OKC has all the ingredients to give us a proper ass whipping tomorrow. A dynamic scorer at the small forward position, a point guard who can attack the rim (and our utter lack of ability to cut off dribble penetration), second night of a back to back, the Blazers are playing like poop right now ... I won't be surprised at all to see them hang one on us.
Did you guys know we were 1-3 after 4 games last year? I hope we win tomorrow so we don't have a horrible season like that again!
Yep, I was more worried about tonights game then the game in Houston and look how that turned out. The team is in disarray the substitution patterns are seemingly random, our defense sucks and our offense only looks good in bursts. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook is looking all-world. Color me worried about tonights game.
Players need to feel comfortable in their role. Nate is starting Blake when the whole team/city/state and country knows Miller is the better PG. KP has given Nate to many options and Nate is to worried about offending some of his players (Blake and Travis). Here's how the lineup should be PG- Miller starting SG- Roy with Rudy being the first guard off the bench and Blake or Bayless getting spot minutes SF-Webster/Roy PF-LMA/Howard C- Oden/Pryz Offensively GO should be getting a minimum of 8-10 shots a game. There is no way in hell our big man will ever develop getting 3 shots a game in the post. How in the hell can he develop any confidence......
That is pretty funny. First you tell us the Blazers will lose big and to book it. Then when the Blazers win you come back to the thread and take credit for jinxing the Thunder. Blazers suck . . . book it.
I disagree with almost very thing you said. I don't don't know that Miller is better than Blake (along side of Roy) KP has not given Nate too many options (Our bench is not as awesome as some of you think) Players need to be ready at all times. If a guy like LMA goes down like tonight, then the game plan changes. Go with who is playing the best as the games goes on. If they feel uncomfortable too fucking bad. Be ready.
No good win . . . shut down Durant and held the Thunder to low shooting percentage day after Roy comes out and says the players are playing with no effort and Nate curses the defense. Good win.
Agreed. It just looks ugly in the scoresheet. .406 shooting, even rebounding, Roy shoots 5-17, Aldridge played just 12 minutes... Against a team that won like 10 games last season. A win is a win, and 78 more like this would be a tremendous season.
