JD 11-7-2k9: R.A.M.B.O=AWESOME

More after the jump
Fact: Prior to the season, the consensus for preferred starting lineup for the 'Zers was R.A.M.B.O. After Batum's surgery they resorted to R.A.W.B.O and went 2-3. By inserting Andre Miller into the lineup for Friday's game Nate created another R.A.M.B.O. combination and the Blazers won by their largest margin of the year.
Fact: Jerryd Bayless saw his first action of the year. The Blazers are 1-0 when Bayless plays. Thus the solution to all of the Blazers problems is more Baylessness (or less Baylesslessness if you prefer)
Based on the facts at hand, it is clear to see that if Nate will start Roy, Aldridge, Bayless, Miller and Oden, the Blazers will never loss a game again. It is so simple.

I just had a horrible zaching night. It was almost comedic how one bad thing kept happening to me after another.
Of course I’m still blessed to be in a warm house and have food in my fridge, so I really shouldn’t be complaining.
And I feel pretty smart for not freaking out over the ’Dre/Blake/Roy lineup.
Love.
It worked
But I don’t think it’s a good answer for things.

Rudy probably can't wait to get out

Bayless is good right now in 2-3 minute stretches as a change of pace/energy guy. But I found myself saying in that 2nd quarter -“ok, time to get him out of there” about a minute before he actually did come out.
How did you guys win that?

Morti, you briefly mentioned Petteri in passing in the game-day thread
He has upped his minutes from 14 to 19, his points from 2.8 to 6.3, his TS% from 43 to 65%, his assists from 0.8 to 2.0, his rebounds from 1.1 to 2.0, and his TOs just by 0.1 to 1 in the first 3 games this season. That brings his PER from 5 to 17.5.
He still has a long ways to go to ever make it into the NBA, but as usual for young players with more minutes and experience his production and thus his trade value certainly is on the upswing :)
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Nice!
He clearly needed more time after we watched him in summer league, and after his one shooting game to start the league off he really seemed to get overrated even though he played pretty badly the rest of the way.
I liked it when we drafted him, I like his size, he moves well, but he just didn’t seem very good… at least not yet.
More time and more experience sounds great to me. I’m glad he’s getting more time and showing he can take advantage of it! I wouldn’t say I am down on his potential, but I won’t count on him being a NBA rotation player just yet like I think we can with Freeland.
Mortimer
Yeah, at this point he looks like fellow tall point guard Sarunas Jasikevicius but with no swagger and experience
Or Beno Udrih. But the tools to be something interesting are there, able to play both guard spots and also defend at least 1 position.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Speaking of Euro guards
Kevin Martin going down might be great for Sergio… it means they can move Tyreke to the SG spot, which is more his style anyways, and start Beno with Sergio off the bench for good minutes.
And then maybe Sergio gets the chance to outplay Beno and snag that starting role… would be sweet.

I logged back on to BEdge to say something important but now I forgot what I was going to say.
Love.
I think that was a pretty good dunk by Jefferson on Oden tonight,
Of course it does nothing to change my mind over his douche-baggery for breaking off his engagement at the last minute with a text message. Yo, Dickard, you will never be confused with a real man.
I would give it all up for a billion dollars
He put both of his hands on Jefferson's waist as he raised up for the dunk
Bad idea. Coulda’ got called for a cheapie foul.
The better Oden played, the more good blocks he got, the more the refs let him play and the more they will continue to play. Over time, Oden making the small adjustments needed to not get 1 or 2 dumb fouls called on him, and the refs respecting his rep more, will mean the foul problems aren’t such a problem no mo’.
The bump on Ginobli (no matter how slight it really was, that will usually get called a foul), the non-call with putting his hands on Jefferson on the dunk… Oden needs to be more aware. Go sideways and let Manu past and play at the rim. If smartly giving up on a play and letting a guy have the bucket, just get out of the way faster. Etc.
Greg is becoming who I thought he'd become when I saw him three years ago.
It is the biggest bright spot so far this season.
"oh dear god. Please be more irresponsible". - Claire
Ya take away the fouls (which are a big thing to "take away", granted)
He is the only Trail Blazer who has been good every game.
That’s pretty cool.
Of course, the fouls, oh lordy me oh my, the fouls… if only they’d be under control, he’s an allstar. This year.
not to be a downer here, but Oden has been statistically the 4th best 2nd year center this year.
and that’s per minute. Considering how much the fouls limit PT, that’s not ideal.
Today he played very well though.
Marc has been the best of the 4, by the numbers
He’s not been the shotblocker that the other 3 (especially Oden) have been in the early going, though.
I'm glad Marc is getting touches and not being forgotten on that team
Yeah, his defense isn’t as good as the others… though Hibbert is a shotblocker, I’d say Marc is likely a better actual defender.
haven't seen enough of Hibbert to judge that
To be fair to Oden, those 3 I mentioned have all been really good— so its not like he’s getting outplayed by some chumps.
It just happens to be a really good class— even though Oden and Marc weren’t part of the draft class— for Centers.
Hibbert just super slow and can be beat easy
His super height and length makes him a good shotblocker though.
He is a very stiff guy who, if he can be taught the basics, will be a good big. He is getting taught the basics, and will always be useful but very slow and stiff.
I watched most of his game against NY
I was really impressed with him and Granger. I know it was against NY, but I think they can get into the playoffs.
Indy has looked really bad otherwise
Wasn’t that their first win?
Of course, Granger hasn’t shot over 40% in any game I don’t think…
haha, no, I'm mostly just playing
I do still think Tyreke will win ROY, but he only had his first good game recently. He’s been not good otherwise, and his percentages are awful.
I still think his role will be so big
And he’ll get so many chances to produce, that he won’t help but put up good numbers that get ’da votes.
so then you can't say they all suck.smh

Lawson is fine
He’s a tiny dude.
I’m just kidding, they don’t all suck. Curry will have some big scoring nights when he gets hot, Psycho T will be solid, when Griffin gets healthy and gets a chance to run he’ll have some awesome dunks and stuff, Tyreke will do some cool stuff… it isn’t all bad.
Just a sorta weak rookie class with no clear leader for ROY aside from Jennings right now. That’d be pretty surprising if he won, but it’d be cool.

averaging 9.5 ppg and 5.8 apg. Playing big minutes and they are running a lot, which inflates his numbers.
He’s been good though— good passer, good shooter.

lol like the whole team! lmao

by portlandgiirl91 on Nov 7, 2009 2:05 AM PST up reply actions
Compared to NY
They were spaced well and seemed to know where each other was going to be. I’m no expert but they never really looked out of control or confused.
They had some big scoring nights last season
Where it all clicked. I thought they had a shot at the playoffs to start the season because their style can win enough games, but they started so badly…
And Murphy went down. Is he back?
Marc can move and use his body
But he doesn’t really play other bigs as tough as he could, doesn’t challenge a lot of shots, and is still more like a Euro big on defense.
He knows what to do though, and I think he’ll be a good smart defender, but not like the others in actual defensive impact.
Oh, Marcy Gasoline
Well that’s fine I guess.
Kaman statistically would deserve to be the backup center in the allstar game obviously, but I doubt he goes since the Clippers will suck.
It is all moot since I don’t see Oden getting the fouls under control that quickly, but if he does, his namebrandness and EASY double double and blocks and our subsequent good record if he does get his minutes under control would = allstar though.
Was looking this up after hearing how well they all went tonight (Oden, Hibbert, Lopez)
The numbers aren’t in Oden’s favour but there is very little difference between these three plus Bynum if you look at per minute numbers.
Major difference is Oden is getting about half the shot attempts of the other three (justified – NJ and IND stink so need the offense and Bynum deserves the touches). Oden leads (?) in fouls and turnovers, not so great, but also has the best shooting percentages, defensive and total rebound rates and block rate.
Personally I think we are putting Oden in a tougher situation than last year – I haven’t seen any easy dunks this year from others driving and making the pass when doubled (perhaps because we aren’t driving!) and he doesn’t seem to be getting many tip ins which accounted for about a third of his points last year. I think things will improve for him as the team builds chemistry and starts playing more aggressive so long as he can reduce those fouls and turnovers and stay on the court.
BTW – I’m 100% sure he is the best post defensive guy in that bunch – D rating backs this up although I don’t like that stat much. Still pretty confident in his ability to lock down the paint – Not so much for the others
"What happened to Bayless anyway? Did he turn into a pumpkin? Most teams don’t just let #11 picks rot." - Xiane
Hibbert also has big foul problems
He did last year anyways, so maybe that argument doesn’t hold water.
I do agree, oden will do better if he isn’t pulling himself out of the game with foul probs.
I just looked at Hibberts numbers again
Hibbert has actually dropped his fouls/36 from 7.7 to 4.9, so that does’t explain why he’s only getting 26 mpg.
Would be nice to see Oden drop his foul rate down below 5 per 36.
Hibbert won't ever be a guy who plays big minutes, I don't think
Due to his size and slowness and how much it seems to take out of him moving up and down the court.

he was much better defending under the basket tonight. He hesitated on shooters and only went for the block after it was out of the shooters hands
and that was def a good decision. He’s finally seeing how a couple of points are less valuable than a foul committed by him. Good stuff.

— Jefferson said that he did e-mail her because he wanted to get his thoughts down in an organized fashion.
— Jefferson explained why they decided to end it. “We’d been arguing non-stop,” Jefferson said. “There was a lot of screaming and crying.”
— Jefferson reportedly gave his former fiancee a six-figure amount. “I didn’t have to do anything,” Jefferson said. “I chose to give her an amount.”
— Jefferson said he wasn’t relieved or happy about this. “I’m upset,” Jefferson said. “I lost my best friend.”
— Dan asked Jefferson about allegations about his sexuality that were addressed in the New York Post.
“You can’t fight the internet,” Jefferson said of rumors about his sexuality. “They start spreading rumors and it starts snow-balling.”
What do you think caused Nate to play Bayless in this game?
The fear he would get very frustrated with his 6th DNP-CD in series? Probably not. That he knew how to play against George Hill from summer league? Not sure, as Ben pointed out Bayless wasn’t playing very good against him and had 7 TOs. A strong focus on 3-guard lineups?
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
nate likes playing 2 PGs or playing no PGs apparently.
"oh dear god. Please be more irresponsible". - Claire
I liked that he went straight to work trying to draw fouls or score inside
His defense didn’t look any better than Blake’s or Miller’s, but at this point I’m just happy that he got another game to show what he can do and gain experience. If we had a superstar point guard I wouldn’t mind him guarding the gatorade, but since that’s not the case he should get some chances this season. No point guard looks good if he only gets thrown into blowouts, and I’m sure you could find games where any young player got outplayed by the vets. I also hate the “if he was any good he would get minutes from the veterans argument”. But that narrative, Nelson is right to play Moore over Randolph, VDN to play Hinrich over Rose, and the Cavs could have played Ricky Davis over a young LeBron.

If you win two championships like 40 years ago
It counts as negative 2 championships when that equals the Mecca.
Boston and LA have much more claim to being a Mecca
Both for talent, championships, relevance, everything.
Even when the Knicks were getting beat by the Bulls in the ECF every year, they haven’t mattered in forever.
And I even LIKE the Knicks… but geez, who made them the Mecca?
the Knicks are not the reason people consider NY the mecca
Its just the insane amount of players it has produced and the passion for bball there. And the fact that it is a large market.
But they call Madison Square Garden the Mecca
Yeah, lots of good players come from NY and California due to their size.
But it seems like they call MSG the mecca, not that the city has produced a lot of talent…
The Knicks get way too much "storied franchise" status
And yeah, it’s just because they are an old franchise, and are in NY…
It's not the same arena it was way back when Joe Louis boxed there :)
And really, the idea that LeBron has to be in NY to make the most out of his marketing opportunities is pretty 1980s.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
You mean Rucker Park?
Yeah, Rafer “Skip to my Lou” Alston, Jamaal Tinsley, Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair, …
It’s really a breeding ground of awesome NBA talent.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Ron Artest came from NYC
Who is a current NBA star from NY?
Again, seems like LA is much more relevant even that way…
Here is the list of all NBAers who went to HS in New York State
There are surprisingly few active players from the 5 boroughs
Just teasing. Yes it has seen good players, including also AI and Kareem and Earl Monroe.
But it has produced just as many bustish or selfish players. Add Kenny Anderson, Malik Sealy, and Monster Mash to the list. So it’s somewhat overrated like most things.

I have few friends from there
We could hunt koala bears because they are evil. I think it would be nice to see what Quigley saw.
If you get to New Zealand
Skip the north island and come straight to the south. All the scenery, none of the pain in the ass stuck up people

I'm not sure why we'd go to NZ
My wife said I said I want to go. I’d really rather spend a lot of time in SE Asia as long as we stay out of Muslim countries.
The can't even help it
I heard guys went there to throw a game for the mob, but New York just makes them blow up and be awesome.
Once you get to the Mecca of basketball
Where all of the current stars of the game are from, like Kobe and Chris Paul and Lebron and Wade and Howard (all are from Brooklyn, born and raised), the legends of basketball past just fill your spirit and lift your game to epic heights.
Who else is actively playing today
And is good?
Iverson, that’s one, I didn’t know he was from NY.
Artest.
I really don’t know, I didn’t intend to have a point, but I can think of a lot more people from LA than NY.
Definitely.

Fits perfectly

I just meant that he fits perfectly on that team. He should become a talent scout after his active playing days.

I like this:
In the closing seconds of a game against Utah, Davis was one rebound short of his first career triple-double. In an effort to record that rebound, Davis deliberately missed a shot at his team’s own basket. Afterwards, he was fouled by Utah’s DeShawn Stevenson in retaliation for his perceived unsportsmanlike behavior, and was later fined by his own team.
Love.
Indiana is the real Mecca of basketball.
NYC should stick to being a lame sport’s Mecca.

Indiana is overrated
are they really more passionate about hoops than, say, Kentucky or Kansas or North Carolina? I dunno.
you had me until North Carolina.
Then I just see blue and get sick.

Does that mean the Celtics are still trying to win enough championships for all of those negative championships that they won?
"oh dear god. Please be more irresponsible". - Claire
They won some since those though
And thus don’t talk about their championship from their current players grandparent’s era.
And since the Yankees get all the good players
It seems like people think the Knicks will also, but when has that ever happened?
