Injury free Oden should get nice stats, but All-star?
I AM A PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS SUPPORTER.
as long as Bynum and Ming stay injured
he might have a shot??
I hope Greg gets the last laugh over Bynum on being injury prone (not that I want Bynum to be injured… ok, I actually do)
Despite the injuries and what have you
he is putting up good numbers. And this is just a small part of his eventual repertoire. It could be next year, simply because centers are a rare breed. I’d say maybe two years from now? It all depends on the competition…and staying healthy, of course.
nah
Oden has WAY more hype than Bynum. If he puts up 15/10 next year, he’ll be an all-star because everyone and their mom knows who Greg Oden is.
draft dejuan blair
Nobody beats Yao in the fan voting. Bynum beats Oden by a mile in the coach voting.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
I'm telling you
Bynum looks better because he has Gasol and Kobe in that offense.
Oden will be better, flat out. He’s played more games this season than Bynum has in any season except the year in which he averaged a monstrous seven minutes per game.
draft dejuan blair
Oh, I forget, they list tons of PFs as "Centers". Which means Oden ain't making it anytime soon...
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Tony Parker had Blake disease tonight... 0-for-4 from the line down the stretch. Margin of victory was actually 1 (finished 3)...
The joke is that he got put to the line twice on two TERRIBLE homer blocking calls…

Thanks for the Chat, Dave
Put on your KP glasses. Do you look for a veteran PG who can make the offense unstoppable (Kidd or Nash (pending his option)) or a PG who can bring some semblance of defense (i.e. Hinrich) ?
Should I interject...

You should answer first, then Dave can copy you and he'll have a nice, relaxing evening without having to exert himself too much...

Point guards are so dear right now
that I don’t know if we’ll have a choice. These playoffs could well expose how much of a weakness (or strength) we have there though. The answer might be clearer then. I guess I envision any point guard acquisition as being a crusty veteran back-up guy right now.
That's interesting...
I didn’t really think about the play-offs as a litmus test to see where we REALLY have holes.
Perhaps this is why KP didn’t pull the trigger on any trades so he can evaluate where our biggest gaping hole is and address it in the off-season.
I didn't mean to turn you on
Hey Dave....in the podcast the other day you teased some sweet summer activities
Care to elaborate any or must we wait a while longer?
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
Gotta wait until summer
for the one I was mentioning. The announcement will come during the summer anyway, and it’s big.
However I am thinking of doing a book club with the newly republished “Breaks of the Game”, so if you want to be ready for summer pick up a copy!
Oh man I forgot that was republished
I gotta go get that.
The wife got me a copy of Adelman’s Blazer book, signed by Rick, for Christmas. So I vote for that if we do two books in the book club. :)
Thanks Dave!
Question: What happens at SF next year when Marty comes back?
I would say Nic starts again
Travis is backup 3/4 and Martell is backup 2/3
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
Ok, Travis full time 4
Frye is gone
Martell full time backup 3
Rudy full time backup 2
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
so...
24 minutes for Martell, 12 for Travis, and 10 for Rudy?
Something’s gotta give.
draft dejuan blair
My minute breakdown would be
Oden/Przy 24 each
PF – 32 LMA, 16 Travis
SF – 20 Batum, 25 Webster
SG – Broy 35, Rudy 13 + 3 from the SF slot
PG – Blake 28, Bayless 10, Sergio 10 (maybe less of a backup and more for blake)
Rough estimates. Assume at least one person at a time is injured, and some people get more minutes.
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
probably shift the lineups around so that Travis gets more minutes
and Sergio or Bayless gets less
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
yeh, he deserves more like 26
cut 10 from the backup point guards and give it to travis.
broy plays 10 minutes at point anyway. Batum slides down to SG and Travis plays SF

Hard to say
I wonder if he’ll return for the post-season. On the one hand I love some of the things Nic has shown and I think Nate appreciates him too. But except for those nights when he’s really on he’s probably not a 30-minute guy yet. I could easily see Martell starting and Nic getting his 20 minutes off the bench.
What do you advocate doing to fill the PG void?
There has been a lot of speculation of Washington’s draft pick being available. A lot of people are suggesting Rubio, the excellent defending and passing point from Spain, for the Blazers.
We’d be even younger, albeit better defensively. I dunno.
draft dejuan blair
If you can get Rubio
without breaking up your team, sure. But except for a complete no-brainer I think we’re done with young point guards for now. It’s time to win, not teach.
I mostly agree
Rubio is pretty prepared though… he’s been a pro for years and years, and was incredible in the Olympics.
Rubio-Batum-Oden would be a pretty darn dominant defensive trio.
draft dejuan blair
A draft pick to get Rubio will cost us.
This would not be a simple buy a pick from Phoenix situation. We would be giving up young talent and taking back bad contracts.
ok
so if we gave up Bayless, money, a pick, and took back a bad contract and Rubio, would you be okay?
We got the Roy pick in similar fashion.
draft dejuan blair
I'm late but it's a discussion I'm interested in.
We simply don’t have the space for a mid-to-late first round pick to languish on the bench, unless they prove to be really studly. I’d happily trade away the pick and a piece for something or work our way up the draft board, I don’t see teams like Washington wanting to trade away their pick however.
by Se Hace La Vista Gorda on Mar 21, 2009 5:17 AM PDT up reply actions
usually there are good undersized pf late in the draft
that’s the type of player I’d aim for.
Don’t ask me who, because I don’t follow college bball
So, how do you do it Dave?
I’m basically interning in the same job that you currently have. I’ve got two young children (my youngest is about the same age as baby-point guard) and a family to take care of. I find enough time to watch the Blazers, but I don’t know how you find the time to write about them as much as you do. Do you just not sleep? I’m curious, because I would like to find the time to do other things too.
Patience is underrated. Fan opinons are overrated. So, yes, that means that I too am overrated.
Where are you doing your internship?
I do almost all my blogging from 11:00 p.m. on. That doesn’t interfere with work or family time, just sleep. Basically I give up all extracurricular activities during the season except this and catch up in the off-season.
In Waterford, Wisconsin.
Waterford is to Milwaukee what Corbett is to Portland.

what advice would you give to somebody who thinks religion is "sexy"
in the sense that it would make life more meaningful and joyful perhaps… but has never been able to “find God” or really get involved in spirituality???
Get involved in politics or some single-issue cause that is meaningful to you and gets you working with other people for the "cause."
There are various substitutes for religion out there…
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Don't look for short-term success.
Sure, there are many books out there, and the preacher-man in the box may promise it. But do the same thing a good historian would do. Check out the source documents. Don’t worry about finding God, or having a personal or emotional experience. All that does is point inside one’s self. God’ll find you all on His own. Just don’t stand in the way.
That’s a good place to start. Of course, more questions will arise. People study this stuff their whole lives and don’t get it all. But it is also simple enough to be understood by the smallest child. God always does his stuff in the ways that we expect the least.
Hey, if you ever want to ask more specific questions, my e-mail is in my profile. It might take me a couple days to respond though.

It's never as good in the English.
But learning Ancient Greek isn’t something that a lot of people are going to do. Also, if you want to do this, it’s probably better to start with the New Testament, rather than the Old. While Genesis is sultry and exciting, Numbers will just about kill you with censuses.

What do ancient Greeks have to do with the Old Testament anyways?

Nothing.
It was written in Hebrew. Although, it was translated into Greek. And that’s the Bible that is quoted in the New Testament, even by Jesus.

I would reassure you that you are absolutely correct that your religion should
make life more meaningful and joyful, so don’t give up. The gospel teaches “seek and you will find”, “knock and the door will be opened”. So seeking the truth of God is right on. There is a living spiritual realm you can, and should, experience – like spiritual food. “Taste and see that God is good”. Do read the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) . Ultimately, “the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power”. Do go for it. The little I know has convinced me that there is much more available from God than most people (including many “religious” ones) realize. And I certainly have much to learn.

Anyone hear about Batum and LMA?
Anyone hear any updates on either of their status?
I would be surprised if LMA plays in Milwaukee. Brain injuries are not to be trifled with. Two weeks wouldn't be unexpected...
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
it's a mild concussion, reportedly
they expected him to play in Cleveland because it was a Grade 1.

Head Injuries
Head injuries are a tough pickle. Look at Natasha Richardson. She thought it was just a bump in the head and few days later, she assumes room temperature.
What kind of player do you see a healthy Oden becoming?
I see a David Robinson type player, just with not as much of an offensive repertoire…
Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. We want this not only for his sake-but for the nation's sake. Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not military preparations-for armed might is worthless if we lack the brain power to build a world of peace; not our productive economy-for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government-for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.
-President Lyndon B. Johnson
I dunno
Oden is much younger than Robinson was as a rookie. He has four years to develop a post game.
draft dejuan blair
Robinson's shot was very suspect when he entered the league
Then he developed a herky-jerky jumper that was really effective from about 15 feet in. He was always a good shot-blocker and rebounder. If Greg can develop half the offensive repertoire as Robinson, I’d be thrilled.
A three-pointer is not a "triple." A triple is a hit in baseball.
Defensive intimidator
Rebounding giant
Super dunker
Decent low-post player
Never the star of the team, but the most irreplaceable piece.
I hope he's better than ewing...
i was never really impressed with him. I thought he was a bit slow and overrated.

Ewing still seems the most comparable big I've seen -- and I share your "underwhelmed" rating of him.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
my my my
how quickly people forget.
Oden isnt 1/20 the player Ewing was. Look at Ewing’s averages throughout his career. He was a monster.
People want to say Dwight Howard is so awesome, Ewing averaged Lebron type numbers for a few years at the Center position. 28+ ppg, 10+ rpg, 2-3 blk per game.
Im pretty sure Ewing also scored 58 points and had some crazy amount of rebounds in a game.
Hi fans it Brandon Roy.
And ME.....LaMarcus Aldridge
What needs to happen, in your mind, for the Blazers to win a playoff series?
Could include opponents, who needs to step up, etc
#1 advantage
would be homecourt.
Short of that, pray.
I see the Blazers competing hard but winning 4 games in 7 against a playoff-level team without homecourt given the Blazers’ inexperience and their road record against good teams this year seems like a stretch.
Pac-10 5-1 in the tourney so far
Beating the Big East, Mountain West, Atlantic 10, SEC, and wherever Virginia Commonwealth is from. Underrated, anyone?

No.
Travis’s ideal position is the 4. He dislikes playing the 3 but he is playing that position.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
True
but that’s not going to be a permanent solution. Travis needs more minutes than LaMarcus will leave at the 4. Unless you also make LMA the back-up center something has got to give somewhere. It’s too soon to know what, though, other than Frye is the most likely first victim.
Dave, can you remove "megustanumerocinco" from the jersey contest so i can be in first place??

Hi, you have stated that we basically have no chance to get out of the first round...
is there anything that could realistically happen before the end of the year that would make you change your mind (as in player an team development)?
Not sure what Martell could contribute at this point of the year
but wouldn’t hurt to have the option of finding out. A healthier Greg is certainly a key!
by QuebecBlzrFan on Mar 20, 2009 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions
The option is what we need out of Martell.
Plus it;s his true position and and he has experience running our plays. He’s also built differently compared to our other 3 spot options. I think these are realistic events that could help us indefinitely.
I think he can help us out talent wise, skill wise, bodytypewise (is that a word)
but the guy hasn’t played ball since the pre-season… what I meant was how game ready can he be at that point?
by QuebecBlzrFan on Mar 20, 2009 8:38 PM PDT up reply actions
He's a known unknown.
Not sure how he bounces back but having another body could be good plus I’ve heard from him that defense is a priority for him when returning. So even if his shot is lacking he can focus on defense. We could use that, an effective body. Just simply, another reasonable option.
Homecourt Advantage
Some really solid wins against good teams on the road, or even one really solid critical win in that situation. The Denver game on March 5th was such a night but we lost handily. The Blazers just haven’t experienced that many truly critical games.
At this point I think the team’s development is pretty set for the year. They are what they are. It’s been amazing too. But teams that need to grow more in the last dozen games to improve their playoff prospects don’t usually win in the playoffs.
guess you're right
still I thought they showed growth during the road trip and faced with big challenges. I thought maybe that if Blake gets it going, Rudy get’s his second win and basically that the team keeps playing with an attitude that they might take another step.
It is a great season… better than I ever expected.
by QuebecBlzrFan on Mar 20, 2009 8:24 PM PDT up reply actions
You're right I think
Those “ifs” are there and it’s possible for them to come true. But the general rule of playoff basketball is that the team with the fewest “ifs” wins. There might be an aberration for a series, as anything can happen. But real playoff success only comes when you KNOW you’re going to win it.
—Dave
So, do ya'all think Oden will be coming off the bench the rest of the year?
Or do you think it’ll be a similar situation to earlier in the year, when Oden took about two weeks coming off the bench before Nate re-inserted him to the starting lineup? My best guess is that he’s coming off the bench the rest of the year.
"Smile! You're on a poster!!" - Mike Rice
He'll dominate the second units of other teams
9 rebounds in 12 minutes. You gotta love that.
It's hard to tell with Nate
It’s also hard to tell what Joel will do. He tends to play best when we rely on him solely. It’s like he gets this mental edge or something. Even Oden’s presence may affect things. I do believe Joel will play very well either way, but he’s been playing out of his MIND the last few weeks. I <3 him.
I too <3 joel...I even have his jersey, and bought it 2 sizes too big cuz it was the only one they had left, to prove it!

He's in his 9th season and has everything to prove.
He plays through injury because he knows he’s becoming that veteran piece to depend on. Joel is great.

Any interest in unusual sports (I assume getting positions to cover basketball and such are harder to get)? Fresh angles to tell the story that make you stand out?
Yeah I heard it
It was very interesting. I think both Simmons and Klosterman’s points were dead on: newspapers were freaked out by the immediacy of the internet, then gave up comprehensive, thorough reporting for free immediacy on their websites.

When the Cavs spread the floor towards the end of the game and in overtime and Lebron blows past Travis and Brandon repeatedly, why not bring an early double-team and force the guy to give up the ball. It was so frustrating watching him destroy us late in that game!!
I don't normally do this, but I felt compelled to tell you something. You have an absolutely breath-taking... heiney. I mean, that thing's good. I wanna be friends with it
lebron was handing out dimes
when guys like Ilgauskas can hit outside J’s from the guy what can be done to stop that?

How about Joel Przybilla
getting switched out on him on the perimeter twice and left on an island? This is where we really missed LaMarcus. However given the personnel out there I’m not sure even a double would have helped much. He’s LeBron. That’s what he does. We did force him into a lot of misses last night, including one in the last seconds of regulation that would have won it.

Does our first round match-up matter?
Aside for the home court advantage issue, does portland have a significant advantage with any likely first round matchups?
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."

Not with Dallas
But you already knew that. I almost think the Blazers have as good a chance against the l*kers as anyone else, just because of how intense and focused the team always is for those games.
Other than that, I’d say that a team that has a problem consistently hitting jump shots would be a good matchup, because with a healthy Greg the paint is defended much better. If teams can’t get guys open for jumpers or don’t have consistently good spot-up shooters, that caters to Portland’s strengths.

I think there are some that we'd have advantages against
in certain areas. I like our big man play against New Orleans or Utah, for instance. But each of our prospective opponents also has advantages and they all have experience too. That means any way you slice it the order is tall.
Are you going to coach baby point guards basketball teams as he grows?
I’ve often wondered if I should coach my boy but I then I think there will always be a more intense parent.
This was my 4th year coaching my daughter's team
She’s in 6th grade. She loves having her dad as the coach. At the younger ages, it’s all about having fun. I’m willing to give up the coaching as soon as it becomes really competitive.
I used to love school sports
Now I shy away from them because it’s gotten out of whack. It’s too important to too many people and there’s too much pressure put on winning. Plus then there are the parents. I have often thought I’d love to do something with school sports in a perfect world, but I just couldn’t deal with it. Plus it’d be hard to be coach and hold my normal position. People get mad at me for no good reason anyway without the “You don’t play my kid enough” stuff thrown in.

When is using the "two towers" most effective?
I’m sure most are curious. Both Greg and Joel in at the same time? Against teams with bad perimeter shooters? I’m curious. Fast teams would probably burn them but they were effective against Boston for a bit.
They were effective somewhat
because it was a surprise to the opponent. The real problem with a regular diet of that is that neither guy can score outside of 4 feet and right now both have trouble scoring in straight-up post sets too. You have to hit them open to be sure of a bucket. That means the opponent could simply camp in the middle all day without fear which would pretty much stymie our drivers.
both wore green too
very confusing. – Elgin

Comparison to the 90's teams
I’m struck by this team by how many guys have the ability to hit a jumper consistently, Roy, LMA, Blake, Rudy, Trout, Webster. If I remember correctly, the only guys from the early 90’s teams I really trusted to hit a jumper were Porter and Ainge. Even Clyde threw up some clankers from time to time (after all, Eddie Doucette once referred to his shot as “flatter than a bedsheet in an army barracks”).
Am I missing anybody else from those teams? (already thought of one, Danny Young)
A three-pointer is not a "triple." A triple is a hit in baseball.
Yeah, but...
I was usually worried when that went up. He didn’t have Travis’ propensity for fading 6 feet to the right while shooting, but it was almost as much of an adventure. He really had it going later on though, like in 91-92
A three-pointer is not a "triple." A triple is a hit in baseball.
Kersey had a nice jumper
late in his career, as did Cliff Robinson. Not as much during the glory years. Clyde’s jumper was shaky early but was fine by the 90’s.
This team has a lot of guys who can shoot facing up. It’s a good quality to have. I’ll be happiest when that becomes their ace in the hole and the meat of their offense is in the paint. You’ve been seeing more of that in the last couple weeks.
we've led the free throw battle in twelve straight games
tied for the longest streak in the NBA this year.

Kersey was reliable shooting the J during the PTB glory years with Clyde, TP, Buck , etc. Must I sit you down and watch the playoff games from my VCR collection?
I AM A PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS SUPPORTER.
Funny you said that
I’m just getting home and catching up, and laughed at this part. I remember them being an ok jump-shooting team.
Then I’ve been PVR’ing the classic games on NBA TV. Portland had basically 4 starters who could hit a 20-footer reliably by 1992: Porter, Kersey, Clyde and Duck. And they heavily leaned on that advantage. I watched those games and thought “wow, I forgot how proficient they were”
It could be tainted by the fact these are all defined as “classic games”. It’s not like NBA TV has a segment called “NBA games you forgot for a reason” or anything. That might cancel out these thoughts.
I wish the NBA would archive all the old games online! I’d watch all the early 90’s seasons!
I recorded alot of games during the 90's

Martell's Impact....
Do you think that Martell can have a positive impact coming back? In disrupting the rotation, both Nic and Travis could be thrown out of rhythm. Do you think that his shot will be any where near what it was last season?
If his shot is on
he will have a tangible impact. We would have won that Cleveland game had Rudy’s shot been on. Martell would feast on those open threes that our weak-side wings get.
I'm more worried about his
fitness level and his confidence in his foot being healed. He won’t be effective if he worries that he might re-injure himself.

Rubio Futures
Here’s a hypothetical for you: Do you remember how Red Auerbach drafted Larry Bird after his junior year and then signed him before the next year’s draft? Have the rules changed on this? My devious brain got to conniving and thought if Ricky Rubio stays out of this year’s draft could the Blazers draft him anyway and sign him the following year? Could they pay him more eventually if they drafted him in the second round? Maybe they could trade their 1st round pick for the first pick of the second round (#31) and wait until next year to sign him for more money than they could a 1st round pick? Devious AND confused?

The Economy and The NBA
Dave, do you think considering the financial crisis, that some teams will pare down their roster to cope with financial woes, and if so, does this give the PTB an advantage considering Paul Allen can still probably afford the best talent?
I AM A PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS SUPPORTER.
I think there will be some big-contract players available
as we’ve already seen. But nobody will want to get rid of true premium players because that will destroy ticket sales and ad revenue. You have to be careful if you’re considering picking up people’s cast-offs. It’s kind of like buying a used car. You could get the car of your dreams but you could also get stuck with a lemon.
There will be teams that always have money...
I think that despite PA’s deep pockets, there will always be teams in the NBA that have pockets that are just as deep, at least by NBA standards. Paul can’t and won’t spend all his money and there are cap limits. The economic woes limit some teams, but the L*kers and Boston will always have $$$ to spend.

Now I understand, Dave, that you don’t want to openly share your concerns, but, I have thought about how nice it would be if WE were in control of our software… we can make any changes we want, we can try, readily any options we want… we can develop and then even share our platform. I am confident we would have NO problem bringing our members with us…. ah, where are Dave & Ben??? OHHHHHHH, OK. That’s were we be going! Now, it was recently suggested that I try another browser to improve (more like enable) the game time thread, and I have not tried that yet.. So, that might help. But, as a web developer, creating our own site could be a gas. Plus, maybe SBN is raking off the advertising revenue… I know it is not all all about money, but money can be handy for lots of creative things (assumming you already have food and shelter), traveling to games, cameras, recorders, Vegas, …. prizes… Anyway, if you are not delighted with the appreciation/support you are getting from SBN, you could quietly investigate other options….

Dave, will you be attending the Summer League this year?
and if so, can I send in my donation early this time?
I AM A PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS SUPPORTER.
We haven't worked out
which one of us, or maybe both of us, will be attending this year. It’ll depend on a few things. But either way I’ll have better things for you to put your donations towards. Thank you so much for the thought though!
Is Summer League fun for us non-reporter types?
I’d been considering a trip this year (the wife’s onboard) but I’m wondering what it’s really meant for us random folks to spend all day watching games and people-watching.

Pretty sure this was the timeline:
1. She hits her head and the instructor stops everything.
2. She says she’s ok, jokes around, and heads back to her room, turns down medical attention (the instructor pressured her to get medical attention, which by rule).
3. At some point, an emergency crew came to look at her but was turned away.
4. An hour or so afterward, she felt ill and was taken to the hospital.

I'm good and crash extremely rarely :) Plus it just wasn't usual when I learned skiing and snowboarding
But the slopes have become more crowded in recent years in many resorts, and last year a beginner threw herself right into me when I was at about 30 mph leading to a fall on my back and whiplash symptoms. I was happy that I had the back protector. Modern helmets make a lot more sense, so yeah.

It never crossed our minds to have helmets. Now, I wouldn’t get on the slopes w/o one.

Wow. sienna nails a three.
I do believe in Greg, I do believe in Greg. I do I do I do I do I do believe in Greg.
After a ton of consideration
I think I’m picking New Orleans and Utah officially as the teams I’d like to face in the first round. That doesn’t mean I think we can beat either in seven games without homecourt, but I think those would be the most entertaining matchups.
I would prefer Houston or San Antonio or the Lakers
Lot to learn, and I think we could beat at least Houston.
I am the Hornet ambassador
and somewhat a New Orleans fan.
I’m telling you, they are really playing poorly right now. Every player on the roster has regressed, other than Paul. West and Chandler are playing poorly. Greg can dominate their backup bigs.
That is the matchup.

I don't find losing to the Lakers entertaining.
And if we were to draw them, it would take a miracle for any other outcome.

I think we could hang with NO on their turf but not Utah...
I almost would rather face LA or San Antonio than Utah.
I follow the teachings of Rick Adelman from the 1990 WCF when it comes to this question.
CBS: “Rick, the Bulls and Pistons are going to game 7. Which of those teams would you rather face?”
Rick: “I don’t care!” (then goes back to partying)
In reality it probably wouldn't matter
The goal is to win no matter who is across from you. But everybody asks what team we should face. I think both New Orleans and Utah would be plenty entertaining, good basketball, and present the chance for the Blazers to maximize wins.
I will tell you right now that I will be THRILLED if the Blazers can make the second round.

What is your most favorite memorable Blazer moment(s) you can recall this season thus far? Your all-time favorite memory moment(s) in Blazers history?
"Here's Blake To Roy... This Is For The Win... YESSSS!!!!!!" - Marv Albert
I have a hard time doing the current season
while it’s underway. One game rushes into the next. However I think you’d have to say that 18 seconds against Houston. Plus blowing out the L*kers and Rudy getting smacked out of the air. The Christmas Day loss against Dallas hurt.
All-time, in no particular order:
—The Championship
—Strickland’s over-the-head pass to Kersey when we beat San Antonio in Game 7 of the WCF in 1990. Also Duck’s Willis Reed imitation in that same game.
—The Hillsboro Airport
—Danny Young’s shot not being counted against Detroit in the Finals.
—Losing Game 1 of the Finals in ‘92 with Jordan’s shoulder shrug
—Ball through Uncle Cliffy’s hands against the L*kers in ‘91
—Porter missing the shot at the end of that same game and Magic flinging the ball downcourt
—Kersey’s dunk during the Perfect First Quarter
—Getting the news that we had traded lower roster players for Scottie Pippen
—The collapse against the L*kers in ’00
—Winning the lottery for Oden
—Clyde getting traded
in the grand scheme of things
that wasn’t on the level of the Oden lottery or Clyde trade, I don’t think.

how about Walton's injury?
that was a huge moment in the franchise… shoulda been multiple titles.
draft dejuan blair
I remember
Then-Prez Bush #1 saying something like “The Blazers are playing great. My congratulations to the people of Maine” back when we started the season 12 and 0.
Did I remember something that really happened, or was it made up?
I know I was told he said that back then
Though I can’t say my young ears heard the quote out loud.
Other people told me that during that nice start.
—Strickland’s over-the-head pass to Kersey when we beat San Antonio in Game 7 of the WCF in 1990. Also Duck’s Willis Reed imitation in that same game.
They had that one on NBA TV recently. :) It’s on my DVR, I’m keeping it.
If we’re including unhappy memories, Drazen is unfortunately on the list.
For happy memories, Terry Porter’s layup/high five, and buzzer-beater three, in the Tacoma-dome.
Mine
would have to be a toss up between Roy’s buzzer beater against the Rockets and his 52 point game performance against the Suns. My all-time favorite was the entire series of the 2000 WCF against… well… you know who? I couldn’t sleep for weeks after my depressing feelings took over me after game 7. I was 16 years old, and all I did for days was go to the b-ball park and hit shots to make the pain go away…

As a younger fan and/or one with a bad memory
What happened at Hillsboro Airport? Or is it a reference to something? It’s somewhat close to me so I’m interested.
When the Blazers got back from winning the WCF in 1990 I think
over 5000 people were waiting at the Hillsboro airport to welcome back the team.

1990
Blazers win WCF in Phoenix to reach the NBA finals for the first time since the championship. Me and friends just watched the game and are geeked completely out of our minds. KEX sportscaster Scott Lynn announces on the radio that the team will be flying into Hillsboro Airport that night…that they’re not staying overnight in Phoenix. They used to fly in there instead of PDX because it was much less crowded and closer to home for many. My friend looked at me and said, “Want to go?” I said sure. So we drove out. By the time we got there thousands of people had already joined the party. There were, like, three sheriff’s deputies or something to control the whole crowd. People were hanging in trees, jumping fences to the tarmac, you name it. But everyone was cool and happy. The roar that came up from that crowd when the Blazers’ plane landed in the middle of the night and the players emerged matched anything you’ve ever heard in the arena, and we were completely out of doors. The players were beaming from ear to ear…every one of them. It was magic.
Thanks Dave

But if he is in shape, some of Nic’s minutes are available. Sorry to say that because I love what he’s done for a rookie, but he is a rookie. He can also give about the same production off the bench. However it may be a moot point as Martell may not make it back into shape.
game shape is tough work

He's been eating healthy and has kept an ideal weight.
He’s done almost everything he can to maintain his shape when he was in the boot. He was still shooting but it comes down to shaking that rust off.
Any chance they'll give Roy the back-up point guard minutes to free up time for Martell?
meaning that Blakey will probably be in the first subs out, so he can sub back in for Brandon at the end of the 1st quarter…

Why are the back up point guards strugling so much?
Regardless of which one is better both of them seemed to play at a higher level earlier in the season. What is your theory?
They don't!
They’ve both shown glimpses this season. But it almost seems mental with them both right now.
harsh ....but funny....
I’ll settle on they are both underperforming right now ….and are more unhappy about it than we are…

Different reasons
Sergio has no idea when he’ll play, how much, or whether the next mistake will get him pulled from the game. That tightens him up.
Bayless is pressing, plain and simple. He knows there’s an opportunity for playing time, he knows each game is important this time of year, and it seems to be getting to him.

Minutes has something to do with it
We could absorb erratic play better earlier in the season than we can now, so they got more minutes to work out their mistakes. Now that every game matters we need Blake on the floor more.
Also other teams are in crunch time too. When they see Sergio come on the floor, for instance, they know it’s an automatic pick and roll with him involved. Whne they see Jerryd they back off and make him shoot. Earlier in the season they weren’t as familiar with their weaknesses and weren’t targeting matchups the same way.
Also we’re focusing more on our main guys. The back-up point guards are sort of extra bonuses. It’s bread-and-butter time.
Plus as hard as this is to imagine, the season may simply be draining on them. Even though they haven’t been playing much they’ve been on the road and practicing and all of that. In some ways not playing could make that worse—not so much in physical fatigue but the physical-mental-emotional combo.

Although Denver’s recent run has bumped them to +3.0 on the year. Dallas is really playing above their statistical perfomance level, a la the Mariners in ’07.

I could see it in a Dirk/Nash/Nash type year that they won it in, where no Lebron-type talent has an amazing year in a GOOD team, and we’re just the best in the world and Roy is still the engine that drives it and yada yada…

And acclaimed by everybody as so? 3 more years from now, to be safe. This year we’ll see an early playoff loss. The book says after the one early exit great teams take an enormous jump, like into the conference finals. Teams that spend a lot of time mucking around in the first round don’t usually end up great. So next year’s the jump year. The year after hopefully contending seriously. And it takes a year before people start admitting that anybody but the L*kers is elite.

Somehow bank robbers will break into our house and steal her 20 boxes of samoas EVERY YEAR, it’s crazy I can’t explain it.
It’s all they take too, just samoas, nuthin’ else. I’d be bad at them if they weren’t so specific about their robbing needs.

Addendum
IF WE DO WIN THE DIVISION…
…do we win the 1st round?
I’d be shocked if we won the division, but I’ll take it. I think we can win the 1st round against a few teams not named Houston, since it’ll be easier to win one on the road even for us than it is for the bad guys to win in the Rose Garden.
I hope. We thought that in 1990, right?
i think Houston won't go pass he 1st round...i want to take them on...
Yao’s not gonna last. He’s the chinese playoff version of Bowie.
Yes on Proposition #9 (RLEC must go!!!!)
I don't think they'll beat much of anyone else
But Artest and Battier do a good job on Roy (especially Artest), and Scola is good on LMA,and Oden isn’t experience enough to really negate Yao (he will soon enough though).
I just don’t like how we look against them.
They aren’t that strong team-wide though… I just think they’ll hurt our stars, and I don’t trust our bench to win more than a game here or there in the playoffs.
Artest's ankles have yet to recover from the last beating Roy put on them

I think winning the division
would be the best chance for us winning the first round obviously, not just for the matchup but for the confidence factor. Who shuffles down though? There are still a bunch of rough matchups even with homecourt advantage.
If we win the division Nate BETTER win Coach of the Year, period.

Let's say this
Although there’s no way to put a meaningful number on our chances without knowing the opponent, I’d give the Blazers somewhere between a 20-30% chance of winning a first-round series without homecourt. If they won the division that would go up to between 40-50%. I think it would be that important to them.
Also, how much does it rock that we've already passed Hollinger's win prediction for us?
he had us at 42. pwned!

Oh hey, another question (since everyone's still up)

Certain NBA players have to make you stop and think about it for a minute. At least there are less stereotypical “steroid injuries” than, say, baseball.

Yeah, there were years of "Freak of Nature" comments in baseball
Then one day, boom. All the stories broke. It leaves me with a pause every once in a while. I just look at a few players and think, “can their genes really be that good?”
It sometimes feels like an unfair thought, but it’s a product of recent events.
I go back and forth on this
On the one hand some of these guys look downright unnatural. But some people are apparently built like that. And you actually don’t have to get all buffed out when you’re using. Sometimes smaller guys take them too. I do wonder how much they’d help, if at all. How would they affect your leaping ability? Quickness? Cutting? It wouldn’t surprise me to know some guys used them. It would surprise me if the percentage was high.
After seeing Denver's trainer
Who is clearly, obviously, unequivocally on ’roids… I dunno.
I don’t think it would help most players, but in the undersized PF bruiser crowd? Why not take it and get bruizier, if you’re not a skilled player anyways?

Let the differences between MLB and NFL show
Unless the powers that be want steroids to be exposed and cleaned up, it’s not gonna happen. Baseball has to expose steroid use to make the game appear legitimate (and give talk radio something to talk about), but the NFL has no need nor desire to expose steroid use, so while there is occasionally the token steroid violation, you don’t hear about it like you do in baseball.
For the NBA, the league has had bigger issues to deal with for years like the image of players and getting more scoring back in the game, so steroids has never been at the top of their list of concerns.

The NFL is fun to watch because of the athletic abilities of its players. It would be against the NFL's best interest ...
… to expose and/or police the use of steroids as much as MLB.
...
It's the next scandal waiting to happen in the NFL and NBA
I listened to an assistant NFL commissioner who seriously claimed urine tests would be sufficient. They also don’t cooperate with the Wada, and have the samples tested by labs that report to the league (not independent, so they could cover up positive tests). A positive test leads to 4 games suspension, instead of 2 years as in other sports.
In the NBA, a few years ago veterans were tested once in the off-season. Once! I know Wada-tested athletes who have to report where they will be EACH DAY year round weeks in advance via an online tool so the controllers can find them. Three missed tests is like a positive one. Track and field athletes, cyclists, cross country skiers would roll on the floor laughing in joy if they could not be tested year-round. The labs even create blood profiles so they can report abnormal increases presumably due to drugs that can’t be discovered yet – to be reviewed later.
I don't know
I’d think this would be one of the more obvious sports to catch steroid use but who knows?
Blazers win!
That's the weird part. Often it's used for injury recovery.
Nobody thought about A-Rod using them until it hit the news.
I actually think the best case for “they’re clean” is the likely number of investigative reporters who haven’t uncovered anything yet.
Yeah
Names woulda’ showed up by now.
Matt Geiger was caught for steroids, actually. He’s the only NBAer I can think of.
While there were hints about McGwire at the time (the Andro stuff)
There was no Sosa hint until much later.
So while it’s a promising sign nothing has broke, I’m still leery.
You’d assume the pro wrestling world would have been further exposed by digging reporters after the Benoit events, but there was no major revelations. It may just be hard to uncover from the outside. (that is, of course, IF there are problems in wrestling. Of course)
Sosa was, to me, sorta obvious though...
…Anyone who gets a HUGE jump in numbers, seemingly overnight, is suspicious to me.
People who were good in high school, college, consistently… less so.
So what I’m saying is, Von Wafer is juicing.
And then there is A-Rod. So I dunno.
I think the A-Rod thing made everyone stop and say "huh."
Now, no athlete is safe from people wondering.
i was at a restaurant in the Pearl...and when i went to take a bathroom break
bumped into 5 games doing lines of cocaine on the toilet seats…i never thought this restaurant would allow for it and it was a shock.
i made sure my shiz stunk so that they snort that part of it in too….i wasn’t happy that they ruin the image of that restaurant for me

Martin draws more foul shots and shoots a better percentage on threes.
He’s obviously better.
draft dejuan blair
by Cablinasian on Mar 20, 2009 11:39 PM PDT up reply actions
I remember Ziller had Roy like #50 in the NBA
And kevin Martin was like #15.
K-Mart is a terrific scorer but doesn’t do anything else. It isn’t even close and it never was.
He’s a great co-star. He ain’t no franchise.
last year it was fairly close
Roy was better, but it wasn’t completely ridiculous.
this year, its obviously not close. Martin hasn’t added to his game at all.
I think the one-dimensionality made it silly to me
There is no doubt Martin was insanely efficient, but it was one thing he was good at.
Scoring is important, but compared to scoring PLUS playmaking PLUS rebounding and better defense (Roy ain’t all defense, but better than Martin), it was odd last year as well.
The only change is now Roy scores 4 points more per game than last year… and is more experienced.
I, personally, was surprised how much Artest actually disguised Martin’s flaws by being so good on defense and being a ballhog on offense… made Artest the bad guy, and Martin looked all the better for it. I figured he’d do much better without Artest robbing him of shots, but without anyone else Martin isn’t as efficient.
HOWEVER, he has been injured a LOT this year, so I expect him to bounce back next season.
He’s still just a scorer, a Melo in SG body. How he kind came out of nowhere to actually be really good, and his efficiency blowing stat dudes minds, made him overrated.
that's not at all the only change with Roy
He’s dramatically increased his TS% and he’s cut his already low turnover rate down even further. Martin was the better player by PER and several other metrics last year. Sure he didn’t do as many things as Roy but he was such a fantastically efficient scorer that Ziller making that case was not ridiculous.
I think it was a good example of stats... well, not "lying" but overstating the point
When watching, Roy affects the game a lot more. Always did, even as a rookie.
You’re right, he elevated his game in many ways… it’s the same sort of game though. Control the offense, smart shots, get to the rim (gets more calls now), unselfish… etc.
Not to knock Martin, who is/was an incredibly efficient scorer. He just never truly affected an actual game like Roy does.
The numbers overstate Martin’s impact… a white lie, I guess.
The biggest thing with Roy’s universal respect now, is that his numbers now accurately reflect his on-the-court impact. He was a tricky player to gage before, I think.
I think scoring by itself is relatively cheap
Now, Martin was a terrific scorer last year, but scoring on its own does not affect a game as much as Roy’s CONTROL of a game.
Martin’s numbers are nice, but they don’t really help as much as they look like they help.
Martin should be a better scorer than Roy, always (when healthy). The fact that he doesn’t do much of anything else makes him not as effective as his stats made him appear. I am wary of guys who only score, even if they are EXTREMELY efficient.
Now, you’d want Martin on your team because of how he can score, but he can’t lead a team anywhere even at his best.
That control over a game is what always seperated Roy from a guy like Martin, and Martin’s numbers made it appear more equal. But like I said, raw scoring with not much else doesn’t really help a team that much. Even hyper efficient scoring, if it isn’t helping any other players on your team.
Thank you!
I heard Rubio told Rudy he would sign with all teams but the Kings and Wolves. (At least I think Rudy wants to start that rumor.)
Thanks Dave!

he's from Norsklandia

was just going to post that!
I know it’s not the middle of the night where he is right now, but he posts when it is, too.
ah
that would drive me crazy. Daylight Saving time messes with me as it is already.

hey Dave
when does the moratorium on ‘last’ posts outside of game threads begins? or the removal of subsequently not last lasts?

Okay, look-- I got a confession
If we lose today, it’s my fault.
I just took Mercury the Destrukteress for her pre-bed walk, and like an idiot I forgot a doggy poo bag. My leash even has a zip up pocket for them, and it was empty. Now, I never ever forget to bring a bag, and it is unlucky to not pick up her leavings.
But, I was a few blocks from home, no bag or substitute in sight, and I had to leave it. It’s the first time I’ve ever done that, ever. I never forget a bag.
If we lose… it’s on me.

Can someone help me with Martell Webster?
What do people expect out of him? Is he going to contribute in April? Do we expect him to take the starting job back from Batum who has played very well as of late? Also, is this foot injury a threat to his career? Sorry for the smattering of questions…

my bracket was PWNING for awhile.
but now i have completely dropped off. i only have like 10 of the 16 teams right. im a noob. and i actually have only watched like 3 or 4 games. washington-purdue, washington-MSU, cal-maryland, and the illinois game… i’ll definitely watch the elite 8 and probably most of the sweet 16. how bout you?

i've watched some, but i got distracted during some of the tourney
I ended up watching a taped Blazer game instead of NCAA one night…but i’ve seen a few. The Siena game that was really close….the VCU game where Eric Maynor almost won it…..a Pitt game….wasn’t that impressed with Dejuan Blair….saw UCONN….hmm couple other games.
Overall i think North carolina looks like the sure fire favorite. my bracket is ok, but not great.
will prolly watch most of the rest of the games from here on out, but doesn’t look like a lot of nba-level talent right now, so hard to get too interested.
Tweet me!
yeah i need to watch the next Pitt game and see what all the fuss is about with Dejuan....
Pitt is still in it, right?

yeh, they're a 1 seed
they still in….blair to me basically looks like a polished zach randolph. He’s too overweight to make it in the NBA unless he makes significant changes to his bod.

definitely don't want another Z-Bo...
