Which Old Player Will Have the Most Impact in This Series?

lol,,

 

Gregory Wayne Oden Jr.

 

Deke!!!! Deke will make Oden look like more of his age: 50 . I hope Barry show up but his performance all year long really let me down. His shot betrays him, he's careless with the ball and slow on defense. Hopefully he's been saving it for the playoff.

 

Deke might not see the floor at all.

 

corrected

 

I hope he does. Deke that is.

 

Important question really, although the poll itself is intended to be a bit humorous obviously.

We got Barry into Rocket Red for his playoff contribution. His smarts and 3 pt shot need to come to the fore at critical times when the Rocks are struggling, losing composure and/or need a big bucket.

Similar with Deke - we held off on signing him and have held him out of most games intending mainly to keep him fresh to provide important spells for Yao... And to scare the shiz out of their guards trying to penetrate the lane.

Am personally confident that Mutumbo is ready to do business. Barry i'm a little more worried about.

 

greg oden is going to retire after this series

 

Deke was Yao insurance, nothing more. If Yao's playing, he's not unless we're going up against Shaq or Howard and we need somebody off the bench who can guard them. He's played in 9 games all year. The 3 he's played in the last month were Golden State (Yao out), Orlando (Howard), and Phoenix (Shaq). If the plan was to save Deke for the playoffs, they would have at least stated working him into the rotation a little towards the end of the season. If Portland had a dominant center that required us to use Deke, then he'd play. But somehow I don't think Przybilla or Oden qualify.

 

Probably Oden...

And hahaha, by the way.

 

tied at 14...

 

Oden? yeah, maybe.

 

Better watch out Brent Barry. This guy scored 24 last year versus Lakers in the playoffs.

 

Barry will definitely play well.. that guy turns it on in the playoffs..

 

Greg Oden for sure.

 

He as out of the regular season rotation in the last few weeks, which doesn't bode well for his chances of making the playoff rotation.

We'll see 4 guys off the bench -- Lowry, Landry, Wafer, and Chuck/Deke.

 

Shane Battier will have a successful series I hope........Not cave in to the pressure of a playoff game

 

I really do hope dikembe gets playing time. If yao's out and prizbilla or oden is in, they need to put dikembe in for rebounding purposes. He helps get us second offensive opporunities. Adelman better put him in the game because if I see in the box score that we were outrebounded in the game and we LOST, I will be pissed. Why sign him if you aren't going to use him for what he's good at? he helps protect the paint as well, the blazers have many slashers who will attack the rim.

 

Haha! Greg Oden is old!


This joke is getting really old.

I'm disappointed with clutchfans when this is the only blazer smack coming out.


Step your game up clutchfans, step your game up.
