People just don't want to admit that Schonley's a jinx. :devilwink:

Yeah, six assists is a really awful number, all right.

Sometimes when I come on this forum I feel like I just swallowed a whole bottle of crazy pills ... tonight is one of those nights.

It's a meltdown when the team wins, especially if Outlaw has a mediocre game.

:cheers:

Oh hadn't you heard? This team is going to win 64 games this season and get to the finals ... easy peezy.

This thread is mighty entertaining... no matter which side you're on with regards to Miller-gate, there's some major crazy occurring.

I liked hearing about how Miller had to take over with the Blazers down 1 at the half. Next thing you know, they are down 10.

Miller is a proven NBA winner.
 
I am just curious, wtf happened to Roy? Did not playing a lick of BBall all off-season kill his rhythm?

And I think the rest of the starters did a great job... :)

It's just one person who's taken crazy pills.

How can you reason with someone who thinks his point is valid if he makes it more often than people care to respond to it?

I like what I see from the starters tonight, except Roy. I've only got the boxscore, of course.

I'm not worried about losing tonight. It's just the preseason.

Without seeing the game first hand its awfully hard to get a handle on how everybody looked, but off-hand I seem to recall the reserves giving up the big run that pushed the score to minus 8 or 9.

I think this is a good point that has been made. You don't get better by not practicing on your actual basketball skills. From what it sounds like he just worked on his conditioning more then anything.
 
Rudy out for tomorrow's game with back spasms.

Outlaw questionable for tomorrow's game with brain spasms..

Actually, I only see one poster/troll having a mental breakdown.

The other posters seem to realize it is a preseason game, and don't think that Miller, with 25/6/5 is ruining the franchise.

Hi Ed. Nice to see you keep up the passive-aggresive game. Meanwhile, I'm still driving up board hits...

He couldn't be bothered to recruit free agents for the team, in spite of being under contract. I wouldn't be surprised if he just took the summer off for the most part.

I don't blame him, and I fully expect him to round into shape within a couple weeks of the start of the regular season.

Ed O.
 
On second thought, I was wrong.

Miller is just what this team needs to make up for Roy's regression.

Roy needs to get his act together. Why didn't he practice this summer???
 
Honestly, people, stop feeding the troll.

Roy comes off more and more selfish to me, though. Scary thoughts in my head...

Good point Ed. This season will be Roy's fault. Excellent analysis.

I wouldn't say that, our superstar needs the ball. And rightly so. However, 4-13 or whatever is not what a superstar does....usually...

I agree. He should put aside what he does best for Andre Miller, a veteran who has won multiple NBA titles.

I'm not a troll. I agree with you. This is Andre Miller's team.

Come on now. Roy is selfish. What has he done beside drag a team up from 21 wins to 54 wins in 3 years in the West?

Stop being ridiculous.

If I say it 20 times will the analysis improve, in your eyes?

Of course, in your eyes my post has an entirely different meaning than it does to mine, so I'm not sure I should play by the "PapaG Rules of Making a Good Point on the Interwebz".

It does appear that something has broken inside of you this evening, though. Are you OK?

I actually sort of agree with this. That quote where he says he's still young and thnks he can still do some things makes me think he's watching his numbers pretty closely.

I don't think it's a problem or anything, but I get the feeling he definitely has a lot of individual goals to go with team goals.

Nothing wrong with it, but just saying...
 
For those of you concerned that Miller took over in the 3rd when we were down 1 and somehow contributed to us being down 10 at the end of the third, I direct you here:

http://www.nba.com/games/20091014/PHXPOR/playbyplay.html#3

Look at 4:53 - Blake comes in for Miller as Oden shoots his FT's. Blazers down 2.

Now read that play-by-play...

Turnovers. Missed 3pt shots. Everyone on the floor in a Rip City univerom is playing SHITTY ball. Look at the gems around 2:31.

Miller returns with 10:34 left to go in the 4th, the Blazers down 4, then instantly down 6 on the next play. By the time Miller "takes over" (after 9:50) the Blazers are down 8.

And he plays well, scoring 9 points in a row, and keeping the Blazers from being blown out completely.

So anyway, that's my bit.
 
LMA moving closer to a contract deal...

Greg Oden 3 blocks, 1 foul.

I bring that up because last year he had more blocks than fouls in a total of one game, all year.

When Roy adjusts to Miller and a dominant Greg Oden, we will start crushing teams. Didn't Roy stink up the first 10 or so games of the 2007/08 season? I recall that he suddenly found his groove and got his first All-star berth. Roy just needs to find his rhythm. Oden owned Stoudamire that is what's important here. Monster game from Go tonight.
