Thoughts from the game tonight 10/22

[bigbailes]

Haven't gotten to see our boys play until tonight and it was a treat.

- Oden looked better to me than i've heard others describe him on here and other outlets. I was pleased with the way he was moving and looked good. His dunk in the 2nd half was AWESOME and had a blazerhater/lakerlover ohhing and ahhing in front of me.

- Roy is mr. consistent. nothing more to say

- Loved the hustle out of Frye and Priz tonight. Joel is a BEAST on that second unit and i think we finally know who our enforcer is. He is down there mixing it up and getting his boards.

- Rudy was fun, had the crowd ohhing and ahhing a couple times.

- Outlaw looked bad tonight. struggled with the shot and didn't seem to put forth much effort on the d.

- Was suprised sergio didn't play but understand that bayless hasn't been playing alot and probably wanted to get a look at him in extended minutes.

- They need to decide who's running the second unit. Watching Bayless tonight it seemed him and Outlaw could work well together in the second unit but if sergio is the point it makes outlaw very expendable.


and big ups to the clips for the free seats in the 100 level, just for signing up for their clipper insider thing. but if you guys think the blazer promotions at half time are cheesy and poorly done, go to a clips game and you'll realize it could be worse, much worse.

Just seen a dunk by Oden on the news. Outlaw is at the 3 point line with a guy on him and Oden runs to set a pick, but then cuts for the basket and Outlaw hits him with the basketball and bam!

No problem. I forgot my phone anyway. It was pretty empty. I personally saw about 40 Blazer fans walking around the halls.

Any video of the game?

Considering we have 3 people competeing, hopefully, for the final roster spot, I thought it odd that none of them got into the game.

for the second game in a row. figuring out our rotation is much more important.

Yeah, I think that it just demonstrates how really unimportant that last roster spot is... and that leads me to think that Hill is probably the guy, since he is the guy most likely to add value during practices.

Wheels was on the radio this morning and he thinks Randolph will get the spot.

Why is that odd? Considering None of them will even play this year.

Nobody has mentioned how good Rudy looked. Steals. How about that sick pass to LA for a dunk?

 

[MrJayremmie]

^He really wasn't that big of a standout last night, imo. He played well, like always and is efficient. He had some nice plays and was smart like always.

The thing that looks great about Rudy is his motor. Oden occupies people with his bulk--forcing double teams. Rudy occupies people with his movement on both ends.

Batum actually moves very well without the ball too. Give him another year and he will be scoring on some very easy baskets just by moving well in the lane.

I said it before and I will say it again - Rudy has a little bit of Reggy Miller and Rip Hamilton in him. He is in constant motion and he will get many open looks because of that.

He has more of a flair than either of these guys around the basket however - which will make him a fan favorite league wide pretty soon (he already is in Portland).

 

[MrJayremmie]

Rudy has a little Reggie Miller/Kevin Martin/Manu Ginobili in him i think...
