Steve Blake 8 minute, Andre Miller 16 minutes.
"Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."
I give Nate credit for that adjustment.
Unfortunately the handling of the centers is still putrid.
I say LET'S GO BLAZERS
Who is with me?
OMG I just jizzed in my France
Go BLAZERS!

I’d rather watch the Blazers play their worst game ever than Dr Phil. We can only hope they don’t do that to us again.
Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.
So what's the analysis from our angle? I missed a majority of the first half.
Looks like Roy and Miller are doing well together. Oden and LMA are out. Howard is in and scoring. Dante looks to be blanking when guarding Beasley. Martell got called for blocking when he was planted and out of the restricted area.
Why are we down 10? instead of ahead or down by more?
Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.
our team cannot play without a center
nobody to bail the team out on penetration and no offensive rebounding.
We played without a center for 4 minutes during which they opened a lead.
I don't get why it's hard to play them 48 minuts combined
being able to always have one of them on the court should be one of our biggest advantages. Nate has so many rigid rotation moves I can’t understand why that isn’t one of them.
Your confusing thesis has captured my attention. Tell me more.

Layups...
Is it just me or are we missing quite a few of these lately? I am only able to listen on the radio, but when Wheeler states that one of the players goes for a layup, we are missing more than we are making these it seems.
and the first half
...and that's a good thing

2nd half defense needs to step up.
Or else it’s going to be blow out. I don’t expect another Howard scoring explosion.

There's nothing wrong with the Jeff Van Gundy offense, so long as it runs through the center and the ...
players work their tail off on defense. Sadly, though, Nate McMillan is an inept defensive coach who doesn’t involve post play — as well as effective pick-and-roll sets — enough on offense.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

Pat Mills looks like Ric Fox. He just needs to gro thos curls.
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 never came upcourt and Miami broadcasting ignored him. He seemed fine on the pick and roll though.

everything else is secondary.

Batum would normally slow DWade or opposing best wing. With other having to concentrate on said wing makes efficient offense for other team.

As much as I think the inherit problems are schematic.
I think the Blazers forced to play the 3rd string SF, a rookie PF, a geezer PF, and Steve Blake isn’t conducive to winning basketball. The talent isn’t there to keep teams from scoring or score enough points.
Roy had to play herculean basketball for the team to have a chance tonight.

Last year..
Brandon Roy would have had 45 points in a game like this instead he will up with 20. His lack of caring this season is pissing me off. He has been acting like a selfish little girl and I blame him for the blazers problems because he can’t get over his own ego and sacrifice for the benefit of the team. We shouldnt have given him that max contract
"Good, Better, Best, never let it rest until your good is your better and your better is your best." Tim Duncan
I think he is struggling with how to share the ball, and get himself in a rhythm at the same time.
He really hasn’t had to do that. Last year they would always try to get Lma started early in the game, if he didn’t look good, roy would basically run the offense for the rest of the game. Anyone else making a play was usually a result of Roy being disrupted, or throwing a last second pass to a jump shooter out on the wing. Now Greg is showing that he can be a consistent offensive force, and Miller is not out on the court ONLY looking for Roy. I just think it’s the first time in awhile that Roy feels threatened by the skills of his own teammates, and he hasn’t learned how to be good by doing completely different things than he has been allowed to do his whole career.

It’ll work sometimes, it depends highly on how the Blazers shoot the 3 ball and whether or not one of the Blazer PGs wake up on the right side of the bed.
With regards to defense. All about rebounding. The Blazers allow a high FG % in relation to their record and don’t force many turnovers. Blazers play a style of defense that puts a high emphasis on the other team to play one on one offense. They switch on pick and rolls like its rec league. Allow mismatches to occur and hope the opposition player goes into isolation mode thus hurting team ball. Notice how rarely the Blazers double and rotate. With Oden and Przybilla in the middle, perimeter defenders also usher dribblers into the paint for a block, tough shot, or foul. The ushering part being mostly unintentional.
This brings me to the larger theme of strategy vs execution. The Blazers execute well within their broader strategy. Here’s the dilemma for me. I don’t think the Blazers’ strategy to win right now is a winning strategy in the playoffs. Relying on ball reversals, isolations, and second chance points aren’t going to cut it. At some time the team needs, or should I say must, learn to score in transition and create opportunities near the basket. The current framework is fragile patchwork of spot up shooters. The base is wobbly and crooked. The notion of pursuing the current strategy further is the same as pushing on a string.

I have my doubts Oden would play that much if Joel could have

do not be fooled by Roy's line. He has hit a couple garbage time threes, but this was another very poor effort from him.
That, along with terrible coaching by Nate at the end of the 1st half, is the story of the game.
D not great either.

Roy's problem - slooooooooooooooow
he’s athletic physically, but somehow he’s slow mentally to process the game. Too sloooow. He is slow to read the defense when he needs to make a quick decision. When he runs pick and roll, he’s slow to come off the pick. In open court, he’s never willing to push tempo because somehow he just needs more time to read the defense and make decisions.
He is also exhibiting a nasty resistence to rescuing ball-handler when they are in trouble.
He doesnt run to help and its resulting in TO’s
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
remember when
the rest of the NBA couldn’t adjust to Brandon’s “herky-jerky pace”?
Guess what, they finally adjusted to him…can Roy make the next adjustment and become a distributer of the basketball?
stay tuned, because the future of your favorite team hangs in the balance

yeah. And he was hacked by heat players and no calls.

The more Greg grows the better. If this team has to see a 41-41 year for Greg to flourish, so be it.
My team went to the playoffs in my first year.
if 41-41 turns Greg into a top 5 monster for the rest of carreer, I take that.
Nothing Witty Here, move along.
Webster is just ineffecient,
Rudy is incredibly streaky, and Joel is a shadow of last year’s Joel. Take away Travis’ offense, Batum’s D, and there you have it
We have what? the most deep team, the most talented?

Why everything is ok:
One simple reason.
For anything to get fixed, people need to clearly see things are broken first.
tough taking these losses
Does the team stand fast and just play through this while waiting for Batum and Outlaw to heal or are changes going to be made?
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
yeah
but it’s kind of hard to analyze what the problem is when so many key players are out, i guess analyists/stat bos and co just look at the bigger picture, trends etc

Having LMA out tonight definitely hurts when combined with the long-term injuries
Still, they can use this game for analysis. They can normally win without LMA against a team of Miami’s stature (that’s not a shot at Miami… the team normally holds their own with LMA out in general)
yeah I think Roy had said that
even though they were winning games early, he still felt like something was wrong.

The only thing I caught....
Was that he questioned Nate taking out Oden in the first half with 2 fouls, and he did it more than once. Apparently he is on the bandwagon of people that want Oden to actually foul out of a game for once….

They've made up all these stats to quantify bad NBA play
The Voskuhl ratio is a measure of positives vs negatives on the court. Basically it’s fouls+TOs:points+rebounds+assists.
