Email
PrintHere's your spot to discuss the lead-up to the all-important Game 5 between Houston and Portland. There's no wiggle room left for the Blazers. Will it be a grand effort extending the season or the Blazers' last hurrah for the year?
Remember as in all Gameday Threads:
- No swearing
- No pictures
- No blatant trolling
- Keep on topic once the game starts
Good luck to the Blazers and to us all.

It's blacked out anyways
I thought they’d at least not black out playoff games.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
I'm going to take a page out of the Sheed Wallace book.
I guarantee we win game 5 tonight, and as another Wallace put it “this ain’t over by a damn site.”
What now??
I’ll tell you what now…we’re gonna get greg and joel to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me hillbilly boys? We’re gonna get medieval on your azz!!
Game 5 a lock.
I really can’t see the Blazers losing tonight. Game six is when the butterflies in the stomach will start to stir.
Maybe basketball just isn't your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest.
This game is nowhere near a lock

Blazers got this game...
game six will be good, game seven will be the epic one. Keep the faith everyone, this is far from over. This is the day when we get to see how much these Blazers want it. This is where we see how much of an all-star roy can be, and who else is going to be the one to step up and “be the man” tonight. This is the first time these Blazers have faced elimination, and I think they will respond well, if you look at the end of the regular season when they were feeling the pressure to get seeding (i.e. win or lose home court) they took control. They will do that again tonight, in game six, and in game seven. No more what ifs, the Blazers are winning this, with or without the refs on our side.
by oregonsportsaddict on Apr 28, 2009 3:26 PM PDT reply actions
How I see the game panning out...
I think we will come out strong, get hit with early fouls (go figure), be down a few at the half, come out REALLY strong in the third to build a lead, then (with the crowd behind us) protect said lead in the fourth and seal the win. On to game 6!!!

I'm feeling ok on my perspective at this point
If they lose, they lose. I’d have preferred a round 2 or 3 exist (ie. no houston in the first round), but the experience and evaluation needs have been considerably helped at this point.
It’s likely they’ll point back to this playoff series as a turning point for years to come.
This playoffs definitely feels like some kind of a rite of passage for the Blazers
Houston and the refs made sure of that

The Blazers owe me this win
I’ve stayed overnight too many times this season to see an end tonight.
I shouldn’t stay tonight, but I missed the last 2 games because I went on a trip to a family event.
And thursday is a holiday, I can watch games on thursday and saturday (ok, I have a date on saturday, but I’d manage some way to watch the game).
This is not the way this season ends! It can’t be!

to see a coach sit at the podium after a game, whip out a check book, fill out a check, tear it out, hold it up and then say, “Now that that’s ready, let me get something off my chest…” and then just rip into the refs. I think that would be awesome.

Billy Ray Bates agrees
via wikipedia via beyond bowie interview
After picking Bates up at the Portland airport, then-Blazer trainer Ron Culp advised Billy Ray not to carry large amounts of cash around, but rather to open up a checking account so that he could pay bills with checks. Bates had a quizzical expression on his face, Culp recalled, and finally worked up the nerve to ask, “What are checks?”

For example, my wife kind of knows the team against her will. And she likes Brandon and Greg. But, by far, her favorite player is Joel. When we went to the playoff games, she actually yelled and cheered for him.

He had a transition year this season and it hurt him. I think he’ll actually bounce back next season.
PHX should just send him to NY and get it overwith though.
He's so bad turning it over and defending
Rondo and Harris are both really great defenders… Nash is so, so bad on that end.

Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
Very true.
Up until now, Nash added enough offensive value to make up for it. I’m curious if he’ll ever get back over that line again.
in the right system
I think he should go to a 2003 Sabas role, adding veteran savvy off the bench and not playing in back to backs.

Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
CP3, Parker, Deron, Rondo, Harris in that order, I think.
Deron’s turns it over more than Tony, so I give the Frenchie the edge.

I know everybody loves Rondo
But I look at that list, and all I think is “one of these things is not like the others…”
Well old Nash I mean.
The sad part is, I’m not immediately thinking of any other PG’s to place in there.
I put Harris at 5.
Though I’m not sure he knows how to lead a winning team as of yet.

That's why I say that outside
the top 5, you just want a game manager. because there’s a pretty big dropoff after that top 5 I think. Billups is just on the outside. And it seems Nash is up for debate.
by DrivetheLane on Apr 28, 2009 4:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I'd probably place Billups over Rondo.
As noted above, I think Nash’s bad year isn’t a general decline and that he’ll recover next year.
Call me crazy, but replace Billups with Rondo, and I think Denver’s in the #7 slot.
Replace Rondo with Billups, and they’d be ranked the same, but handling Garnett’s injury better.
I dunno
Rondo has had some crazy, crazy games in the playoffs, along with incredible defense.
Also, Nash’s turnover rate has always been bad; it’s that his defense, assist%, rebounding, and shooting efficiency have fallen over the last few eyars.

Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
Yeah I'm not ruling out the possibility that Nash is kaput
Nash is such a rare animal in the NBA though: He actually seems to make his teammates better by getting them in position to succeed. CP3 has that in his genes too… Put them on an average team, and that team will excel.
It’s possible that Deron, Rajon, and Billups fall on that list too. It’s just so hard to tell with their current teams though.
I like what everyone has been saying...
but Bayless is at the 6 or 7 position no?

Wikipedia:
Albert became the focus of a media frenzy in 1997, when he slapped a prostitute. He went on trial for felony charges of forcible sodomy, which involved alleged repeated biting. The woman who accused him was a 42-year-old who had had a 10-year sexual relationship with him that including phone sex and threesomes involving other male parties. There was also an instance of Albert dressing in women’s underwear.6 This woman accused Albert of throwing her on a bed at the Ritz-Carlton in Pentagon City, Virginia, biting her on the back 15 times, sodomizing her, forcing her to perform oral sex on him, forcing her to open her mouth so he would be able to let his gases enter her mouth,[citation needed] and engaging in periods of facesitting as long as 35 minutes.[citation needed] Albert charged that the woman was seeking revenge as he was ending their relationship. After DNA tests proved that the bite marks were his, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery charges, while the sodomy charge was dropped. However, the woman still claims that Albert defecated on her face in the bathroom of a New York City McDonalds.78 Albert was given a 12-month suspended sentence and ordered to continue undergoing counseling.6 His antics have spawned an online following of people who want the act of facesitting and face defecating, to be more mainstream.

More info:
Q: Do DNA tests link sportscaster Marv Albert to the alleged sexual assault of a Virginia woman?
A: Yesss!
Here’s a police lab report, filed this week in the Arlington County Circuit Court, detailing how genetic evidence ties the NBC broadcaster to a February encounter in an Arlington hotel room. Laboratory tests matched an Albert blood sample with semen recovered from the victim’s clothes and her chest. Other genetic material, recovered from a bite mark on the woman’s back, also matched Albert’s DNA profile. Albert, who denies any wrongdoing, is scheduled to face trial September 22 on sodomy and assault charges. Please note that while we never alter documents on our site, we have deleted the name of the victim of this alleged sexual attack from this report. Thanks to Allison Bowles, The Smoking Gun’s northern Virginia bureau chief, for tracking down this document. (6 pages)

New strategy for Przybilla, inspired by Joakim Noah
The pump fake free throw! Joel does his dribbles, goes up for the shot, but fakes it! The Rockets jump into the lane, the Blazers stay on the line, then Joel shoots for real. If he makes it, awesome! If he misses, he gets another try because of the line violation. Granted, it would only work once, but still!

Only if it isn't part of your "normal" free throw shooting motion
Larry Johnson would bring the ball into the shooting position, stop, and then restart the motion. Players would often violate the lane, but because Larry did it all of the time, they didn’t call him on the fake out.
Anyone else remember Chris Dudley's hitch free throw?
I used to love that.

LeBron James scolds mom during Cavs-Celtics game
By J.E. Skeets
In the second quarter of tonight’s Cavaliers-Celtics game, LeBron James, on a breakaway dunk, was wrapped up by Paul Pierce. The two players became tangled and stumbled their way under the basket near where LeBron’s mother sits. Gloria James, being the firecracker that she is, started yelling at Pierce for the hard foul on her son. Here’s the video with LeBron’s classic reaction — keep an eye on the woman in the white shirt:
Yup. That’s LeBron telling his mother to “sit your (butt) down!” Happy Day-After Mother’s Day, mom!

There's still a fair amount of switching
Houston’s repeatedly used picks to set up LMA on Brooks, etc due to switching.
The Blazers are definitely are working harder to fight through though.
I think people are just distracted with other stuff right now.
(Overall, their D does look improved. But they’re repeatedly prepping for the same team, so it may not be relevant)
yeah
there is switching in every NBA game. I just feel like I’ve seen less Oden guarding Brooks then we would have in February.

Unlike Andre Miller, Kirk Hinrich can drain it from beyond the arc and defend three positions.
Miller also needs to have the ball in his hands to be effective — as he scores mainly from driving to the basket on isolation plays — which might not mesh well next to Brandon Roy; thus, I’m strictly on the Hinrich bandwagon.
I am as well
his shooting and defense have been excellent this postseason.
draft dejuan blair
Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
You are correct, sir.
Andre Miller is also substantially older and slower than Kirk Hinrich, which makes a difference.
Miller likes to run break and could clash with McMillan
and he doesn’t play defense or shoot like Hinrich. I’d say he’s a poor fit.
draft dejuan blair
Yao Ming: "Over time, [Oden] can even go beyond the Magic’s Howard."
Pelton: "Always love Hinrich’s D. Nobody on the Blazers (or most teams) gets into people like he does."
Besides, Andre Miller also works really well within the Philadelphia 76ers offense.
The 76ers need to acquire a sharp-shooting wing player to play next to Andre Iguodala, however, since the team’s percentages from downtown are a weakness.
For example, a free-agent signing of Wally Szczerbiak would go a long way in fixing that — as he could camp out in the corner and receive passes from Iguodala and Miller in dribble-drive kickouts — in turn, that’d allow Willie Green and Louis Williams to come off of the bench as backcourt gunners.
I know you're a big Kirk fan...
but for the sake of argument, say Kirk has a great playoff run, and the Bulls decide to keep him.
Best alternative?

I don’t get to see as many non-Blazer games as I like. But when I’ve seen Cleveland play, I’m often thinking “wow, no team gets away with this”. Especially when it was in Cleveland.
no kidding
Cleveland gets every single call.

MSNBC has a story on the clutch shooters in the NBA.
They asked scouts, personnel execs, coaches, etc. From the article…
THE BEST … player to take the final shot
1. Kobe Bryant, SG, Lakers
2. Dwyane Wade, SG, Heat
3. LeBron James, SF, Cavaliers
4. Paul Pierce, SF, Celtics
5. Brandon Roy, SG, Trail Blazers
Oden was #5 on rookies most likely to make an impact
I agree too, his impact on defense has been underrated outside of Portland during this series.
When he could play.
Kobe is overrated on clutch shooters...
He does, however, get his team so far ahead it doesn’t come down to the last shot much.

Gordon with a stupid shot
But it goes in. Marbury passes up the open 3 for some reason?
Rondo had a nearly uncontested higher percentage shot.
Stephon Marbury went with the less risky. Ronod just couldn’t finish.

Why did he get dumped from Chicago?
I don’t remember. They won a few less games one season, but were advancing nicely in the playoffs, making improvements each season
I'd have to do some more research to verify
but him and Jordan butted heads a lot during that time. That rift seems to have been mended, because Jordan hired Collins to coach him in Washington, but I think that was a major reason for it.

This has been great playoff experience for the young players, and for the vets to gell together. If this Bulls team stays intact, they have a great veteran bench and young players who produce. Just need a new coach.

I have no desire to employ a defensively inept ball hog on the Portland Trail Blazers, particularly ...
since this squad already is horrible enough with regards to its putrid perimeter defense.
Besides, the Trail Blazers already have one ball hog on its roster, Travis Outlaw, so acquiring another would make my head explode.
i seem to remember him missing an imporant free throw earlier in the series
i could be wrong though….can’t remember the exact play

Goodbye Deke. The NBA will miss Mt. Mutombo.
Why do people want to call it a flagrant?
This NBA needs to quit becoming a wussified league.
Unless it’s a blatantly hard foul — such as that of Trevor Ariza on Rudy Fernandez — then it shouldn’t be a flagrant.
No play on the ball, swiping at the head, seems like a flagrant foul to me
