about the rest. Seems like a smart kid, and that’s so important when trying to adapt your game and find NBA success (especially if it isn’t your show to run).
Im worried about when the elite defenders are guarding him.
He seems to shoot throught he telephone booth not out of it, if that makes sense.
He can drive without question, but is there any question that a player like Outlaw would block his shot more often than not?

We'll see how he handles the secondary defender
He gets up high though, and quickly, and often summer league bigs try to swat everything anyways.
It does remain to be seen, however. He does have pretty good size for a PG-esque player, and I don’t predict he’ll get swatted much…
You mean on his jumper?
I also don’t see that as a big problem unless a lanky SG is guarding him. Bayless is as big as any other PG who would likely be guarding him (they ain’t gonna wanna put a PG on Roy or Rudy, I’d assume).
My thought is
As an NBA coach, wouldn’t you put your lengthy defender on him around the perimeter? It would pretty much eliminate his jumper, his shot is pretty much the exact opposite of Outlaws high arching shot.

And who does the PG cover?
Roy? Trout? Webster? LMA? Oden?
Detroit moves Prince onto Bayless, whoever Billups is now on now has a mismatch. And that’s maybe a worst case scenario for a defensive switch onto Bayless…
We got so many weapons, they can’t necessarily move their best defender to bayless because then they got a worse mismatch elsewhere.
The Blazers
are going to be a defensive NIGHTMARE.
We gotta double-team Oden in the post. Oh crap, here comes Lamarcus. What? Flip to Roy? Over to Rudy? Now Martell is open in the corner? And Bayless is cutting? Wait…is that Travis falling out of the sky? HELP!!!
Even if the lineup remains the same and Rudy n' Bayless are so-so
You simply can’t double any of the big 3 and get away with it. It’ll be awesome.
I’ll LOVE having a big man like oden (and unlike Pryz) who can make teams pay for leaving him.
We could

Well im not saying
The coach is gonna do anything stupid. But hypothetically, it wouldn’t neccesarilly be a bad defensive strategy to have a switch when Bayless is on the perimeter, depending on who is on the floor at the time.

by Outlaw is Rejector on Jul 20, 2008 3:08 AM PDT up reply actions
Plus most lengthy defenders long enough to bother
Aren’t both quick enough to keep him in front.
As long as he can pass it off reasonably well when stopped by a double or by a good defender, he’ll be okay. He’s a big PG, remember. Much smaller PGs don’t have a problem getting their shot off.
If he’s playing SG alongside a normal non-Roy-sized PG, then he’ll have Ben Gordon-esque problems.
One thing I can tell you right now
Bayless cannot guard NBA shooting guards. Not if they have any jumper at all. He will get Damoned to death.
That's for true, sir.
He’s in a good situation with us if he isn’t a PG, because he won’t have to play SG and be the awful undersized SG who only scores dude that I hate.
He’ll be the guy who is a PG on defense and a scorer on offense, not giving us headaches all year.
Roy sure lets us get away with murder, don’t he?
I agree with you and Dave
A TON on this particular idea.
Vote Sam Bowie as Greatest "Other" Blazer Ever.
by Outlaw is Rejector on Jul 20, 2008 3:13 AM PDT up reply actions
I agree with that
He’s intriguing enough to get perhaps a big final piece and not entrenched or playing a position (if he isn’t a real PG) that we don’t already feel like we are great at.
I always saw him as a perfect bench guard
Won’t make a stink, is solidly mediocre, dependable, and by the time Bayless and Rudy are tearing it up, Blake is 30 or pushing it.
I’d rather have him, since we know exactly what he can do, then the up n’ down of another young guard.
And if we’re replacing Blake with another vet solid-but-not-great backup guard, who would fit better? I guess there are plenty by then who’d wanna join us, but with the history Blake has now, I dunno…
Of course, his deal IS up or can be up after this season.
As much as I hate to say it...
I’d have to say Blake and Sergio are most likely to be gone by next year. Blake has a pretty high trade value for a team looking for a good backup, and Sergio… well, need I explain? Bayless stays for a while, unless he just turns into too much of a ‘tweener’. Koponen… Hard to say, although he and Blake seem like they could be about equal in skill eventually, so why not keep the younger, cheaper version?

Blogging question
Dave, I love everything you do for the site. The articles and insight are top-notch. However, I find myself wanting more Dave. You don’t often participate in the comment discussions following your articles or in fanposts. I’m just curious as to why that is, or if it’s even for a specific reason. It lends your articles more of an online-newspaper feeling, in which comments are enabled, but you never see the author or editor posting in there. Is that on purpose, or just because you have enough stuff to do during the day that you can’t lay around like your idle readership, whiling away the days with trade rumors and pop culture discussions?
Personally, I love when you do comment because it lets us see a bit more of the “blogger behind the screen.” I suppose this is also a backhanded compliment on how objectively you can write about the team, so kudos. Also, apologies if this isn’t what you wanted to discuss at 3 AM. If so, please tell me what your favorite pizza toppings are.
< /war >
I used to reply much more often
but a couple of things happened:
1. The site, and thus our responsibilities, got huge. It’s a different world here than it was two years ago. Besides writing quality material, so much of my time is spent monitoring fanposts or chatting with media folks or whatever. That cuts into conversation time.
2. We had Baby Point Guard. That means not only am I blogging until 1 or 2 a.m. many nights, I also have a decent chance of getting interrupted and having to soothe the little guy back to sleep. This also cuts into time for comments.
I assume situation two will get a bit better as the BPG gets older. I do miss the conversation also.
Oh, and I like Hawaiian pizzas and combinations. I also like exotic toppings.

Both are exceptionally strong and gifted, although a little mature. Both went through a period of weakness (ironically both giving in to a bad haircut or two along the way), but both will manage to turn it around.

Hawaiians/Samoans so racist
We had a ton at my university. They hate white people. I’d have to say I’ve never thought long enough about Hawaiians to form an opinion positive or negative, which makes their hatred cute to me.
I can’t think of one reason they would dislike white people, but some people, ya know?
Yeah
It’s nuts here sometimes. Japanese and Chinese cops will arrest a guy and they’ll still blame white people as they are getting busted.
--. --- | -... .-.. .- --.. . .-. ...
I always thought it was curious
How OBVIOUSLY Japanese people who have lived in Hawaii call themselves ‘native’ Hawaiians and hate outsiders as well.
I got a friend who is clearly originally from Japan but raised in Hawaii who went to nice private schools only for Hawaiians and got her schoolin’ paid for out of a native Hawaiian fund—but she is Japanese, even if she don’t say it. Look at her!
She ain’t a native Hawaiian, dammit!
What’s this world comin’ to?
I also knew a Hawaiian girl who lived in Oregon who actually thought Alaska was right next to Hawaii because of how maps are.
Kamehameha Schools
They are everywhere. They own a lot of Hawaii too. It’s crazy how many people who look white or Asian go to that school because they are a small percent Hawaiian.
--. --- | -... .-.. .- --.. . .-. ...
I used to live with two Japanese girls
Their families would hop on over to Hawaii for shopping like it was Walmart or sumthin’.
They can’t really go anywhere around Asia because everyone in Asia hates Japanese for how mean they are in WW2 and afterwards.
They were odd roommates. Their eyes were all different n’ stuff!
LOL
Here Japanese locals hate mainland Japanese people. Heck, I think they hate everyone. Asking your ethnic background is normally the second or third question out of someone’s mouth when they meet you here. Locals will say, “I’m German, Irish, Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, and Samoan.” Then I’ll say, “I’m just white.”
--. --- | -... .-.. .- --.. . .-. ...
Another difference between Japanese girls and me
This might just be the Japanesies I lived with and their several friends who would visit us, but I’ve never seen a group of people less cognizant of what they leave on the toilet seat.
Long thick curlies as far as the eye could see, no matter who used the bathroom last. I thought maybe it was a coincidence, BUT ALL OF ‘DEM DID IT.
Don’t they look down afterwards?
Also, I grew up with two sisters and maybe once there was a red dot leftover.
With these girls, it happened every month.
And get this: the red dot didn’t taste like jam, like my sisters did. It was more salty, kinda gamey.
THEMS WIERD.
I better leave on a high note
I got more toilet seat leftovers themed material but it isn’t ripe for a public audience yet.
Have a great night, enjoy the show, I haven’t watched season 3 yet! I am dumb.
It's funny stuff
Someone posted a link to watch them online too.

all right
I’m still here, and that is the grossest thing I have read on the internet.
Just ick, Mortimer.
It's just nature :-(
That COULDN’T be THE grossest thing on the internet, of all places. And I wasn’t specific about the red dot anyways.
Americans add strawberry jam to foods, whilst Japaneseys add perhaps a spicy red sauce (I dunno, what do I look like)? That’s all it was. Just food stuff that made it’s way into the potty.
You alls imaginations made it gross. I left it open to be interpreted like a fine piece of art.
The curly things were just strings from sweaters, pants, etc.
Their clothes weren’t American made, and thus were shoddy and shedded everywhere.
I would argue I just wrote the cleanest story ever told on the internet and it has been unfairly maligned.
I’m getting banned now, aren’t I :-(
Mortimer
At least it's a temp thread
If there was any doubt if it was going to be temp or not, maybe that has been answered.
I stand by my work though.
I also have to remember to remember I am not alone when I say such things and others know how to read words. I edit myself severely here, at least I usually do. No one would like me in real life, and no one does :-(
Will Mortimer ever find a place to call home?

When I was kid (and knew no better) living in Guam
I ate a TON of chocolate-covered insects. The bees were gross (too fuzzy), but the ants were incredible- they were spicy, like biting into a pepper kernel, and covered with chocolate were just amazing. The grasshoppers were too squishy, and the locusts too crunchy (but still palatable).

Why thank you!
Dogs r dee bestest so you should get one as well. What two kinds of dogs ya planning on getting?
On a whim I went to a dog show at the local fairgrounds.
I walked into a huge Quonset hut filled with English bulldogs, maybe 300 or so of them. Only a couple of them were barking. All of them were being friendly to all the other bulldogs. So I’d like a bulldog but I don’t think they like to hike much. What I want is a couple of good dogs that fit “the culture”.
"Besides, AnntheFan will be here any minute to #25 you." T Darkstar
My brother got a bull dog for X-Mas
They do not like to hike cause they dont breathe well. The heat there will make it doubly tough to be active.
They are cute and fun and wonderful though…

Only saw one bad guy.
Now I am wide awake from the walk though.
My phone died and I missed a comedy show a friend was doing because I thought it was Sunday night.
What is a boy to do?
I have a cow themed joke book
It’s MOOOrder to read! Ho ho ho. I do have a cow joke book and I hate it.
When Granny Mortimer died I found a joke book from the early 1900’s (like 1908 or so) full of really horrible jokes which either made no sense because of the massive cultural changes or were just racist or didn’t make sense because that racial stereotype doesn’t exist anymore.
It is my favoritest book ever. Where is it…? I think it’s in Portland…
OK
Now, FOR REALZ, I am in bed.
Please lil’ Fiancee, pleez sleep in… at least till 10am…
I just live too hard, that’s all. Crazy nights walking the dog and slowly chatting online with fellow Blazer nerds… I mean, I know this crazy lifestyle is gonna catch up to me but it’s like I just don’t care. So self destructive.
It’s just how we do it where I’m from. PORTLAND WHAT!

My cat Al thought he was a dog.
He carried a pencil in his mouth all the time on the chance that he might interest anyone in a game of pencil poke. This consisted, on the human part, of poking a pencil at him through small apertures so that he could attack with cunning and bravery. He always had his pencil at the ready in case his stupid humans knew what they were supposed to do.
