Here's your thread for your pre-game and first half discussion of tonight's contest. How hard will Portland have to work to find a way to lose this game? And how much wailing and gnashing of teeth will we see if they do? Discuss the ins and outs and all of the action right here.

Go Blazers!
That seemed obligatory.

Five days since the last game.
And there’s not yet enough wooting in here.

It's been so long everyone has forgotten
it’s like when Principal Skinner instituted a dress code and Nelson forgot how to “Haw Haw.” The lone woot is equivalent to his “Haw…Ho?”

Go blazers!
win, and save my bracket too!
KENNY WHEATON IS GONNA SCORE! KENNY WHEATON IS GONNA SCORE!!
I'm here, but probably not for long.
It’s the EST back here, which makes 10:00 PM – 12:30 AM a short night of sleep.
That, and I have a tough time watching the game and commenting at the same time. But it’s been five days! I might stay up anyways.

Nope.
Internship is done, so just one more year in Indiana. Actually, I find out where I’m going on April 28th. And should be installed there early July. Hope it’s close enough where I can at least justify coming to a few home games.

You go to the craziest places!
I went to two games when I was in Portland over the holidays, including the X-Mas day one. It was fun. Met a bunch of Bedgers too, including Tom, Corvid, Dougall, BRP, S4E, Sophia, 92wastheyear, GreatOden’sRaven… geez, lotsa people. I am likely forgetting someone like a rude jerk.
I hadn’t been to a game at the Rose Garden in a while at that point. Just seeing Blazers at Clippers games.
#52
Just got tickets for the last Clips game
18th row for 35$
Ooh, when is it?
I ain’t checked yet. This stage in the season is an awesome time to get reaaaaally nice Clippers tickets. Did you get them from Stubhub? The Clippers got their own version of Stubhub, but whenever I’ve gotten tickets Stubhub had the better deals…
#52
We had a small meet-up at that Irish bar on Couch st
The one that’s one stop away from the Rose Garden? O’Bannons? I forget what it’s called.
Oh, and this was that really awful lost against Philly, not the X-Mas day game. That loss was stupid.

I actually have respect for The Birdman.
He plays hard for sure. Denver is full of thugs though so it was good to see Portland put the smack down. I was sitting about five rows from the court and could hear the players talkin’ all sorts of mess.
I'm glad he turned his life around.
I have no basketball skills myself so I always root for the effort dudes.
I would deny this accusation.
If it were untrue.

it's so hard to stay up during the week, but it's friday and it's been so long since we've had a game.
I have a feeling you might stay up once you see the Blazers play good ball.
#52
I'll be here during the game
Between the NCAAs, it being a Friday, the Blazers will win unless they don’t show up or something goes wrong and 30 Minute Meals about to start (that last one may only apply to me) there’s lots to distract and cut down on the pregame chatter. I’m looking forward to seeing what the 2nd half thread’s poll question is since when it should be a blowout Dave gives us a good one. Against the Pacers it was a Star Trek vs Wars vs Galactica that started a great nerd debate.

5th team in the west beating 8th in the east isn't a shocker
The Raps will likely have a losing record and finish worse record than the Rockets and Grizz, so we’ll get some more debates about just letting the top 16 teams in. Since the Blazers aren’t going to finish 41-41 (that’s right, I boldly predict they’ll win at least one more game) I can be impartial and suddenly don’t care as much, but I still think they should let another west team in if a team from the east is below .500

By the grace of god
I managed to shimmy my way out of a sticky situation ( dinner with my significant others parents ) and yes, I’m fully aware this may come back to haunt me but it’s already been to long and I can’t miss this game. That being said, GO BLAZERS!

Spurs score 77 in a half.
The Warriors play no defense. They’re as useless to us as Toronto.

Spurs regularly don't score that much for a game.
That’s ridonkulous.

Maggette play D on Aldridge
I don’t know if they have some secret of court feud but for whatever reason his switch gets turned on against us. They need a team hypnotist to make each player think they’re always playing against one of the teams he tries against and they’d win 60 games.

I only just now realized this thread is also for the first half
I went to BE’s main page and was wondering why at 7:02 the first half thread wasn’t up. For some reason I thought this was one of those where the pregame was a separate one.
"Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums." -Captain Kirk
I'd like him to attack early and set the tone
He’s been doing that lately so unless he figures it’s a game to let others get established he should attack the rim, especially after this extra rest for his hammy.

At least we'd have plenty of time to come back
The Wiz are a team good at nothing right now, and even though their best player is putting up numbers, he isn’t dangerous. He kinda gets them by default.
We better win, dammit.
#52
haha, seriously.
If we lose tonight it’s going to mess with the players’ heads, and the our heads. Can’t come out playing down to their level.
Cake or Death?
Their goal for the last 13 games
should be coming out to fast starts. After all, that is what killed them in the playoffs last season.

It seems to happen for every team with a long-ish layoff
I hate them during an important stretch of the season.

Layoffs are always tough.
Rust is fairly typical. Their energy should appear in the third quarter when Washington tires.
Like seeing LNA go towards the basket
I was blinded to that by sick alley-oops and facials
not to mention Greg crotchifyin’ suckas
He missed two fts and then a shot
so I hope he doesn’t get discouraged. Sometimes if he has a few bad possessions inside he starts taking jumpers.

Yep.

It’s the straight Blazer Broadcasting feed. Pretty sure Mort has seen the same feeds.
so I'm watching the same guys as you on Comcast, and the last two games were on either comcast or KGW

Make sure to call and complain to Blazer Broadcasting
They don’t need to be the cause, to get the wheels in motion to fix it. I presume someone has told them, but you never know.
I thought Blazers Broadcasting were in charge of producing the show and the feed then went to the channel that broadcasts the game
Is that not how it works? Cause this same problem has been happening with only Blazer games on my cable (no other shows have done this) and now on multiple channels

They produce the show and transmit it
On the national level, there have been no issues with the retransmitted feed. (Two games on League Pass, the third was used by NBA TV)
In the Portland area, there seems to be a problem with the feed.
My guess is something is happening in the Portland area with the feed, but nobody has apparently bothered to investigate as far as I can tell.
I wonder if it is only the HD feed, are you guys watching in HD?

Last Sunday's NBA TV game was on NBA TV HD
It was a retransmitted copy with Mike and Mike on commentary, with no issues.
The other two have indeed been in SD.
I had a similar glitch for a second on the cable system LP too
Assumed it was a problem on my box. Good to know.
yeah it's been ridiculous.
I’ll be furious if it’s happening during the playoffs, or if it ever happens with a last second shot.

That's why teams like NJ will "sell" 10,000
then you watch the game and there can’t even be half that. Always use whatever stat makes you look better, as Mike Rice teaches us.

Whenever they go inside they're drawing fouls
Please keep attacking and don’t go into jumper mode. LMA, Roy and now Old Man River have all drawn fouls taking it inside.

That’s what I was talking about. He used to reach a lot, but he would also be too aggressive with his feet and get out of position. With the hand check rule the only way to defend guys is to move your feet and stay in front, you can’t body people up and shut them down anymore.

I can't remember if it was last game or the one before
but in the 1st half Rudy was passing great, then in the 2nd half Nate had Bayless handle the ball with the 2nd unit and ran Rudy off picks.

I liked how Singleton seemed to purposely not dive for the ball
pretending “oh dude the Blazers knocked that out, I’m not trying for it”
The ref had nothing of that.

Considering how bad Portland is sucking tonight, any lead is a good lead.

They wanna win the John Wall lotto!
Blazers win!
"(Andre Miller) got a steal of a Brandon Rush pass in the backcourt and with a clear path to the hoop looked like he was actually going to dunk it with those 64-year-old legs. I believe that in true Darryl Dawkins fashion he was going to dub it the Miller-Time Pop-Top Rammin' Jammin' That's-For-TiH-and-his-Spammin' Thunderdawg Special. Unfortunately it got blocked. He did get to go to the line off the play at least. So he settled for calling the free throws "TiH Cheap Shots"." - Dave after a 102-79 beatdown of the Indiana Pacers
I think they're playing for a change of cities
