The key is the Raptor's announcers chatting about Haiti again.
Blazers were on fire during that segment.

offensive scheme
Broy’s a great player and I’m glad he’s back, but the rest of the Blazers play worse when he’s on the floor. Too much of the offense is give the ball to Broy and let him work. That’s a bad offensive scheme. Before Broy came in at the end of the 2nd quarter the ball was moving and everyone was an offensive threat – then Brandon came in. There is still a lot of talent on the Blazers, but we end up a one-dimensional or on occasion a two-dimensional team (Aldridge). The thing is, this even makes scoring harder for Roy; he has to force shots over defenders because everyone knows where the ball is going.

I couldn't agree more.
The offense stagnates sometimes because he needs the ball for a long time to be effective – not really a catch-and-shoot dude.
He’s a great player though.
Still
there is a sense that the other players defer to him and look to get him the ball no matter what. I don’t think the offense flows smoothly through him. When he’s on, it’s good he gets the ball, but the other players do a lot of standing around.
Offense
You’re doing it wrong!

I disagree with this
When he’s at his sharpest, Roy doesn’t need the ball long to be effective. He catches the ball, at which point he’ll immediately shoot, drive, pass or post. He puts pressure on his defense the whole time.
Only the last couple games his decision-making has been a bit slow and deferential, which allows the defense to adjust and smother us. I think part of this is rust.
Although as Cabby says, there is more than a small element of schematic weakness there.
The key is
“when he’s at his sharpest.” That’s cool, but what happens when he’s off? He still “demands” the ball so it’s hard for other dudes to pick up the slack.
true
but he’s got to be at his sharpest for us to succeed in the playoffs, so I wouldn’t worry too much about his poor form hurting the team.
I'm not really disagreeing with you.
Portland/Nate seems set on running a certain offense no matter who’s on. If Roy’s on, get him the ball every time down, but if he’s not, use him as a decoy.
wait who rec'd this?

he is good, but is bad for the team
so we shouldn’t trade him, just not play him.
that solves everything!

agreed and rec'd
the Utah game was pure evidence of that. The team turns into Roy watching and they lose all their confidence.

nice to see the Blazer not wait till the 4th to give up a big lead.
maybe now they’ll hang on since they’ll feel the urgency.
Rudy musta read Ben’s article today….
It'll give them time to regain the lead
against Boston they gave it up too late and couldn’t get going in overtime. Against the Nets they gave it up earlier but there was still a point with a few minutes left if they got a few stops they could have won. Now even if they get the lead there’s still tons of time for us to ebb and flow back.

There was one possession where they were fronting him and he didn’t get the ball, then the next time down he got it in the post, held it, then passed without making a move. He either got discouraged from the first play or after he caught it started overthinking or whatever makes him pass without attacking in the 2nd half.

Middle school kids can shoot that well so why
not NBA dudes?
Of course, NBA dudes take hard fouls. It would be tough to shoot free throws after getting Shaq-attacked.
Most middle school kids don't shoot 80% from the line
Besides, it’s different in front of a big crowd while tired.
College kids are much worse at FT shooting on the whole than NBA players are, and while that sounds obvious… shooting 80%~ as a team is real good.

The best way to judge it is rebounding percentage. LMA is not a strong rebounder but he’s got a better percentage than ever.

Dirk is a good defensive rebounder

"I want to put points on your face." - Rudy Fernandez
Aldridge with another weak shot. Doesn't he understand he is not a good jump shooter, and the team
wants him to shoot that. It’s a weak shot. When you’re suppose to be a post up play, jump shots are for weak powerforwards.
is this were portland stops attacking on offense or is it still too early?

missed jumpers = long rebounds
Miller: 6 boards
Bayless + Roy, 4 each.
And he’s been tentative and wimpy.
If the rebounds are going to the perimeter shouldn't LMA be in position?

No, he goes by LA in person.
In text, that is confusing. LMA looks nicer, is clearer, and sounds better than LNA.
Calling him LA is fine if ya like, and if ya wanna LNA is your choice… I think LNA looks mad ugly though.

N is his middle initial.
M isn’t an initial. it’s just a letter in his name. just cause it’s a capital letter, doesn’t mean it’s an initial (that’s for DS).

i’ve never heard anyone but bedgers call him that. as far as i know, his nickname is actually just LA.

For some reason they like calling him LA
especially Rebecca. I don’t like it because of the l*kers. LMA is easier to type but when I’m speaking I just say his name, but it’s still too long to type right now.

Only on replay to save face. Now he somewhat acknowledges it. He’s still a homer, but he’s mellowed for sure.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Well
We all survived a game while wearing the 70’s jerseys.

13 losses on road, 13 at home. crazy! and most of our 4th quarter meltdowns have all been at home.
is this team somehow better on the road? less pressure? more focused? more together/us against the world?

no time available
with rudy playing well, he has to get a good chunk of minutes at the 3. that doesn’t leave many left over for Martell. Heck, Nicolas only got 19

Seattle Prep is reporting
that Martell is unhappy with his minutes and is considering going back to high school

Just like Dre responded after his explosion with Nate
Rudy responded after his article.

So tomorrow we hear Martell complain about playing time?
Seems like the best way to get a bump in your minutes.
In the past year+, it worked for Sergio, Miller, Bayless, and Rudy.
It works everytime
It’s funny.
Oh well… Rudy is a versatile player with some key weaknesses, but when he’s helping us he can really help us.

HOU and NOH losses would go a long way.
I’m doing good, thanks for asking.

Jack vs Miller
JJ=18pt, 8 A, 2 reb, 3 TO
AM=18pt, 10 A, 7 reb, 3 st, 0 to
nicely done

Wooot Wooot!!

just noticed
how poor LMA played tonight, damn
"I want to put points on your face." - Rudy Fernandez
I kind of feel Roy played a crappy game today. It is quite remarkable how he can have 0 rebounds in the last 5 minutes,
but then manages to get his 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
He can get the 5 assists and 5 rebounds in the few minutes and then not get anymore. It’s very strange.
im assuming "the few minutes" means a short span of minutes

And it was nice to see Rudy blend well with the starters at the end of the game to seal it

Yes, the plus/minus in one game NEVER EVER lies. It’s always completely accurate. Huge sample size.

As "an" ice princess there Mordechai
"In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him."
Bayless played well
Millers performance goes under the radar
Roy did good given that the Raps spent a whole practice figuring out how to stop him
LMA was meh, but so was Bargs.
We needed Camby tonight, especially with the rebounds
oh and Mortimer is a noob
im out peace
Odenized
Rudy should play with...
Brandon more. And I tried to tell everyone that before tonights game..http://bit.ly/bAyp2F
you feeling better S.O?

Yep, there just are not enough minutes in a game for everybody to get what they need.

I would be focusing on getting Rudy and Batum minutes (unless I'm trading Rudy obviously)
if that means Jerryd and Martell get screwed, so be it. Its time to pick some guys (hopefully the right ones, defined as the ones I think are best) and stick with them instead of doing Nate’s specialty, jerking them around and killing their confidence.
Free AK1984
i agree with this
If you add Martell’s 8 and Batum’s 19, you have exactly the correct PT for a solid bench player. No need to split that.
A lot of coaches jerk players around.
It’s not really Nate’s specialty.
Batum brings the doom.
by The Running Man on Feb 24, 2010 6:47 PM PST up reply actions
the key is to give them no choice
If one of Denver’s rotation players gets hurt, Karl’s choices are Anthony Carter and Malik Allen.
He really has no choice but to stick with JR Smith or Ty Lawson or Birdman.
its no accident that Nate's most impressive coaching results have come in his "no choice" situations
Free AK1984
That might be true.
Batum brings the doom.
by The Running Man on Feb 24, 2010 6:52 PM PST up reply actions
it's true, though I think this is one of the harder elements of coaching
We all want to “freeze out” Martell right now, but if Rudy reverts to his form over the last 3 weeks, we’d all want him back. The key is to have someone who can fill those supporting roles but acknowledges his limitations and doesn’t need further development—then they just have to be happy sitting on the bench.
Unfortunately, the coach’s incentives are all geared toward instant gratification, while the GM is working towards building something larger. So while management sees Rudy as a guy that needs to see a bunch of floor time, Nate says “I can’t afford that—I need to win.” The incentives are a mess.
couldn't agree more
pick your guys, and put your confidence in them. don’t jerk them around if they have a bad stint. go right back to them.

Who would you rather face in the playoffs?
I would rather face the Spurs
Bring the bling to Rip City, Natch'
Trade John Canzano!
highly unlikely we would face either
so it’s all about seeding. if you think we will only pass one of them, root for the Thunder. If you want to pass both, root for the Spurs

Rudy?
I didn’t see the game, but from the look of the box score maybe rudy could be finding his groove.
Let's hold off on high praise for Rudy
until he strings a few of these solid games together. He had some ticky tac fouls but offensively, he was in a rhythm. Hope to see him keep it up.

And boy did it pay off!
