it used to be our PGs who cant handle quick midgets
lets see if miller makes a difference.
and start miller dammit
I get the MSG commercials and announcers. Nice change.
I also expect a full recap from NBF in epic proportions
wait is it not blacked out? or are you illegaly bypassing it?
FLAGGED…. yea im lame like that
Had you forgotten....
…that you can find it at Freddy’s

Everyone takes Freddy's for granted
I really miss that place, I could use a place like that regularly.
Yup--only thing close around here is a Walmart with groceries.

Merry Christmas ...from Payless
Merrrrrry Christmas
" Welcome to the Bedge....where good, is never good enough"…Rudiculous
I just remember the jingle
Payless was a big deal growing up in Grants Pass
" Welcome to the Bedge....where good, is never good enough"…Rudiculous
I remember the one in Roseburg
being ancient….and on 2 floors with an escalator
" Welcome to the Bedge....where good, is never good enough"…Rudiculous
Doesnt it stink in the garden?

Oden's not holdin him back anymore!

Yep. And I really do think Brandon will have a return to form over the next month
I think it would have happened with or without Greg, but the loss of Greg will probably expedite it for a number of reasons.
We only have one player (Miller) coming off the bench tonight that we thought would even be in our rotation.
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
Bayless! Bayless! Bayless!
I can’t believe I want to see Bayless in there!

makes sense
why make use of your size when you have it?
Lol, Knicks announcers talking about how Miller used to kill them
“But obviously on a team with a very different style”
it feels like garbage time
(bumbly rhythm-less play, quiet crowd)
but it’s only the beginning. sigh.
they put someone on camera that looks like what I imagine NBF looks like.
get well soon, big guy.

Man
this is the most desultory effort I’ve seen from the Blazers since…
(thinks about it)
…maybe last week sometime.
Can we please start giving a crap?

I wish that Bayless could have all of Blake's minutes
I’m so sad watching the Blazers now, I want the feeling of seeing our young guys develop again as long as we’re not going to be championship contenders.

Have we had way, way more problems with the shot clock this year compared to last year?
I can’t believe how many we’re hucking up against the clock. We’re just not getting good looks from our halfcourt offense with any kind of regularity.

So, here's why I'm not worried about this game yet
The Blazers are on the first game of the trip after a long weekend. They don’t look like they don’t care, they just look a bit deflated. Plus they’re missing shots, including some easy ones.
Sooner or later, more shots should start falling. And we’ll see some fresh energy from Bayless and Cunningham. This is a gmae they should win.
I'd feel more confident
if “games we should win” had been games that we’d been winning. I’m a Mopey Molly in this thread tonight, apologies.

Honestly
the only blazer that has impressed me this year just got injured
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
That's my first thought too
On the other hand, they were a step slow for the last week or two.
They definitely look deflated tonight.
Freeman or Meagher want to be part of Team Dante :)
Man, with those rec specs, gun show, mad rebounding prowess and near shaved head, Cunningham has a Bo Outlaw likeness going on …

this low scoring game favors us
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
we really could use rudy right now

so, the "win it for Greg" fire did apparently not make the trip out East.
at least Joel is battling on the glass.
Nice pick and roll D there, Blazers.

I mentioned this above, but it's worth repeating
This might be a combination of the previous lethargy, combined with the post-Oden hangover. They look really down.
New York doesn't look that sympathetic

This could turn out to be a very ugly season.

Maybe when Nate keeps saying scrappy, they here it as “We need more (cr)appiness!”

I suppose with the circumstances with the team I can live with that. Make that 10 now.
make that 11 now
"Rudy is not everyday a shooter," Fernandez said. "He's defense. He's passes. He's assists."
LA's one on one game is just nonexistent
Whenever he get’s the ball down low I cringe….

We all lose if that happens
but especially Paul Allen and Greg lose.

What a waste of a season.
It would of been good to have Batum and Greg cover our defensive deficiencies. It would be nice if the other guys would step up for once (on defense).
yeah
i think we win this one

things we need to be a contender:
- a healthy Oden
- a motivated Roy who didn’t spend all offseason not touching a basketball
- an LMA who isn’t counting his money all day
- a better PG, or Bayless if he can develop a la Westbrook
- healthy, decent role players— Batum, Rudy and Outlaw might qualify in the future
- a coach who can teach pick and roll defense
That’s all we need. That’s it. We are practically there.

They only come into effect next year. Now they are still on their regular ones.
Which means LMA makes moar monay than Roy.
