Jaynes: If the Blazers lose to GS...sh!t hits the fan

Golden State is fucking pathetic and we should not lose to them. Period. Half of their squad is NBDL players.

 

i will say 1 thing...

we beat this same team in portalnd without....

Batum, Outalw, Camby, Blake, Rudy.

 

You always say that. No matter what month of the season we are in and no matter who we are playing.

Hey! Can you play "Lady in Red" for me dude?

 

Gotta love fans moaning about losing a game we haven't even played yet.

 

Not sure what is up with Roy injury wise, but I agree the Blazers need to win tonight and if they don't, injuries can no longer be an excuse.

 

Not sure where I was moaning. There was a debate about whether or not this is a game we should win or not.


I guess this means no one should talk about the draft before it happens? Or the season before it happens? Or the playoffs before they happen? Why do we have a prediction game for a game that hasn't been played yet? Or have threads about the upcoming schedule because we haven't played those games yet?

 

That is no debate sorry man

 

That doesn't make it right. I have seen Golden State play a lot this season, and they are a very bad team. There is no excuse for letting that happen. So, lets hope it doesn't happen, and the streak ends. But it's not like Anthony Morrow hasn't had career nights against us before when folks refused to guard him on the perimeter, and that is just fucking sad.

 

We agree. There is no debate on whether we should or not. We simply should, no questions asked.

 

If Jaynes is guilty of anything, it's (over)stating the obvious. If the Blazers give an honest effort, they are about 90% likely to win.

 

The entire spirit of the thread is moaning about not beating GS.

 

I'll take a dishonest effort. As long as somebody finally plays with effort!

 

Exactly. Jaynes is making a big deal out of something that is likely not to happen.

In fact couldn't have Jaynes wrote a similar article when the Blazedrs played the Kings. I think he choose this game to do it because he knows there is more of an upset potential in this game (Blazers against a team they don't play well on the road).

 

Rudy, the solution is simple: go outside and walk around your beige clapboard apartment complex in Bristol, CT.

 

The problem isn't that we're cursed in Oakland or that we don't play well there. The problem is that Don Nelson owns Nate. He's so unpredicable, Nate can't crack him. When you combine that fact with the Warriors playing much better at home than the road, especially when that crowd gets going, and you have a tough game.

Crazy Donnie + High energy play = Warrior dominance over the Blazers at Oracle.

All that being said, I expect us to win tonight.

 

Exactamundo! See the problem with Nate, as I have seen it all through the years, is Nate is a matchup coach. He will matchup with other coaches, even if it is to our detriment to do so. Don Nelson knows his players strengths is small ball. He also knows Nate is match up coach, much like Avory Johnson who he owned in the playoffs a few years ago. He just goes small, wait for Nate to match up, and then knows he has the advantage because that is his teams strength, and rolls the dice.

By the way, matchup coaches don't win finals. Coaches that dictate the mismatches, do.

 

I think it's more correct to say, coaches that dictate the mismatches because they have players capable of dictating mismatches, win finals.

 

I don't think it is the coaches that dictate the mismatches . . . it's the players on the team.

Give me Kobe or Lebron, I'll show a mismatch. In fact isn't one of Nate's fault that he runs iso with Roy all the time down the stretch . . . isn't that dictating a mismatch (when Roy is healthy)
