Gameday Open Thread: Pistons vs. Blazers

This is a good team.  We are a good team, though perhaps not as good without Brandon Roy.  How will it turn out?  A win tonight would be nice.  At least one of the next two is mandatory if we are to avoid an official losing streak...our first of the year.

Register all of your game-related thoughts here!

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

 

Edit:  I don't usually backseat coach in-game but I'm making an exception.  No Rip and no Rasheed tonight means one thing:  Pack the middle.  Pack the middle.  Pack the middle.  Period.  End of story.  Any driver that isn't met by at least two Blazers means we aren't doing our job.

More minutes for rookies means more improvement

And

Hollinger predicted that it would be the Mavericks to miss the playoffs this year. If I remember correctly, it is because the Mavs have had basically no injuries to speak of and many of their guys are playing better than they probably should (Terry).

you can pull up predictions for 2004? I thought all sportswriters everywhere systematically erased all evidence that they had ever made a wrong prediction. So they can continue to speak with authority.

This needs to be a win for us

we’re at home, but without Roy. They are without Rip and Sheed. We’ve been losing too many home games. That has to stop.

Can the Rose Garden advantage be enough ???

I got a bad feeling about this game. Iverson with a talented veteran team, with championship rings ?? OK, I admit it, I’m intimidated for us. They are smart enough to appreciate the talent on the Blazers. They are no way lookin’ past this one. Their time is running out. Wer’re ramping up. I’m thinking they want, they NEED this game more. I’m hoping for a competitive game. Detroit is going to be tough. Will hopefully be interesting (close).

by Berkeley on Jan 7, 2009 5:56 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

talented veteran team with rings?

how many guys on this team were around when they won rings?

that was Billups, Rip, Prince, Sheed, Ben Wallace, if I remember right.

ONE of those guys plays tonight.

(The one I want on the Blazers, since you asked.)

No – more that likely, with Sheed and Rip out, The Answer will try to be just that, attempt 50 shots, score 35 points, and lose.

Let’s hope.

I agree on Rudy

has the season already caught up with Rudy? His shots been so off and consistently short of late. Does he smoke?

where ambiguity happens. I was rooting for the lakers against NO for some reason, mostly because if NO slumps and the Blazers do well, they are right back in “contention” with them. BTW wasn’t trying to make you feel bad about being a drug addict (mt. dew once a week lol), i just remember on twin peaks, agent dale cooper telling this old lady that coffee can cigarettes were drugs, and she looks at him blankly, don’t remember what she says if anything.

In honor of the (second) best Blazer of the last 10 years

Rasheed Wallace (born 17 September 1974) is an American basketball player.

    * [To teammates before a game] “Let’s go out and play like we’re Chicago on NBA Jam.”

    * [To Kwame Brown before attempting every shot over him] “Don’t worry young fella, I get paid for this. I get paid for doing this to you.”

    * [To Vince Carter while Carter was waiting to be substituted into a game] “VINCE! VINCE! I know you hear me! You better look over here or I’m gonna slap you upside the head!”

    * “Can you get a good cheesesteak in Portland?”

    * [On team chemistry] “See, we are like the dust…we just need to be mixed in right so we can gel.”

    * [On coach Sidney Lowe’s leaving North Carolina] “I told him that he’s going to get buried by Carolina, killed by Carolina, he better get used to losing bad. We’re going to beat (them), and when we do, he can’t duck me — I don’t care where he is. I am going to call his cell phone, fax him, write him, e-mail him, call his assistants, call his secretary at the basketball office, call his house phone, send him FedEx packages with a big NC logo and the final score on it. He’s going to know he got whupped. So you go ahead and take that job. You’re going from winning to losing. You’d be better off going to the University of Wyoming or something. But no, you’re going right into the lion’s den.”

    * “I’m all right. I’ll be ready to go. Don’t send me to the glue factory yet.”

    * [On referees] “A lot of them cats are felonious, man.”

    * [On meeting George Bush] “I ain’t going to say (nothing) to him. I didn’t vote for him. I’m not excited at all, it’s just part of the thing.”

    * [On winning championship] “"It’s K.I.M. You gotta keep it moving. Because once you stop, you gonna get stuck.”

    * “I’m not Jesus or nuthin.”

    * [On John Nash’s comments comparing him with Kenyon Martin] “I don’t give a shit what John Nash thinks…You see where his thinking got him…You all got anything else?”

    * [Before a game 7] “Pressure? This isn’t pressure and this is not pain. Afghanistan, Iraq and that other place, Croatia and Bosnia – now, that is pressure. This ain’t nothing but a little hoops.”

    * “Granted, they’re a good team, but we ain’t scared of nobody, I don’t know why all you cats think we’re scared of the Lakers, or that the Lakers are this dominant force. We ain’t scared of those cats, man.”

    * “Some people say I’m mean and this and that. On one hand that’s cool. That keeps away all the riffraff and all the bugaboos.”

    * “They were good before I got here. That’s what I try to tell the local media and fans. They say to me, ‘Thanks for coming to the Pistons. You made us better.’ I say, ’Ain’t no way in hell I made y’all better. Y’all were already one of the top-echelon teams in the East.’ I’m still mystified by that one a little bit.”

    * “…In college it was win, win, win. I don’t like losing. I’ve never had to deal with losing. When I’m out there on the floor, I might yell or do this or that. I’m trying to get the win. My whole bottom line is getting that ‘W.’ I might be more vocal or more fierce than the next player, and I get labeled a knucklehead. That comes from people who don’t know me, who just see me one night out of 365 days.”

    * [On getting fined for wearing shorts too long during a game] “I like to wear big baggy clothes, and that’s the way I like it when I am playing. We’re the ones out there playing. They’re up in some office. If we’re comfortable with it, leave us alone … They’re just targeting a whole bunch of young guys.”

    * [When blowing out a team, to Jerry Stackhouse sitting on the bench and signaling to substitute him out of the game] “Let’s get the fuck out of here.”

    * “I don’t know of any law that says you can’t have fun on the court if you play for Carolina.”

    * “Same old refs, some things never change.”

    * “Both teams played hard. God bless and goodnight.”

    * “Cheaters never win, that’s all.”

    * [After foul shooter missed a foul shot] “THAT BALL AIN’T GONNA LIE, THAT BALL AIN’T GONNA LIE!”

Sometimes it’s a little miscommunication. Bayless had a good idea, Outlaw just wasn’t ready for it. He was trying something else.

Nice to see Rex hit a shot

That was an awful last possession though.

Our D is making me sick so far. If we could play average D, we’d be such a good team.

That said, we’re only down 6… and I still think this is a win for us.

Blazers looking kind of diffident

No Roy = low confidence.

I am close to giving up on Outlaw. I’ve always been a big Outlaw fan but if he doesn’t step up tonight I might throw in the towel on him.

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.

that's okay...

I’m pretty sure he gave up on you a long time ago.

by LicketyBrindle on Jan 7, 2009 7:40 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

What can you expect from Outlaw?

He’s just a bench role player, you can’t expect him to score 20+ points and contribute. He is what he is, I think its unfair to expect him to come in and step up his game. He’s just not that type of player.

Man this what I dont understand

Why the heck nobody stays on offensive rebounds? Is it cuz they dont want the Pistons on the break? Blazers cant play defense anyways, so why not stay and get offensive rebounds.

And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.

Offensively, shots just aren't falling

I think there’s some level of Detroit’s defense causing that, but partially it’s simply everyone looking at each other to be a spark.

Sooner or later, they'll miss jumpers

But by then, they’ll beat the zone in other ways.

Honestly, it looks like Portland wasn’t prepped for Detroit’s new offense, or else they’re not skilled enough to execute their defensive strategy.
