Don't be ridiculous.
It's Rod Strickland
T-long?

arvydas sabonis?
They could have used Chauncey Billups.
oden. he has the grandfather role
Now, that's how a leader steps up and talks in the locker room when a team has injured players
I don't recall Roy being such a ball hog. He's basically playing point guard right now.
a point guard that looks for his own shot first.
Maurice Lucas
Right. It's like he wants the ball in his hands so much he'll even walk it up the court. Ridiculous.
BTW, the Miami Nancys look in complete control of this game.
Roy is really chucking this game..
Oden is a beast though, no idea why he hasn't gotten more touches in this game..most of his "shots" have been tips and putbacks..whenever he's gotten it down low, he's had his way..
They need a new coach pretty badly IMO..
LMAO Blazers...
At this point I don't think they even deserve a separate thread, do they?
^ No...
Roy's just doing what he said needed to happen:
"I think we have to establish a pecking order offensively," Roy said Monday, shortly before Oden asked him when the meeting would commence in McMillan's office.
Roy has been the most vocal in expressing concerns about the team's offensive struggles, in large part because he is the most accommodating and forthcoming interview on the team, but also because he is accustomed to being the focal point of the offense.
Clearly, Roy is fighting himself and the system.
He began the season stressing to his teammates the importance of sacrificing, but he says he feels like he is sacrificing the most. He moved to small forward for nine games, and throughout the season has surrendered the ball more than he ever has in his career.
"How do I sacrifice and still be me?" Roy asked Monday. "That's what I'm trying to find out. I'm trying to sacrifice and I'm trying ... but I'm feeling – Arrrrrgh! I don't think it works. Not because of the scoring, it just doesn't seem right."

Of course, these are all non-issues.
Roy starting to sound like Arenas... This is not going to end well...
This is what happens when the player incorrectly thinks he's above the team, the coach and the system.
I mean, if you fire McMillan, what capable coach is out there to right this ship?
speaking of which, tlong has been absent for a LONG time
coincidentally, the blazers have been creating some lols for us
Ughhhh.. we played a lot better then the last two losses.. but still didn't have a win in reach... oden played great as well as howard.. roy played better and had more hustle than the last two but still has been missing open players like oden for easy shots. Basically I know aldridge was out, but with the lackluster performances from this team lately I'm not too sure it would of made a difference. If the team wants to claim they are tired( wich is b.s. cause they are athletes and this is their job) then they need to enjoy this 3 day rest and come out and play some in ball Saturday before they hit the road.
The only two players that have consistently brought it at both ends has been oden and webster.. rudy hasn't had much of a chance he's basically the guy who gets the ball with 4 seconds on the clock and has to throw a miracle that's he usually makes, but that's it for him..and roy and aldridge have been sleepwalking out there. It seems
This teams chemistry is a cluster they have no iden y.. until they figure it out and play some defense they are gonna drop like a ton of bricks.
Lol @ Blazers
Oh and this was one of odens worse shooting nights this year.. most of his shots were putbacks that he fought for. When he is included in plays like pick and rolls wich miller and rudy do great with him or given room by the team to work down low he has had great shooting nights but they won't include him in the offense he has to work twice as hard as any player to get shots on this team.. nate needs to get him involved more and tell roy and lma to learn to pass to him more..
I think Pritchard is good at assembling talent, but not really a "team".
@Penny, so what fixes this team? A trade? Time?
Man honestly I was wondering what it was... I say give them till all star break, they either sink or swim. If they sink then start the trading process.. and at the end of the year if we take a step back.. hold nate responsible and can his ass and give porter his shot.
I'm going to ponder this question some more, but off the top of my head this is all I know.
I think people are expecting to much out this team too quickly.
Shane Battier for Rudy Fernandez and fillers
Sounds like the guy before him.
