We should really take advantage of how slow Oden is getting up and down the court and get the ball to EO50 as much as possible as quick as possible.

Mek is getting pushed around by Oden....Maybe Oden is one of those "real" centers that Mek has to give to Nazr or Diop.

Is May even activated?

It was pretty late that we found out about the signing. Unless information wasn't divulged until later, I imagine Martin is just recently leaving Iowa. I'd be shocked if he's even at the game.

LOL...Portland announcers lamenting that Ammo is in foul trouble and might leave the court......

Phil Ford just had the "Oh God, Larry is ranting about playing 'the right way' to Morrison again" look on his face.

Wow. Sweet hesitation move by Felts.

Grow a left hand Boris.

Ray's stroke has looked more fluid lately. I wonder if he's better off of the dribble than on the catch and shoot, but better at the catch and shoot than on a shot off the dribble that has some modifier on it (fading, off balance, eyes closed--whatever)

It used to be that he had to have his feet set and be square for the shot to have any chance to go in.

Bucks lost tonight so if we win we'd be 1/2 game out of 8th. Not expecting us to win though.

This is the time we need Diaw to take over and be more of a go-to scorer.

This is also the time that normally most of our starters would get a rest, while Wallace would be out on the court with a lot of the bench. Right now, our offense is sucking because we don't have him out there, and Diaw isn't being more assertive.

Poor Ray. He logged, what 53 mins last night and he's going to have to deal with full court pressure all night. Then when he gets on defense PDX will be rotating fresh guys at him!

Our guys don't seem to have any legs already. Can't blame them.

Ugh...this is already looking like a 20 point loss....

I don't think it's happening tonight. They have too much depth inside. They don't even need Roy tonight. If this wasn't a back to back and we had Wallace (who could eat this team up) we would be good.

We were there the first half of the qtr. But they went on a 13-2 run to go up by 14. We look tired. The spirit is willing but the body is just too weak tonight.

W_HAMILTON · Post #79 » by **W_HAMILTON** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:39 am

Our defensive energy isn't there so far, and our usually poor offense is even worse without Wallace in there.

Good vet play by Juwan to just try and get a really easy one and get something started.
