We owe the Griz two whuppings
But I’ll take one.

At least GO sitll has potential
Thabeet was, from the sound of it, hardly impressive in his first D-League game.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Either way
I like the kid but #2 in the draft, no thanks.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don't think Thabeet will be ANYTHING special
But he’s likely be too harshly judged since he was never ‘sposed to do ANYTHING this season. he’s as much a project as projects can get.

not wanting to set up size jokes he still has a good skill set on offense.

They don't really play similar
Pick a skinny, soft, non-physical defensive center for a Thabeet comparison.

That was a throughly disgusitng effort
By both teams.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Dave was right
4 Blazer turnovers, 7 Memphis points.
Stop that and we win.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I think this has so much to do with our record this year.
And of course the injuries. But so many times we just look as if we’re in a complete funk when we are playing teams, and it’s obvious we’re playing down.
That's been true for us for a long time
We used to lose to this team when they were in Vancouver once or twice a year and we were very good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
based on these teams records this year and Memphis being at home
this game is basically a tossup. We should expect to be playing at roughly their level.

That was literally my first thought
And really, I’ve seen Deiner play, he isn’t awful. Just a very mediocre PG.
Dickau ain’t a PG and really sucks, so it’s a win for us.
#52
And hey, for a 15th man, that's purty good!
I didn’t even realize he was waived. Hope his injuries don’t still bug him.
Of course if we’re playing our 15th man, we got other probs.
#52
It’s actually not a bad sign if you can say your players 12-15 are “mediocre”. That should be the case in a good rotation, provided you also have some real stars.
Dickau helped us more than Diener will
he raised the self esteem of every white guy with shaggy hair in the northwest by making them feel like they could step onto a nba court and shoot 3s.

Asking about Claver is reasonable with a Spanish fan I think.

Long story short
Griz were hella physical and didn’t get called for fouls. Blazers got called for fouls when they were trailing cutters along the baseline.

since i can only see the boxscore...
it’s hard to tell what to think. than i see Fast Break Points Memphis = 9 in one quarter and i feel confident we’re lucky to only be down 6.
can’t see this going well if that continues.
Mostly we were playing sloppy
Not that were playing great.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
sloppy is somewhat ok...
not getting back on D against Memphis = death
unless that’s what you mean by sloppy or is it TO’s leading to break outs?

Juwan playing ahead of Dante
is like Rudy playing ahead of Brandon. Why was Nic pulled so quick also!
To summarize: Wade too quick, Kobe too skilled, LeBron too physical - Batum
It's endearing how the Blazers give bad teams hope and confidence in themselves.
Look at how we can do layup drills against a .500 team!
The worst scene was them passing the ball happily all around the perimeter for 20 seconds with nobody getting near the ball, then getting the rebound off the miss
That and the 15 gazillion dunks
Almost nobody can guard him.
I know everyone is down on LMA’s defense, but Zach is torching everyone.
FAIL NATE
Cunningam: 5pts, 2-2FG, 1reb in 3:27 and a +3.
Howard: 2pts, 1-4FG, 1reb in 12:07 and a -12.
He was having trouble with Randolph.
Not that Juwan was doing any better. But Nate completely refuses to double team anyone.
Life is hilarious.
he got lost on one play
and got benched IMMEDIATELY after it.
AND WHO CARES about that one play if Dante brought all the effort while Howard was lackadaisical?!!!
Howard isn't lackadaisical
He just cant keep up.

But in nights like this, Dante NEEDS to be playing more. Sure, Z-Bo did have a good seal and open dunk on him but Howard wasn’t doing any better..
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
I sure how that they will play better than this on Wednesday in the RG...

They're currently extending him on a year-to-year basis
If he’s not renewed, he’s a lame duck. That would be very interesting.
maybe batum can mind control the rockets into firing rick adelman

Rick Adelman is not the greatest coach in the world
Though he is better than Nate.

Rick Adelman, with this roster.
Would be uber scary. For everyone else in the league, of course.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Should I throw names out?
I mean you gotta look at the ones who are unemployed or assisting right now.

Mike Rice Jr. might not be a bad choice
He’s done a great job with Robert Morris University— made the NCAA tournament last year.
Firmly in favor of making a coaching change at the end of the season.

Nate's system
If you find some thing that works,stop doing it. If someone is playing well,take them out..Its so easy a caveman could do
