I say Greg Oden is gonna step it up against the weaker Tyson Chandler. Although the opposite could be true since Chandler is quicker and could Greg in foul trouble.

It really seems that Oden has turned a corner with his attitude, effort, energy level and stamina

just watching his body language as well as his positive interactions with other players on the court has really encouraged me. I have a feeling that post-Xmas chat with Nate may be this years moment that you can point to as the rebirth of the season. just like with last years practice where the players almost fought each other it seems that this could be a turning point in the season.

2. he owns a ton of movie theaters in SLC and when Brokeback Mountain came out he did not want to show it because of the whole homo thing

3. this year he banned Zack and Miri make a Porno at the same theaters because it was supposedly indecent whole allowing 40 year old virgin and Knocked up to be shown at the same theaters

4. did I mention he owns the J*zz??

Larry Miller is great as he is the Blazers president but Larry H Miller is the owner of the J*zz and he owns the car dealerships.

Despite the score...

I keep seeing things from players that seem new and more inspired than before. A few players taking a stutter step back from early season brilliance. Mostly it’s a feeling I get during certain plays that makes me feel like we’re turning a corner, or escaping our recent plateau. Even though we’re down at the moment, I can’t help but love every moment of this season so far. Even the heart wrenching losses. Without them winning would mean nothing!

Ok, just to describe a tiny moment

Rudy was inbounding.

Travis curled around a screen and was wide open, right in front of Rudy.

Rudy looked around for anyone else who was open. Nobody was open.

Rudy finally inbounds to Travis.

It was slightly humorous.

Yea I saw that.

We need our guys to burst out of the lines when inbounding. That’s how you get separation. We run out slow and easy, and it never works. And he prolly didn’t want to give it to Trav because trav almost always holds the ball for at least 5 seconds before dishing or making his move, unless he’s passing around the perimeter or taking his 3 pointer from the baseline.

can’t poor shooting and lack of hustle on defense be the result of fatigue?

I think this

is the one point we will agree on this evening. Question for you as a Hornet fan: would your opinion change if it was CP3 with an injury? Main reason I ask is the Hornets are a definite contender this year (although Paul, Chandler, and West aren’t going anywhere for a while), so are you in more of a win now mode. I would still say hold out any star like that, but it’s always good to hear someone else’s perspective.

We were up 5 for at least 3 mins after the ejection and could not score or expand the lead. That’s unacceptable. Period.

I'm not satisfied with his loss

We had a chance to win and we completely faded out.
Don’t know why we didn’t go with Rudy driving in, he was the hot man today and barely touched a ball in 4th Q. I think the team lacks of offensive moves without Roy, and relays too much in jumpers when he is not in. Putting Bayless in to drive and draw some fouls didn’t worked, and Blake wasn’t smart on offense.

Analogous to Sergio imo

The talent is there that makes you want to keep them, but they would definitely be a better fit in an up tempo system, which given the presence of Oden/Roy (half court stud/future stud), they need to adapt their games a bit

Sit Brandon on Sunday, bring him back for Detroit and the

team goes 2 and 2 in this stretch of four games, 3 of them without Roy.

Rudy has his stroke back

If Blake and LMA shoot 40% the Blazers win this game.

Bayless is getting better, quickly

Nate is waening Rudy away from Sergio – they play a lot less together with Roy out. Not good news for Sergio.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
