PrintA tired Blazers team got their lunch money stolen in the first half by the aggressive Detroit Pistons, leaving them with a 11 point deficit.
Can the Blazers muster up the energy to come back and finish the road trip at .500? Hang out here and discuss the second half. -- Tim

BLAAAAHHH.
I don't always root for an NBA franchise, but when I do, I prefer the Portland Trail Blazers.
I'd like to be optimistic, but....
the Blazers looked completely disinterested.

You can distill about 5 minutes of excitement.

Yeah one nice run and it's tied
Of course, one nice Pistons run and it gets ugly, so there’s less margin for error.

Detroit's offense will probably dry up long enough for us to make it a close game in the 4th
I don’t think they can keep this up forever
Its not their offense
it"s the Blazers D.

Starters don't look much better

Come on guys. Just go out and do what you're supposed to do in the 2nd half.
Stop this nonsense, it’s really infuriating.
6 games 9 days one day off and then back to back to back, the last is an away game.

Stuckey was shooting like 35% before this game lol
Letting him dunk off offensive boards all night has him looking pretty good. We need to shut down the paint and work through LMA on offense. If we do that this game is over early in the 4th.
I’m not gonna even watch our next 3 games… Wednesday is gonna be brutal.

Seriously, what the hell are we gonna do going forward?
We’re going to have the same exact team next year with maybe a marginal PG upgrade.. We’re going to keep making the playoffs and getting bounced in the first or second rounds for the foreseeable future.

The “foreseeable future” is not forseeable. Teams change so much from year to year. How many players are left from our roster three years ago?

Blazers are +7 in the Foul Category
This is the NBA, the refs will happily even that up before the end of the game if the Blazers come out aggressive.
Of course LMA has 1 rebound. He just has to keep that mediocre average. He'll end the night with 2 boards to keep him at his average
of around 8 boards.
I said last night
That he only did the 23 thing last night so he could coast the next few games and his average wouldn’t suffer…it was supposed to be a joke…

Sadly probably true.

was nice while it lasted
we should take that game ball away from him and make him re-earn it every game
To be fair, He's only played 13 minutes and Detroit is making shooting over 50% from the field
Plus we’re fouling, which means no possible missed shot to rebound.
Heres to hoping we come out hot!

Early in the year we were playing physical D and gettting lots of TO's....thus we won.
…Now every team shoots 55%+ against the blazers and we are lucky to break 40%
Why do the worst fast break teams in the league
have success running against us?
Do we even have a fast break point tonight?

I don't always root for an NBA franchise, but when I do, I prefer the Portland Trail Blazers.
Looking at the stats though and what stands out:
felton looks to be having a good game
LA is scoring alright, but 1 rebound? unacceptable
Batum gets the start but 4-12 shooting, doesn’t seem to be taking advantage of his start
Rhino gave some good bench minutes
is that about right?
Also, no defense

I really like Lawrence Frank.
I think he’s underrated, though Detroit’s start made me question that.
He kept 'em relevant I believe
He got canned when they lost their players and went on that huge losing streak to start the season, all while the players were yelling “don’t fire him!”
Yeah, he took over when Byron Scott got fired mid-season in 2004.
It’d be like if the Trail Blazers fired Nate McMillan and promoted Kaleb Canales out of nowhere.
"I Am Mine"
Yeah, Aldridge averaging so little rebounds semi-regular kind of looks bad.
I don’t watch the Timberwolves or Clippers games, do Griffin and Love get doubled as much as LaMarcus?
If they post deep.
but aldridge floats out more, leaving himself to get doubled
"(creative University of Oregon fan quote!)"
His season low is 7.

Also to some extent, they're zeroing on him after last night.

Is Aldridge's rebounding disparity these last 2 games...
the most in the history of the NBA fora player in 2 consecutive games?
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
Doubt it.
Wilt had 55 one game. If he had 32 the next game it’s still a greater disparity than what Aldridge is headed toward.

Basketball is totally mental at this level. There is something that happens where the team that is down plays harder. Also, the team
that is holding a lead will always score when you score. They won’t answer any of the buckets that choked the lead, but the second you get within 1 point they start scoring.

Batum with 2 bad bad plays.
Pass out of the open shot to the contested one with no time. Then not fouling the easy break.
Barium has been shooting bad all night. Wish Crash could have gone…

Stuckey is playing the Blazers
They have that effect on lots of players.
just tuned in to this paint drying fest.
any reason LMA has friggin 2 rebounds after having 23!?
Some are arguing regression to the mean,
but I’d argue aggressive Pistons rebounding, lesser rebounding attitude, and a reduced physical presence when he got called for two early fouls, one of which was a poor call as he went for a rebound.
I remember the days when ugly was our secret weapon
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
this games on LA
all those rebounds they got were his.
That was a nice move by Aldridge, but he should have gathered after he beat his man of that dribble move.
He really rushed it and it got swatted.

Remember when we had Brandon, and we'd score late in games but concede as well?
We are now the opposite.
Craig was a huge positive. Wish he'd passed the ball out instead of taking that jumper.
May have changed the game.

someone fire the blazer's shooting coach
although if our training/medical staff is any indicator, the poorer we shoot the higher his job security
The failure to make a three point shot and Crawford trying to take over the game killed
us, you can’t always blame defeat on the refs… it works both ways.
1 stop and a 3 for the tie?

Ditto. Their stats looked better than expected when working on the recap.
The Pistons came to play and the Blazer defense has been a little lazy.
Who takes the 3... Don't think I trust any of them to make it.
Crawford for 4! Epic but no dice.
felton.... um.... um..... mathews? hes been horrible but so has everyone else
seems like mathews not afraid of the 3… but this is why we got craw right?

Anyone else tired of this moron’s sloppy play? Why was/is everyone so high on this guy…he is more out of control than Bayless was with the basketball…

tired of this garbage
really felton turnovers and come on nate take crawford out of the game dude gets called for carrying then miss two buckets in a row…. at least it was nice to see smith step it up and where did batum go after scoring 10 points in the first half? these inconstant are why they will never be better then they are
I can imagine that roster adjustments will
be done after this horrible road trip. If something doesn’t happen, blame the coaching staff on that. One cannot keep the same line up and carry on throughout the season like everything is fine.
Ray is the goat?
How about Batum making dumb plays, shooting bad. What about Wes having a bad game. What about Prince doing the splits for the ball to be kicked.

by SGT Lenny on Jan 21, 2012 7:12 PM PST via mobile reply actions
not his first rodeo
he plays out of control, turns the ball over way to much and is probably the last person on the team I want with the ball in his hands dribbling or shooting when the game is tight and there are a few ticks left on the clock.
If it was his first, I wouldn’t be a big deal, but the dude is out of control; not exactly the ideal trait of a starting PG I would think nor expect anyone to defend.
We might lose some guys for a couple consistent shooters real soon
The offense hums along when someone is hitting from the perimeter. We look like crap when the defense is packed in and we still need to force the ball into LMA to try and salvage some offense. No mistake though…had LMA been getting calls we would have beat Detroit.
Basically our guards are failing epically. Kurt, Craig, LMA, Camby…all doing a pretty solid job. We$, Jamal and Ray not getting the job done consistently enough. Same with Crash and Nico too lately.
Swap some guys for someone that can shoot and suddenly we’re a pretty decent team. Suddenly Aldridge becomes near unstoppable against 24 out of 30 teams.
