It felt like we were discussing basketball with a distinguished gentleman with Pheonix Stan

Perhaps with a bit of greying at his temples, ala Reed Richards.

But this Seth dude… his hair is all greasy, his keyboard stained orange from cheeto fingers, and he keeps posting requests for someone to get him a fake ID so he can go to a bar that weekend. Not cool.

Yes…it was a grow up moment. They SO could have lost that game. Just because they don’t have the health and depth to win the series (provided they don’t win the series) doesn’t mean the Blazers didn’t make strides in finding out what the playoffs are about.

No, I guess not. Just seems to me that if they’d really grown up, they wouldn’t have suffered another complete beatdown in the next game. I dunno.

by jksnake99 on Apr 28, 2010 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

They're grown up

but limping. To me it’s a like a guy with no legs climbing a mountain. He’s probably not going to make it this time. He’ll have a great stretch and then slip down. But he’s achieving something just being there. This team got its first road win, its first Game 1 win, its first completely under-manned save-from-disaster win…and it’s doing all of this on nothing but guts. Take those same guts and that same preparation, add in Portland’s normal talent, and I believe you have something. I would not have said the same had they gone down in 5 after winning Game 1 though.

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 10:17 PM PDT up reply actions   1 recs

It will be seen as a major "grow up moment" AND a cool step to the Game 7 win...

I thought you meant it that way and I liked it better.

The game 6 gutty win will still be special, even after the fantabulous Game 7 win. [what/ that’s a word in spellcheck?]

It seems like a good idea to rotate highly trained and specialized doctors and trainers every few weeks

they don’t just show these to fans, they talk about it to their community.

it’s a highly polished piece of work. a lot of production value it seems.

let me clarify…the content of the DVD which was about 60 minutes long, showed their workouts/practice, regimen, what they look at etc….the guy next to me basically reeled off exactly the contents in it.

so the content wasn’t fresh…well, you know what i mean. it’s just a bad sign

Unless someone wants him bad right now for some reason, it is the worst possible time to trade him ever.

Wait and see if he can become Rudy again… a bad sophomore year or a year where a player was just hurt and depressed and useless and then recovers isn’t that rare.

Rudy was pretty good his rookie year, and bad in a year where he was constantly hurt and apparently lost his flow and confidence— which can be easily explained by the injuries. Even if it is all mental, it is still just one season that followed a good season.

I think Sergio is and was mostly fools gold. A ball dominating PG who got assists and didn’t do a lot else. His PER was good this year.

Exactly

But, the funny thing is he’s do a lot better with the Knicks or even, cough, the Suns … which is ironic because of who we’re playing in the playoffs and they bought his draft rights from the Suns. I watched the Eurobasket over the summer and he was a rock star with that team … I’m not saying Nate is a bad coach but just not the right coach for Rudy. Although, I’m sure the injuries not only to himself but the rest of the team, Nate having to adjust the rotations have had a lot to do with it too. I so remember when Miller was signed thinking he and Rudy were going to be doing a lot of alley-oops and that’s just never happened. I was just surprised that Nate hasn’t integrated a lot of what Rudy could already do and tried to add to that … just seems like more of a lost year for him alhough I wouldn’t argue he does need to try a bit harder.

Yeah. Or as in “ever becoming Blazers”. They are old unsigned second round picks. The only use is maybe as a throw in because sometimes you have to give up something to get a pick or similar asset. The Knicks and Rockets last year traded the rights to the French center who got dunked on by Vince Carter for the son of Patrick Ewing. Neither plays in the NBA as of now.

About Oden...

I read the transcript from his radio appearance and two things stood out:

1- that he watched the game from his home

2- that when asked about how the team’s spirit was after the game 5 loss that he claimed he had not talked to any of the players.

  Is distancing himself from the team a normal thing for a player out for 1/2 a season to do, or is this something to worry about? I get that his focus should be on his health #1, but it would be nice if he were more involved, even though he is out.

by MadN on Apr 28, 2010 10:37 PM PDT reply actions  

Oden is

his own guy. One of the things we’re all going to have to live with regarding Greg is that he’s never going to seem as attached, enthusiastic, or emotionally invested as fans would like to see. Personally I couldn’t care less as long as he watches the paint like he did early this season.

My hunch is that he's talking about a different kind of "lawn"

There has been a lot of second guessing on the decision to allow Roy to play (mostly by the National media Barkley, Mark Stein, Bill Simmons etc..). What are your thoughts on Roy’s return and the possible risk to his long term health?

I would assume

that the Blazers and Roy have carefully thought this through and decided there is zero risk. But in general I was against bringing back Roy unless 100%. Not only is there a risk of compensatory injury but there’s a false reliance there.

yes, very true, Oak Hill is usually loaded...

however, they also play the #1 toughest schedule in all of high school basketball because they don’t play in a local division. They’re like the Notre Dame of hs basketball and play the best teams from all over the country. I remember reading that when Jennings was a senior they beat 15 teams who went on to win their state championships. The most talent does not mean the most Ws and it takes a great floor leader to win 70+ games in a row against the best of the best.

Fair enough.

Still, I’m much less impressed by that than winning at the college or high school levels, just because the team is likely more balanced (plus he probably wasn’t the primary floor leader for all 4 years).

I did see him at the Les Schwab once years ago. I always root for the local teams again Oak Hill, so I’m biased.

he only played 2 years at Oak Hill. Before that he was leading Compton Dominguez to the LA city championships as a freshman/sophomore and playing with arguably the greatest AAU team of all time with Kevin Love and Michael Beasley.

Haha, okay, okay, he was a great HS player, I concede.

Still, I don’t really factor in HS play once at the NBA level.

I think he’s a good NBA player, hopefully he can become a more efficient scorer then. But the Bucks’ success has most to do with Andrew Bogut, imo.

the really sad thing

is that the only reason that I know a bit about Jennings is because I’m a lifetime University of Arizona fan. I’m with you, HS records mean nothing and I am VERY bitter that he did not come to Tucson to prove that he could have had the same success in college.

  Either way, what I really like about his game is that he is completely unselfish and a team-first player. He takes and makes big shots, but he’d rather dish out 15 assists than score 50. It’s rare to see that in a 20 year old these days.

Do you ever flag things and let the mods delete it?

Draft Coverage, Summer League, we’ll be doing more video analysis, we’ll have trade discussions…it’s actually going to be a more interesting summer than it would have been if the team was more settled. Rudy, Bayless, Webster are all going to be hot topics.

But the rest seems okay. You are allowed to like her.

The sad Hedo sideways eyes though… I see it in her.

Travis could help a bit with our scoring right now. He might be a target for the MLE. Blake can play up-tempo in NY next season as he always wanted to. Or in Miami.

by Norsktroll on Apr 28, 2010 11:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why would you want

yet another inconsistent guy with the MLE?

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 11:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Eggzactalee!

Inconsistent offense and consistent not good defense and passing. It’s just not the direction we wanna go in.

by Mortimer on Apr 28, 2010 11:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

I would prefer Childress. Or maybe Mike Miller. But I suppose one signs for more than the MLE and the other stays in Greece for one more year.

I miss Steve's ability to hit a shot when Roy or Bayless kick it out to him

I miss Outlaw’s personality

I’m glad their gone though. They got blamed for everything.

by tominhawaii on Apr 28, 2010 11:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

I personally would really like to see Outlaw back.

Blake, not so much. Some better offensive planning could probably ensure that Roy stops kicking it out to Miller.

Who would like us to get in the draft? As in guys who would be reasonably available, that is, since we’re all hoping John Wall drops to the 20-something’th pick

Oh he will fall.

Pondexter would look awfully good out there with his ability to create for himself a little bit and his defense is pretty solid.

If you had the choice of this season with Hedo with his stats from this year, and no injuries, or Miller and the season we’ve had, what would you choose?

by tominhawaii on Apr 28, 2010 11:47 PM PDT reply actions  

Hedo and no injuries

You’re basically asking if I’d take Hedo and Greg Oden, Joel Przybilla, half of Nicolas Batum, half of Rudy Fernandez, and a third of Brandon Roy for Andre Miller.

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Exactly

That’s how I’ve felt all season

Dave, what do you think of Jerryd's game?

I think Bayless has improved quite a bit from last year and has shown signs of toughness/effort in the playoffs. His attitude seems like a good piece to help build a strong team.

by Cablinasian on Apr 28, 2010 11:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes on all of that

Still question if he’s a fit, if he wants to be a fit, and whether we couldn’t get more long-term out of a purer PG plus a taller scoring guard off the bench. I love what J-Bay has done in this series though.

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 11:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

Of course, Phoenix is a team almost designed for him to do well against.

Not much interior D/shotblocking, Steve Nash defending him because ’Dre gets Dudley or Hill, lots of offense, etc.

I haven’t noticed much from him on D.

Still, I like JBay’s play this series as well.

Love the smarts. Love the offense in general plus the penetration and passing. Worried about defense, lack of outside shooting, ball control. I think in name value and general quality though you’d have to rank them quite high.

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 11:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agreed

If Andre comes back in shape early next year, we could start kicking some butt earlier. And maybe get blown by on defense earlier too, but that’s a work in progress.

Dave, there are already rumors of sign/trade Bosh for Bynum plus filler

Pretend it goes down. Does Portland have to make adjustments, or stick with the plan?

by Timmay! on Apr 28, 2010 11:55 PM PDT reply actions  

Portland doesn't adjust to the L*kers

Portland makes L.A. adjust to them. Stick with it. In fact you have less resistance to Oden then.

by Dave on Apr 28, 2010 11:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

If Oden can (Lord willing) be healthy

That means they have no one who can guard him. I would welcome that trade.

Would it leave no one in the West with Oden’s size? Suh-weet!

by Mortimer on Apr 29, 2010 12:01 AM PDT up reply actions  

Would rather have Oden defend Bynum than Gasol though...

Would be alot of work further out than he likes to go

Nicolas Batum AKA Mr. Third Quarter
On Josh Smith "He's strong as a 2nd curtain"
On Lebron "...it's hype, he's not a defender"
On Aaron Brooks "He's tiny, he has a small body but he's super fast and has a real gesture"
On Steve Nash "First we'll have to try and stop this Canadian guard, a young kid with a bright future!"
On Defense "They all piss me off with Dwight Howard...Guys like Bruce Bowen or Ron Artest were legit defensive men of the year. For me that's the profile of a denfender.
On The Playoffs "I don't want Dallas to win because I don't want Rodrigue to be NBA champion, I would be pissed. I don't want him to be NBA champion in his 1st year, this bastard....I put myself in mode asshole!"

by MadBlaze on Apr 29, 2010 2:52 AM PDT up reply actions  

Meh. I wouldn't be impressed on the L@kers' part.

They already have a fantastic PF and plenty of offense.

Plus, yeah, adjust?

Pau plays more.

I’m convinced he’s the best player on that team, easily.
