Blazers Chat with Jason Quick
January 27, 2005
Who will sit and who will start? The Oregonian's Jason Quick
answered this question and more Thursday's weekly chat.
Clip 1 - The Blazers only won one game in Zach's absence. How
can he be hurting this team?
Quick's take:"I think the loudest statement right now is being
made by coach Cheeks, and he said that Zach Randolph
will not be in the starting lineup, and it doesn't
matter if he's 100% or not."
Clip 2 - The guards have been on fire, but Zach returns and they
go cold. Are these events related?
Quick's take:"This team isn't built correctly around Zach yet.
If you're going to play to Zach's strengths, then
you need some spot-up shooters."
Clip 3 - So you've framed this mess pretty well. Now what's the solution?
Quick's take:"For the remainder of the season...they keep the
same starting lineup and when Zach's in there, you
reduce the number of plays that are run through him."
Clip 4 - Will Shareef Abdur-Rahim start when he returns from injury?
Quick's take:"I think Maurice is committed to this new lineup
with Nick, Damon, Ruben, Theo and Joel."
Clip 5 - Any comment on the Phil Jackson rumor?
Quick's take:"I think it's gonna be an option if they day comes
where Maurice Cheeks is no longer the coach of this
team. I think the Blazers will look to Phil Jackson."
Clip 6 - Your thoughts on Damon wanting to be promised a front-
office job with the Blazers?
Quick's take:"I think he would take a role where he would groom
Sebastian Telfair, as long as he knew that at the
end of it, he would be rewarded with a front office job."
Clip 7 - Why didn't John Nash try to trade Woods and Stepania
to Miami for Wes Person?
Quick's take:"That's an excellent question. And I don't have
the answer. I think we could be asking right now
too why the Toronto deal did not go down when it
appears that the Nets gave up far less than what
the Blazers were offering."
Clip 8 - What's the situation with Derek Anderson?
Quick's take:"Maurice Cheeks says it's all about effort with
Derek Anderson. He feels that Derek became complacent
with this team. This is what Maurice Cheeks told
him: I want to see you sweat."
Clip 9 - Is making the playoffs still the top priority for this team?
Quick's take:"Yeah. John Nash said he's not ready to wave the
white flag on this season yet."
