That being said, I do expect them to show it in the full Sportscenter later
Just not focus on it during gamebreaks or halftime.
SportsCenter did indeed cover the incident
It’s clearly news, so it had to be covered. But they didn’t want to make it the focus during all the gameday recaps.
That explains it
Land Rondo.

Laker fans had a tantrum and threw foam fingers and water bottles on the court
Presumably because they weren’t getting all the calls.
Yeah, the Laker fans on Yahoo were complaining about the refs
and nothing but the refs

just wondering....
what exactly is blake doing for us?
dude just catches the ball 28’ from the hoop, looks around for 5+ seconds and then passes it off to roy/jbay.
Well, Blake is losing minutes right now anyway
But beyond that, it looks like he’s been told that his job in the offense is to get the other guards going, and shoot less himself. Just guessing though.
well he hit a three
and made a dumb turnover and played bad D
bayless leaves over my dead body
Start Bayless (in a 2 guard lineup)
if you should strike Oden down he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Can someone give a rational explanation of why blake plays 36 minutes a game?

bayless
needs to keep bowling into the lane. He can’t worry about getting blocked again (and I know that’s impossible). But he’s got to get in there and do what Roy’s doing: put the body into the shotblocker to protect the ball and draw a foul.
love it
especially against a team like the Nuggets. They are big and scary and fast, but Bird and Nene aren’t good rebounders, and K-Mart can be had on defense. So you have to get down there and mix it up—you can’t be scared by all the muscles.

the Blazers need to be attacking him every single possession. put the pressure on the refs so they HAVE to call the 5th foul…..

that if he’s gonna keep going in the lane like that he needs to put his body in to those guys to get the foul rather than be fading away a little bit trying to make an incredibly tough shot.

Bayless is full
Hungry Jerryd doesn’t get blocked, but something tells me that he had two platefuls of national publicity and a heaping helpful of pats on the back in the last few days… The Blazers 20 years old, buzzworthy… first-start-superstar isn’t playing like his minutes depend on him getting to the rim right now.
he's going to the rim everytime
that’s part of the problem as much as anything. he needs to be a bit less predictable with his moves

1-8 fg is an off night shooting but does not speak for the 15+ baskets that he’s created from being doubled and from his penetration.

Chris Paul would be the closest I'd have to consideration.
Because we have Rudy and Bayless at SG.
Wade might actually be #2 since he’d slide right into Roy’s position.
But in both cases, there would be some shock from losing the heart of the team.
CP is the heart and soul guy who might end up being the best point guard ever, so I take him. Wade is too dependent on athleticism, Kobe is a poseur, LeBron would leave…. yeah, I take CP.

Bayless with the "off" night
had 7 assists and 1 turnover….. for a guy who “can’t pass” and “makes poor decisions with the basketball”
14-1 asst/to ratio the last two games
He made a few poor choices
On taking Andersen head on.
But his dunk was key. His dunk opened up those two Roy 3s.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
the blocks will happen
after all… he does attack the rim a LOT
I am more concerned with him settling for 20 foot jump shots too much (6-7 of his misses were Js). I attended every game he played in college live and a lot of his high school games and that is when he’s off his game… when he settles and isn’t hungry for contact at the rim.
That was the best we've played all year
We just beat a good team that was playing awfully well.

I'd like to take this second to give thanks for Kevin Pritchard
Who built a team so deep that their talent is overcoming some devastating injuries.
And for scouting the draft so well, we get folks like Pendergraph in the second round, already contributing within days of getting off the injured list.
Pendergraph was a robot in summer league. I am incredibly impressed with his improved fluidity.
He also held onto Bayless when public opinion was pretty low.

He wasn't going to give up Bayless. No way, no how.
He only gave up Sergio when he realized the situation was untenable. Even if the team was intact and Bayless was grumbling on the bench, he’d still be here.
When did public opinion turn on Bayless btw? He’s been beloved since day 1.
I would disagree with you there. There was a huge portion of the site who wanted to trade Bayless. Team Bayless was very small after summer league.

Denver was clearly told to double Bayless to prevent penetration.
I’m absolutely thrilled that we figured out how to break that during this game, instead of afterward.
that’s the beauty of it. We put Bayless in the Roy-role, forcing the traps that teams attack our pick and roll with. Then Bayless jumps really high and passes to the big man who distributes to Roy, who has the weakened defense to attack.
Now we need to get all our guys play together. That means Oden.

He had a double- double and shot well
just didn’t get the ball enough tonight but his energyn levels was good.
can't leave aldridge out
with greg and joel down he needed to focus on defensive reboudning and he did. i think his defensive boards in the 2nd half were a key turning point in the game.
When they closed down one option
Another opened up for this team tonight. We need to do that, every day.

Martell was absolutely HUGE in the third quarter. He opened up the entire flow of the game and things just started rolling for Portland when Denver had to start guarding everyone instead of just Roy.

Agreed, Martell was unsung hero
He scored 8 points in 90 seconds and drew two fouls on Carmelo, and totally got under Carmello’s skin. Total momentum shift. He brought the fire.

This is Howard's 2nd start so its hard
to say if he can continue this form for much longer. He’s like 40 and he can’t have that many good games left. We still help at the 5 spot.
They managed his minutes well
And we have a pretty light schedule in terms of days off between games, so that should help.

Also, Roy has received some flak for his defense this season, but he was solely guarding (with occasional double teams) Carmelo the entire fourth quarter and made Melo work for every shot and altered quite a few looks.

I had a lovely day with the family, and then to go and watch this great game was the best way to cap the day.
This team has heart and soul.
OMG I just jizzed in my France
A lot of folks were saying that this team could have gone 0 fo 6 and be under
500 when the new year came. After Pryz went down I’d have been happy to get through it with a couple of wins. 5 and 1 is unbelievable.
It was all a clever plan
They were just lowering their expectations in order to love the team that much more when the Blazers won and “Overachieved.”

thank you!
McMillan needs to start getting way more love from the BEdge faithful. If folks want to assail his in-game tactics and subbing patterns, it’s clear that this team comes in to every game with a PLAN and they set about executing it. Only a few teams really do that (my short list, Boston, LA, Houston). How many coaches could have possible done better? Even Phil Jackson and Larry Brown would have quit on this team yet it’s a question no one even thinks to ask the Blazers because it’s inconceivable that the team would quit.
M, period. Fresh, comma.
The Nuggets have the most arrogant punks in the NBA
but they got carved up like some jive turkeys tonight.
OMG I just jizzed in my France
The meaning of team...
is showing with these guys. The way they move on offense with little or no hesitation is refreshing. Without all the studs trying to prove themselves with limited minutes, we have 8/9 cohesive guys without any preconceived idea of how this team ‘should’ fit together. These guys are creating on the run, and the flow is really enjoyable to watch. This group of energetic Blazers are playing heart and with a sense that every moment counts. These guys are growing up as a team. That is about as much as we can ask for as Blazer fans during this holiday season.
Longest current winning streak in the NBA
Something else to celebrate.
