If we did,
John Wall would suddenly find himself ineligible for health insurance.

We would also be the absolutely wrong team for him
He needs a high speed offense for his twists and turns
If we're in a position to draft Wall
we’re probably in a position for other moves as well.

I know. We've had some seriously bad luck.
And even if we didn’t, it seems like our development is sloooww.
Drive. Get fouled. Score and one's
Mark my words... Dante Cunningham will be an all star
Ugh
Not to be totally negative, but if this is what we are going to play like without oden, it is going to be a long 60 games. Hopefully just an fluke. Hopefully.

There is almost zero movement in our offense
Feels like watching a team full of Nowitzkis posting up 1 on 1. Only he can hit those.
They won't make changes with the head coach unless it's unavoidably necessary...
That might be by the end of this game.
It would be something to fire the coach
when he’s on the couch, at home, recovering from surgery.

Even if there was a chance it would happen (there's not)
They’d sacrifice the road trip and do business at home.
Also, since Nate was injured on company business, I bet they’d offer to reassign him in the organization to a front-office role.
They aren't under any obligation to keep him on a specific duty
They have to pay his contract and his medical bills, but I wouldn’t expect otherwise were it to happen.
I am Spartacus and I approved this message
by EngineerScotty on Dec 7, 2009 6:10 PM PST up reply actions
Oh I know there's no obligation
But I have a feeling they’d rather not have the media report that they fired a coach (who works for team USA) in the middle of recovery for an injury he got on duty.
If they did, I suspect the press release would have a very specific section on how his injuries will be taken care of by the team.
weeeee
i guess when you stand around not guarding anyone they call defensive 3 seconds on you
bummer

I don't think the Lord is having much to do with Roy at the moment
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
And the fire Nate movement seems apt again. This team is just not ready to play this season.
It's a tune-out fest.
Agreed,,,
Hasn’t Dean been with Nate for a long time?
Dean is Nate's #2 for a while now
That’s why he’s doing the coaching right now instead of Monty, who is well-regarded and almost got the Minn job.
There's the Roy iso and the Aldridge jump shot. Oh yes the Blake three.

he frequently drives and kicks. just not tonight. the main problem is that he hasn’t been able to finish very well this year.

He needs to improve
driving and hitting cutters or bigs; most of his assists it seems are on passes to the outside. And when those don’t fall

Remember all those times when Greg seemed to be keeping Portland in the game?
Then he’d leave the game and the opponents would go on a run?
Well, this is the first full game without him. It’ll take time for the team to adjust. I’m surprised they’re not falling back into their 2007 roles easier.
how long til they adjust to things like 'playing hard' and 'scrapping'?
every game they say they’re gonna do it….still waiting

It's just a bad game with huge adjustments after a bad weekend
Hopefully they’ll catch their breath and play better as the month goes on.
Simmons might have been generous...
Of course, he didn’t know we’d lose Oden. This is really depressing. I’ve rooted for plenty of Blazers teams that didn’t win a lot of games, but this isn’t even fun to watch. The offense is stagnant and ugly and the defense….the less said about that, the better. This isn’t just failing to live up to expectations; this is almost exactly the opposite of what I hoped for this year.
I don’t know if I can go through this many more times. :(
Simmons doesn't know jack
he got lucky. We lose Batum, Outlaw, and Oden. Don’t give that Homer any credit
They've had injuries, sure
But how does that explain the lack of effort and skill from those who remain? It’s a team wide regression. I don’t get it.
Did you think 6 of our roster would be injured by the 22nd game

Don't blame the assistants for the head guy
Given a head gig, either of them might do alright.

depends on our record. if we slip to .500 or below, then no.
regardless of record, he does’t remotely deserve it.

oh i don't think he'll make it.
There are too many other guards that have been having good seasons this year for him to be in.

He wouldn't get voted in anyway
The only way he can make it on the team is to be added by the coaches. And if they’ve been paying attention this year, he won’t make it.

Portland's PG of the Future - MORE John Wall
Treat people well because Karma can hit you at any second.
wow bayless is our best player
why doesn’t he start?
Perhaps you've heard of Future Hall of Famer
Steve Blake?
Duh!
it's funny
because it’s true.
no. wait. it’s funny.
because it’s not true.
wait…
it’s just not funny.:(

whats not funny is the blazers announcers are matching the players in skill and intensity
calling out that blazers are just missing good shots after blake botched that play
Please, for the love of all that is holy, please stop using the following: "Book it.", "FTW", "Epic" & "Fail".

The organization is protecting Blake
let’s hope it’s for good reason…

When the Knicks give you a general feeling of being overmatched, that's a bad sign...
I’m not worried that the Blazers are losing to the Knickerbockers…
I’m worried that it doesn’t feel like a fluke.
At least the Blazers will be adding another lottery pick to their stable of talent. Draft day 2010 will be fun.
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.
Duhon is a thug
Just like all good ex-Duke players.

...and they were just 2 points away from losing 5 in a row...
The defense of the early season helped hide the problematic offense, but now that the defense is gone…

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The fact that Bayless isn't getting more PT is a joke
If the Blazers continue to insist on playing Blake huge minutes for no apparent reason, as his PER hovers around 10, they will continue to drift towards the lottery.
It’s one thing when you’re stacked with talent and have Travis and Greg scoring double digits most nights. It’s another to rely on Blake when you have Przy and Martell on the floor for huge minutes and you really need scoring.
Q: Is Greg favoring his knee?
Frye: He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors.

It is becoming a real problem, and that is coming from somebody that really doesnt like Bayless's tunnel vision.
He is so much better than Blake though, it is laughable…

Don't want to get too deep. But, it doesn't look like they're playing for each other.
This is the first time I’ve felt like this team could totally fall apart.
I want them to win
But that wouldn’t be totally a bad thing. It would be a good look into which players are actually good when things are falling apart. Patty Mills? Bayless? Dante? You gotta go through the fire right?
see when jawan comes in he brings the energy

not always been a fan
but I am liking what I see from bayless, perhaps because I am not expecting him to be a point so much.
roy
sure looks overpaid… especially since it seems like he’ll always be slow on defense
WOW the blazers are so good!

jared needs to stand up to Roy and call him out. he's gotten fat off his contract and isn't giving any effort.
you guys call him ‘the natural’ but nothing about his game is natural. not his gifts, nothing. he’s a hard worker thats how he got where he did. and he seems to have forgotten that.

It's interesting that Bayless plays with some controlled intensity.
Instead of Martel’s spazzness.
He's 7/15 all of a sudden
Not good but not bad either.

JBay is the future at PG.
I see him as a Tony Parker for the blazers once he develops a little more. I might have to retire my Steve Blake fandom and change my name to JBaylessFan.
You might want to start that yesterday.
