Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Jazz--First Half


The first half tonight has got to be better than You-Know-When.  Energy, hustle, rebounding, and keeping somebody (anybody) out of the key would be a good start.  Discuss the proceedings here.  As always we request you keep it clean, respectful, and free of illegal links or requests for same.

I saw a news report once that showed the Obamas giving each other a fist-bump

the anchor referred to it as “fisting.”

organic or principled?

Will nate stick to his principles, ie, substitutions based upon time in a given quarter, or will he try to adjust to the way the game is being played?

interesting last night, nate tried to find who could provide energy, and keep the hot hand on the court (mr webster).

Ok, not the start I was hoping for...

The Blazerverse and The Wire: A comparison
Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMiillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
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)
John Canzano = Scott Templeton (scummy muckraker who stays up at night polishing his award)

If Roy is not a leader

we’re screwed.

He needs to step and be the man like he was last year.

Chad Ford on Oden, "He's definitely a defensive force... I don't think he'll ever put up the big numbers that Shaq did. But he could be the best big man defender in the league... frankly, having a 7 footer that can do that will produce more rings than a 6-11 small forward who can score 30 ppg. That was the thinking all along why GMs preferred Oden to Durant. KD is the sexier player and as an offensive player there is just no comparison. KD is great. Oden is aspiring to average. But defensively, Oden could be dominant. KD ... not so much."

Could have said it better myself. Thanks Mr. Ford!

I say neither.

they’ll resign Travis. that’ll be the big move.

and I think they’ll start playing better with some more practice time between games.

Larrrryyyy Brooooowwwwn!!!

Land Rondo.

"He needs to realize that he can't stop every shot, especially from a smaller and offensively potent player. Get your hands up, make him shoot it over you, but let him shoot every once in a while. They score a little but you stay in the game a lot. And when you stay in the game...smashy smashy!" Dave on Greg Oden

I hate to jump on the anti-Blake bandwagon, but..

Does he think he’s lightning fast or something? He catches the ball on the perimeter, and instead of passing it, he puts his head down and dribbles around the perimeter. It’s like he thinks nobody can keep up with him. Meanwhile, everybody swivels 20 degrees and five more seconds come off the shot clock.

Is the Blazers defense just that bad tonight or

are the jazz that hot tonight? l

Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

Bayless instead of Miller? Maybe there is something rattling around Nates skull after all..

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
