CONGRATS BLAZERS FANS!
Your bench can’t beat Utah’s starters. No shock here.

The Suns started 0-5 a few seasons ago.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
the Spurs started 0-4 last year, didn’t they?
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
I have my concerns
But honestly, they’re the same as before preseason. Nothing too surprising has happened in preseason so far.
to clarify I'm not saying we should panic or anything close
I’m just saying we shouldn’t completely ignore this. Its cause for mild concern.
try optimism. It’s lower stress.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
that is true. But you can feed your pessimism by worrying.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
also, I did go back and do the Blazersedge history. You were so, so much more optimistic.

It just takes an iron fist to keep the riff raff under control and her princess hand is mad strong- Idoltime
basically that's exactly right
I used to be a red goggles homer. I was like ZBO+MILES+TELFAIR=DYNASTY!!! Blazers FTW!!!
Ah, but I enjoy being a high-strung, vibrant son of a gun.
It’s more fun to finally unwind when you’re wound up tight for awhile, too. That way, you can fully savor true success—which in this case is winning a championship!
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
I think it’s fun to be optimistic and see things develop.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
I prefer my new perspective
If the Blazers win a title I’ll be just as happy as anyone. If they don’t, I’ll be less surprised/disappointed than most.
I try to play it
as if I were President in charge of basketball operations. … would you want your PicoBBOps an unbridled optimist, or would you want him to actually manage the thing
realistically…I strive for this perspective, not that I always achieve it….
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
of course I would also want
my PicoBBOps to press the italics button instead of the block quote button when appropriate…
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
The old adage "ignorance is bliss" translates to "bliss is ignorance."
This, without question, is a cause for concern, but the eternal optimists will foolishly ignore the signs.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
As a guy who's recently watched the Seattle Seahawks get decimated by injuries, it shows why ...
I keep harping constantly about how Portland desperately needs a productive backup 4/5 for depth and that people who take things for granted — such as saying 60 wins is automatic and folks shouldn’t fret about the possibility of players getting hurt — irk me.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Shoot, just posted before I saw the new thread
Cab, last year’s Utah @ Por preseason game looked closer than it was. Utah dumped all their bench in for the 4th and Shavlik, Batum et al made it respectable. Before that, Deron and the rest just dominated.
It was a 20+ blowout until the end.
I’m actually curious if the same thing happens tonight, with different bench players of course.
i was at that game batum had what, 18?

Por - Atl in Kansas City
Pretty sure this is the game where Larry Miller hooked up some nice Blazer fans with passes into the locker room.
ok entering opening night here’s the 8 guaranteed rotation players…
roy, blake, miller, rudy, aldridge, oden, przybilla, batum
here’s the guys on the outside…
martell, travis, howard, bayless
ninth guy right now is a toss up between travis and howard. i think martell is outside looking in. bayless is a dnp cd
i think when push comes to shove rudy gets a bulk of his minutes.
by Ben Golliver on Oct 20, 2009 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions
Howard is probably the 12th guy.
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
it will depend on matchups and whether travis gets his act together. travis has the inside track. if travis wins the spot, which i would agree is likely, then howard’s minutes fall to zero.

I led that bandwagon for awhile, but Tracy McGrady is a better passer than Kevin Durant.
Regarding contemporary players, Durant is stylistically akin to McGrady. Statistically, though, Durant age wise is most comparable to Carmelo Anthony at the same stage. Oh, and when folks mention that Durant is one of the few players in NBA history who had a PER over 20 at age 20, I mention John Drew. Who’s Drew? Exactly!
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Good points

I'm not worried too much about the Blazers because biggest problem has been turnovers.
I don’t understand a lot of what Nate does, but I do understand one thing about teams coach by Nate. Low turnovers.

Conjecture leads me to believe it’s marijuana, although it’s conceivable that his bad grades and lack of effort at school were the reasons. I can’t believe that the latter would be a deal breaker, though.
Anyway, if it’s good for Uncle Cliffy and Sheed, then it’s good for DeJuan Blair.

you seem more interested in the GM than in any of the players. Do you spend as much time on Houston’s boards? On that note, I saw David Anderson play. He does not look much like any kind of a possible likely NBA center.

When David Andersen is in the game, he'll be a tall, yet soft 4 who ought to ...
be flanked by a defensive-minded 5 like Chuck Hayes or Joey Dorsey; they can hold down the paint in spite of being undersized for the position. With that said, Rick Adelman should start Carl Landry and Luis Scola. Concerning Andersen, he should receive ample playing time; yet, that’s mostly because the alternative, Brian Cook, doesn’t offer a whole lot different than the Aussie beyond a heavier reliance on long-range bombs than mid-range jumpers.

Dante Cunningham doesn't have enough range on his shot yet to play the 3 effectively.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
not to mention
the perimeter defensive chops, he was the middle man in the zone at ’Nova
When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
But when they played man-to-man
Cunningham would usually guard the opponent’s best player (regardless of position).
Dante was the one non-guard on that team

I'm all for bringing him in for energy off the bench
I really like his game…don’t get me wrong. I just see him as more of a tough 6th or 7th man in a few years. Until then he’s only getting spot minutes on my team.
That's fair
I think he has a shot at being a dynamic 6th man, and if things continue as they are with our “pure” PGs, he has a chance to be a starter with Roy being the playmaker.

we've been down this road before with Rex
2008 Vegas summer league, 30ppg?
the regular season has a way of making the mirage of Bayless’ playing time disappear

Does he need to be to be successful here?
I think the main thing is guarding the position. Let Roy/Rudy facilitate, at least for some points in the game. It could work, especially given how committed Nate is to half-court offense.

I know you are being sarcastic, but I've wondered about him
why hasn’t he stuck anyplace? Why have teams found him expendable? Just a thought…

because Andre hasn't found his roundball "soulmate" until now

Some good players I think are just unlucky and play on bad teams
or for some reason there play doesn’t translate to winning (we’ll see if this is Durants deal, much like George Gervin). My hunch is that Andre has just played on some bad teams and that has facilitated trading him because he was regarded highly by some one else..
And he DID make the Sixers better
By all accounts.

Zach Randolph was highly regarded by the Knicks.
Oh yeah, Isiah Thomas was GM, but still…
I think everyone here would agree that Stat-Bo’s value was seriously over-inflated. Not saying that is the case with Miller, but a good player on bad teams should always have an asterisk next to their stats.
He certainly isn't making Oden better....

4th quarter, against Denver
Miller, Roy and Oden were getting it done. I hope that’s not the last time we see that trio in the game together, when it counts

So who is still wetting themselves about the lack of playing time for the bench players, now that everybody has been hurt once or twice before the season even starts...

Travis trade talk = back burner
Nate’s going to need all 15, and then some, just to make it through November

Nope
All these are minor injuries and bumps that would not keep any of the players out of a regular season game, Nate has said as much.
We have only played one game with our full roster, the first one.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
But injuries will have an effect on players' minutes even if they are minor.
They’ll still play but won’t be as effective for as long, giving backups more minutes when it’s feasible.
It just makes it worse.
Reminds me that we have a billion wings but only one perimeter defender, and one good PF.
As long as it’s only small forwards and shooting guards that get hurt we can last forever.

Jerryd Bayless isn't a smart defender, though, since he's too overagressive with his on-ball defense.
Of course, that doesn’t account for Bayless’ shoddy footwork, tiny wingspan — which makes him useless at being a ball hawk by clogging the pasing lanes — and inability to fight through screens when taking on the pick-and-roll. Indeed, Bayless is an all-around liability on defense.
I, too, badly want a point guard “who can defend,” although that ship sailed once Kirk Hinrich stayed put in Chicago.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

Nic in some serious pain apparently. isnt sure he'll even make the trip
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
wonderful, it's like Groundhog day
the little rat saw his shadow, so it’s 3 more months of Outlaw

Nate might be on the hot seat
It will be interesting to see if best player really wins the spot. One figures you need to give Travis some burn to get into last-season form before you trade him. And that playing a second-round rookie in front of him would not look good.
put a body on 'em
Yeah no
He’s far from being in any jeopardy for his job.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Not job-wise
(I thought that might come off that way after I posted)
I meant living by his own words and playing the guys who earn the time. TO has not done that.
put a body on 'em
I was talking about Batum's injury
If Nic’s out for awhile, the depth chart at SF is Webster-Outlaw
but I’m not sure I wouldn’t just deal Trav anyway, if another team really wants him
then use Udoka at backup 3 until Batum is healthy again
When reached 39 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
So did Batum go down during the game or in a previous one?
Probably read it wrong, but I thought Oregon Live said it happened in the first quarter.
Early
Minor contusion, painful as hell but no risk of long-term injury.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
No as has been said time and itme again
In the pre-season, anyone who is not 100% sits. Rudy, for example, WILL play next Tuesday.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I hear you.
Just thinking of what happened with Martell.
I was at the game tonight
Easily the worst officiating I have ever seen. The game was completely unwatchable.
I was there too
my wife spent the entire game saying, “Can we leave and go to bed yet?” “This is boring.”
Probably the best part about the game was the middle-schoolers unicycle halftime show.
Just got back from the game... you were probably thinking....Was is it even uglier in person?
Take Joakim Noah’s face, with Sheldon William’s ears, and Francisco Alberto’s hair……..that’s how ugly it was.
The refs aren’t even worth mentioning…. a pair of high school refs could have done as well.
Yuck..
Just got back from attending what I hope is the most lackluster, uninspired, terrrr-ibull exhibition of so-called basketball I ever pay to see.
The last high school basketball game I saw was WAY better than this… Better played. Better officiated. Better crowd. Much more intensity… The 9 year old game I saw last weekend was better.
This was just B-A-D…
The Blazers should give everybody that suffered through that game something…. We at least all need a few seconds with that ‘flashy thing’ from Men In Black.. (they could do that on the big screen, and cure us all, right?)
We never led. We never even threatened. We never seemed to care.
We had ZERO offensive boards without Greg (I don’t care what the stats say, a few random bounces may have fallen into unsuspecting hands, but trust me, we had ZERO offensive rebounding – effort.) I really hope that was just because Greg was out, and the officials took Joel out of it… Man, did we need Greg this game…
The officials were, for both sides, pathetic. I’ve reffed. It’s not easy. But OMG, SO-O-O many missed calls (but at least they made up for missing dozens by just completely making up the same amount). The fans will NOT put up with this in the regular season. (There was a near riot – in the 300 section – in a pre-season game – I mean, these refs were REALLY bad…)
The NBA is taking a big time risk if they don’t have the old rotten refs back… and soon…
On to the good.
Um, I got nothing….
O wait, there was one awesome fast break triggered by a block by Martell, quick outlet to Andre, two dribbles, 40 foot one bounce pass just past the defender, to Martell, who hit a ridiculous hang-in-the-air-forever (no shot on the left side of the hoop, OK, well, how about the right side), get fouled, and shoot with your entire body about 1 foot off the ground – high off the glass, and one… that was sweet…
Other than that? (except – fair Blazersedge-ettes, please ignore: but there was an amazing amount of eye candy there tonight… what, did we have a convention or something? Or is that what happens when you take your babe magnet 9 year old kid to the game, kinda like wearing a wedding ring?)
The bad…
Nic hurt his hand within the first minute. It didn’t get better.
I need to revise my picks, because this team is not looking like it will start out anything like hot… unless… Oden, LMA, and Rudy… OK, I’ll settle down, of course if you’re without three of the best 6-7 players on the team, that’s gonna hurt..
The ugly. See referees, above.
TGIP-S!
I forgot some bad...
I truly did not mean to leave Travis out of the bad section. He deserves mention. He had one block. Hit a couple of “no Trav – nice shot” hoops. That’s it. If you were there, you may have heard me yell “BOX OUT, TRAVIS!”… (I think that’s gonna be on a sign I make this year…).
Travis’ lackluster out lacklustered all the rest…
Oh, and I do have one good: I did like what Howard was trying to do, even if he just missed for two quick turnovers earlly… OK, so it’s good and bad… sigh…
soooo did we win?

It depends what your definition of “win” is… (or is is, for that matter…)
Almost ten years later...Clinton jokes never get old.
How’s about a Beavis and Butthead impression?
At just got home. Sat 7 rows from the court. Directly across the court from the Jazz bench.
I saw Casey at the end of half time going to my seat. Said whats up. Probably scared him because I recognized him. lol. It was a cool game. Blazers played no defense but fun none the less.
Outlaw just doesn't fit anymore
Sad but true. He’s looked terrible. He just doesn’t fit.
Oh Goddd
I keep trying to take my mind off my essay by reading comments about the Blazers…
But I’m finding that I end up doing the essay to take my mind off of the terrible performance tonight.

Yuck
we left at the half. Never done that before. Even by then it was clear the JV squad we had available wasn’t going to get it done.
Juwan Howard almost slapped that Dupree dude in the 4th. Howard doesn't take smack from anyone. I loved that.
He has Outlaws spot as far as I am concerned.
I like Howard on the team for intangibles like this
don’t care what AK says :-D

Well, nothing wrong with wanting better...
in fact, I could make the case that , ohhh, Kirk Heinrich would make a better back up at the four than older than dirt Howard, but as we all know, that ship has sailed… … …I josh because I love…
