This is the tough game, they are rested, they are motivated, and they have (this kills me to say this) very good players. The next game they will be on a back to back and they might have clinched home court throughout the playoffs by then.

Lets win this game because this is our chance to get them at full strength (Bynum and Oden are both out) no excuses.

Everyone that is going to the game tomorrow night...

MAKE IT LOUD.

If you haven’t been to a Blazers vs Fakers game before you need to be prepared. There will be an abnormally high volume of people wearing Purple and Gold. A winning record and a winning history have created a lot of bandwagoners over the years and they will spend their entire months income to watch the Fakers play. Be careful when interacting with these people because many of them are criminals.

Most importantly BE LOUD. This is playoff atmosphere, if your ears aren’t ringing after the game then you must have brought ear plugs. If your voice isn’t gone after the game then you must have a set of lungs like Storm Large.

I wish I could be you, I was unable to get tickets for todays game but I will be at the Faker game in April. Have fun and be safe at the game tomorrow everybody.

I have to say this somewhere

Denver lost to Sacramento and is now behind us in the standings, at 7th.

Them dropping that game gives me a LOT of hope, they are 3-7 in their last ten, and we need them to drop games like that. In the meantime, Utah has a very, very tough schedule, including lots of road games for a bad road team. We could still very well make a push for one of those top seeds.

Ok, that said, BEAT LA! It’s a whole different ballgame tonight.

We have beat them whenwe were worse, butthey were also worse—except last year, when after the Gasol trade they were playing exceptionally well, and went 27-9 the rest of the season—with, of course, two of those losses being in Portland.

Doesn’t matter how well either of us is playing, it is always intense, and both teams are far better than they have been in any of the previous matchups in recent years. This one should be fun—they just have to bring the D like they did against SA, and not allow themselves to get frustrated on offense, again, like against SA.

Portland fans and heckling

One of my main beefs w/Portland fans… we don’t know how to heckle properly. I always hear the typical “hey you suck” or some sign in the crowd that a mom made for the kid… where’s the creativity— my latest heckle (which was alcohol induced I must add) was for the one and only #1 worst official in the NBA Zach Zarba (Violet Palmer is a very close 2nd) “get off your knees ref, you’re blowing the game,” which got the crowd around me up on their feet and trying out their own variations. Tonight with the rapist….errrr Kobe…. in the house we should have plenty of ammunition to try and expand our hateful vernacular and scratch the proverbial surface of Philly-style heckling. What do you say Portland?

We’re 26-5 at home — third-best in the whole NBA and second behind the l*kers in the West. Obviously our inability to heckle “properly” isn’t impeding our ability to help the Blazers win games at home. So how about we express our disdain for the l*kers and their hated captain with lustful, non-profane booing…rather than with comments that would make any parent with a child and within earshot cringe.

Actually, getting under the skin of arguably the best player in the league isn't wise

I detest Kobe Bryant with a passion—but I recognize the fact that he’s an incredible basketball player. Guys like Kobe Bryant cruise thru much of the regular season.

Definitely winnable

In the last month, the l*kers have only won two games against good teams (N.O. on Feb 20 and Cleveland on Feb 8). For the most part they are winning against weaker teams. In that same stretch they’ve lost to Utah, Denver (badly), and Phoenix.

LA feels they have something to prove against us. You might even say they are embarrassed at the recent losses here. That’s an interesting predicament. It means LA will be aggressive and dangerous. But it also means we’re in their heads a little.

If Portland hits early and often, and plays defense like they mean it, there is no reason the big bad l*kers walk out with anything other than a loss.

It's hard to go against a four year home winning streak isn't it?

I agree on the last point though. The only reason it would be really important to win tonight is because Denver lost last night and plays Houston tonight so we could gain some distance from them. But Wednesday’s game against Dallas is more of a must win for us I think.

But seriously though, for pretty humans like myself, a beard is simply like a peacock’s feathers—just a little something extra to say, “Hey. So I noticed you checking me out. Whadya think of the beard?”

Really though, us beardophiles aren’t all ugly. Just ask our moms. Some of us are gainfully employed, mildly handsome individuals who simply don’t like shaving.

The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance
And Id be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

And we will be so happy in my ape man world

Ill keep you warm and youll keep me sane

Do you own the Predator DVD? They show what the monster originally looked like, and the footage they shot for it. It is incredibly goofy looking, it’s awesome.

Daniel-San gets fired from his gas station attendant position and finds out about a 40 and over karate tournament down at the Y. He figures this will get him back with either Ali, or that chick from Okinawa who dumped him after the first two movies respectively.

Hearing that Miyagi is no longer available (RIP), he decides to go recruit the old Korean guy running the convenience store down the street. Despite his profuse denial of ever having been involved in any martial arts, he agrees to train Daniel-San for a fee of $20.

They proceed to sneak into the 24-Hour Fitness nearby for grueling weekly sessions of 5 minutes on the treadmill and 10 reps of 50 on the bench press, followed by a few hours down at the local pub.

Daniel-San gets beaten in the first round by a leg sweep. He then sneaks backstage, steals the trophy, runs away to Mexico with it and is never heard from again.

We make this game such a big deal, when LA is just approaching it like a tough game.

Well, okay, I live in LA and it’s a bigger game to any Laker fan than I can think of because we’re their soon-to-be equals and rivals, but it’s nowhere near how we get about this game.

One way it is different, even though they had this game circled on their mental game calendars for months now, is that all my Laker friends LIKE the Blazers, because we’re cool and young and awesome. We, obviously, hate the Lakers. If the hate isn’t reciprocal within a year or so, we ain’t doing sumthin’ right (or at least NERVOUS hatred, since that isn’t enough time for us to thwart any Laker dreams).

Laker fans are nervous about this game, and curious to see what happens. They got #1 locked up though, and it’s soooo much more important to us.

And I don’t want it to be more important to us.

A week ago I would of said this was a game the Blazer didn't need to win.....

But now with Denver losing last night (to Sacra-frickin’-mento!!) and falling a half game behind the Blazers and Utah being only up a half game (Utah is bound to lose sometime!!!), the Blazers really need this win. Maybe with the weather being so bad today (rain, snow, sun — will it make up it’s mind!!) it will cause a little stiffness of joints in the Lakers (hey, I can hope!). Go Blazers!

I understand ya

And with pretty much anything, I agree. I hate Kobe, he’s weird and a poseur who no one in the NBA likes because he’s a weird poseur.

BUT… the rape stuff kinda goes too far. Wherever the line is, that’s on the other side of it in this sort of situation. That’s like those fans making fun of Steve Kerr’s dad dying, taunting Kerr pre-game, back when Kerr was in college.

Yeah, Kobe is the enemy, and I can’t stand the Lakers. They are evil. But that’s as long as we’re in fun fun sports entertainment land. The rape stuff brings it back to the real world, and is a pretty extreme thing to yell at someone in “fun”.

I fully endorse and support yelling most anything and everything at Kobe, Sasha, Phil Jackson, whoever ya want. Just make it hurtful and/or funny, and not involving rape. Throws everything off, and makes us the bad guys.

I really hope there is not a “rapist” chant tonight. I won’t be surprised if there is. Portland fans are cool, and doing that… just isn’t cool.

It’s both old and classless, which are never a good combo.

I’d rather we made up new felonies he’s accused of instead of harping on old ones. I heard from a friend that Kobe ran over a hobo the other night, and just kept on driving even though he knew he hit someone. Kobe even circled the block to “accidentally” hit the same hobo, just because he’s Kobe.

Then he stole a dirigible and crashed it into a daycare. KOBE MUST BE STOPPED.

Now THAT would be Epic

In tonights news, an as of yet unnamed Portland Trail Blazer fan attending a basketball game against the Los Angeles L*kers at the Rose Gardon last night , jumped over the rail and landed on top of K*be Briant. Both K*be and his apparent attacker suffered minor injuries from the incident, leaving K*be unable to preform. Reports suggest that many of the witnesses claim the man let out a primal roar, similar to a that of a lion……

Q: Do you feel the city of Portland still wants you?

A: I know this team does, the organization does. Everybody else, I don't worry about that. We worry about our family right here (in the locker room). I know I got their back and I know they're behind me.

I hate to be all realistic

But I fear we are in for a long night. For us to win:
Sergio needs to have a fantastic game with as close to zero turnovers as he can get.
Rudy has to hit better than 50% from 3pt land
Brandon has to get calls
and someone on the second unit has to out hustle Ariza.

I fear once B Roy sits down, the Lakers make a run and hold a 10 pt lead that will see saw all night, but survive none the less.

Golly Gee, I sure hope I didn't huwt anybody's feewings.... sniff...sniff....

My main worry

Is rebounding. Unless guys like Outlaw hit the boards hard tonight we could be in for some serious trouble. Odom is especially scary.

Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.

Whether Sergio has 3 turnovers or 0, it doesn't matter

He doesn’t affect the game THAT much, to be the reason we win or lose. He’s just out there soaking up minutes.

Roy does need to get calls, and likely will at home, and LMA needs to come up big to counter Gasol’s production. Most importantly, Blake needs to be ON and we need to REBOUND. If Blake is missing his wide open 3’s, life becomes tougher for everyone else even if Rudy is on fire, because Rudy can’t play as the PG next to Roy.

Rebound, and hit the open shots we USUALLY hit, and we win.

The rest are superfluous additions.

It should be a nice game… the two best offenses in the NBA go head to head, and our defense is usually better for these sort of games (especially at home). It’ll need to be plenty sharp, and I figure it will be. This is that sort of game we seem to win.

We also need to bring 110%.

Ideally while stepping up down the stretch. You forgot that, but the rest of your points are good.

Now THAT'S a good one

I love when “this young team is playing like they have nothing to lose!” turns into “and this inexperienced team is showing its youth now, Doug” (e.g., Warriors two years ago in the playoffs).

People are too hard on announcers generally though. I’ve tried play-by-playing games in my living room with the TV muted and it’s hard as heck. I don’t think anybody could talk for 2 1/2 straight hours, more or less, and not say something that makes them sound like a nincompoop.

by BlazersOrBust on Mar 9, 2009 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Is 110% even possible anymore?

We tried that against the Celtics and the NBA said we can’t do that anymore.

by MiledAnimal on Mar 9, 2009 5:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well

I’m tired of being told what to do by The Man. If I were the Blazers, I would kick the NBA in the stomach, give it my foolproof finishing move that nobody kicks out of, give them two middle fingers, then pour beer all over myself while everybody cheered. And you can bet that they’ll be doing it with 110%.

The Hornets just lost to Atlanta, in Atlanta

that is a tough place to win… They play small though, so we match up pretty well with them.

that's going to be a big game

If we win, it sets us up for a 3-2 or even 4-1 road trip. We lose, and we have to battle for a 2-3 trip. We need to get at least the Memphis game and either Indy or Milwaukee.

Denver has by far an easier closing schedule than Houston, so I like our chances of beating out Houston more than our chances of beating out Denver. Then again, Denver is in our division…

we want Denver to collapse. With their fragile headcases, a losing streak could do them in.

Houston’s tough schedule will hurt them enough for us to possibly overtake them. Denver collapsing would do us a lot of good.
