So after every game the Blazers lose are we going to hear what Steve Blake did?

[RoyToy]

Blake was good for the Blazers...when they were 10 games below .500 a few years ago like the Clippers are this year. He's a stopgap PG that keeps you from being completely terrible but won't get you to the next level.

To be fair, Blake was the starting PG on a team that ended up with the 2nd best recored in the West last year. That's better than terrible, IMO.

Blake is more effective as a PG, than an off-guard. But, being a selfless kind of player, is willing to take on that role, which robs him of stats.

Regardless, being able to torment all the Blake-Haters on this forum whilst he is playing well: PRICELESS!!

Hopefully the same for Outlaw too, once he starts playing on Monday, I believe.

The Camby for Outlaw / Blake trade was universally viewed as a slam-dunk for the Blazers. So far, quite the opposite. Of course, it's still way too early for any conclusive arguments. This should be fun to follow for the rest of the season.

I don't see why someone would be willing to set themselves up for the inevitable drop in production that Blake will see.

It was kind of like how certain posters were celebrating any and everything Sergio did after he was traded to the Kings. And then he returned to earth and back to the Sergio that couldn't get minutes on the Kings and might not even be in the league next year.

Good point.

After all, once Baron returns, I would certainly expect a drop in Blake's numbers. Still, when a trade like this happens with certain expectations, it's kind of fun to track.

I agree, and I do think Blake will see an inflation (maybe temporarily) in production. In the right role and system, he's a valuable player. He was not used right here, and in some instances, used in a bad role.

He'd fit, imho, perfectly in the Lakers system.

Too bad the Lakers have better players in Brown and Farmar and the Cavs have Williams and Gibson.

Blake is a good starting PG....on a team 10 games below .500.

Blake had a career year last year. This year he's back to his normal self.

And Jarrett Jack has 23 points and 8 assists last night. Where's the love for JJ?

Oh, and Randy Foye had 14 points and 6 assists.

Any other ex-Blazers who didn't suck last night. How'd Sergio do in his debut for the Knicks? Von Wafer worked out for the Mavs yesterday. Are we going to be treated to a Von Wafer appreciation thread every time he score in double digits?
