Got to the arena as the team was walking out after shoot around. Talked to Przybilla and he said he was going to play tonight. Good news.
 
That's not just good news, but great news. Remember how Joel can get under Chandler's skin. I look forward to a Tyson Tech tonight.
 
Portland should kill Dallas tonight since they are without Dirk and Butler. Joel playing should only help that



Oh, and thanks, Mixum, 2 hours ago when you posted this

Portland has been a different team on the road, so I don't agree. Dallas still has a lot of good players many of whom are experienced, and most of whom, would be playing ahead of guys on this team at the same position.

Who would start?

Miller and Kidd are close
Matthews > Terry
Batum > Stevenson
Aldridge > Marion
Camby and Chandler are close


I'm not sure who would start ahead of anyone on our team.
 
Um Terry is light years better on offense then Matthews. Defense matthew is much better. Chandler is much better better then camby. Berea also always destroys us. This is as notbas much of a gimmie as u think.

And mediorcre man... The reason u missed my post was likely because u were making a Nate sucks thread.

I didn't miss your post, but Nate still sucks
 
MIXUM posted that HCP had a conversation with Joel as Joel was leaving practice, two hours before it happened?

Man, he's good.

I don't agree that Miller and Kidd are close. Miller had one great game against him, but for the most part it has not been duplicated in effort before or since. Kidd has a resume that buries Millers. He may be old, but if I was asked to choose between those two, I go with Kidd every time. No question.

Mathews and Terry is a wash. They are different players with different strengths. I would want one to defend the other teams best player at the end of the game, and I would want the other to take the last shot at the end of the game. Terry has more experience, more playoff experience, and more big game experience.

Stevenson and Batum are both defenders who will never spend much time guarding each other, or scoring for that matter. If Marion was playing his normal SF position, he would start in front of Batum no question.

Aldridge is better than Marion at this point of his career. But Marion has enough game left to make it tough.

Camby and Chandler are almost twins of each other. Chandler is more physical and Camby has more offensive tools.

Now that being said, I have 2 more words to add. Golden State. For every good game Portland has on the road, they have 2 bad ones. We got a good one at Utah. I really don't expect another road win for a bit unless they change their road ways. When you are 6 and 13 on the road, that about says it all. This team plays well at home, and bites ass on the road.
 
SInce I seldom read Mixum's threads thanks for posting this. :)
 
No I just use real updates... Not guys hcp loves cause they give him the time of day while holding a camera.
 
Mgb.... Since u aren't reading my threads.... Perhaps u might wanna change your avatar since 2 of the 3 blazers in it have as big of a future with the blazers as Sean marks.

And Dallas even depleted has a better bench then we do.

Wrong again, I'm don't run camera. Sorry my updates aren't real enough for you. You might believe it if it came from respected journalists like Dwight Jaynes huh?

You mean - you read the internet? Could we maybe do that too?

So let's see: Joel Przybilla "gives HCP the time of day" whereas you read real updates. Good thing your computer gives you the time of day.

Ditto here. What he doesn't realize is how many posters here have him on ignore and never see his posts. Some of us just have better things to do with our time than wade through 37,000 tons of absolutely useless negativity, self-serving drama and blatant trolling to find a very rare, tiny tidbit of useful information.

So, I just repped HCP for posting this where the rest of us would actually see it.

Thanks HCP. Have fun working the game tonight.

Wow Mix, you aren't really respected around here are you?

He's not looking for respect. He's looking for attention. Which is why I have him on ignore and, therefore, don't read or respond to his posts.

So, please keep posting any information you get from the players. I'd much rather get updates from your conversations with the players and staff than third hand from a forum troll anyway.

Wow, you think he's a troll, too? Weird.

The mods around here insist he's not. lol!
 
Hey, I just found out from an inside source that we blew this game!
