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

Would they even be there if they didn't have them?

 

What a combo!?!?!?!?! I can't believe that a fucking thread started by this jackhole quoting ANOTHER jackhole actually now has 39 posts! What a combo!

 

Monta Ellis is to overrated as Mixum is to Rudy Cee.

 

Ummm, yeah. Nelson is able to get away with forcing teams to try and match up with his small ball lineups because he has players who excel in running and hitting outside shots. If he doesn't have those players, Nate just laughs at him and plays our usual lineup.

 

What does that have to do with the finals comment?

 

Nelson is an example of a coach who is able to get the opposing team to change the way they play in order to match up with the unusual lineups he throws out there. My point is that at any level, including the finals, a coach has to have players that are really good at playing something other than the typical style in order to force the opponent to change. Right now, I'm not sure that the Blazers, for instance, have players capable of a particular dominant style of play that, no matter who the coach is, they would be able to force the opposing coach to change what they're doing. I"m hoping that will change with a healthy Oden.

 

People get ready.

 

If you drop shit into a fan and are standing directly behind the fan, does any shit get on you?

 

Not true. Matchup coaches will match up every time. Every single time. Mike Dunleavy. Nate McMillan. Avory Johnson. You don't have to do anything special, but put a mismatch out there, to force them to react. Meanwhile coaches like Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich, and Jerry Sloan, run their same stuff no matter what you do. They force you to play against their strength. If you go small, they kick the shit out of you with their bigs, which is their normal lineup.

 

Which presupposes that you've got dominant bigs. Do the Blazers have dominant bigs at this point in time? Guys who can post up Nelson's small lineup and kick the shit out of the Warriors? I guess if we had Jackson, Popovich or Sloan as a coach Aldridge and Camby would instantly become power players.

 

You know, upon reflection, in Aldridge's case that might actually be true. I think Sloan or Pop would rip him a new one if he wasn't more aggressive at going to the hole and rebounding.

 

I think you are correct.

 

Speaking of shit hitting the fan:

daily quotes by washed up journalists that has to resort to being a blogger is the best material you can come up with on a daily basis?

 

I remember a year ago about this time....Jaynes was literally begging for a job via his blog. Talk about a pathetic way of doing things.

 

I know, now he thinks he's some kind of portland sports media icon.

 

I don't like Jaynes, but taking swipes at his personal problems that really have nothing to do with topic is basically useless. Because remember...even unemployed people can have an opinion about the Blazers!

Zags, this is no joke, I got asked to be a guest on Talkin' Ball after the Pacers game 2 weeks ago. Said no thanks, don't know what I'd say if I was on set with that tool and Ian Furness! How sad that they have to ask ME to be on there, that's how hard up they are for guests.
