My insider just barked at the door to go outside...

For the record, he's hoping Oden will stay out of foul trouble. He also went as Oden for Halloween...which for the record is a bad idea because when dogs wear T-shirts they tend to pee on them...

Dude you better open up that door fast, that dog that size would leave a major sized steamer in your place to stink it up! :pokecrap:
 
I believe that winning breeds chemistry, and (except in EXTREME cases) chemistry has very little to do with winning.

I don't think that chemistry is making us miss free throws or causing our guys to get into foul trouble.

Ed O.

I agree with your second statement. Without foul trouble and if we made our free throws, our record would look better.

However, even if we were 4-1 because we had made our foul shots, I would still argue that we don't look as fluid and as strong as we did the second half of last season when we were absolutely destroying teams.

I don't know if it is a chemistry thing, a rust thing, a lack of effort thing, etc. But something is causing us to play at a lower level than we did for the second half of last season, even accounting for the missed free throws.
 
My said source is VERY close to the team and he said the players "don't know where to stand," etc.
 
Yes they do. Every time I have ever seen someone mention a source on here, for one, at least one person will ask "Link?", and many others will chime in asking about the info.

There is no link to my private phone call.

Kingspeed are you having a gay affair with one of the players?!? Are you getting your inside info during pillow talk?

KS:"Talk dirty to me!"

Player X: Andre is an asshole who the rest of the team cant stand!

KS: " Yeah baby! Tell me more!"

:drumroll:

Now would be a good time to reiterate my belief that Hollinger's emphasis on point differential being a better predictor of future success than win-loss record is off base, being basically a statistical anomaly with this team.

What? It was a joke...if you're offended thats your problem.

You talk "inside info" prepare to be mocked.

Since it way a gay joke instead of a straight joke its taboo or something? Give me a break

Only white straight republican males can be the butt of jokes, didn't you know?

Gotta be PC around everyone else.

Also, RR7 I'm going to need a link for your accusation of people asking for links :ghoti:
 
Hey Eric, you said you wouldn't tell anybody!

Is DaRizzle getting anal raped by Kobe Bryant? :dunno:

Why does the players not knowing where to stand on offense means there is a problem with Miller?
 
IF some of you think that if Miller was suddenly gone that this team would go back to playing what it was like last year then your delusional....

True. Sergio's return would also be required to restore the great chemistry we won 54 games with, and then the return of Martell would truly be effective.

Wasn't broke, shouldn't have "fixed" it.
 
Miller becomes eligible to be traded in 39 days, on Dec. 15.

Speculation about a Miller trade?

• 0: Andre Miller has zero starts in his first five games as a Blazer and is averaging just 25 minutes, only adding to the suspicion held by several rival executives that the Blazers signed Miller purely to make sure they acquired a tradable asset with their salary-cap space after failed free-agent bids for Hedo Turkoglu and Paul Millsap.

• 39: Miller becomes eligible to be traded in 39 days, on Dec. 15, along with the rest of the league's free agents who signed this past offseason.
 

That is interesting. I'm not very salary cap savvy...but my understanding is that if we didn't use the space this year we basically were going to lose it. So, it was a question of adding an asset, even if it wasn't a perfect fit, or give up any chance to use the cap space.

...I really need to learn more about how the cap works...anyone have suggested links that are good places to go to learn?

Could have used the cap anyway for an uneven trade - taking someone's expensive player (Say, Capt. Kirk for example) for a cheaper player (Say, Webster for example).

I do not think they would have signed him if they did not think there is more to him than trade-bait.
 
If KP hadn't brought in SOMEBODY this off season, there would have been fans jumping off bridges. S2 would have absolutely melted down.

Not if we were winning.

I wasn't offended at all. It was my way of saying "hmmmm..... no comment." Why did you assume offense?

Wow. When did I say I was offended? I just said "......"

Amazing.
 
Those things would have happened before the season started.

So we panic for a few months. Big deal, not like there was anything else going on. Better to go crazy in the offseason than during the actual season.
 
Miller chemistry problems?!? Clearly my source was better than yours.

Just sayin'
