Great win. The Raptors were just hitting everything all game long - or at least up until the last couple of minutes. The Blazers had to take it from...
Thank you Mrs. Turkoglu, a 1000 times. Sincerely, Nic and Andre.
Toronto's decided to stay on the 3's and dare Portland to take it inside. I would like the Blazers to accommodate. Also, don't give up 2nd chance...
Batum is the perfect complement on this team. Thank goodness he didn't get traded for Richard Jefferson, Gerald Wallace, Vince Carter, etc.
Dave Berri (Wages of Wins author) has a brief but interesting article showing the 50 best statistical seasons SGs have had since 77-78 at...
Here's a followup that thinks through the same impression I had: http://thenullhypodermic.blogspot.com/2010/03/unifying-statistics.html . It would be...
Poor shooter, bad rebounder for his position, bad defender. Last night was one of his better games and still wasn't that good. Why would Portland (or...
A lot of businesses are facing this change. In the company where I work, there are a lot of old-school media people, and they are (badly) struggling...
Last year the Blazers were also among the slowest paced teams, yet had a much more effective offense. Since the system (as much as it is a system)...
Back to the original topic, I'm a little surprised so many would say yes. John Wall looks like another Marbury, while Oden was going through the roof...
Aye.
Thanks, Rudy, for hitting the 4th make since the start of the 4th. Ugh.
10 fucking points in the 4th. OT is lucky.
This is showing what the team's been missing the last month: rebounding, post defense, and 4th quarter offense. Thanks, Marcus and Roy*. * but hit...
Unless Nate is poisoning them, the offense is all on the players here. 7 points in 9 minutes is stunning. I can only hope that gets doubled over the...
A few fun mid-year bits have arrived, and our Blazers' bits need to pointing out. First, we have Wayne Winston's midterm notes. Good even if you're...
Hey, this Batum guy might be pretty good.
I'm watching the game and Espn's gamecast at the same time - Espn didn't even have a head shot to show for Dante's score.
No worries. You don't even have to be a Thelonious fan to play with the name (but it helps).
Nope, just badly out of rhythm from the get-go. Blake started playing well so Nate kept him in for most of the last 3 quarters.
Separate names with a comma.
