"THE" Official Blazers / Warriors Game Thread 11.20.10

How come Joel grabbed 9 rebounds but Oden could only grab 6?

Hey folks- I gotta take an important phone call. I was misinformed about the PER thing. Calm down, B-Roy. If I don't instantaneously respond to your next post, it's because I have a life outside of this forum.

PEace.

 

Because I'm very level. Bipolar episodes aren't about whether or not you think Oden is playing well in a basketball game. The depressive episodes are absolute despair and fraught with sucidal thoughts. It's the worst thing you can possibly go through. I'm on good medication now and am past all of that. I'm very healthy, happy, and level. Here in the forum, I'm just having fun and you all take it way too seriously. Making light of a real illness is in poor taste.

Peace.

 

"Hey Eric, we're thinking about bringing your character back on Bones"

"REALLY?!"

"Hell no, haha, early April fools! *Click*"

 

I think you guys are taking it waaayy to far. After the game take a break and step away. It's a fucking basketball game were gettig worked up about. I know I look like a dumbass for making the thread but I mean we are all clearly frustrated about the loss but shit, let's cut him some fucking slack.

 

I'm not making light of it at all. I'm jsut saying it's a legitimate thing to bring up when trying to figure out where you're coming from in your posts. I know folks that are bi-polar and the shit they say from moment to moment is contradictory much of the time. Like saying Oden is the best center in the league and then saying he's a monumental failure the next moment. I think your mental disease is quite reflective in your posts. I'm not making light of it.

 

PER's

Dante Cunningham 21.1
Jerryd Bayless 20.2
Brandon Roy 19.9
Greg Oden 19.1
LaMarcus Aldridge 17.7
Rudy Fernandez 15.8
Travis Outlaw 15.1
Andre Miller 14.2
Martell Webster 12.1
Joel Przybilla 11.6
Steve Blake 9.5
Juwan Howard 2.8

 

Why doesn't Nate just try miller/roy/Rudy/la/oden for a game. Couldn't be worse than tonight?

 

But that would mean Blake doesn't start. That is just unacceptable.

 

Dude, trying to figure out Nate is quite the task. He's just not a very good coach. His Seattle teams were usually quite mediocre despite being talented and his Blazer team right now isn't in the top tier of NBA teams despite having an overload of great talent. I don't mind if we lose now to have higher potential to win later, just as long a change is made soon to the coaching staff.

 

But I've never said that Oden is the best center in the league nor have I said that he's a monumental failure. You just read into it like that.

Also, you have to not take what I say so seriously. Hard to do since you can't hear my tone of voice. It's the same in reverse too.

 

If you're going to play Roy out of position (because I don't think Rudy can handle threes for any significant period of time) at least put the better player in the game with him. Rudy can shoot threes just like Blake, but he goes for rebounds, gets steals, and runs his man all around the fucking court.

 

And then we'd have no bench whatsoever. Man, if Webster isn't going to contribute, our roster is suddenly very thin.

 

BEcause Oden is a better offensive player than Joel.

 

Now that Jerryd got some playing time, does this mean he'll be back in the rotation?

When he didn't come out in the first quarter tonight, I figured he'd sit the whole thing out. We really could have used his scoring when things weren't falling for us in quarters 2 through... 4.

 

Yes, I feel like this is at the heart of our problem; we don't really have even a decent available SF at this time.

 

After Dec 15th passes, we should trade Miller for a starting SF. That moves Bayless into more minutes at backup PG and keeps Rudy as our only dependable offensive punch off the bench. Or we can trade Miller for a super sixth man and move Rudy into the starting lineup. One of the two. Who could we get....?
