Coach basically embarrassed them after the Nuggets loss. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=291124007

I have a feeling they are gonna play us pretty tough and dont forget... they almost beat us in this building last year. The year before they beat on this exact same night before Thanksgiving in Portland.

Should we in. Yes we should win by 20 but this Nets team is hungry for a win. it would be pretty embarrassing to lose to this team.
 
You know they're going to win sometime but no, I'm not super concerned about tonight unless we're down 10 points with 3-4 mins remaining.
 
mods is that comment appropriate from little soda? I dont think so.
 
Good For You? I have to recheck the Mod Pamphlet, but I don't think that's bannable.
 
or is it... go f@#$ yourself? how do you know which one?
 
I am a little concerned about tonight's game. The Nets just got Devon Harris back, and he killed us last year (averaged 25 in two meetings) Lopez scored 22 & 17 against Portland last year also - although he's apparently nursing an ankle sprain.

We'll see if Coach Frank calling out his team gives them a shot in the arm. Often times it does, plus you know those guys are desperate to get a win.

I think Portland wins tonight, but not big. Could be an 82-79 type of score where both teams shoot under 40%. It seems like the Blazers often play down to their competition, but usually do just enough to beat weaker teams on their home court.
 
Yeah, of course you should be a little concerned. You don't want to be the first to fall to the Nets, as unlikely as it seems.

What, do you want the mods to guess? Since, as you imply, they can't KNOW which one it is, it would be irresponsible to assume that one interpretation is more correct than another. Get over it, dude.
 
The only way we lose this game is if Coach Nate forgets the lessons he's learning about how to use our twin towers and how that opens up the game for the the rest of the team. A loss would be inexcusable.
 
This game will either be one of two things: 1. A game to enjoy because the Blazers blow out the nets. 2. A game I wish I never went to because the Nets break through. I am thinking the former.
 
The Nets aren't "due." That's the gambler's fallacy. A string of failures doesn't mean you're due for a win. Especially when it comes to sports performance, where each failure is a reflection of your own abilities and not random. The Nets being winless makes them more due for another loss rather than a win, because it means they are not good at basketball, collectively.

So, no, this game isn't concerning. The Blazers could lose, that's a chance for any game. But this game probably has the lowest chance of that happening.
 
all the more scary.

and remember harris didnt play much in the first few games

Them being collectively bad at basketball makes the game all the more scary? Well, that's certainly a viewpoint. ;)

That's true and relevant. It makes them a bit better than their record, but still a bad team. If Lopez doesn't play, it erases much of that gain, though.

Zowie, you have a problem with that???

As to the Nets, they're a professional team, and are capable of beating any team on any given night.

We are a different team than last year!

They haven't played against the new Oden/LA team either.

They also haven't played against Miller on this team. Need I go on?

If we do not beat this team by at least 15 then the Refs are indeed throwing these games and need to be taken out and shot on the spot.:sherlock:
 
I have a bad feeling about it, but if we play even remotely like we should/can, we'll b fine.

If the N'yets beat us, it's a blow against democracy! We have to fight the ruskies, and come out victorious!

That's what they said about Chicago too, after they were ripped for being soft and playing without passion. How did that turn out?
 
I watched part of the Nets game last night. Their body language was bad. Effort was bad. Heads hanging after every play. Looks of dejection. If this team does not get a win in Sacramento on Friday, they may not win one until 25+ games into the season.

It's going to be good for them. The youngsters need to be humbled. The fans need this, so they can figure out their GM is a piece of shit and should be fired. Also, they have a great chance to "rebuild" in the draft and take a page from Seattle, Portland and old Chicago years before. Rebuild the foundation and make it strong, then build your empire on that. I wish them the best.
 
No I'm excited that the Blazers are gonna kill the Nets. Ya know, optimism? I think the Blazers can win every game.
 
Accuscore has Portland winning the game with a 87% chance.
New Jersey had Vince Carter last year whose no longer on the team. Bobby Simmons scored 14 points on us last year in march but right now he has been struggling in his last 5 games with an average of 3.8 ppg.
Lopez has a tweaked ankle only mustering just five points on 1 for 4 shooting in 27 minutes Tuesday against Denver.
PG Devin Harris has been having two decent games lately after coming back from a groin injury. We will have to contain him I think.

Last season, they had Carter and Oden was very slow and still injured. Let's see how it goes this time, without Carter and a much revamped and energized "Oden".
