JD 11-7-2k9: R.A.M.B.O=AWESOME

Dscn1803_1__tiny by tingeyga on Comment 1129 comments


More after the jump

Star-divide

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.

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.

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

by Norsktroll on Nov 7, 2009 12:49 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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.

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.

by idoltime on Nov 7, 2009 1:03 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:43 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

One more, I can’t think of anyone…

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:47 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:50 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by jksnake99 on Nov 7, 2009 1:52 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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’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.

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?

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 2:03 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:56 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:49 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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

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.

by Mortimer on Nov 7, 2009 1:53 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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 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.”

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?

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.

And then declares Randolph a “backup center”, with – of course – sub-par rebounding. So no playing time there either. Because he can’t pass and shoot well enough for what he wants out of a forward. I think the guys from FreeDarko are going to hang themselves the way he handles Randolph, Curry, and Ellis.

He's under 6'5" is why.

I predicted he would much with A-Rand, but I didn’t think he’d do it SO badly. It’s ridiculous.

Your team sucks bad already, and you’re playing MIKKI MOORE over developing a good young player with a lot of potential…

Biedrins and Turiaf seem also banged up a bit

He seems to have a love-hate bipolar relationship with Randolph, really one of the big steals of his draft. I get why we don’t play Bayless, but what is the Warrior’s excuse?

Wow, great game, we actually looked like a team out there.

Also: 90% at the free throw line tonight.
If we had some of that earlier we might have 2 more wins this year, not to mention the way we turned it over in those 1st few games. 12 TO’s tonight.
So up until tonight, even with the horrible cohesion and lackluster ball movement, we be close to a 4-2, or 5-1 team this year.
Wasn’t sure what the RAMBO was ‘cause I only got to hear a little of the 3rd quarter tonight at work.
Greg and Joel combined 43 minutes tonight. I don’t think I want to see them with 35 minutes combined again.

I can see Wade or Lebron teaming with Bosh

but there’s no way all 3 would work. There’s no way 2 high usage slashing wing players can share the ball effectively. Bosh with either of those guys would be pretty good though.

John Hollinger also described in his article that Chicago, or even Minnesota would be better cities for winning than Cleveland or NY
Let me throw out an even crazier proposition — Minnesota. The Wolves will have the cap space to make a run at LeBron, depending on a few variables — or at the very least can get there fairly easily if they know there’s a chance for a player of this caliber. (Declining an option on Ryan Gomes, for instance, is done much more easily if it allows you to replace him with the best player in the league.)

Minnesota is generally thought of as one of the NBA’s least-desirable relocation options, but let’s consider it from a winning perspective. Who would you rather play with for the next five years: Al Jefferson or Anderson Varejao? Kevin Love or Ilgauskas? Ricky Rubio or Mo Williams? Jonny Flynn or West? Ramon Sessions or Daniel Gibson? Next year’s fourth pick or next year’s 24th? It’s obvious, isn’t it?

And as Howard Beck points out in today’s New York Times, the advantages of one city over another are minimal from a financial perspective — it’s as easy to put Cleveland, Minnesota or Sacramento on national TV as it is the Knicks. Really, the main considerations are who LeBron wants to play basketball with and whether he can handle living in that city day-to-day.

Mhm, big non-story?
San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum has an agreement with a prosecutor in his home state of Washington that could settle his misdemeanor marijuana charge, The Columbian reported Friday.

The Vancouver, Wash., newspaper said Clark County prosecutors have reached a deal with a lawyer for the 2008 Cy Young Award winner that would result in a $250 fine for possessing a marijuana pipe.

Grant Hansen, a Clark County deputy prosecutor, told the newspaper his office is willing to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of possessing 3.3 grams of marijuana. – AP

Are you going to read it?

I realized the other day why I don’t like the Free Darko book. It reminds me of the Simpson’s or South Park when they have those lame yo yo or rapping groups come in to teach the school not to smoke or do drugs. It was like the Darko book was trying to make stats sound hip for the kids. I pretty much read the whole thing and was irritated the whole way through. I’m afraid that’s what Simmon’s book will do to me. I think two4larue is Bill Simmons.

Yeah I won't read it
There is only one writer on the planet who possesses enough basketball knowledge and passion to write the definitive book on the NBA.* Bill Simmons, the from-the-womb hoops addict known to millions as ESPN.com’s Sports Guy, is that writer. And The Book of Basketball is that book.
From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens–and then closes, once and for all–every major pro basketball debate.

From Amazon

I don’t care who the 96 greatest players are in the NBA. I don’t care about the hall of fame. I don’t care about the best team ever, just the best team this year.

The JD has such a huge variety of tastes, that I’m not sure you’ll find something you like.

Sophia doesn’t believe this but i told her it’s true. i encourage her to be super tall.

I got in a fight last night with a drunk fan. Here is my story, profanity is masked but not all the way b/c it will take away from the story

I left my seat at about 1 minute until the half. i was headed to find someone and started down to the main concourse. I was wearing very high heals and the entire way , with each step, my feet hurt worse and worse – I walked around the entire concourse and didn’t find who i was looking for and in extreme frustration said “eff it” and went with BRP to the fan-shop so I could buy my son an all black blazer hat.

Once inside it was PACKED. This isn’t a surprise, however if anyone has been inside the fan-shop, you know there is a. no order, b. a hugely long line, c. 2 cash registers and d. no air ventilation. It’s a breeding ground for impatience and hostility

Enter: Sophia with aching feet

Brp and I immediately find our items to purchase and get into line to the cash register in the back of the store. Unbeknownst to us, the line’s end was actually much farther back then it seemed. So we technically “cut” probably 20 people in line. (accidentally i promise) Regardless, as I was waiting in line I was SOOO mad and irritated. I spoke aloud, to no one in particular, “AAAAAAAhhh I’m so sick of this line and why are there like 8 people cutting us in line?!”

A man behind me , drunk, reaking of alcohol and holding onto a shelf to steady himself, loudly retorts " YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CUT IN THE LINE BI**ch!" Of course I respond “Hey STFU and get out of my face, i was in line before you and i wasn’t even talking to you” He then gets in my face, like 2 inches from my nose and starts yelling that "bit*ches shouldn’t cut in line you are F***ing cut us " So I got back in his face and then BRP gets in the middle and pushes me forward and away from the guy. He continues to yell profanely and then two women approach and say " can we go in front of you? I cant believe he’s talking to you like that’ I said " i know" and the man then starts attacking and getting in the face of these two other women, The employees just stood there, of course and let the guy belligerently verbally attack pretty much anyone within his close vicinity.
When we got to the counter, we bought our items and then BRP asked the guy if he was a season ticket holder. The guy said “why YOURE NOT ONE!” and BRP and I looked at eachother like “what”… Brp then said to the cashier, “hey give this guy my season ticket holder discount” and then we left

The drunk didn’t even say thank you.

and then the guy started yelling at us, “Teenagers these days…”

HAHAHAH, that made me laugh out loud…i was thinking, is this guy from the JD?

When i was purchasing my item, he goes “Don’t stand there like you don’t know what you did, you don’t know what happened.”

and I said, “me no speak english”

and he said “what?”

hahahaha and Sophia and the cash register busted out laughing.

the sad part was that we just ignored him because he had a kid with him, and he KEPT pushing us and yelling. it was disastrous.

I honestly don’t think we cut because people lined up behind us, not them…it was just odd.

oh well. you can leave drama but drama won’t leave you.

 Sophia says you guys technically took cuts… BRP says he doesn’t think so. Either way the story would have been better with wonder twin powers or Hong Kong phooey chops.

Damn, I miss the coolest ish.

Were you walking around the concourse with twiggs? I almost thought I saw you two darting around concourse during early halftime.

But I also thought I saw BRP or philthy sitting in the row in front of me in 116. PS Pink hats and sideburns aren’t a good look for asians.

Yeah, it’s tough meeting up with weekday games. And I keep getting preoccuped during halftimes and didn’t make it over to Schonz’ when people were meeting there until like 3mins left anyway. I’ll be down there tomorrow but am going down to PHX for a conference during the Detroit game. But next time there’s a meet-up, I’ll make it.

Yeah, I am no fashion maven, but the pink hat and silver throwback? was a horrible look for anyone.

If it was twiggs and Sophia I saw, those heels really did look painful. Tall and narrow. Why do women do this to themselves?

Twiggs wasn't wearing heels, i think she was rocking some black boots

i’m pretty sure you will know it’s Sophia if you saw her…she’s the cranky one wearing the girl power halter top

her high heels were fine, it was that she walked 5 miles to meet up with us

by broyposse on Nov 7, 2009 1:55 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, the person I thought was twiggs was definitely not sporting high heels. I was pretty faded at this point and already thinking about the third quarter, so I didn’t see the two of them closely. Just had this feeling as they passed me in the crowd that it was them. They were on the clear opposite side of the FanShop too so if it was them; she had just went 2.5 miles.

It’s much funnier to think I see BEdgers that I’ve not seen pics of. Like I am pretty sure that Roybot was lying about going to the game last night, and she was one of the girls sitting back from the Blazers bench with the sign that says “I want a ticket for the LTrain.”

the other funny thing

Is to be entirely “racially” ignorant and think any asian I see is one of you two and every tall skinny ginger-ishy dude is dougall (this happened more at the Spearhead concert last month than at any Blazer game).

I was actually amazed at how many tall gingers were at that concert. One even had dreads.

Well, he's right to call out LaMarcus Aldridge for being a soft forward.

Chris Bosh isn’t being dealt anywhere at this point, though, since the Toronto Raptors will take its chances and hope he re-signs next summer. Yet, my bet is Bosh will sign with the Chicago Bulls or the Miami Heat come 2010.

J.E Skeets has no idea what he is talking about.

Best pairing that compliments each other.

Taz says Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest. Kobe can do everything and Ron brings his energy up with hustle and defense.

Skeets says Durantula and Jeff Green. Kevin as a young Kobe Bryant with offensive fire power and Jeff Green as a defensive player.

i know, i know, his stats show that he’s improving and will be good but i just don’t see it.

i remember watching T-Mac back in the day, and he looked way better than Durant…“look” is the key word…in my eyes, he looked like a more complete baller. not sure of his stats but he was awesome…a lot more impressive then when i watch KD now
