Blogging With the Enemy: Blazers Edge

Predicted bane of the Hawks existence: Brandon Roy, but I really wanted to say Greg Oden. Like real bad. 

Game Preview:

The Hawks are a fragile bunch. Or at least us fans are. We have never been on the top shelf. Sure we know what the floor feels like but those falls came from pretty low levels. The Hawks are not there yet, but if they keep winning, other teams will look at them as a statement game, and that takes a different attitude and approach of which the Hawks have never need know anything about until now.

I am not worried about the Hawks losing the top spot in some pointless (if entertaining) power rankings. I know they will anyway, but showing up for games as the favorite is scary. It can mess with a team's psyche for good or for bad. Here is to hoping the Hawks just say "screw it, lets be special" and keep the focus for the week to come.

Almost two weeks ago, I called the Portland game a winnable one but not expected. Tonight, a victory is expected. Expectations are different from guarantees, but at home, full of confidence, and rested, the Hawks should beat anyone. Against a very good and increasingly confident Blazers' team, Atlanta will need to stay focused, set the tone, and play solid defense for a full 48 minutes. So basically, the Hawks need to do what they have done all season. An 8-2 record does not hand you victories, it just shows you how to get them.

Keys to the game:

  1. Not get killed on the boards. The Hawks actually out rebounded the Blazers by ten last game. I hope that is not what it takes to win every time because the Hawks don't have the horses for it, but a competitive showing should do the trick.
  2. Jamal Crawford and Marvin Williams driving the ball. Those two guy can beat their man off the dribble, draw fouls, and create opening for cutting players.
  3. Paraphrasing Joe Johnson, no one likes to be embarrassed. Joe does not need to go blow for blow with Brandon Roy. In fact, a Joe/Roy slug fest would be less than advantageous for the Hawks, but if we can look back on this game and say Joe held his own against Roy without needing to dominate the shots, the Hawks should have the fire power to win. 
  4. Home crowd, energy, push the pace, bring out good Josh, etc, etc. 

Comment of the Hornets game thread from Erihury:

"Bibby is playing like his job is on the line."

Go Hawks!

Travis Outlaw being out

really helps my psyche. I don’t need any more flashbacks of overtime buzzer-beaters.

it almost counters my fear that the hawks are going to lay an egg

for being on top of power ranking they probably don’t even read.

Blazers Fan here

Congratulations Hawks fans on the impressive start… I really like your team and you’ve scored some outstanding wins against some tough clubs. Can’t say the same for Portland, who despite the recent winning streak, has really been beating up on teams that just don’t have the firepower to match up. So needless to say, to gain measure of respect, the PTB need a little revenge tonight.

Oh yea, regarding my boy Outlaw being out, that really hurts. But the Blazers do have depth and can always bring in Webster or Bayless to be that clutch guy down the stretch.

Best of luck and good game.

so your saying there are other blazers

that can create new nightmares like the one Outlaw cemented in us with that buzzer beater?

well, that is good. i was tired of good sleep anyway.

and thanks for stopping by. i normally very much enjoy rooting your team on.

by hawksdawgs on Nov 16, 2009 4:16 PM EST up reply actions  

plenty of weapons on the PTB

don’t forget Rudy… that guy’s just aching for an opportunity to show off.

Hey I don’t think the Hawks got to see the new 3 guard line-up that has fueled Portland’s streak. Andre-Blake-Roy doesn’t sound so hot, but it has added an interesting dimension to the offense, namely more movement, more fluidity and the team is getting off to better starts. Interestingly the Portland defensive effort of late has been notable, effectively shutting teams down hard. Oden is becoming more intimidating a presence with each game. Between him and Joel expect to fight for any and all rebounds available.

What can you tell me about the Hawks bench. Who do they rely on to carry them when Johnson and Smith aren’t torching the nets?

Blake

I’d very much rather you play Blake for like 50 minutes, so if you don’t mind passing that on to your team that would be great.

If Blake plays 50

that means OT and a good shot to win… I’ll take it. Not sure if you are dissing Blake, but if so it’s as unwarranted as the Blake doubters at BE that all too often frequent their opinion. (sorry BE’rs.)

Blake’s due for a big night. Thanks for the inspiration.

by bow4meow on Nov 16, 2009 4:57 PM EST up reply actions  

it's not so much that people are dissing Blake over there

it’s more about the tradeoffs. Playing Blake 35 minutes means Rudy is only getting 15, and since Blake is now getting most of his minutes at the off guard, most people at BE think Rudy brings more to the table than Blake at that position. It’s not necessarily a slam on Blake to say you would rather see his minutes go to Rudy.

this

Exactly what I was thinking, it’s really all about the match-ups and what Roy brings versus Blake.

Also, Blake on two occasions off’d my team in the tourney, once over GT and once over UNC-Wilmington. Guys that hit last second buzzer beaters for wins against my teams live on in infamy. I certainly wish him no luck against the Hawks tonight, that’s for dang sure.

Has Miller fit in yet?...

if Outlaw was in, I’d have said him as the bane, so it’s nice he’s out. Rudy Fernandez is still capable of going for Jamal like 20+ in 20 minutes, and he’s starting to warm up.

Oden was the better choice though. Roy will be Roy, and he and Joe Jo are markedly similar in capable of putting up amazing stat lines where you hardly even know they played. Oden is making a big difference on the glass and blocking shots. We need Horfina and Smooth to kick their ass again to win.

by Mr. Sanchez on Nov 16, 2009 4:58 PM EST reply actions  

Miller's starting to fit in a bit better

he’s in the starting lineup now, and the ball movement has been much better. He sets his teammates up pretty well, and Roy is slowly starting to figure out how to play off the ball a bit better. Oden is by far the biggest benefactor on offense of MIller’s starting and increased PT. There is still progress to be made however. The Blazer’s offense continues to be maddingly inconsistent, oftentimes completely lost, and predictably jumper-heavy. The defense has been carrying them of late.

How did you guys win that?

by douglast on Nov 16, 2009 5:02 PM EST up reply actions  

Miller's getting there

I personally think the whole 3 guard line-up is just Nate’s way of easing Blake to the bench. Miller’s outside game is well…. yeeee. Other then that I like the way he involves Oden and that is really starting to pay dividends. Blake is more a look for Roy guy, which is good, but I prefer the feed the big man first philosophy.

Are we going to sick Horford on LMA, or try Josh?

by coachkcastellon on Nov 16, 2009 6:09 PM EST reply actions  

Someone has to guard Oden. Probably have Horford front him and try to deny the entry pass, rather than to try to play man on him in the post. Oden is actually a reasonable offensive threat-making 61% of his shots and 81% of his free throws.

Josh is going to have guard Aldridge-the problem is that he won’t be in the paint as often, so Josh won’t be in a position to provide help defense as often when Andre Miller is driving.

5th of five

This should be a tough game for the Blazers. Playing the 5th game of a 5 game road trip and quite a few games where B Roy has been playing against SF’s have left the team a bit tired. They are finding ways to win though which is encouraging.

Atlanta seems to have the advantage based solely on Home court and rest, although I do like that the the 5th game of this road trip is against the Hawks who are playing great ball, maybe that will the Blazers a little extra spark and motivation to steal one away from their home court.

How did we get better?

Joe, Mike, and Marvin haven’t seemed to improve.

It’s all about Josh, Al, and Jamal!

by coachkcastellon on Nov 16, 2009 9:43 PM EST reply actions  

Horford has been steadily getting much better.

And Jamal has been a big surprize. Josh has been a beast as well.

this team is 4realz

Corey Zickefoose: I think they should still be able to play football, regardless. Tennessee is my place. You know, it's my football team.

Reporter: Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?

Corey Zickefoose: Yeah. It's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes.

Welcome to the SEC!

Box score is confused.

Says Joe Smith started. I can sympathize with it though.

See Joe started...

and a J Smith started. Damn, this is confusing. I wish he had Joe Smith on his jerseys

We popped too many woodys

hope you remembered to bring a towel.

I can barely wrap my mind around this win.

It defies any and all logic. The 09-10 Hawks backs cannot be broken.

this is definitely a culture shock for the fans

And Crawford struggled...

I wonder if somehow they are two parts of the same entity. Hot Ying to Awesome Yang if you will.

by eyy on Nov 16, 2009 9:51 PM EST up reply actions  

The jury will decide after 82 data points.

But I’m glad Flip is having success he’s a quality guy

by coachkcastellon on Nov 16, 2009 9:54 PM EST up reply actions  

Just popped in after the win...great job overcoming Haywood Workman tonight.....

…the over the back call on Horford late in regulation was possibly the worst call I’ve ever seen in pro basketball.

Blazer fan here. I won't say good win to y'all ( cuz this game was just ugly ), but I will say GO HAWKS!!!

I would have been ashamed if we won this game. No team should ever win a game when they totally crumble and fail to even get a shot off for 8 consecutive possessions, and score 5 points in 6 minutes in 6 minutes.

I hate to see the Blazers lose, but can now root for the Hawks every game from here on out. JJ definitely outplayed Roy tonight. He is spectacular.

The Blazers and Hawks always have such great games, and I would have liked to see us play at full strength, and not the 4th game in 5 nights on the road, but it was still fun. Be seeing you guys more often as you crush the East!

by dario argento on Nov 16, 2009 9:54 PM EST reply actions  

Thanks for stopping in.

Yeah this was about as ugly as it gets. I feel that the Blazers really match up well with us. Somehow we just came out on top.

I am glad we don’t have to see the Blazers again though.

by Duff_Man on Nov 16, 2009 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

Y'all played well for 5th on road

and missing the Outlaw.

Tell you TV guys that y’all would’ve won if they didn’t insult our PA guy Ryan Cameron
