Is the game not tonight? Or am I just not seeing it?
 
Yeah, I have a bad feeling about tonight's game for one very simple reason: rebounding.

The Blazers are dead last in both ORB/G and TRB/G. CHI is 1st in ORB/G and 2nd in TRB/G.

So, best rebounding team in the league vs. worst rebounding team in the league. That does not bode well for the home team. Supposedly Stotts gave the team a severe tongue lashing at halftime of the DEN about their lack of effort. I hope he's continued to be on them since. Rebounding is 90% effort. I hope we see that effort tonight from the Blazers. If not, it could get ugly.

Not sure if the stats back me up on this, but Wade usually plays better with a couple of nights off. They should be energized and prepared not playing since Saturday.

Their guards are bigger and stronger than ours, but ours are younger, quicker and can actually make 3-pointers. Our starting backcourt has made 56 3-pointers to their 16. Should be an interesting match-up of contrasting styles.

We also need to keep ROLO and Taj Gibson off the offensive glass. ROLO is currently 3rd in the league with 3.7 ORB/G. That's as many ORB/G as Plumlee, Aminu and Harkless combined. Plus, Taj Gibson averages another 2.5 ORB/G. Hell, their strating SF averages more ORB/G than our starting center (or anyone else on our team). Gotta box those guys out.

We shoot the ball better than they do, and average 4.5 more made 3-pointers per game than they do. Thye probalme is, they average 5 more ORB/G and 2.1 fewer TOV/G than we do. So, we need to protect the ball and keep them off the offensive glass. Even though they arent' a great shooting team, we can't give them that many extra possessions and hpe to win.

Yeah it should be one of those physical ugly grind out games .....if its not we should be ok.
 
Return again of Rolo..!! I still like the goofy guy...Bulls are a good fit for him
 
Should be a good game....they are going to be tough to beat. Go good guys!
 
They hit the offense boards and we going have to send everyone to the defense boards.
 
McCollum isn't an option on the poll. Not that I was going to vote for him, but still.
 
I think we should put the wrestle mania twist on mascots...have them go at each other every game and if they did that I want Kaman to be our new mascot
 
you guys are crazy to think that anyone is more athletic than connaughton. he plays basketball and baseball and has a 44 inch vertical.

That doesn't make him more athletic than, say, a Harkless. Just look at him in an nba game. He looks robotic.
 
Denny and Sly have asked me to inform the board that it is our sad duty to inform you that there will no longer be game threads. Please distribute your complaints to the other threads.

Ah yes baseball, that sport where all the best players are fat because every position just stands around.
