The further I get into the game, the funnier that will be.
And it’s already pretty funny.
πεντήκοντα δύο
I've got the Bucks guys.
They just said that the Blazer’s game plan isn’t complicated (true), but is hard to stop (eh?). And that Aldridge is a brilliant post player. Though against the Bucks last year, he did really good down there.

Are you watching it on LP BB or on a cable/satellite system?
I was lucky enough to get a home/away choice.
They're ridin' Przy's jock,
but call it a bit like radio which is nice. It’s good to have a break from Mike and Mike.
Why is stupid LPBB not yet broadcasting! Get the game on!
Miller - Roy - Webster - Aldridge - Przybilla. Is that so hard?

right now our offense consists of him dribbling for 16 seconds. Even if it isn’t fair, it’s painful to watch.
get well soon, big guy.
#52
It's been happening for seasons
It’s hard not to assume it’s a system thing at this point. Everyone blamed Sergio for it a year ago.
the big problem right now is that we are trying to feed it into LMA, but after they front him we have no way to make them pay. Thus Blake dribbles until something else happens.
get well soon, big guy.
#52
This used to primarily be a bench problem, but it's now happening with the starters
Since we’re missing so many players.
The real question was was it luck, or did Brandon actually play defense at some stage in his career?
"Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."
Brandon told the media he was going to "give them something special" that night
He’d been challenged about his lazy defense prior to that game.
Rex was playing Peek-a-boo behind him.

Night and day difference between what Blake did there
and what Bayless did last night in the same situation….

Or what GSW did an hour ago on another channel.
I mean, come on, try a screen or two, maybe pass to a big guy who dumps it immediately to the smaller guy headed to the hoop. Maybe take a 20 and move it to half court (still allowed right?).
Ridnour making Blake look like....Blake
"With the first pick of the 2007 NBA draft, the Portland Trail Blazers select: Greg Oden from Ohio State University"
Bogut set a good pick on that last one.

I would criticize Portland's offense philosophy
if I thought they had one. The Bucks look smooth and the Blazers look ragged as if they’re playing with each other for the first time.
it is insane. It looks like we have no offensive game plan… watching the Chicago game and then watching this game, you wouldn’t recognize it.
get well soon, big guy.

Oden was a steadying force in the middle.
Przy provides great defense, but is sort of dead weight on offense.
How is Brandon Roy not pissed at Steve Blake. Blake doesn't even get the ball to Roy when the Blazers
need a bail out shot against the shot clock. Pathetic. Stop trying to the hero.
Ban the 3 guard line-up!

Sometimes it's fun to have a weird opinion. :)
The comparison isn’t perfect, but he’s a somewhat undersized score-first point guard who likes the ball in his hands. Sure Damon couldn’t really dunk, but there are always differences in comparisons.
I think the critical difference there is that Bayless is way bigger than Damon and attacks the rim instead of shooting jumpres.
get well soon, big guy.
#52
also, Bayless is undersized for a shooting guard, Damon is undersized for a point guard. Damon got burned on D because opposing guards could shoot over him so, so easily.
I have hope for Bayless… I sure hope he isn’t Damon.
get well soon, big guy.
#52
Yeah I knew the Damon comparison would freak a few people out.
I’m hopeful Bayless will show us what he’s capable of this season.

what's pissing me off
aside from the announcers, who will always piss me off.
Coach: Still plays 3 guard line-up. in fact, now they have the audacity to go 3 PG line up. Blake Miller Bayless. Are they just trying to get Bayless to look worse? Shouldn’t Blake be subbed out instead of webster/roy-especially when he’s playing so awful?
Aldridge: Still fading play after play. Still lacks killer instinct. You get good post position and instead of backing in, you back out of the key. What? Way to take the power out of PF. And for gods sake quit being all smiles out there and take care of business. don’t chuckle that you missed a dunk when you’re down 9. if you’re up 10 its a different story, but your not so dont.
Roy: Quit being so lazy out there. We know you like to emulate the best and are probably looking to SAS and others coasting in the regular season-you should realize you don’t have that luxury. Stop playing lazy off those P&R plays. No more waving off picks or making super slow or too early moves that mess up the whole play. you’re making the offense MORE clunky, that’s not what a max contract player does.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, please stop using the following: "Book it.", "FTW", "Epic" & "Fail".

remember when kobe was accused of being a ball hog?
So he went out and purposefully refused to shoot, instead tried to get as many assists as he could to “prove” how unselfish he thought he was. Same thing.

First half thoughts
- Roy isn’t right. Not getting to the rim at all.
- Martell hitting 3s is great. He should never ever shoot a two pointer unless it is completely wide open. Off screens and off the dribble he is terrible.
- Blake hit a couple shots. That’s nice. The idea that he’s getting the most run of the 3 PGs is still absurd, but at least its less than it has been.
- Great job on the glass. Just 1 O-reb by Milwaukee.
- Howard should never be on Bogut ever.

The most insane moment of the year so far:
3 guard lineup featuring Blake – Miller – Bayless…Not one over 6’3"
Dean must never become our head coach. He’s just creating more insane ways to get Blake minutes.
52 + 88 = 140% better team.
here we go again
First of all it was Roy who led the charge to get the PTB back in the game and ahead. I guess the rest of your points don’t honk me off

Roy played well. He hit some tough shots. I am just saying he doesn't look right. He is not able to get to the rim at all.
The fact that he was still fairly effective is impressive, but its not the Roy who was 2nd team all NBA.

Roy may be hurting more then we know
an injury we aren’t aware of may explain his inability to perform at the level we expect. So he deserves credit for sucking it up and giving it his all anyways.

yea but he might be

totally agree
it’s tiresome to see his inability to use the screen well this season. In fact he wasn’t really good in this last season either but he’s worse this year. He just almost never turns the corner or drive past the opposing big guy.
I mean, I am not asking to beat opposing SG all day long, but at least show some ability to beat a 7-footer or two occasionally. Is that really too much to ask?
Instead he constantly leaves him getting trapped or doubled from P&R play.
To me that’s one of the biggest PTB mysteries this season.
is the jazz arena really the loudest arena?

it is. you dont know.
it was discussed last year on nba on tnt i remember quite well
Used to be the Kings arena. The times they are a-changing.
Miller - Roy - Webster - Aldridge - Przybilla. Is that so hard?
Who's up for Bayless or Miller starting the second half?

I did not hear Rice say "He can do that" even one time that half
I think he is getting self-conscious about it. He said “he can…. (pause)” then finished the sentence awkwardly without just saying “do that.” The thing is Rice, when we all see the guy “do that” we know “he can do that.”
