Game thread: Trail Blazers vs OKC 2/11/09

I'm saying he can score, and his shooting will come around as he gets used to the physical play more. He had a nice stroke in his year of college.

He's smart, and aggressive, and will get better and better.

I like having him here.

 

It would depend on his D and how the team played as a unit with him, but yeah.

 

They killed teams in their last 3 home games. I will be shocked if the Blazers win tomorrow. Someone will have to come up huge for us. GS has been running people right out of the gym. (Phoenix, Utah and New York)

 

Oh I agree with that. It's the being remembered as a SG guard i disagree with. He is a PG and Only a PG.

 

If there is any game where we should just go inside every single possession, it's this one.
Biedrins is out, their only big is Turiaf, and he's going to have to take on G.O. Stephen Jackson will have to guard LaMarcus. But their perimeter players can flat-out play. Crawford, Ellis, Maggette, Watson, Azubuike..

At least they won't have Anthony Morrow tearing us up anymore.

 

What did I miss about Morrow?

 

He's terrible now and not getting any PT.

 

i remember having watched some games when blake was playing that we struggled against teams we shouldn't struggle with. that comes with being a young team and as they age together that shouldn't happen as much. i'll be the first to admit i was wrong if blake is kept and either of the other two are gone but i'm feeling pretty safe right now.

i do find it funny that no one wants to bring up bayless' stat line from the NYK game on sunday when he wasn't up to snuff and got pulled early. both of these guys are still young and learning, they are going to have games where they struggle. blake is nothing more than a journeyman PG that has hit his ceiling, i don't think we've come close to seeing the ceiling on sergio or bayless yet.

 

Way to jinx us. Now he will go off for 30. LOL

 

Bold position. I don't see Blake moved at this point.

 

what impact can your opinion have if you don't back it up? that's part of the problem with internet forums, people can hide behind their keyboard and aren't held responsible for the crap that spews out of their fingers.

 

I've scored just as many points as he has this month. I have no worries about Morrow tomorrow.

 

You might want to get a doctor to look at that.

 

Nice.

 

In 25 mins!

 

What do you want me to back up my opinion with? I don't think Blake will be moved. You do. So here we are at an impasse.

 

They were quiet going to their locker room. No cursing, no nothing. I think they realized that they got themselves beat.
