Tonight's question for the Nets broadcasters:
“Should the Nets bring in Allen Iverson?”
Answer from the Nets broadcasters: “No.”
Correct answer.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch anything from the Hornets - Bucks game. Despite OT a through and through bad game.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
Rice says
He (Boone) did everything but hit him with a hammer.
""He's (Andre Miller's) a big breath of fresh air for me," Oden said. "When he comes into the game, he's like, 'G.O., we are going to run a play for you so you can try to get the other big man in foul trouble.' That definitely puts a big smile on my face."
Nate, the foul manager.
I’m glad the Blazers have a foul manager, we just need a coach. Oden came out with energy and aggressiveness to start the game. He and Lopez both pick up fouls early in the 1st. The Blazers, not once, ran a play for Oden or drove against Lopez to try and pick up that 2nd foul.
Miller comes into the game and does a good job of running the team, but has to play behind Steve Blake who does nothing but pound the ball and pass to the wing player.
It’s so frustrating to watch this team play because they are capable of so much more.

They nailed Greg with a quick foul, then called a makeup foul on the other center
Now maybe we can play.
Make up call against Oden followed by a make up call against Lopez...

Oden is getting respect from the referees at the offensive end
He’s getting more foul calls. Improved offense will do that for you.
Nets are not an 0-14 team, by the way.
They are much better than the Timberwolves.

I really like what GO is doing
the minutes have been limited (ditch the Oden rules Nate) but he’s too much for the Jersey centers to handle

Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)

Lawerence Frank.
He’s going straight at Oden trying to draw that 4th foul with Lopez.

That assumes so many things
Including the ability for Brandon to play with them, and Nate to use them properly.
I like what we have to begin with, so I'm biased
but I can’t see Brandon fitting well with a volume shooter like Durant. Great individual talents, but oil and water in terms of style

Credit the Nets.
Frank has them playing a good controlled pace and forcing the Blazers to double Lopez. They’re exploiting the pick and roll plays as while. Blazers are asking Steve Blake to run the offense, Roy is standing around, and Oden has gotten just a couple of looks.

I'm trying not to be negative
but what is Blake adding right now? He has a role on this team, but if he’s not hitting shots, Nate should try Rudy or Bayless

Rudy got yanked fairly quickly late in the second
Bayless replaced him. It may have just been a defensive adjustment, but it came off as a removal for punitive reasons.
No, that is the substitution pattern he used in the last game...

Why is Blake’s leash comparable to Roy’s, while Rudy, Bayless, and Oden all are on pins and needles? Seems backwards

MB: Nothing comes easy for Portland.
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.
Difference between McMillan and Frank.
Every possession Lopez is involved in a post up or pick and roll. Oden is taken out of the game with 3 fouls in the 3rd quarter.

One thing.
Roy is if feeling it right now. He should try to take over a little now, if he’s at all successful, then when Oden comes back we can drop the hammer with him on the Nets.

I know For sure LMA hates Sean Williams.

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.
He has no future in NJ either
They didn’t pick up his contract option, and tried like mad to move him at the last deadline in a VC package. No takers.

I think Nate just wants Oden fresh for the 4th quarter
I hope anyway…
Is Roy going to step up at least in the 4th?
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.
I wonder
if GO will get pulled in 4th quarter when he gets his 4th foul
Greg
Mark my words... Dante Cunningham will be an all star
Here is where sitting Oden either pays off big or does not.

actually the reason I hate it,
is cuz Oden is foul prone, but officials aren’t quick to blow the whistle on the sixth foul unless it’s a blatant call. But when he has just 3 to go into the fourth, they’ll have no problem calling 2 fouls and giving him five. That doesn’t hurt him, but it hurts the team foul category, which can have them shooting earlier in the quarter.

Players of the game: Miller, Oden, Rudy, and Dante.

He actually did a better job of not funneling players directly to Greg tonight
He recovered and stayed in front of them a bit better tonight. I wonder if it came up on video.

Also let Hassell or CDR get to the hoop along the baseline.

I know many of you will disagree with that, but he was playing for the 4th Quarter and he won the bet. And there were no fouls to spare.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Blake hit a big 3, but here's what bugs me
and it’s not the free throws. Who was out there when the lead grew – Miller. Who got Rudy, GO, and the Inferno rolling in the 2nd half – Miller. What was the most effective Blazer lineup tonight – Miller, Rudy, Martell, Inferno, Oden.
Andre Miller makes his teammates better. Steve Blake is a deadeye three point shooter. There is a role for both of them on this team, but the lion’s share of the PG minutes and the role of closer at PG in close games should belong to Andre Miller – he’s earned it.

It's all because KP didn't take Blair.

If he took Blair with 31, he would have taken Pendy with 33 and he'd be elsewhere...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
No, you know that Pendy was higher on his chart, because he took him over Inferno...
31 Pendy, 33 Blair
31 Blair, 33 Pendy
Either way, given KP’s demonstrated preferences, if he took Blair he would not have landed Inferno.

It's hard to judge
Lopez is putting up numbers on a team that hasn’t won in 15 games. Oden is a defensive force and improving offensive player on a team trying to make a playoff run.
They really don’t have much of a comparison point right now. As Blazer fans, it’s hard to ignore what Oden is doing for the team. I don’t think Lopez would bring as much in the middle for us.
Oden
Lopez is farther along offensively, but he wouldn’t get as many touches with Portland. Oden is becoming very efficient of offense, and the only center who has the impact GO does on the defensive end is Dwight Howard.

Dante > Outlaw
In a couple of areas. Defensive rotations and a quicker decision making with the ball.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
Dante definitely knows the game
""He's (Andre Miller's) a big breath of fresh air for me," Oden said. "When he comes into the game, he's like, 'G.O., we are going to run a play for you so you can try to get the other big man in foul trouble.' That definitely puts a big smile on my face."
Would you prefer a steady stat line with at most 10 points or would you rather the occasional outburst of 25 points?
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
defense and consistency all day every day.

They are actually sort of different players though.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Travis is a wing who Nate runs out of position as a big; Dante is a true big...
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
If you look at his body, he looks like a SF, but seeing him play, it's pretty clear he has the mentality of a PF. Which is GOOOOOD.
That bit where he was talking about “tightening the paint” makes me grin. HE GETS IT.
"A bizarre and extremely rare hybrid Blazer/Laker fan, Timbo has always struggled to contain the Beast Within, like Dr. Jekyll, Bruce Banner, or Ted Kennedy." — Miled Animal
Dante plays more like a true big.
He’s a bit undersized.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
Houston uses a Center who is 6'6", so his perceived lack of size is relative.
I really believe rebounding is more about technique and attitude than pure size.
