Gameday Open Thread: Suns vs. Blazers

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News Comment 446 comments

Shaq is back!  And he brought some new friends with him.  How do you think the guys from the Valley of the Sun will fare in the Drizzly Domain?  And how "up" are you for this game?  Is it still the same when the Suns come to town?

Register all of your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts right here.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S.  In case you missed it below, the Jersey Contest form for this game is right here.  I mistakenly left out one question so even though the points count for the March contest nobody can win an instant jersey for a perfect score tonight.  Apologies.

P.P.S. Be sure to check out the always-entertaining SBN sister-site BrightSideoftheSun for the Phoenix perspective.

Beautiful timing on the shaq trade...
I want the suns as confused and out of rythym as possible tonight.  What was Kerr thinking?
Rudy > MJ

by myemic23 on Mar 4, 2008 12:27 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

They'll sort themselves out some time
Don't let it be tonight.

Our big men should beat Shaq down the floor on many possessions.  If we push the ball up, that may be good for 4-5 easy baskets, which might make the difference.

I'm frequently right, but always certain

I think you're right...
if Portland doesn't run tonight, it's another "continuing to learn" game.

I want to see Joel
come out in the first quarter and shove the ball right into Shaq's face.

Shoots
BrightSideoftheSun had this quote about the Blazers: "They'll be waiting for the Suns with their "A"-game in hand."  From a past diary, someone pointed out that a player can bring his "A-game," and only give 90%.  I am concerned. I think the Blazers need to give at least 97% to win tonight.

We can beat them even if they play well
but we have to fight for the boards, they're rebounding very well laltely.
One problem is that I don't think our defense is good enough to force a lot turnovers out of Nash, he became a turnover machine but we'll probably give him a lot of freedom.

by Bruno on Mar 4, 2008 1:17 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Defensive Intensity
I think that JQuick's article might have hit on a nerve.  Hopefully, the players come out with some defensive INTENSITY.  I'd like to see either JJack or Blake foul out tonight.  Lets get physical with Nash and see how he likes it!!

**PS - this game isn't on KGW so we should be able to win.  

Go Blazers!

by TKEskippers on Mar 4, 2008 1:19 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Like the Warrior game...
This is another game where if we continue our decent play we got a chance to win, but if we play decent and still lose it isn't a bad sign.  Only if we look flat and lame for 48 minutes is a loss bad... even though we're on the road, we got a nice schedule this month and if we win a game against a team of this caliber it can really build some momentum.

Since this game is at home, and we got Roy and Jones, I like our chances.  It won't have the same emotions as when we play the Lakers, but the home crowd sell out should raise our intensity some.  I really think we can pull this game out, but it'll be tough.  We don't have the types to handle Nash well or make him pay on defense, nor the bigs to defeat both Shaq AND Amare.  Maybe one at a time, but both?  We can hope that Shaq fouls out in the first quarter or remembers he is 80 and karmic justice punishes him for being so rude to Sabonis and Sabonis' legacy when Sabas was old and broken.

If Shaq was more respectful to Arvydas, Shaq would still be a good player.  KARMA.

by hotstuffdb22 on Mar 4, 2008 2:26 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

If playoffs are going to happen
We have to win at least 17 of our last 22 games.  We more than 5 games left that will be tougher than this one.  For the playoffs this is a must win.

by tweener on Mar 4, 2008 3:33 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

No not.... really
It quite unlikely we finish the season 17-5.  Even if we do that.. Golden State & Denver would have to play .500 ball or worse for us to catch them.

I didn't want to waste a diary, either
http://www.journal-a-day.com/Sports/329023-great-nba-basketball-dunks.html

(Warning: a little bad language, in both senses of the word.)

Check out what happens when literal machine translation and the NBA collide! Choice phrases from the article:

"Steve Francis of the Houston Projectiles"
"Clyde Drexler, nicknamed 'Clyde the Semivowel' and Toronto Birds of prey star Vince Howard carter"
"These players employ their strength to dunk the ball with immense military force. They are the squad's 'big adult males'."
"Some of the NBA's famous power dunkers include Antonio Davis of the Toronto Birds of prey, Chris Webber of the Sacramento Male monarches, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Rasheed Wallace of the Portland Trail Sport coats."
"Jumping is another word form related with dunking, and the name most commonly referred [...] is that of the former NBA guard Potato Webb."

I propose that we rename Blazer's Edge to Sport Coat's Edge!

how can any true Trail Blazer fan not be pumped for this one? KJ alone provoked such animosity in my soul that will forever fuel the compulsion to will our team to victory every time we play these guys. Now yea, the Lakers top the list, but right behind is Phoenix.

Shouldn't we temper our loathing for other teams beyond that team we beat the other night?

The Blazers...
........................ are not only the worst fast-breaking team in the NBA, which is indisputable, but they are also among the worst at getting back on the fast break.

I'm not sure how you fix that. It's not something that comes up that often, but if that's an achilles heel (or and achilles leg-and-hindquarters, as in the Blazers' case), that sorta reduces your odds of playing with the Suns...

Is there a stat for allowing layins or uncontested dunks - cause we got to be setting records - forget needing scorers we need someone to play some defense......anybody.

Rice keeps saying Suns have had some practice and they look there best - jeez wonder if it has to do something with the team they are playing?

The 3 Pt. Shooters are passing out
In the bushes again
I'm glad I got my suit dry-cleaned
Before the riots started
Cuz there's only rehashed faces
On the Free Throw line tonight
Soon you'll be a figment
Of some infamous life
Billionaires smile like weapons
Passing out platinum pensions
They're out of control
No one knows how low they'll go
(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train
Those bra burning deportees
At the service station
They know that beige
Is the color of resignation
We're out of control
No one knows how low we'll go
(Hold on)
Take a ride on a broken train
Shining like crystal tiaras
Ghettoes are gray Rivera's
This is the real me ladies
You won't find a shelter here
Tell me, what's your zip code baby
Did you ever let a Blazer
Sit on your lap?

Okay, i know the problem
The ball is being denied because the hoop isn't feeling the love.  It needs to splurge a little and give the hoop some ice or something.  Maybe a poem and champaign.  If we all chip in during half time, I bet we could make this happen!

Oh, and it's not the stinking defense.  It's missing easy shots.

Yeah, Chuck called that...
......................... I was pretty pissed when he said the Blazers would be out of the money DURING THE STREAK, but he was really right about that. I think there is a lot of truth to the observation that winning teams do it in the paint, with power rebounding, driving the hoop, putting the ball back strong, fast breaking...

28 to 8 is the points in the paint margin for Phoenix tonight, which is almost exactly the game margin...

Yep
You really can't be considered a championship contender if you blow a 20 point lead to the 10th best (and youngest) team in the West. They did not play like veterans tonight.

third bad call
This one wasn't even the worse.  it looked like his left footmight not have beeen planted.
Team OK just has to say that we'll take the lead with no delay. We have the players to keep the pace and in the end we'll win the race.

Oh well, game over. Wonderful try, shafted by officials on that absolutely BOGUS blocking call.

to be fair
if we'd played well at the beginning and if we had finished at the end, it wouldn't have been up to the refs.

coachs new whipping boy
frye supplanted outlaw to earn this title. too bad coach cant figure out how to let Frye play his game, like he allowed him to do so well during the streak. Now its painfully obvious Coach has the choker set so tight on Frye that there's no way to remove it without a maul. Let Frye play his game. Coach has a back-up whippingboy in Sergio.

Good effort
loss goes on LaMarcus.

by jksnake99 on Mar 4, 2008 9:38 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

wrong
the loss is the entire teams failure to come out prepared to start the game... its 4 quarters not 2 halves

almost..
no matter, the team came together in the second HALF to give us a chance to win. Thats a great sign. The alternative would have been for the guys to call it a night early and deprive the fans of an exciting game. The Trail Blazers didnt win this game, but they didnt lose it either.

Seriously
Does the NBA just put crappy refs together? Sometimes we have really good sets and other times we have a bunch of moronic maroons.

Gimme give 1 Mo' chance
And then sorrow struck my heart
Tears began to stream down from my eyes
The only Team that I ever loved in whole my life
Out here in a place in a condition like this
And I began to thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little boy
She told me when I couldn't help myself, to get down on my knees and pray
Then I fell down on my knees
And these are the words that I said

(sung, both)
Save me save me save me Blazers,
Save me save me save me Blazers,
Whoa I don't know just how we made it
But I'm so glad our Game is here
But I'm so glad our Game is here
But I'm so glad our Game is here...

This game? No expectations of a win, and it was very entertaining.

And I got to see the Old Spice Body Wash commercial a couple times, small saving grace.

I'll see you all as well as the "real fans" next time around.

I thought for sure Obama could finally corner and finish her. WHY WON'T SHE DIE!

Hillary is a vampire...
....................... that it takes 3 wooden stakes to kill. Obama got 2 pegs in but couldn't get the third one in. Now she's pushing for a redo on Florida (big win for her there if she can muster it) and Michigan (toss up) -- which would pop stake #2 back out if she can pull it off...

I can't believe we came back
I thought we were toast at halftime.  I hate it when fans complain about the calls, but (I'm going to do it anyway) we had some very questionable calls go against us at the end of the game.  

Too bad we didn't take care of business with about 3 or 4 minutes to go...the Suns were giving us a chance.

by JasonT on Mar 4, 2008 9:49 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yup
some calls were just BAD, but we had the chance to pull away and we didn't.  Our fault for not finishing.

I'm surprised more people weren't fighters
and i was surprised as heck at how many rangers.  Makes me wonder if they're looking at 2.0 or 3.5 game play.

For those wondering... mage.  Don't need the power spells, just give me the simple spells and I guarantee I will frustrate the heck out a DM.

This Fight Tonight
Look out the left
captain said
The lights down there
that's where we'll land.
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vagas sands.
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down South between the trailer;
Not the early one
That you can wish upon;
Not the Northern one
That guides in the sailors.
Oh starbright
starbright
You've got the loving that I like
all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight.
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak.
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness
blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine.
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye baby
baby goodbye
Ooh
ooh
love is blind"
Up go the flaps
down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again.
"The Team with Caricature!"

how many times has kobe lost in portland?

by ghostface przybilla 2 days ago 12 comments | 20 recs

For the past years, my father and I have NEVER been on TV, not even close. We have such bad luck at games, we never win any of the cheap prizes (not even a chance, never come close) but our luck in the past 2 games have dramatically changed. Last time we got the game ball, this time we very creepily are in the back on national television. I'm just letting the 15 minutes of fame soak in. What will be next? I also apologize to Martell Webster for stealing his spotlight tonight ps... today is my birthday if you want to give me a nice birthday gift then rec this for fun. Going to the Lakers game tomorrow as well, great birthday present from my father (2 amazing blazer games in 3 days)!
