It's gonna be ugly

Planting a seed
Oden needs to look at Jack N., smug there in his dark glasses, and want to spoil his day -- want to make him flip out like in The Shining (minus the ax).
Oden needs to want this ... because 365 days from now, I wanna see Oden walk away from a game like this with 8 blocks, 7 assists, 22 rebounds and 24 points. Give him two or three steals too.

Geesh...
The way I look at it, at least in part we are not playing with our All-Star guard because he was dedicated enough to play in "two" All-Star games while nursing an injury. Kobe respected the fans and the league by sitting out. Doesn't that put the Karmic advantage clearly in The Blazers column?
Go Blazers! Win one for Roy, and Win one for Pride. There is a history here. Can't afford to give up before the ball is even tossed up!

Couple Thoughts
That being said I'm not too down on tonight's game. One good thing is that Bynum is still out, and even though Gasol is 7-foot he is not a huge physical presence in the post. Does anyone remember when we beat the Lakers toward the end of the season 2 years ago, during the most dismal year I can ever remember as a Blazers fan? Steve Blake (during his first go-round with us) played some great man D on Kobe. Let's hope he and Martell can at least slow him down a little bit tonight.

I want a great game
LMA needs to be alpha today. Webster needs to show Kobe that he stole some of Kobe's mojo when Kobe gave Martell his shoes when Marty was a rookie. Outlaw needs to twist and turn and leap and hit his standard impossible shots. We need to get these loser Laker fans out of the game (which isn't hard), and Pau dreaming about his mama's homemade tostadas and nachos and chalupas (obligatory Mexican food/Spanish player joke now fulfilled). Kobe will remember he's KOBE BRYANT not some team first JOKER and try to get his scoring average up-- but not before being confronted with the ivory arm of defense, STEVE BLAKE! Try to score past the Tyrant of the Terrapins now, Kobe-- or should I say FLO-BE? Because you cut your hair with a vacuum! Ahhhh burn! I win!
Just play hard and see what happens. Ride this win with a thrashing of the Clippers and get Roy back for a sold out Friday night raucous home game against the Lakers again.
It'll be fun!

by ratbastird on Feb 26, 2008 4:24 PM PST 0 recs
I dunno
Just yesterday, I read somewhere that Kobe studies martial arts. If true, that's an interesting tidbit. Just in case there are any Blazer fans out there who believe those Kobe chops (like the one that injured Ginobli last year) are actually accidental.

I like Von Wafer as the new Kobe-stopper though.
Hopefully Kobe will fall down and become severely injured before it's all through,

Just want to pop by and wish you guys luck-
Mind you, if you make the 8th seed, we'll be forced to kick your arses. :)
Good luck, I'm expecting a tight game! Nice blog you guys run here, keep it up!

A laker fan being nice
They don't take us seriously enough to hate us back! How rude!
Anyway, you have yourself a nice team too. I expect you'll be a barrier (again) for the next few years before our guys start to peak. I thought we'd do it in the next three (not including this year), but it may be four if the lakers are still clicking.
Then... yeah. We'll be stomping for a while.

I have a good feeling about this game
Do you ever have that feeling where you don't know if it's a fart or a turd, but you just let it rip anyway?
That's how I feel about this game. The Blazers just need to let one rip, and we'll see how things turn out in the end.
