What?
Brandon Jennings is a pure point guard like, oh, a young Kenny Anderson or Rod Strickland.
Jennings is far from perfect — as he’s got some defensive issues and, on occasion, can try to take a game over himself — nevertheless, the kid is in a perfect situation with Scott Skiles as his head coach.
At any rate, though, Jennings isn’t close to being a considered “gunner,” which is a label that applies to undersized me-first shooting guards like, oh, the Trail Blazers own Jerryd Bayless.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
prediction: you're going to eat some Bayless crow, before all is said and done
by blacknoiseNW on Nov 11, 2009 8:56 PM PST up reply actions
Say, I thought you were telling jscot
that you wanted to see Jerryd get some additional burn courtesy of Blake?
Huh?
You must’ve confused me pimpin’ Kirk Hinrich as an endorsement of Jerryd Bayless.
Anyhow, Steve Blake is a much, much better fit for this offense — whether it’s at the 1 or the 3, which he can do as a spot-up three-point shooter on the weakside corner — than Jerryd Bayless, who’s strictly an undersized 2.
Blake is bad on defense due to being relatively unathletic, yes. Bayless, however, has poor defensive fundamentals, uses his hands way too much — which gets him into foul trouble — rather than improve his footwork, is terrible at fighting through screens, and can’t adequately clog the passing lanes due to his tiny wingspan.
As it stands, I don’t think Bayless should be seeing any playing time beyond garbage minutes.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
The longer you hold this stance, without any acknowledgement of improvements in Bayless' game, the less I take it seriously.

he got 15
I picked Blazers for first dunk and they got that

True
That’ll probably be another deterrent against guys choosing Europe over college. I don’t think we’ll see many more high-level recruits taking the path Jennings took

Wonderful stuff from the Blazers tonight
I particularly enjoyed Wild Rice’s commentary about cigars at the end of the game. I think it should be obligatory that he announce all games half in the bag. “Why did they foul [Martell] there? This is an NBA game. It’s not a two-point game. It’s a twenty-one point game.” Thanks Mike.
Also good was MB’s line of, “Martell coming on nicely at the end to rack up some, ah, Derek Anderson buckets we’ll call them.”

Agreed. He gets to play his game.
I mean, I don’t want that particular kind of big man game on the Blazers, but I’m glad Channing found a place to play it.
+1
happy for channing, hes doing well now hes found a place that suits him more and he gets some minutes
I concur with y'all on this issue.
If Channing Frye wants to be a modern-day Brad Lohaus, then he can do it on another team’s dime.
Although Frye has extended his range and helps spread the floor offensively for Phoenix, he’s still a sieve on defense for a team that won’t go far in the playoffs.
Anyway, here’s to the best of luck for him.

For the record
I loved Nate’s rotation tonight. I still think Rudy should start, but I see the utility of having him come off the bench (spark off the pine, avoid playing Rudy and Blake together for defensive reasons, open up minutes for Bayless).
As for Oden, I would love to see him get 28-18 on a night like this in 30+ minutes, but Portland needs him for the end of the season/playoffs. Individual accolades like the All Star Game are great, and will come for the big man, but the long term is what the team is (and should) be focused on.
I hate Comcast
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I need to stop being so hard on Steve Blake. Even though I'd rather see him as a top 5 backup PG than an undersized starting SG, he's a Bazer, he works hard, he has earned respect.
rudy keeps being as careless as he was he's gonna find himself being the most likely to be traded (at least until my boy martel takes that spot)
The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out, burns out farms, and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.
I think because he got into that shooting slump he went into “make stuff happen” mode. And that mode means throwing the ball around like a psycho.
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
I might.
martell my bad. (knew that was commin given the nice friendly prime and proper police tend to frequent this board more than others)
I’ll plead for forgiveness when I get my 15 rebounds out of Oden.

Dont know
what to do with Rudy. When Miller gets traded it will open up some playing time but his role will still be complicated because of Martell and Batum. If only you could mesh Rudy and Batum into one player.
I don't think Miller is getting traded unless we get a no-brainer trade. He is getting us easy buckets.
by dario argento on Nov 11, 2009 8:16 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah, Andre Miller is a wonderful table setter for the post players — especially Greg Oden — thus, ...
even though he’s a poor fit next to Brandon Roy, the guy provides a much-needed service on this team.
It’s too bad that Roy is reluctant to defer somewhat by distributing more often to Oden inside; yet, since that’s the case, Miller fills a niche.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
Roy has been better at feeding the post than Miller, so far
Until this season, he didn’t do it much – but Roy has been dishing off after driving to the middle more than I have ever seen. Started with one dumpoff a few games ago, and tonight he had several more (and more than Miller).
I’m not complaining about Miller tonight, though. Roy must get his props for developing his game.
by blacknoiseNW on Nov 11, 2009 9:09 PM PST up reply actions
Either way, let's hope for the best here.
If nothing else, Andre Miller could be pushing Brandon Roy — whether it’s openly in practice or, perhaps, some sort of subconscious competitive thing between alpha males — to be more of a facilitator to the post players.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
I agree - I think Miller is having that affect on Roy
I haven’t been a big fan of Miller’s performances to date, but the kind of game he played tonight is almost perfect (but for the two three point shots). Miller should get a $10K fine every time he attempts a three.

Y'all should participate in a proverbial group hug.
Neither BBG (who offended faith) nor faith (who offended Heymoe) typed anything that went over the line. BBG was just stating his own opinion, faith just used some tactless hyperbole while stating his opinion to counter BBG, while Heymoe just overreacted a tad bit when stating his opinion to counter faith.

becuase it is an appropriate word for what I believe would have happened.
I’ve seen a few nice fluff peices on bayless laying around on this board and when someone gets bored enough to read it, it usually turns ugly kinda like our jack vs sergio debates.
I’m just saying a comment like that goes against the masses and it takes a brave soul to rise against the swath that is blazersedge.

You see the replay? he got hit *hard* on that one.
(then it looked like he was gonna cry as he knelt on the baseline, hehe)
I shudder about Oden having to step out to guard Channing at the 3 point line
But then, they’d have to stop him down low at the other end. One 3 pointer and out vs. multiple crack around the basket…I like our chances.
Oden on Amare is even more frightening
especially since he like to work high elbow area face up. Greg would pick up 2 fouls just by staring at him.
Yeah, LaMarcus Aldridge should defend Channing Frye when Portland takes on Phoenix.
While Aldridge is an overmatched man-to-man interior defender and lazy weakside help defender, he’s actually a decent one-on-one perimeter defender against pansy frontline guys like Frye. Frye would be a bread-and-butter matchup for Aldridge, who should thrive on both ends of the court in that case.

This is correct. Frye is useless if he can't rain open-look 3s. And we know who's better between those two.
I’ve watched about 3 or 4 Phoenix games in a row and I’ll tell ya, you HAVE to play them right or you will use. The way that Nate bogged down Memphis is exactly what needs to be done. Phoenix runs out on makes and they run out on misses and you’ve absolutely got to have gazelles on the floor at all times, playing safety valve at that to keep them from cherry picking.
They will try to trick you into playing 5-on-4 on the offensive end, making you pay 2 points no matter whether you make or miss. It’s way better to just play 4-on-4, if that’s what it takes.

Wow, that's a weird typo... A rhyming word spelled nothing like what I was trying to say...
I’ll tell ya, you HAVE to play them right or you will use.
I’ll tell ya, you HAVE to play them right or you will LOSE.

Ah, it's all good. I've been making off-the-wall grammatical errors left and right lately myself.
That aside, though, you’re correct about how to defend the Phoenix Suns. Even if Portland correctly slows it down to a crawl on offense against the Suns, that team will run like the wind when the opportunity presents itself — whether it’s after a make, miss, or turnover by the Trail Blazers — thus, getting back on defense very quickly and preventing easy open shot attempts is of the utmost importance.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
