Gameday Open Thread: Celtics vs. Blazers

Kitten_tiny by Dave on in News

Here we go.  I said we were going to pull out at least one unexpected win in the next 10 days.  Are the Blazers going to make me look like a genius right away or do we have to wait?

Register every little game-related thought in your head quick just in case it's another stinker where everybody abandons ship two minutes into the second half.

--Dave (blazersub@yahoo.com)

P.S.  Don't forget it's a 3:00 Pacific start!

P.P.S.  For tons of fun check out sister-site GreenBandwagon.com

I went to the Boston sister site...
and looked at the Gameday Open Thread for their last game - they call it "Open Game Thread" - and I could not believe my eyes, only two (2) comments! What gives? I may have to look into that further.

I think I figured it out...
I did a user search and it only found 88 users.

One could make them feel better.
If someone went over there, gave them 89(!) users and 3(!) comments throughout the game! Of course, they wouldn't look to kindly at us if we went over and took over their site. It would be especially embarrassing to go gloat now if by some small chance we lost this game.

I went there and am back!
I grabbed a few things without being caught at it. That site is GREEN Man, really GREEN! It was like visiting the Emerald City. I was waiting for The Green Latern, to jump out and Zap me with his Ring O' Power, or something.

Here's a peek at the place;

Does it creep you out?

- they call it "Open Game Thread" - and I could not believe my eyes, only two (2) comments! What gives? - LaMarvelous
   Those two comments were by Jim (THE MODERATOR!). Poor Lonely Guy.

The other item of interest I swiped;

BRoy's comment after the last "C"'s Game:

"We've been playing to win lately, but tonight I think we just came in to give them a good game. The next time we play them we have to believe that we can actually beat them.'' - Brandon Roy

I Believe. "Get "R Done".

not only did they only have 2 open thread comments
but the diary where they traded for KG is the 4th one down the page

looks like the green bandwagon has been slow to fill back up after the last few years

by DominicanAvenger on Feb 24, 2008 2:54 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

I think
It is safe to say if we play like we have been for the past couple weeks we have  -7.93% chance at beating the celtics.
The scoreboard actually caught fire here once

by Sabonis4Ever on Feb 24, 2008 11:53 AM PST   0 recs

In the name of this comment
and in homage to our soon-star-center's fondness for Spongebob I officially declare this opposite day!

We now have a +7.93 chance of beating the Celtics!

But to make it work everyone must now say the OPPOSITE of what they are thinking.  (e.g. "How GOOD it is that Brandon missed another free throw!")  Let our comments henceforth reflect this proclamation!

All of my analytical prowess
tells me that we will win this game.  WIN, WIN, WIN!  Any reasonable person would see it that way.

We should NOT rely on our young legs and enthusiasm from, say, Lamarcus.  We need not show any heart.  We can beat them on cool talent alone.

I think Detroit
Has had enough losing for a while. The got blown out a couple times in a row. It is a testament to how veteran of a team they are that they can just forget that and wax the suns like they are.

Ripped from a reply to Tommy
It so belonged here, I just had to post it (without permission & ken may kick my butt)!

So... let's hear no more talk about youth, rookie walls, inexperience, etc..  NO MORE REALITY!  This team is the greatest team ever assembled and it's about time we recognize that fact.

After they win the NBA title, they are all going to don spiked shoes and gloves, form a baseball team, join the Major League and win the pennant.  On weekends they will individually win all the major golf and tennis tournaments.  The Stanley Cup is a foregone conclusion.  I'm particularly looking forward to the America's cup.

Still don't like
The Blake/Jack combo.

Far too much dribbling and not enough passing around the perimeter. Plus, they get killed on the defensive end by quicker guards.
