Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Gameday Open Thread 1:  6:00-6:30

Here's the open thread for the first half hour of the game.  New threads will roll out every half hour.  Migrate up as they appear.

As always with game threads:

  • No swearing no matter what...refs, loss, refs' loss...keep it clean.
  • No pictures.
  • No blatant trolling.

 I had a hard time deciding which shirt to go with today.  I eliminated red because both teams use it and sometimes the basketball gods have trouble with logos.  White was out because that's the home color and we're on the road.  I have a nice black Drexler, but his loyalty is in question.  I have a KP but I thought he might be taking the long-term approach when we need a short-term win.  I finally went with Oden.  Good choice?  Time will tell.

Last question...

…and then all of my basketball knowledge is complete.

Do teams/individual players get better between Oct – May or July – Sept?

I phrased that poorly but hopefully you understand what I mean.

by TrentEdwardsHoF2018 on Apr 26, 2009 6:03 PM PDT reply actions  

that depend

on the player and what they need. Do they need time on the court? Or do they need to tune up something in the off season?

So generally...

Young players get better during the season.

Experienced players get better in the offseason.

by TrentEdwardsHoF2018 on Apr 26, 2009 6:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

IMHO, teams get better during the regular season

But individual players can improve at any point. That’s a more a matter of commitment.

by conspirator5 on Apr 26, 2009 6:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

Here is where I was getting at...

Can Greg Oden improve significantly this summer or is he going to pick up where he left off?

I know no one has a crystal ball but what can we expect?

Tip-Off Note

Everybody needs to understand this. This game is about two things:

1. Control. The playoffs are about style and talent, but when teams are closely matched whoever enforces their will comes out ahead. The Blazers have not controlled a single game yet, not even the one they won. Portland will not win this series unless they dictate the action on the court and confound Houston instead of letting them play with confidence.

2. You don’t have the luxury of going with what you’re comfortable with or would prefer. The Blazers would feel better against Houston if the games were in the 100’s. Too bad. If this game is 87-86 you have to make sure you’re the 87 no matter what. 50 points, 90 points, 110 points…whatever it is, whatever this game goes like, you win it. NOTHING takes it away from you tonight.

Go B-Roy. Go LMA. Go Rudy and Oden.

Go Blazers.

good start guys

LMA needn’t have bought that Artest pump fake— just stay in front of him.

Beautiful stop under the basket....

Artest bail out… (gag, puke…) well, maybe RA will decide he is “hot”… pays dividends later…

Well, Ron Artest is going crazy.

Portland can’t box out down low, though.

WHY DOESN'T PORTLAND HAVE A THIRD-STRING CENTER?!?

I’ve been venting about this all season, but there’s still some anger bottled up inside me over it.

If I see Channing Frye enter this game, I’ll vomit.

Houston adjusted during the last timeout

Portland didn’t.

Let’s see how this timeout goes.

by Timmay! on Apr 26, 2009 6:30 PM PDT reply actions  

no he didn't

Oden has to be stronger and more decisive with the ball.

by jksnake99 on Apr 26, 2009 6:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

don't disagree with that

but it was a foul. slapped him right on the arm. watched it 3 times on the DVR

How did you guys win that?

pathetic, simply pathetic

great start, and we throw it all away.

hmmm

that looked like a reach on the 7’6" big man

by cloudydays on Apr 26, 2009 6:31 PM PDT reply actions  

yao isnt going to get called

for slapping oden on the arm, oden would have had the dunk

by Yawnie on Apr 26, 2009 6:31 PM PDT reply actions  

from the angle i saw

on ilp, when yao reached oden could have rolled to the hoop for a layup or dunk.

or a scola flop

by Yawnie on Apr 26, 2009 6:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

go to the hole

It looks like the only way we are going to any calls is to be aggressive and get to the freakin hole

I'm so sick of these refs

I thought the playoffs were supposed to allow for more physical play. They’re calling everything on anyone who touches Yao.

Our reffing time will come

Wait untill we’re just a little older

what!?

I doubt that’s the answer…they need better talent. If only Oden wasn’t such a bust.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
