this is a depressing performance
I would love to see us step on some team’s throat. Just one team, one time. If not the Wizards then who?

To answer my question from the last thread...
Yes, it is… lol
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
How many points will the Wizards end with? Over/under is 59.5
I’ll say over, but I had to think about it. They might make 70.
"Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums." -Captain Kirk
definitely over
think about all the points that’ll happen in garbage time. Comically low turnout in the GDT tonight btw.

If they can get their offense going, they might beat the spread
My prediction is 55-60

I'm rooting for the Suns.
Suns easy schedule the rest of the way will make them impossible to catch I think, Utah has a difficult schedule down the line and quite a bit of road games so I think if anything we catch them not Phoenix.

either that or move up to fifth.

Fewer games for you to watch?
You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.
If they won't have home court that's what I want
either 4th or 8th. I just don’t want Utah or Dallas because they match up so badly.

I want them to get a higher seed and go deep in the playoffs, especially since Nash doesn’t have much time left and the team has made so many baffling decisions I have no idea what they’ll do this summer

Good point, they slay us in a tie breaker though.
if we win Sunday, we’ve got the tie breaker over PHX. And PHX is streaky, so I actually think we might get ahead of them. And Suns are my roommates(and best friend)’s second team, so I always root for them. Plus I still like Channing…

I mean the very next season.
Just weird. “We lost when I played, but look how great they are now that I’m gone!”

teams playing better without their star instead of taking a step back.

Does the Ewing theory normally apply to college bb?
Just thinking out loud. Normally when a big player leaves, the team gets worse in college.
It’s not a rule that applies to everyone leaving, it’s for when a player doesn’t elevate his teammates and instead they work to get him the ball and assume he’ll carry them.

Either and sport doesn't matter
The Giants winning the super bowl after Tiki Barber left is one of the best examples

it seems kinda silly to me to say the Giants played better because he was gone. Maybe their defense got better, Manning played better, etc. there are 24 positions in football.
Him and Shockey getting hurt helped them
Manning was always trying to figure out who he should throw the ball to instead of looking at who was open and reading the defense. Once their stars were gone he just played quarterback instead of managing egos.

In general the Ewing Theory just means they’re playing as a team instead of for one guy. Think when Z Bo left and a lot of national people thought we’d be worse at least that next year because he scored 25 points a game.

I didn't create it
Bill Simmons and someone else did and since then there’s been better examples, they just noticed his teams played better without him. After the Giants one the super bowl Simmons wanted to change it to the Tiki Theory but the other guy said no.

As opposed to getting out on the break (similar to his note below this)

weird thing is its been this way for three years
im hoping the probable early playoff exit this year will finally make enough people question it
then again it will probably be explained away by ‘injuries’ ignoring the fact this roster is pretty good

i have given up hope that we will ever put in an offense that generates easy baskets or maximizes player potential

Sometimes I feel it’s the high individual talent on the team making those shots fairly efficiently, not the offense. Actually, make that “often”.
right there with you

- Dirk van Boxtel, the wandering Celtic fan.
Twitter: @4Hoopz
this offense is just unwatchable.
no movement, no pressure on the defense, no imagination. if one on one players are on, and the outlets are hitting the kickout jumpers, our efficiency is good. but we just don’t generate easy looks, which are what you need when your shots aren’t falling

Roy
3 for 12 and all the plays continue to go through Roy. LA is also 3 for 12. The Blazers aren’t playing that poorly, Roy and Aldridge are unable to drop a shot, but we continue to run the offense through them. 1 shot so far for Batum.
we have no other choice
its not like we have any plays that involve moving people around the floor, trying to create cracks in the defense. it’s all about trying to create one on one opportunities, and feed off them.

we have Roy trying to take a guy off the dribble, or Aldridge on the unimaginative postup. That’s about it. or the ever popular high pick and pop.

Very true
We run an isolation offense. If Roy and LMA aren’t hitting our other option is doing isos for other players.

which means Bayless
we have no other players who can effectively iso.
most of our roster is made up of players who don’t create their own shots, only feed off of other. if our iso players aren’t on, we don’t have a “system” (like triangle or Utah’s pick and move) that generates easy looks.

sadly though
Rudy and Batum play so few minutes together. Rudy comes in for Batum in the 1st/3rd. When Batum comes back, Rudy is usually already out again.

Funny how when Nate asks for ball movement and running the floor...
The Blazers never seem to do it…Maybe they have tuned him out and Penn was a Nate guy and ( crossing fingers ) the Blazers will seriously look at the offensive jaugernaut that is Nate and replace him this summer

I think he's a good coach, but not right for leading them to a title
he was great when they were a young up and coming team, but stuff like the stagnant offense makes me think he can’t take them to the next level. His best asset is getting the team to play hard, but it’s looking like they’re tuning him out. He tells them to run and they don’t and after the game he always says they need more energy, but part of the coaches job is to get them to bring it.

Miller was supposed to be the final piece

He's had some good block from behind
but that one looked like he wasn’t in position. I think he figured he’d at least keep him from also scoring and the team is playing so badly right now it was worth the risk to ignite the crowd. If he did block that the RG would go nuts.

That was a nice play there.
Wizards got the ball where they wanted. One pump fake or extra pass would have been a score.

If Roy makes a last second shot here there will be no glory in it.

So far this year
Portland’s done well against crappy teams not named Golden State.

Wouldn't you call the home loss to Denver early in the season the bad home loss?
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 mean to a bad team.
Like losing to the Clippers last year.
Memphis might have been it, but they’re no longer bad enough to qualify.

I think that LMA should get the final shot
We have time to run a proper play and since Roy’s shot is off, we should play a pick and roll with either a Roy/LMA or Miller/LMA.
lol
In Bayless I trust.

great shot by Roy
but that was really our go to play? a forced lean in contested jumper is not exactly high percentage…

Love Roy's smile. so happy that he finally made one when it really counted.
you guys saying there’s no glory in that shot cause of his bad night are way off base.
Cake or Death?
Agreed.
Last time I checked, a last-second win against a bad team counts the same as a 31-point drubbing. At the end of the day, they both give you one victory.
That being said, we definitely can’t be playing like this given our upcoming schedule.
And now Nate can say isos are always the right option
Roy shouldn’t have even had to make this last shot. They let the Wiz back in.

Confirmed on replay
I thought he slid it at first, but on replay, he only pivoted the foot. Very crafty.
stiggy step through
step your bball knowedge game up son
Wow, what a nice finish.
No need for the confetti though. That was abysmal :x
Sorry for criticizing your team like this, but that offense was near Celticlike bad :p
Grats on the win though chaps. And thanks for having me around. You guys rock.
Cya around out there.

Yeh, I really look out for Blazer games I can catch.
Bit hard though. I’m not from Boston, I’m from Holland, Europe. In general this means I watch basketball from 2am to 7am at night. Being a basketballhead in the Netherlands isn’t exactly easy.
But yeh, I’ll be around.
Cya peeps.

Followed this game on ESPN gamecast + this thread.
Ridiculous way to win. BRoy’s just working on his game-winners resume.
You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.
Either that, or he has money on the Wizards...

You know you're a hardcore fan

None.
