Gameday Open Thread: Kings vs. Blazers

Feels good to be back home. This evening, the Portland Trail Blazers return to the Rose Garden to play the Sacramento Kings (7:10 tip-off). It's been a tough couple weeks for Portland, but it hasn't exactly been a walk in park for the Kings, either. Can Portland feed off the crowd and kick off the back-to-back-to-back stretch with a win?

Injury report: Gerald Wallace (sprained finger) will start tonight.

Both phones are outstanding

But moving between their interfaces can be an adjustment, if you use each others’ phones.

yeah

we have 2 weeks grace period to test them out and learn. Luckily my kids both have ipods so they have been really helpful with the iphone. Wife absolutely loves her phone.

Nexus, so far so good, had some trouble today playing music on my Nexus but I think I fixed it.

Nexus has ICS, that music player should be pretty nice.

I like Sacramento bcuz of Mac Dre

and because I have some good friends down there other than that its just another smog and gangster filled Cali city.

Sticking to the topic, im just not a fan of other teams announcers. I like Mike & Mike.

Man you know why i hate that stupid plus minus stat

Batum is at a +7 tied for highest on the team right now, shooting 0-1, 1 turnover and 2 rebounds… stupidest stat ever.

i thought the idea that it was a better indicator over a long span. on a night by night basis, it can be extremely wacky

It means little in small samples

Over the course of multiple games it’s an effective statistic.

Guys, is it my confirmation bias, or do our opponents (regardless of who) get far easier baskets than we do?

I mean, as an example, the first few minutes of the Orlando game where any Magic player could waltz into our lane unhindered, while we throw the ball around the perimeter hoping for an open 3 we then proceed to brick?

He's still putting up solid numbers

Except scoring. His FG% is terrible and his assist numbers ought to be higher.

But, as you know, Sacramento does not pass the ball as a rule.
