Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

Are we looking at our offense all wrong?

Whenever we talk about PGs and Portland, what criteria do we throw out? Good 3 pt shooter, great off the ball. ..why? Because we've played give the ball to Roy and pray for the last few years? I ask this because I thought Roy was actually pretty good off the ball in the all star game. Granted there's no defense, but when paired with a star ball handler, Roy still managed to do pretty well. So why are we limiting our search (and our style of play)? And why in the world are we courting Hedo when we should be looking at the 1?

our offense will have to change a lot

if we get Hedo.
I hope Nate is up to the task.

It is the same joke we tried to play on Rudy.

(yes I know he is a rookie and is not payed 10mil)

Let Rudy chase 1's around the court.

Play Hedo as the 1 on offense. It is really unconventional but it is the only thing i see that could possibly save PT for Rudy.

This would say of course, that JB or Blake would have to go to create minutes at the 1.

Ugh, all this talk of team chemestry to land a moderate free agent upgrade? As soon as Channing leaves all the Portland Mojo goes with him. Gah.

if we don't upgrade the PG position via trade...

our end-of-the-game lineup will be solid:
BRoy, Rudy, Hedo, LA, GO…three playmakers and two offensive rebounding monsters!

no prob.

Even if you subtract Rudy and put Point Guard from Over the Rainbow in there, it’s still a pretty cool situation to be in.

What’s with the the negative vibes, Moriarty? I don’t get it. Let’s see what happens after Game 15. – Elgin

Without you out there, we're nowhere here

Rudy isn't threatening to leave over Turk

but in KP I will trust until he proves otherwise.

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.
