I have been a Blazer fan since 1970.
My final Bedge comment, replying to Dave's invitation to email him about modding decisions:
Fine.
But you know my objections very well (since you just deleted them), so there's no real profit to be gained in me going through and finding them all and writing it again, is there?
I realize now I broke rule 8 with my prior still extant comment (just above) and my prior now disappeared comment. I had forgotten about that rule. Since I broke it publicly, I want to apologize for it publicly (if you let this post stand).
I also want to thank you for all the good things you've done with Blazersedge. I've enjoyed the site in many ways. I will probably continue to read it at least some of the time. I am extremely unlikely to comment here again. You probably don't really understand my reasons, even if you think you do, but it's probably best not to explain it.
I still wish you well personally, professionally, and in this blog. I hope my contributions over the last few years have been somewhat positive to the site, on balance. Take care, friend.

The Trade: Things We Know/Things I Wonder

I had to end my year-long Bedgecation to rec the Joel and Dante appreciation threads. Two of my favorite players gone, which hurts, but I love Crash's game. Joel made this team better for years, and now he makes it better in the way he leaves. Hopefully, he'll come back and make it better still.

Schedule Analysis
My preseason schedule analysis is up, and it mentions L.A. more than once. I don't usually start threads on other teams' forums, but I thought some people around here might be interested, since the Lakers get several mentions, and I look a little further than stupid things like "15 back to backs, the league is protecting Kobe!!!!!"

The Evil Truth(s) of Blazersedge -- JD 5/1
by jscot on May 1, 2010 6:54 AM EDT
on Blazer's Edge
Tominhawaii recently posted that there is a vast Bedge conspiracy "to cover up an evil truth."
Some may laud his courage for stating this, when others are afraid, but I note the more important fact that he didn't actually tell us what this evil truth is that everyone is covering up.

How strange that a season like this, with all its twists and turns, could go into the history books after just one game, just one more game. It doesn't seem like it is ready to end.

Yes, That Really Does Make Fifty Wins
by jscot on Apr 13, 2010 2:46 AM EDT
on Blazer's Edge
This is to everyone who wrote this season off or gave up on this team at some point.
This is to the guy who said we were more likely to finish with less than 48 wins than 60, because any key injuries would destroy any chance of getting to 50.

Everybody wins the games they should, New Orleans wins to get back to .500, and San Antonio misses a golden opportunity to steal a road win against the Cavs.
Starting today, I'll try to provide daily updates of the game by game tables.

San Antonio gets the big win in Memphis, but loses Tony Parker, Channing Frye works on his enforcer image, and the Blazers get little help around the league.

Game by Game -- Our Schedule vs The Teams Just Ahead
by jscot on Mar 4, 2010 11:01 AM EST
on Blazer's Edge
The Sched Ahead posts (and the Stupid Sched Projections) look at broad categories of games, which is somewhat helpful, but as we get to the short end of the season, it can be more useful to look at specifics. This post intends to do precisely that, by showing side by side our remaining schedule vs. that of the teams just ahead of us in the playoff seedings hunt.
The Teams Behind (from yesterday)
Yesterday's post is already somewhat obsolete due to Houston and New Orleans losing home games. We'll be in the playoffs, and this post is more relevant because it covers our chances of moving up in the seedings.
Douglast did most of the heavy lifting on this post, my spreadsheet provided some of the info, and the wording is my ramblings.

A horrible first half, a great third quarter, and enough to hold on, and a great road trip is capped by a win that buries one of the teams chasing us..

Sched Ahead 3/1/10, Week Eighteen

February is gone, and we roll into the penultimate month of the regular season, still in playoff position, not where we would have liked to be, but still in the hunt for at least an 8 seed, and a good chance at moving up to #6 or 7.

This is obsolete now, someone needs to unrec it.

Well, that was fun, we ought to do it more often. On a day when we're reminded that no game in the NBA is a sure thing (see NJ @ Boston), the Blazers take care of business nicely.

Sched Ahead Daily Update, Games of 2/24
by jscot on Feb 25, 2010 9:48 AM EST
on Blazer's Edge
This season is over, we're done! It's true. I read it on Blazersedge.
Oh, wait, we just whipped a playoff team on the road on a back to back! We're championship contenders! It's true. I read it on Blazersedge!
Oh, wait....
Actually, we're a mid to lower level playoff team in the West that struggles with matching up against some good teams (like Utah or Memphis) and prospers in matchups against others (like Toronto, especially with Bosh out, or San Antonio, or Phoenix). Well, that's what we are at least until we have a healthy center who knows our system, if that miracle should ever happen.
Oh, wait, that's too boring.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS! Yes, that's better. We'll go with that. Well, until Friday night, anyway.

(Date on the header fixed, sorry about that)
Dallas wins, Utah loses, little impact on the Blazers' chances but could impact final seedings and first round playoff opponent.

Lousy way to end the week. Fortunately, some of our rivals are also stumbling, so we are still in decent position, but we've left ourselves some work to do on the road.
