Blazer shooting has been a dis mal 37% through the first two games, and the defense seems to lack the intensity needed to get the crucial transition game going. Blazer forward Jerome Kersey summed up the Blazers efforts pretty well after the 106-92 loss to the Ho> ton Rockets Sunday night. “ Our whole game, we re sputter ing,” said Kersey w ith looks o f disar ray. “ We need tohavc more discipline on the court.” Sunday’s loss to the RockcLs was the first home-opening loss since 1986, when the Blazers lost to Seattle 127-110. The Blazers arc settling for the quick outside shot that has haunted them in the past. “ W e’ re putting a lot o f pressure on ourselves” , said Clyde Drexler. Maybe the Blazers are rushing their shots a little,-b ut other teams know the Blazers are a poor ouLside shooting team that w ill settle for the outside shot The Rockets just packed in the paint and let the Blazes shoot from the perimeter. The Blazers shot 42 o f their 85 shots from 16 feet and out. The Rockets seem to control the tempo o f the game w ith Hakeem Olajuwon taking were he left o ff last year and leading the rockets with 29 points and seven assists, both team highs. “ The difference tonight was de fense,” said Olajuwon. “ We made them, for the most part, shoot from the outside." One o f the biggest applause dur ing the night was for former T ra il blazer M ario Elie. Elie sparked the Rockets with eight points, eight re bounds, and w ith six dishes. Elie seemed to find a good place for him self in Houston as the Rockets first man o ff the bench. “ I f we tan stay healthy and con tinue to execute like we should, we should have a great season,” said the former B la/erguard” “ I enjoyed com ing back here for Portland’s opener, this town has been good to me and it was great to see all my friends and former teammates.” The Blazers should get their chances to rebound early, with 13 games in 26 nights including eight home-court contests in November. The talent is there for coach Rick Adelman entering his sixth season as head coach o f the Trailblazers. Get ting the right players on the court and encouraging better shot selection from the Blazers half-court offense w ill be important for Blazer coaching. Som e highlights for the Blazers is the play o f Drexler and C lifford Robinson so far. The first round draft James Robinson played in the first two games and seemed to play both ends o f the court well. The problem is that The Blazers need contributions from seven,eight, nine players toplay in N BA with success o f the past STATE FOOTBALL 4 A PLAYOFF PAIRINGS UPPER BRACKET South Eugene (7-2) vs M cKay (7-2) G lencoe (6-3) vs W ilson (9-0) Lakeride (7-2) vs Jesuit (7-2_ R oseburg (5-4) vs C entennial (9-0) M cNary (6-3) vs T ualatin (8-1) M arshall (6-3) vs Pendleton (8-1) Beaverton (7-2) vs M arshfield (6-3) Sandy (6-3) vs A shland (9-O) LOWER BRACKET Benson (7-2) vs G rants Pass (8-1) North E ugene (6-3) vs Lebanon (9-O) Crook C ounty (5-4) vs G resham (7-2) Hillsboro (6-3) vs Canby (8-1) North M edford (7-2) vs Franklin (8-1) Lake O sw ego (5-3) vs W illam ette (8-1) David D ouglas (6-3) vs B endf (5-4) Sprague (6-3) vs Sunset (8-1)
