Gameday Open Thread: Blazers vs. Knicks--Pre-Game Edition
Nothing like a game to reinvigorate the basketball soul. Knicks-Blazers tonight...always a hard get in the Big Apple for the Blazers even when they're fully-stocked. What will Portland need to do in order to pull it out tonight? Discuss strategy, hopes, and whatever else you'd like, game-related of course, here.

I'll also say..
Blazers storm out and Juwon Howard goes for 22-12-1. Crowd stunned. Roy begins hating Juwon Howard. Then he never plays another game. Roy smiles. Somewhere, Oden is crying.

I'd like to know...
…when “Roy is selfish,” went from an ironic meme to an accusation and then an expectation…
yea ... it's always fun and games
until they lose an eye or someone’s knee explodes
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
I am Excited for tonight
This is our team now. We are gonna have to live and die by each game like we always have
ALLLL Rudy Then!!!!!

if you should strike Oden down he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Go Trail Blazers!!
don’t forget that shout-out to the team from B4M!
Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff.
Vegas doesn't like us anymore. Only favored by 3 to 3.5 points. Accuscore even has the game 50-50.
I hear NBF is at the game and will cause a big turmoil if we don’t win! So put in some effort dear Blazers!
wooot, woot!
Send a message to the league Blazers! You will not go quietly into the night!
Let's do it for the big man!
whoooo-wooot!!!

I'm actually waiting for the first "Dean's better, late Nate go!" post if things go well
In reality, Dean is Nate’s longtime assistant and is just following Nate’s gameplan for this trip.
Don't tell the "fire nate" bunch that :p
"Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."
He said in his interview that he was going to coach the game to Nates strategy
and possibly make adjustments throughout the trip if needed. Should be interesting, even if we are missing half our squad…
RUDY > MJ

I think the biggest difference might be more freedom on a possession-by-possession basis
I don’t know if Dean sits on the sideline and calls every play as much as Nate.
As far as adjustments, I suspect any adjustment (outside game-time ones) will be made with Nate on the phone.
yeah, what I was most interested in was how he would handle Oden's minutes, so now I'm just hoping we see energy from Roy and LMA.

I am still curious to see how Rudy's and Blakes are handled....
Too bad he is hurt and we likely wont find that out either
RUDY > MJ

I'm in for the pain killers.

I hope the blazers just run with them.
The blazers will be playing small so they should run with new york. I’m hoping bayless gets some major minutes to show what he can do when running. Have a feelling someone will have a huge game.(30+)

how can the Griz just let him walk to another team like that? I am obviously missing something here.

I don't think we have ANYBODY there now.
I suppose we could pull in our euro prospects, but that might be $uper $pendy.

Could we even bring anyone up
with being at 15 already? Maybe we could move Outlaw and Mills down?
I thought about that
