He lit the ball on fire during a game
And no one in the crowd even cares. As if it’s normal for a guy to turn things into fire with sheer basketball pyrokinesis. Girl with a scarf should be worried. I mean, if you’re wearing a scarf and a guy is dribbling a flaming ball near you, first thing on your mind should be, I can’t have acrylic near this.

Sixers = 55

Philly is just hot at the 3.
It’s fine. We make our stand in the second half.
As King Theoden once said, “Let them come.”
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.
Kings fan
Come on guys, Rice just promised to get a faux hawk if we're leading after 3!

If the Blazers win this, Rex will finish with 20 and Travis with 20. Those are the key guys.

A note on Roy
I have noticed this alot:
Roy is a solid on-ball defender; not great but not bad either. He takes care of his business on the rotation and just like on O, makes good decisions.
but man… he is a LAZY defender when the action isn’t heading his way. Just watch him. Most likely, when the ball is on the weak side, he is standing there looking fairly disinterested, or perhaps he is wandering towards the hoop. He’s the Sam Perkins of Defense.

Since there are always 5 players on the court, whatever the final margin is needs to be multiplied by 5 and the sum of all +/- needs to meet that number.

BIg game tomorrow.
Both teams coming off blowouts. I think we get it done.
Philly is a good team and we brought our D- game. Its a terrible game. Its over. Let’s get the Nets tomorrow.

Disagree
No blake, probably no Rudy, mega-sore Brandon, we’ll be dejected, they’ll be fired up.
Life is hilarious.
why will we be dejected?
We’ve lost games before.
No Blake and no Rudy could be an issue, for sure.
Boomshakalaka
don't be ridiculous
This team went 2-2 without Roy. They can beat the Nets without Blake and Rudy.

we always knew Bayless wasn't a true point
I think his shooting is the bigger concern. We need him to score.
Boomshakalaka
If he can't penetrate, he can't play. He was TENATIVE tonight. Really, really bad game for him.
"Now with a non-provocative footer!"
What did Tom say? We need a Tyson Chandler. Now we also need a Reggie Evans
Well, at least we found Shavlik tonight
If you count Raef LaFrentz's, then there's five power forwards.
One of GM Kevin Pritchard’s biggest weaknesses has been balanced roster construction.
He drops pearls from his lips.

I was merely pointing out that the roster isn't healthy right now.
When healthy, there is an adequate roster balance.
A) You don’t count Raef
B) The roster consists of 6 guards 6 forwards and 2 centers

Yeah
He is only an inch taller than Roy…but good point he is a forward I suppose. He has played the two before though.

I would say Bayless is the backup SG
But he is gonna have to play backup or starting PG. I honestly dont know what to do at SG if Rudy is out for tomorrows game. And hopefully Brandon will be able to play. He was getting treatment on the sideline for his hammy during the 4th.

Since he's a member of the roster, Raef LaFrentz is included in this analysis.
I guess the point is that I’d rather see a true third-string center on the team over Ike Diogu or Shavlik Randolph, as well as true third-string point guard in lieu of Jerryd Bayless.
as long as a team goes 2 deep with "true" players at each position
I think the rest is more or less irrelevant.
Boomshakalaka
Regarding the swing positions, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Center and point guard, however, are an altogether different matter.
Although Shavlik Randolph has probably done an admirable job as the Portland Trail Blazers’ third-string pivotman in practice, I’d prefer it if the team had a true pivotman on the roster in case of an injury to Greg Oden or Joel Przybilla.

The guards
Could not feed him the ball in the first quarter, at all. He was babied from there on in.

I don't mind the loss so much.
I just don’t want to see them go into a tailspin after a sixers game like last year.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
pardon me while i go listen to Space Oddity and cry on my bed.

I chose to ignore defense entirely
Our effort there was bare minimal. Apart from one stretch, possibly.

Our bad starts caught up to us today
4th straight bad first quarter and we finally paid for it. Hopefully the guys get the message this time.

Travis obviously plays better feeling hated...Too much love yesterday on here and...
His cousin feed his ego.
A reason to smile.
We lost to a reasonably good team. Our rival is losing to an awful team.
by BeloHorizante on Jan 14, 2009 6:41 PM PST up reply actions
I think the Blazers need to win it...
I don’t think we beat Charlotte, so it’s important to get this one.
need to get 1 of those 2
would like to get both of them, but it’ll obviously be very tough if we’re without 3 of our top 4 shooters in Martell, Blake and Rudy (not to mention our only trustworthy PG at the moment in Blake).
Boomshakalaka
Good luck...
As a 6er fan i am suprised at how well our team shot the three. we seem to be hitting our stride just as brand is getting ready to return. That could be good or bad for us. You guys obviously have a very talented team and unfortunately you seem to be pretty beat up. I will be rooting for you guys to do well in the west.

Classy stuff man.
I wish your team all the best… except for the meeting in March. I will want to exact a little revenge in that game.
Great blog over there.
I wish you guys had kept Mo
But I still like the Sixers.

good game by the Sixers
bad game by the Blazers. Philly is too talented a team to struggle all year. Good luck to you as well.

somebody say
they were cheering for utah to beat OKC? That makes no sense if your first priority is the Blazers. AK1984 I’m looking at you!
Despite being more angered at Howard Schultz than Clay Bennett and his cronies, it's still ...
flat-out impossible for me to ever cheer on the team formerly known as the Seatle SuperSonics.
Schultz is the real villain
Even someone like me, who wasn’t a Sonic fan or following the sale of the team, knew the out of town owner who had been desperate for a team in OKC, was gonna try to move the team to OKC. It wasn’t a mystery.
Schultz knew, and either liked the more money I’m sure he needed, or didn’t care, or didn’t think the team would actually move— which was dumb.
Bennett did what we all knew he would do. I blame Schultz too.

At least the L@kers lost tonight!

garbage vomit vomit garbage
I’m going to throw up now.
What a disgusting spectacle. Not a game at all.
The question we should really ponder is not why al-Zeidi could be so impolite as to throw his shoes at Bush, but why the dozens of other shoes in the room remained on people's feet, why no foot odor ever purifies the air at a White House press conference, why a man who throws his shoes at our president is more popular than our president himself.
