If we win, do we make the playoffs.

I wonder who gets the starting nod next to Damian in the backcourt tonight? I know Wesley isn't all-world or anything, but not having him for an extended period is gonna hurt.

 

[THE HCP]

Yes it is. His ability to knock down 3s really opens up the lane for guys to work. I bet he starts Barton. He's not deserving, but who else is there!

 

[THE HCP]

Actually what about Nolan? They played well together in Vegas.

Nolan, Barton, Price, Claver ... I don't really think it makes much difference at all.

That's what I was thinking.

Hate to say it but I hope Price is out too. That leaves Will, or Nolan, or Babbitt with Nico sliding over to SG.

Time to forget about the playoffs and get serious about making a trade -- or barring that setting up a good off-season strategy.

Hah. I forgot about Cla-bear!

We have a chance

Wes missed games earlier this season and Claver started in his place in all of the games.

I say we start Nolan Smith, give the other team rib cramps from laughing, then run them out of the garden.

OK, this got an audible -- not quite "out loud" -- laugh from me. Nice.

The other times in this situation, Stotts started Batum and Claver. They are my favorite player his rookie year, and my 2nd-favorite player this year.

Claver misses all his shots because he hurries for NBA speed, but he made a couple of long ones in preseason. But he is so active, fluid, and mobile for a guy 2 inches taller than Batum. I still say he'll eventually be another Batum.

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

Claver time!

I can't wait for Barton to jack up a shot in heavy traffic.

 

[MickZagger]

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

I want Barton out of those guys listed.

Away commentators yet again for a Trail Blazers home game.

The NBA hates Rice, and Barrett.

Go Blazers!

For as much as people say Hickson gives up (and I don't doubt that) he sure gets a lot himself.

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

Lillard with a sweet up and under.

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

what?? Nolan Smith with a turnover? Noooooo....

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

I want Nolan to do good but my god...

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

I have such low expectations for Smith now that anything he does positive is like gravy and the bad is expected.

 

[KingSpeed]

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

Nolan is good. You guys are too hard on him. You won't know what we had til he's gone.

 

[KingSpeed]

Re: official jazz vs blazers game thread- the REMATCH, rose garden, february 2nd 7pm

Nolan scores again

Am I wrong or is Meyers improving on defense?

I'm fairly certain we know what we have now.
