PrintAnd away we go! Remember Lawler's Rule: first to win the tip wins the game. Or wait...that wasn't it. In any case, see if it bears out tonight. Discuss the game right here. Keep it clean, respectful, and free of illegal feeds or requests for them.

Nothing big. Probably back by saturday. MRI showed just the bruise.
honestly, I think there's a chance he will give us as much as LMA has so far this year
He can hit the mid-range J and he actually tries to play defense.

I'm just happy Nate finally took a T.
I’m very unhappy he did so right when Greg leaves the game for probably 20 game minutes, so he can’t get any immediate benefit from it.
I hope he brings Greg back in the 2nd quarter sometime.

chemistry. I’ve tried to do it before, but some people just don’t get it. For now, though, I’ll repost one of my earlier comments regarding this very topic.
“Right, off-court chemistry means nothing. For example, Travis Outlaw — who’s known for being all palsy-walsy and crap with both Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge — is a complete joke out on the court no matter his camaraderie.
Regarding Roy and Andre Miller, it’s got nothing to do with them being friends; rather, it’s about them having a sturdy working relationship. Co-workers can successfully accomplish a task together without forging a friendship and being fairly apathetic on a personal level, but them having contempt for each other can cause turmoil.
The thing y’all must take into account, however, is that Roy and Miller have tension between them due to their on-court fit — or lack thereof, as is the case here — being the crux of all their problems. If they can solve their difficultly meshing on the hardwood, then everything else will fall into place. They don’t need group therapy with some half-witted sports psychologist, since what would help them the most is to have a coach who can maximize their indvidual skill sets in tandem as a functioning backcourt."

Oden gets called for fouls
He’s not respected enough to get fouls yet. Though some games the fouls are so obvious, they’ll start calling them.
any other C woulda gotten a foul
and 1. two guys just sat on his back
yeah
Oden is entering the “Shaq zone,” where he is so big and powerful no one can see or call when he gets fouled. We need him to get in the other “Shaq zone” where they don’t cal any fouls on HIM.
Roy hustles, and Greg finishes

Although DeJuan Blair is a beast on the glass, he still wouldn't've been the best fit here.
Regardless, a guy like Nick Collison should’ve been acquired — even if it cost Travis Outlaw and Jerryd Bayless, who are disgustingly overrated by some folks — so as to provide roster balance.

then they should’ve been looking at Blair…the best part about DeJuan…he was “free” for the picking

I'm all for DeJuan Blair having been picked over Victor Claver, Jeff Pendergraph, ...

You sure you're not a Blazer fan?
Jamal Tinsley demolished us last week
The Blazerverse and The Wire: A comparison
Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMillan = 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)
Thanks for that by the way
and you too Norsk. And you too AK.

like I said, when the full moon is out
Juwan LIVES!
When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
Man Im kind- off glad we did not trade Priz, cuz Oden can only play 25 mins.
And when we dont have a center on the floor we tataly suck.
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's very on and off
Did he ever have any skills besides the 3 ball. Can he dunk? I’ve never seen him dunk
He used to be good here at getting the team well spaced on offense and defense.
Also a great FT shooter, important in close games and for T’s.
All's we needed from him was to shoot the 3....our win percentage with him was much better than when he was injured.
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
I only watched him the one season as a blazer
but he seemed like a glue guy to me. Smart player, knock down shooter. Our record with him and without him that year was like night and day….

its a good strategy
keep all the good players out so they have to fight to dig our team out of a massive whole at the end of every game.
...and that's a good thing

no no no. you've got it all wrong.
it’s better to have that extra foul for the 4th quarter.

So tired of hearing this.
The only defense of Blake that people can come up with, even though it means absolutely nothing.
Blake is pro
trust me i know. I’m his #1 fan

I guess you can be a pro if you suck and still start.
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.
how about losing another one we should win? Play Roy, Miller/Blake, Webster, Rudy, Oden/Pryz the entire game = we win guaranteed
your formula
= tired by the 3rd, collapse, loss, bad performance in the next game
Four guards in constantly even though three is already a problem

Pretty terrible effort considering we're at home, and rested, and coming off two embarrasing losses.

i am a huge NBA fan
but this is getting worse and worse every time I watch a game this year, I have been watching the blazers since I was in the second grade and my family moved to portland (im 28 now) and this season has been sickening to watch almost entirely due to reffing. sigh. i am done for tonight, enjoy the rest the game all, maybe i’ll try watchin another one in a week or two…
Sigh...
The GSW game was where I really started to lose faith in Nate
I’m one step closer to calling for his job after that first half.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
I am already there.
It is simple: Start Miller, give Oden 20 touches in 30 minutes per game, and do NOT extend Nate's contract. Problem solved.
by RenoBlazerFan on Dec 1, 2009 8:16 PM PST up reply actions
With Nate McMillan, it doesn't usually work out that way.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
he needs to play regardless
he fouls out a couple times, i dont care, if that teaches his to watch his defense, fine
there's no trust
nate might think he’s protecting his player from foul trouble now, but he’s essentially doing to oden what real foul trouble do anyway.
2 fouls in the second quarter when he’s playing VERY well is a time to LEAVE HIM IN.
the game will end with Oden having played 24 minutes and committed 4 or 5 fouls.
In short, Nate McMillan has, yet again, handled his minutes ineptly.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
I am going to go a step farther...
And say that Nate’s obvious fear of Greg committing fouls is only fueling the refs perception that he is a foul machine. If his own coach doesn’t trust him not to commit a foul in 3 minutes of play, why should the refs give Oden the benefit of the doubt???

It's cutting a hesitation groove in Greg's gameplay, making him second guess himself. And if you're thinking awkward, you're acting awkward.

That's a very good point.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
exactly… he plays so cautious with him when he gets fouls… how about telling him to be careful or just biting the bullet and use him regardless
I agree with you here

I'm happy he is showing his frustration with foul calls tonight
Monty had to go collect him at the mid-court line or he would have been ejected

We can only hope Nate gets ejected.
Maybe one of his assistants has a clue about who to play.

In the second half, yes.
We’re talking about the first half, though.

he's only going to learn how to not foul if he is ON the floor
lets him get 4 fouls in the first half before yanking him. Its stupid. We shouldn’t have to fight back into every game cuz all our defense is on the bench.
...and that's a good thing
by In Walks Rudy on Dec 1, 2009 8:22 PM PST up reply actions
also at some point the rest of the team needs to realize that by protecting Greg with better perimeter defense
they are helping him stay on the floor, therefore helping our team win. If they won’t play defense for themselves, maybe they’ll do it for Greg…

as long as we have another coach to go with him...
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
Why
Nate would just try to turn him into Steve Blake, like he does with every other young point guard. At least Miller is savvy enough to do his thing out there….
RUDY > MJ
and that is coming from a Sergio lover.
I am glad he is out from under Nate’s control. Nate killed the promising young pg rookie that Sergio was, and now he is re-emerging, I am happy he is getting a decent shot to play his game…
RUDY > MJ
Blazers have ten players to use...
lets use the worst of them and see how that works out.
...and that's a good thing
If Oden stays out of foul trouble we will be fine
Thats a big if
What's foul trouble?
Four with 6 minutes left to play?
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
Blazers missing 4 rotation players and 1 player basically out of the game due to "foul trouble"
I don’t expect a win. Hopefully the guys will compete and play hard.

Wrong.
Both teams played hard. One just played smarter, or had a smarter coach.

Another team shooting lights out against us
coincidence? I think not. Portland is not playing hard on defense. This is just lazy and uninspired. No excuse. These guys need to go out there in the second half and start making life difficult for the Heat
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
The starters seem to allways dig a big hole that we cant get out of. Last season we were the best coming from behind and winning.

Unfortunately, he is currently employed.

My thought exactly
There’s gotta be some way to lure him back here. Contract be damned!
even more egregious than the oden benching
was the joel benching.
what exactly is nate saving him for?
playing those minutes with Dante and Howard both in... wow.
Amazingly bad coaching.

these decisions are so rudimentary
any idiot can recognize how to handle the minutes and rotations with our big men; especially on a night when aldridge an outlaw are out.
amazingly, one of the highest paid coaches in the nba can’t.
Yeah.. why would he play Dante and Howard at the same time?
Makes no sense.. Even if Howard is having a great game, Dante is a rookie..
There's no doubt about it.
Greg Oden should’ve stayed out there in the second quarter until he picked up his 3rd foul. Even then, Joel Przybilla — who already had 3 fouls — should’ve come back in before Juwan Howard ever played the pivot.

I too, am in favor of this position called “center”, and this other position called “small forward”.

Yes, the only way that there shouldn't be a true center out there at all times is if they both have 6 fouls.
