Email
PrintI'm guessing that this won't be one of the highest-traffic games of the year so we're trying out just two Gameday Threads today. This one will go through the pre-game and on into the first half. As always please keep on topic, be respectful of each other, welcome newcomers, and avoid posting illegal links or requests for same. Enjoy!

Go Blazers!
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Go Lakers!!!
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
Just kidding
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!
Ah, so close.
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
It's either those or the Sunday 10am games we got a couple of times
Even better if you don’t have school/work the next day. Get that drinkin done early!

Times like these
require teams to have an offensive system that any player can execute, not just isolation plays and the hope of getting some fast break opportunities. Pryzbilla, Cunningham, Howard should be able to benefit from plays run for their position: they need to contribute some given number of points a game from plays run for them not just clean up points.
Nice
I want to see Joel get some isos.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.

Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
I wonder if being home and recuperating isn’t a good thing for Nate. It gives him a chance to step back and take a long look at his offensive schemes and the players he has left to work with. He might have a eureka moment and shake it up a little. Maybe a blessing in disguise…
I should not sarcastically mock someone I don’t completely agree with.

Don't you worry about a thing Bowsy. I was thinking of going with
528825 for a nice palindrome but now Rudy’s out too so I don’t know.
By the way, we had a kitty walk in and commandeer the house. She (we think) has us waiting on her hand and foot trying to fatten her up. She’s the most well-adjusted cat I’ve ever met and a very beautiful tiger strip.

then, they should charge admission at the practice facility

Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
You know, truly
They ought to be able to win many games, just the two of them. When you think about the supporting casts many other dynamic duos have had, we have no excuses. Think about the guys surrounding Stockton and Malone, Kobe & Shaq, Michael and Scotty, hell Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. Even after all our injuries, the guys we have left are at least as good as what the aforementioned had for teammates, and every one of those pairs went deep year after year.
Man, no LP in HD tonight, and not even an alternate broadcasting team choice.
How are Indiana’s announcers? I can’t remember.
Quinn Buckner (who does some college basketball during march madness) is their color commentator I think
He’s a “meh.” Can’t remember anything about their play by play guy.
#52
Doesn't sound as bad as NO or Cleveland, so good enough.
As a bonus, Friday night’s game is nationally televised, so I don’t have to listen to their announcing team Friday night.
hmmm, its entirely possible I confused Buckner with Kellogg, or they might both work for the Pacers.
#52
quick check reveals that both Buckner and Kellogg work for them, they share the analyst duties apparently.
I kind of like Kellogg. Buckner is more “meh.” Not sure who it will be tonight.
#52
I am taking tonight old school, listening via radio. I think it will be good for me.
get well soon, big guy.
#52
yeah, I will miss the second quarter anyway.
But I have finals and I figure I’ll just do some previous exams with Wheels narrating the action. He can be depressing, but radio is nostalgic for me.
get well soon, big guy.

I tried, we waited for them outside by the bus. They didn't come over to us, but they waved.
Maybe they were in a hurry to get to the airport. But we cheered are butts off that we made the knick fan in front of us so mad he asked us to stop. We obviousely said NO and kept on cheering.

Keys to the game:
1) Score more points than the Pacers. History shows when you do this, you win approximately 100% of the time.
2) Put the basketball through our hoop. This usually translates into points.
3) Prevent the Pacers from putting the basketball through their hoop. Advanced statistical analysis proves this increases a team’s point total and one of the keys is to score more points than the Pacers.
Roy, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Bayless, Blake, Miller, Joel... Holy crap!

No, it's so
He can grow a mini-Blake where his Achillies tendon used to be. If they only would have saved Blake’s umbellical cord, we could put a little Blake in everyone.
That's what happened with Nate
They cloned Nate, and the mini-Nate was an albino.

I don't mind that he complains
“Hey!” but he should do it while running down the court rather than out of bounds under the basket.
yea. that's annoying but
if the refs aren’t going to call that you may as well warm up the bus and go home.
hacking Brandon and LMA (assuming they are motivated) is the only hope Indy has in keep the Blazers from scoring 90 or more.

I'm ok if refs continue forever
As long as they pass stringent mental and visual acuity tests and a physical fitness test yearly.
I’m not sure Dick would pass one.
It was a flawless plan before Oden went down.

You know

Wild thought.
Someone injure Blake in a manner that doesn’t hurt but will sideline him for just a week. Then Andre can play PG with Roy, things will work out happy-go-lucky, and Blake will live in the bench forevermore.
You are too optimistic.

Trading Bayless would be a bad idea at this point. He has shown real improvement.
That drive at the end makes me want him to get the ball more.
Should be mroe
But the way things are going, I’ll take a 7 point lead.

That was a much better attempted play with just over 2 seconds left
Than the Blazers ran at the end of the 1st.
I love that play
toss it to one of your bigs up the court and have him pass it to one of your guards, who are sprinting up court. Pretty difficult to guard.

He's terrible. I'm actually not sure there's another team in the NBA he would start for.
Blake: 17 minutes, zero points, three assists, one steal
Bayless: 12 minutes, five points, two assists
Miller: 9 minutes, five points, two assists, three steals

Gotto like the SCRAPPY players!! Who cares if they can actually do anything else!!!
Just as long as they show me some SCRAP!!!!
Pound the air out of the ball.

look like GREAT defenders, hustlers, and point guards… in comparison…
Bayless isn’t creating much, but he’s also able to get to the basket with insane ease against this team.
get well soon, big guy.

He does that a lot
And he’s becoming smarter with his shot selection.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Bulls fans have figured out that Rose decides before the drive if he wants to shoot or pass
I feel Bayless does that too, but his scoring percentages are actually better.
He needs to scrap more.
