our first quarter have been dreadful of late
as long as we keep winning I guess its ok though. Let’s keep winning.
Boomshakalaka
18-8 PHI
Almost 20-8 but Portland blocked a layup.
This looks a lot like the second half of the last game in philly.
Now that we have an official thread its time to start playing good

I called my buddy who is at the knick game today and
he’s a huge Kinick fan and reads everything but hasnt heard a thing until I talked to him like an hour ago
Being a Blazer fan is fun!

Oden looks slow and clumsy today, let's see if Pryz can come back from his worst game of the year...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
They leave the 3 point shot wide open
I wish Rudy was playing

“turnover, fast break, turnover, fast break, turnover, fast break.”
i'm ready to graduate now.
kthx.
Rudy clearly is not the issue
we have 3 turnovers of the egregious variety; where Igoudala simply took the ball from B-Roy and twice when Steve Blake simply fell down with the ball.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
Time to slow it down with some Bayless free throws

Philly will remember that they are Philly and stop making all shots.

We should be ok...it's better than being up 28 and losing in Philly
"Step up to my mic!!!" Joel's right and left fist
They're just setting them up
They’re giving Philly a big lead, so they can return the favor this year.
no...just rest...he had some awesome moves...but didn't finish
"Step up to my mic!!!" Joel's right and left fist
Well, if you think Philly can maintain 70% shooting, we are in deep trouble...

we need better offensive gameplan
too many shots up against the clock. we must initiate sooner, we must plan to shoot with 7-10 seconds left.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
for once can we hold a team to
under 25 pts in the 1st Q??
PLEASE!!!!!

hahaha you serious? did you say that against Chicago too?
"Step up to my mic!!!" Joel's right and left fist
Frye always takes a half court shot at halftime of our home games
I have seen him make at least 8
but he is permabenched so nevermind.

I have pinched myself
till I bruised, but I guess I have accept the fact that I am not dreaming and that quarter just happened.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
BAD Everything 1st Quarter
Blazers will be fighting all year long for playoffs because of their horrid defense. Zone gimmick FTW.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
they had a 15+ point lead at the RG last year and we won
This series is all about collapses.
Boomshakalaka
just got to a computer to watch, can someone tell me how this happened?
Bring back the Uncle Cliffy!
poor d
lots of turnover
not getting back on d
poor decisions
what could have went wrong did go wrong

Great, fat hands Joel is back. I like sticky hands Joel much better

Up too late the night before
Didn’t get to bed until 4:30 am Monday night. I hope they can work their way thru this.
No, he's just a refined version of Jerryd Bayless.
I detest players who’ve got that overhyped skill set.
Brandon's coming back in
He’s really our best hope right now. He usually can pop out of his funks.
Nevermind, dead-ball foul on Brandon Roy.
starters
let them dig themselves out of the hole they dug.
cuz Bayless and Sergio cannot get us back into this game
M, period. Fresh, comma.
Wow. Easily the worst game of the season.
Travis at the key, Pryz wide open under the hoop. Travis bricks a jumper.
I'm telling ya, they're setting up Philly
They’re going to make the crowd know what it’s like to lose a lead like this.
All part of the master plan
… I get it, it’s smart

I hate to admit it
but I’m a Pacer fan who’s not getting a feed, so Portland by default becomes my second option. You guys are doing really well this year despite the 1st quarter play so far…
I watched Pacers a couple nights ago -- what was that, Lakers? They didn't look half bad...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
He's playing for TJ Ford
He’s hurt – again. We let friggin’ Okur score his career high Monday night. It was brutal. Still…I like this team better since the Brawl and the 2 crazies in Artest and Jackson. I haven’t fully recovered.
Does Jack have a chronic habit of leaving his feet, finds he has no place to go and then throws the ball away? It’s annoying me.

I figured...
Bird needs to fine him everytime he does it or something. He does it at least twice a game…usually towards the end.
you can insert any player's name where you had "bayless"
"Step up to my mic!!!" Joel's right and left fist
He was trying to get something going
Players have made lots of mistakes today, but I can’t complain that he tried to be aggressive.
what??? no way...dunk when you can...that can change momentum
"Step up to my mic!!!" Joel's right and left fist
I'm watching Raptors game also
two spaniards in suit, two blowouts…. skipping sleep hours for that….
Free Sergio!
Im guessing we’ll be having a few “WHAT IS WRONG WITH PORTLAND POSTS” followed by some rationale: “Lets not be too bi-polar about good and bad performances”
IKE MAKE YOUR DANG LAYUPS
I hate catching crappy teams on their way up
…or least in a dead cat bounce. Like these guys. We’ve got a few of those coming up (e.g., Charlotte).
Still early. I think this is a good experience. Lets see if we have what it takes to recover.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
We are the worst team in the history of the NBA. (Only tonight though)
lol im glad i have something else to do later
but i fully expect the blazers to win or make this close… or else Nate will kill them all
IKE MAKE YOUR DANG LAYUPS
We are gonna KILL New Jersey tomorrow.

-BE poster whose name I can't remember
Travis just looks so lost
I’m only noticing this because I look for it, because the rest of the team is just as lost.
how does this happen?
6:02 PHI – L. Williams offensive rebound
6:03 PHI – L. Williams misses a 28-foot three-pointer from the left wing
6:12 PHI – W. Green offensive rebound
6:14 PHI – W. Green misses a 27-foot three-pointer from the right wing
Boomshakalaka
At least I've seen less organized basketball in some of my pick up games
We have room to improve
We don't look nearly pissed enough

Think happy thoughts
This game was 6-6
IKE MAKE YOUR DANG LAYUPS
i would kill
to trade Nate for Sergio right now. What is NY thinking by even entertaining that idea? Sergio is a mediocre player!
M, period. Fresh, comma.
Blazers are terrible on so many levels at the moment that it's difficult to start the list...

they're missing free throws, the momentum is turning...

Travis is so bad right now
We need Batum. The reason LMA missed that last shot was because Trav missed him on the break. I hate him as a basketball player so much.
Those are Darius numbers!

Cruddy Comcast Feed = Crummy Play by Blazers...HD = WIN!
And we need someone who gets out in transition and runs the floor like Iggie!
Wanna know what's pathetic?
There are more of us complaining in this thread than there are people cheering in Philly. When the camera pans I swear I see people, but I wonder if they’re cardboard cutouts.
The number of people in attendance aren't matching attendance numbers
At least that’s what it looks like a lot lately.
That’s got to be disconcerting to the NBA.
did any one
see LMA totally open under the basket, cause travis didn’t. After the defenders got back he threw it to him.
Do you guys normally play the half court / isolation?
You guys look like your could be a really good running team…
They're epically bad running the break. It's sorta like the 3 Stooges...
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
As long as Nate is our coach, we be slowin' things down

Yep. Travis is the only guy on the team who is playing poorly.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Sorry but I have another question - Channing Frye
He never plays for you guys, but if Frye was on another team, do you think he would be good. People in Indiana are talking about possible trades. I don’t want Frye, but…if he plays defense, that’s all he would have to do.
he plays almost no defense, but if you need a power forward who can shoot jumpers he's your man
honor rasheed wallace
i like ike
he is horrible on defense

cmonnnnn BLAZERS
LETS GOO!
The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

Not if blake's momentum caused it
It didn’t look like he intended to injure him.
I’m going to rewind and watch it again in a min.
Murphy's Law in effect tonight. Can anything else go wrong?

Well, Mr. Rex, let's see if that intensity is a show or for real...

Guaranteed minutes for Bayless now.

well great
should have waived the white flag and put in Shav and Ike
Might as well try it, could it get worse?
"Every time Troutlaw touches the ball, I pop an anti-anxiety pill."
If Blake is out for any extended amount of time
Blazers will struggle to win games. Blake is a big part of Blazer wins.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
man,
we should forfeit before roy’s hammy explodes, knocking him into LMA’s ear who loses his balance and hits Greg’s knee…

Thanks god this half is over. Let's just start over.

Dalembert is great shot blocker
"shaq and zach randolph have the same trainer... "
best one liner i ever heard.
Lowest first half of the season: 55-33.
Suck to the third power.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
I'm with you bro, we need some games like this sooner than later in the season.
"Every time Troutlaw touches the ball, I pop an anti-anxiety pill."
You know Sixers are laughing in the locker room.
"Every time Troutlaw touches the ball, I pop an anti-anxiety pill."
whoa down by twenty-plus?
just got home. what’s going on with the Blazers? can anybody offer a one sentence summary?

Nate can't rebound, rotate, defend, and hit shots for them.
"Every time Troutlaw touches the ball, I pop an anti-anxiety pill."
Bingo.
He can tell them what sets to run, in order to get them open shots.
He can’t help it if they execute them like they’re in a looney tunes short.
Who knew if you gave a NBA team wide open jumpshots they actually knock them down
Philly might be the worst shooting team in the NBA, but when you give wide open looks like the Blazers, they will hit their shots.
BINGO, BANGO, BONGO
They may not be a great 3 point shooting team
But they still are NBA players and if you leave them wide open chances are they will hit
uggh
I suspect that all the Blazers come out of the locker room with black eyes and they all simultaneously say they fell down some stairs
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
those 3s at the end of the half hurt
with some effort on D we could have been down 15 instead of 22.

Open invitation: all you who are self-proclaimed ping pong experts. If you think you can beat me - or if you just want to see how it's really played: cdd37@yahoo.com. This means you, too, Jerryd.
turnovers, 76ers making every three they shot and total lack of passion from the Blazers
Bring back the Uncle Cliffy!
Yay, Jerryd Bayless is Portland's point guard of the future!
What? Oh, wait, here’s what I meant to type there: “I told you so …”
Bayless never was, is, or ever will be a true point guard—and that’s that!
Yes yes and your word is law
(rolls eyes emphatically).
Sometimes you post like an old guy who covers his bald spot with a combover. Compensation.
Ironically, I have more hair than most guys who post here.
I’ve been wrong when evaluating players, though, which was the case with Shelden Williams.
I expected Williams to thrive in the NBA ’cause of his defensive prowess, but his short stature for a post player and ineptitude on offense has prevented him from succeeding at this level.
Omniscient,omnipotent and, unfortunately omnipresent.
Have you inspected everyone’s head for a hair count?
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
you mean when he was at UW
and was at that point a borderline 2nd round pick
that 20year old Brandon Roy?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I want a cage match
between Mortimer and AK… Kind of like Dwight vs. Jim… only one person leaves a cage match.
as someone who was watching a lot of pac 10 at the time
I am going to call BS on this. Brandon senior year I will believe but not junior year injury fest
the point still stands that saying that Bayless can never play point is extremely premature
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
After his senior year of high school, Brandon Roy declared for the NBA Draft.
Roy’s NBA potential was there from the onset, but most folks were too blind to see it.
and then withdrew
that should probably tell you something
i followed him on draftexpress and he was pegged as a second rounder for the first half of his senior year.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Yes, Brandon Roy was thought of as someone who did everything well and ...
nothing great on the court; however, I’d rather have that than a one-dimesional, overhyped combo guard like Jerryd Bayless, who doesn’t have a true position in the NBA.
so you are just defending the easier position
which is Roy was underrated by scouts rather than talking about how you have pigeonholed a 1 year college player who has not played a full season in the nba.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
actually people found
out about his all around game after Nate Robinson left that team so Brandon Roy could show he is not just a decent mid range shooter.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
Yeah, Nate Robinson's depature allowed Brandon Roy to erupt into ...
greatness. Roy, however, showed flashes of success throughout his sophomore and junior campaigns, although things did look bleak at first during his freshman season — for he was held back some by eligibility reasons and Doug Wrenn — but it all worked out in the end.
well, true, but...
… that’s your first thought after watching that half?
how about “wow, that was all kinds of terrible by the whole team.”
Boomshakalaka
As one of the few guys who didn't shortsightedly jump on the Jerryd Bayless bandwagon, I feel ...
the need to gloat a bit at this moment. It still baffles me that anyone thinks that Bayless could become a point guard. It’s just not in the cards, folks, since his skill set is that of an undersized shooting guard who hogs the ball by almost always looking for his own shot and ignoring others.
That's all well and good, but
Way to jump the gun there, that wasn’t even close to the right moment.
Wait for him to dribble the ball off his foot while forcing a bad shot or sumthin’.
The opinion is fine and very well could be true, but the timing is puzzling.
You could also tell us Bowie was the wrong pick while you’re at it, he was just as much at fault in that half.
He's barely been at the point this half...
Blake falling down twice, Outlaw losing his man backdoor three times consecutively… plenty of other things to complain about.
Bayless has not finished developing yet.
............
never will be? How the hell do you know this? can you see the future? After one terrible game? Without one off season to work on his game? Come on man! You can have an opinion, but to write the guy off already is ignorant. Many players have come into this league and evolved + developed their games with time. Chill out and quite patting yourself on the back (might get that grade one shoulder seperation ;) )
Only time will tell and its far to soon to call. In a year or two try this again and maybe I will agree with you.
I got here late
I think I wasn’t the only one who worried about this game a lot more than the others.
This is what Philly did to Houston the other night, it seemed like. Just run run run and Houston couldn’t keep up.
Lotsa game left, but we need to slooooow it down, hope Philly shoots like they normally shoot from outside, and we gotta execute how we normally do. Just gotta get back to where both teams normally play! HOW they play, I mean.
WORSE COMES TO WORSE 3 and 1 on a east coast New Jack Swang ain’t bad.
But we're better suited for them
Outside Harris and VC, we can handle the rest of them easily enough.
No game is a gimme, but Philly’s style is troublesome for us still, until Oden can punish a team like that with his size— and we can’t rely on that.
Yay!! We're winning the second half!! 3-0!!
I now live in the land of Lakers. I witnessed first hand the collapse in Game 7, 2002. I have seen chubby Laker fans running around in the streets like headless chickens, and I have seen Rick Fox stuff his smug face with a NY steak. All these things I have seen with my own eyes, and I promise you, I will never forget.... I WILL NEVER FORGET!
