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…

Hope to see some extended Bayless minutes tonight.

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!

by Norsktroll on Dec 7, 2009 3:56 PM PST reply actions  

Go Balzers!

I should not sarcastically mock someone I don’t completely agree with.

Send a message to the league Blazers! You will not go quietly into the night!

Let's do it for the big man!

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."

by jebuz on Dec 7, 2009 4:18 PM PST up reply actions  

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.

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+)

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.
