Preseason Gameday Open Thread -- Jazz

PrintTonight's game is against the Utah Jazz. I'll be wearing a biohazard suit in case I run into Paul Millsap's contract. Tip is at 7PM in the Rose Garden. There is no local TV. Radio on 95.5 FM. I heard the game might be televised in Utah so maybe Justin's internet television will come through tonight. Cross your fingers.
Nate's starting lineup (according to Casey) tonight is a familiar one: Blake, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, Przybilla. Oden remains out with his thigh injury.
According to Brian T. Smith, Nate says he plans to treat tonight's game as a regular season contest.
Put 2 and 2 together and Andre Miller is probably hanging a Rodney Dangerfield poster in his locker right now.
Catch you post-game.

as they say in the bronx (probably, i have no idea), foist.
go blazers.
best introduction ever (in my head): “Starting at Power Forward, out of Texas, with a new contract in hand, LaMarcus Aldridge!”
Oden=2009 ROY
As they say in Corvallis (definitely), beavis!

I could still see
Miller starting, just maybe not today. Blake hasn’t been good in the preseason I dont know why you wouldnt start miller.
I hope I can get a bunch of championships, like 15. " - Greg Oden
treating this like a regular season contest = starting then unstarting miller

Nate changing the starting lineup at the last second is the only thing he does that bugs me.
I’m still annoyed at his last-second swap of Travis for Nic in game 1 last season. It’s not like that game would have gone any worse with Nic in there.
I remeber reading today that
McMillan was letting the players decide who starts and that he thinks they know who should start. If that’s the case Dre should be starting. Maybe he just wants to give the old lineup one more shot before the regular season.

I dont think he really meant he is letting them decide, i think he meant that their playing and contribution will decide, but yes i still think that means miller. I dont see how he could say that and mean blake. Unless blake is just playing out of his mind in practices but sucking in games.
I hope I can get a bunch of championships, like 15. " - Greg Oden
I didnt mean they sit around
Road Rules/Real World Challenge style and decide who plays, I meant by their play, silly goose!

I think doing it survivor style might be fun for them. I could just see Blake look into the camera and say “Sorry Miller, I really want to start”
I hope I can get a bunch of championships, like 15. " - Greg Oden
by saying the players decide, perhaps he means how the players play together.
miller does get more production out of the second unit.
Thats remember btw. Edit function plz?

Blazers new streaming policy
really makes no sense to me. http://www.nba.com/blazers/news/trail_blazers_finalize_plans_s_2009_10_20.html
150 mile radius, CH8 games, why stream it when you can watch it on TV?
Brandon Roy, 'nuff said.
Ch8 games are less surprising, they're probably learning how hard Comcast is to negotiate with.
They must really regret the 10 year agreement they signed with Comcast.
Why would anyone within 150 miles
pay to watch it on their computer when they can get it over basic cable or airwaves for free? They don’t black out CH8, do they?
Brandon Roy, 'nuff said.
There must be a small niche group we're missing.
Perhaps folks in Central Washington up the I-5 corridor?
I’m also stumped, but I feel like I must be missing something.
Down the Wilamette Valley? Bend / Redmond?
Do they get KGW in Eugene?
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
There are plenty of people on satellite who cannot get cable and out of reach of the broadccast
"Either way we have two phenomenal units. I'm excited to play with either one." - Martell Webster
I believe then negotiated with KGW first
knowing it would be easier, and to help set the terms for negotiations with Comcast.

I think outside the 150 mile radius must infringe on the NBA League Pass piece o' the pie
Fans outside of the Trail Blazers’ 150-mile broadcast territory can also see games online as part of the NBA League Pass Broadband package. Details are available at NBA.com.
If that's the case
Shouldn’t those outside the 150 mile radius be able to see the Blazers with LP, which is not the case?
you need to complain...
I found an old 2007/2008 pdf of the miles and rules…
however the catch is this “NBA approved extended market” phrase listed after the 150 miles…
also a link on league pass broadband to enter your info and get it fixed. (look on the right column and click: What information does NBA need to investigate my blackout situation, and how do I get it to them?)
not sure if it works as I’m only 82 miles away…but worth a try?

It's a fine line.
If Brandon said he wanted Nate to start Bayless, Outlaw, Cunningham and Howard, Nate would push back.
If Brandon said he wanted Nate to start Miller, Batum, LMA and Greg, Nate probably wouldn’t.
So the key is, where is the line where Nate starts pushing back? Right now, there’s a set of fans who feel it’s a different line location than Nate does.
I think Brandon’s doing what he thinks will place the team in the best position to win. Nate must agree (or feel it’s not important enough to make waves), or else he’d do something different.
But again, whenever you say “talk to Brandon about it”… it’s really not Brandon you need to talk to, it’s Nate. He’s the one who signs off on that starting lineup.
Until (if!) we hear about Brandon working on removing Nate because he’s not doing what Brandon wants, these decisions fall squarely on the coach.
If Brandon told Nate to jump off a cliff?
(fill in the blank)
When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
MJ lobbied
for Joe Wolff over Scottie Pippen in the draft, and we’ve all seen what he’s done as a GM. Great players don’t always make great talent evaluators – it’s on the coaches/front office to make these decisions and work with the star. Not easy by any stretch, but that’s the job.

Feeling underappreciated, . . .
poor baby !! Man up and play hard no matter what the lineup.
Miller needs to get an attitude adjustment. What has he ever won ?
A Championship ? MVP ? It’s about TEAM !!!!
Even if he does not start he will still play 25 -30 minutes. That’s
plenty of time to contribute to a winning team !
GO BLAZERS !!!
COINCAST SUCKS !!!!
It's GO time !
Well . . .
As a 35 year Blazermaniac and a loooong time player/coach, I
guess I could be called “Old School”. My dad taught us one thing
about sports, “Hustle” ! I guess I’ve always applied that philosophy
to mean, work hard & give 100 % effort whether you are a starter or
a bench warmer. My teams always knew that practice would be hard
and full of drills designed to make them a better player and the games
would be where they could show their skills and in doing so would have
fun ! That’s why “Hoosiers” has always been one of my favorite movies.
“My practices are not designed to be fun” – Coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman)
It's GO time !
Well I guess that's why I agree...
I remember when Rick Adleman was a player… not a coach… for our Blazers. I’m definately old school also and the reality is that as long as the guys the Blazers put on the floor give it their very best effort I’ll support them without question… As crazy as it probably sounds I’d rather watch this bunch of quality, high character guys go 41-41 then watch Rasheed and Rueben and Bonzi Wells win 60 games.
And, yeah Hoosiers is a classic… Take Care and…
GO BLAZERS!!!

they just aren't very creative, they are chasing a story that isn't there. However Greg still is a very polarizing figure
because he was the first pick, and compared to durant he hasn’t had as quick a rise to prominence. This is a great time for greg to show everybody that he is a beast. Now that the expectations have died down, and he has had a chance to get his feet wet, and reflect, he is in a much better situation to have a breakout season.

the point is we don’t know if the Blazers would have been better with Miller. We know they were better last year than the year before, and better the year before that

Blake is as good as he will get.
Miller is a better player. It is a fact, not just my opinion. Don’t just respond with the chemistry argument. We don’t know about that until Miller gets a chance to start.

I just get tired of hearing the whole "Blake won us 54 games argument"
You don’t see other teams getting player upgrades and being so hesitant to take out weaker players. If it has to do with chemistry then fine, but just because something happened before (winning games) doesn’t mean it will happen again.
by resurrect_ha28 on Oct 20, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I understand that,
but as far as starting Blake is concerned it just doesn’t seem relevant. The whole Miller acquisition demonstrates that we needed an upgrade. I don’t doubt that we will win no matter who is in there, I just wanted to touch on the “54 win” argument.

yeah I think it's because he really didn't have any competition at the position, and he rose up to a level of competence.
Blake is very servicable but he is not as aggressive as miller. My feeling is once the team gets used to playing with miller’s style, then Bayless becomes a backup player more in miller’s style- a slashing driving guard. Blake’s got the outside shot, but if he’s missing it, then maybe there isn’t a big upside for him over miller. I’m not trying to crack on the guy, I like him and I think he is an excellent team mate, but I don’t think he creates as much as Miller.

why worry about it
the team is at half strength… means little to criticize
I did not say this. I am not here.
because we had a very poor first quarter differential last year?
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
and still won 54 games
alot of that is experience which the team lacks
I did not say this. I am not here.
so why don’t we then focus on improving the first quarter? We won 54 games in spite of poor performance.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
I'm sure they're trying
I cant see how this game can be used an example tho
I did not say this. I am not here.
doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is the definition of insanity. While this preseason means little, it hasn’t alleviated any fears I have about our starting unit.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
this is a line-up that's an anomoly
how can such inferences be drawn?
I did not say this. I am not here.
It’s only one starter difference. I also never said this game meant anything. Just judging from the whole of the preseason and last year, I fear the first quarter.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
no Oden No Lamarcus
that’s two, Batum out less then a minute… c;mon
I did not say this. I am not here.
did Nate name Oden the starter?
last I heard, he was still leaning toward Przybilla
How did you guys win that?
"We scored enough points. We scored 107, they scored 105.

"We scored enough points. We scored 107, they scored 105.
-Nate McMillan Postgame, 3/4/2009
I get your point, and agree with it, but
it is factually incorrect. We all know Oden SHOULD be the starter, and indeed he is missing. But he isn’t the starter, and thus we are only factually missing 1 starter tonight.

key word: preseason
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
hence the word choice-- "starting to get nervous"
as opposed to “actively panicking.”
Preseason doesn’t mean much, but it does mean a little. There is some correlation between preseason success and regular season success.
much of this is due to Roy and Aldridge, who have proven track records of being good performers. I’m not worried about them.
Also, it’s all about Oden. He’s performing well, we should be eminently happy about the preseason if that’s the only good news.

Even if the Blazers don't get on track until, say, January, I think they'll be playing at a very high level by the end of the season.
They should make the playoffs even if they don’t get any homecourt advantage, but should be able to beat good teams on the road by then.
My theory, and I’m sticking to it.

When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
what do you mean, specifically?
There are several things about Nate that annoy me, but I still think he’s an above average NBA coach.
I don't believe in his ability to manage this talented roster.
The treatment of his players has been confusing. To name starters then change them, talk about competition and then squash it the moment it presents itself and generally creating a complete lack of trust in what he says.
Plus, he’s failed to create a working defensive system. I’m aware it requires player effort but I believe another coach would have been able to get some semblance of defense out of an athletic roster like this one for at least a small stretch. Of course, I can’t prove this, it’s just a hunch.
We are 6 days away from the regular season and this team still doesn’t know what it’s doing. They’ve been together for over a month, I’ve seen entirely new rosters come together quicker.
The man’s a good coach but as has been highlighted before, I’m worried about his ability to adapt to change.

The box score indicates that Juwan Howard is back to being his regular old do-nothing self.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yeah, if Juwan Howard can master the art of being a high-post facilitator — which his Fab Five ...
buddy Chris Webber was golden at out on the hardwood — then short spurts alongside Greg Oden isn’t a horrible setup.

It goes to show that Travis Outlaw performs better when a team around him isn't doing well out there.
For Outlaw’s sake, he should currently be putting up empty stats on a lotto bound franchise. That way, he can make bank next summer. It’d be a win-win situation for all parties.

Good job Blake.
Way to “earn” that starting spot. We definitely need him in the first quarter, getting us off to a great start.
