If you don't see any Maggette flops
it means you were probably watching a different game.

Warriors announcers raving at Portland's defense
They don’t seem to be looking at it in a pace-adjusted way, but you can’t ask for everything.
Yeah they didn't seem to understand that however.
They used non-pace-adjusted stats. No biggie, still nice to be recognized.
They're TV announcers :)
Even if they did understand pace-adjusted stats, the average viewer doesn’t.
Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.
Can we get a 4th Jersey, exactly the same as Portland's normal jerseys...
…only with “Balzers” on the front?
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Let's GO Balzers!!!...
Let’s GO!!

Hopefully NBA LPBB works for this game.
They’ve been pretty screwed up tonight.

I still want to watch the Kings come back.
Sorry Norsk.

WARRIORS KEYS TO THE GAME
1. Ball movement.
2. Drive at Oden.

the rose red uniforms are great
of course the black ones are the best in the league
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
Yes!
Greg is going to be covered by Corey Maggette if this keeps up

Anthony, the guy coming in at the 5, is said by the GSW announcers to be a foul machine that does NOT match with Oden physically.

He is a PF-SF, but somehow Nelly has decided his future is backup center. FAIL.

Someone in the know told me that Oden is having as just as hard a time with fouls this year as he was last year. This person referenced his fouls per minute which was apparently the same. How can this be? I’ve been watching a few more games and I thought I saw a noticable difference. Anyone know?

For those who have the Blazers feed
You’re missing the lovefest on the GSW feed.
The W’s announcers don’t just love the Blazers, they’re in love with the Blazers. They’re already picking out an inappropriately expensive Christmas gift for them, and are trying to figure out how to ask them out for Valentine’s Day.
They can have a couple of our players

Nate made it clear that it's not about his ankle now, it's about his inexperience.

If the problem is inexperience, then how is a DNP-CD going to fix that? If they don’t think he can play, trade him and get some value.

playing Bayless as the only PG in a game is bad. Giving him 5-6 minutes a game at the two guard instead of Blake is good.

Kobe and get him fouled out every night? That blocking call was so late.

Hi
Is Nate Macmillan there. Juwan Howard is not fast. Joel Przybilla is not fast. Greg Oden dominates. Jerryd Bayless is perfect for this game. Dante Cunningham is a better option than Juwan Howard. I don’t want to see anyone gather-dribble under the rim off of their own foot EVER again.
Nate, call a timeout 8 GSW points ago to keep them from getting worked up. You’re so stupid. Jerryd Bayless. Jerryd Bayless. Jerryd Bayless…
No wonder we’re losing.
Steph Curry is going to be a quality PG in the NBA

If GO doesn’t get the ball the first 20 Blazer possessions, something is wrong. Seriously wrong.
If he can’t get good post position he can easily pass out. They’ll probably double him immediately. Let he and Dre do that nifty give and go down the lane about 10 times and lets see Greg end up with a triple double
They started out going to him
Nate even kept in him until 3 min left because he had no fouls, then he got two quickies and went to the land of no return

Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
Precisely
screw the foul problems, honestly. You want to know what would have happened if you had played LMA and Oden right during that run and they ended up fouling out down the stretch? YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO PUT OUT THE EXACT SAME LINEUP YOU JUST DID! Second quarter points count exactly the same as fourth quarter points.

Yeah, he's literally finished. You and I knew that, though, which can't be said for Larry Miller and KP.

Nate is not the kind of guy to let his team play through bad stretches normally, unlike say Phil Jackson

Sorry but Roy has been very disappointing this year
A real superstar would never let that kind of quarter happen to his team.

Every team has quarters like this.
Every. Single. Team. LeBron had a half like this, no more that two days ago.
Thats taking it too far
but he was a non factor after that awful non-call.

I grudgingly agree.
He should be calling for the ball, pointing at where he wants his guys.
And then work for his shot.
That simple.

well he tried
demanded the ball in the post. problem was that his teammates started missing open shots and then they took advantage of Juwan being horrible and used his man to double.

Manu, Dwayne, Kobe...
Can handle double teams.
And when they know their team is running scared, they carry them.

last thing we needed was Brandon forcing it into a double team
that just creates more turnovers and problems. Having Dante/LMA/anyone else in there instead of Juwan and Brandon dominates that 2nd quarter.

I respectfully disagree that Roy pushing himself against a double team is always bad.

reading all of these italicized posts I am subconsciously adding inflection as I read. It’s really funny.
i cry for nic
Which browser are you using?
Nothing is italicized for me on firefox.
I am using firefox and lots of posts are italicized for me too
it’s funny and classy looking.

Oh weird...
I see the italics in safari, but not in ff.
It was for me.
I think it’s a server problem where some see it and some don’t.
Many see it on a full F5 refresh.
It has been funky for me in Safari, too.

That was seriously embarrassing.
Coach has to take HUGE amount of blame. If he starts blaming his players afterwards…grrrr.
you are a blazer fan man think alittle
look at the whole game not just one half he is playing for the win and right now he has strong big guys that will be fresh for 2nd half not in foul trouble
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
IMO
Nate should blame Roy.
He should blame Roy for all of it after the game.
He should question Roy’s fire and competitiveness.
That should be the entire post game talk.

We are fine
Nate is saving our bigman for the 2nd half and that is okay let them have there run right now that is what they do but with a short bench the blazers are just going to pound that ball inside all second half guarntee they win by 10 or more
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
That's my take, but knowing Nate and his ludicrous small-ball-matching preferences, I'll believe the win when I see it.

Nate's Plan:
Take everyone out, use up our lead to coast into the 2nd half, then hopefully come out and dominate while the starters play the entirety of the last two quarters (or at least just blake)
Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.
We'll be fine so long as Oden can stay on the floor.
Awful second quarter, but not insurmountable by any means.
I believe we will win, also. The Warriors are turrble. But why make it much harder than it needs to be?

It is somewhat troubling.
I don’t care as long as we win, but we can’t have letdowns like this against quality teams.
Nate is a young coach, with a young team.
I agree he has his blunders, but get a freeking grip people! The sky is so NOT falling! He just needs to learn to take a chance and steop out of his comfort zone. It wil work out.
Let's say he doesn't step out of it.
How many years do you want for him to step out of it before you say “ok, time to find someone that will”?
Serious question.
and a very good one.
Not exactly sure. I am of the school of thought that we have not quite opened the championship window. We overachieved last year partly due to his ability to get the most out of his players. Starting to think he may be a poor tactition…but not ready to give up on him either. Needs to show improvement in his game management by the end of the year. IMHO, he is a good coach that needs to grow with this team. Not willing to wait YEARS either.
I absolutely REFUSE to allow the crappy age excuse to be used, particularly for Nate, who has been around for nearly a decade as a head coach.

They went after him and they are going to do it again in the second half.

miss layups, dribble the ball off his foot, be too slow to make cuts for passes two different times
resulting in turnovers charged to the passer…he’s a triple threat on offense.

Maybe a new coach isn't really all that bad of an idea.
We need someone who has no favorites. They’re going to have their best players on the court as much as possible.
maybe we can convince paul allen and KP
to let Blazersedge collectively coach the team for a game? at least we wouldnt give up leads to the GSW’s
New coach?
This is one half in the 13th game of the season after they just went 54-28 they are missing there solid SF off the bench and you are going to say they need a new coach you are an aboslute IDIOT
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
i think Nate has the rotations scripted out on a crib sheet
And no deviation is allowed no matter what is happening on the floor
