Portland is matched up again with the Sacramento Kings tonight. The story in Portland is the "funk" that Joe Pryzbilla, that defensive gem... known as Pryz, says he has found himself in recent games. This guy is 7'1 and he is averaging exactly 0 points per game in his last three contests. Honest, he has shot 0-2 in total, for those three games. Can you imagine, he's taken only two shots in three games, and he missed them both!
This Pryz guy's mental "distractions" are getting downright ominous. He gets paid millions of Blazer bucks... this guy needs to shake his anxiety and quit looking over his shoulder, at the bench! Instead, Pryz needs to concentrate on finishing a play, or making the pass reception necessary for a simple layup. He also needs to do it, more than once or twice a game. I dont see why he cannot dominate the young 6'9 center Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Pry should be not only blocking this kids shot, heck, from behind if he has to- but also he needs to stuff that leather ball in the hoop on offense and bounce it off the boys head!
Honest to God. If this guy cant handle a simple pick and roll pass, and finish it, then he SHOULD be planting his million dollar butt on the fence! He should be freely willing give up his minutes, then give the ball to the next guy who isnt wearing concrete shoes. There is always, the next one- who can jump and possibly shoot the ball!
Portland (14-23) will be coming into Friday's game having lost nine of its last 11, bouncing off the Wednesday 99-74 rout at Dallas. The Sacramento Kings (14-18) are ranked 11th of the 15 teams in the West 12.5 games back. Portland is at number 12, but 15 games back. At any rate, we need to put a game together.
Hey Coach! When in doubt we all say, go to LMA!
