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).

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?

if the pac 10
didn’t start out so damn badly against non conference opponents, usc could have been in the title game…but then again if OSU didn’t choke in the civil war we wouldn’t be complaining either. that would have been funny to see USC in the national championship but not win their own conference.

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!”

He is
in the right situation. The problem is when Sheed is around knuckleheads without a strong influence around, he goes with the herd. Detroit with Ben Wallace and Billups was the perfect scenario for Sheed – those guys were on a mission and wouldn’t tolerate any bs

That's the key to life for him. He has to be able to finish to be able to draw the crowd though. He'll get there.
Hoisting perimeter jumpers is not what we want to be seeing from him.

Every play doesn't have to have a culprit
Sometimes it’s a little miscommunication. Bayless had a good idea, Outlaw just wasn’t ready for it. He was trying something else.
Happens all the time in real life basketball. The thing that is justifiably maddening is when they slack on D or don’t box out….stuff like that

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.

No one with a positive +/- tonight
This is a team effort of sucking right now.

thats understandable
since we’ve never even had a run or a lead today.

offense is just as bad as defense tonight
That’s unusual for Portland.

Why would they? Roy(our big 3) is on the bench.
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.

So where is our big 3?
Its a joke. We have big average players

I just looked it up.
From Oden:
This dog is stressing me out some because he sniffs everything and he loves eating grass, but he won’t eat his dog food. The second day i had him Brandon and I left him in the backyard for like 30 minutes and when we got back he had crawled under the gate and run away.

shooter sleeves
why do some players use it on their shooting arm and others have it on their non shooting arm? why would you want your non shooting arm warm?

I think oden already has a reputation of being foul prone
so that gets him called for fouls where there is none
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.
