Good to know we will have this as a reminder. It hurts, but it's a beautiful hurt. Brandon, please finish the project you started this year. The journey part one, needs a conclusion. I know this was not the ideal outcome, but it will be an important transition into the off-season. Perhaps the biggest we have had in many, many years. I have every confidence you will capture the moment as I have a feeling we are gonna have a huge off-season.
TiMB I guess we will have to agree to disagree. We are coming from to different aspects. I just like what coach said about not pointing fingers, they win and lose as a TEAM Its the same my coach taught us and the same way I coach. We don't point fingers. They just did not need him tonight, simple as that. Ray gets my support as does every member of the team, that's all. Go Blazers.
TiMB Look and watch again, he was pulled because the game was done. If you want to know more about it listen to what coach has to say about Ray or Jamal, I think they carry more weight then random guy on blog. Look again.
Look again,Ray did not need to do anything tonight--lol. By the way, anyone catch Nash's sad numbers? Ray was guarding him. Looks like Ray did do a lil work that largely goes thankless. Look again.
Thank you for pointing out Mathews sloppiness. I would say you are being kind. He was flat out bad on the offensive end. His defense was good, but faded. We knock down a few of those wide open misses and we win this game. Breathe easy Blazer fans. As a ball player myself, I can attest, this is all fixable. The shot s will start falling and when it does, you will be looking at a 120+ game comin our way. I say we win both games at Toronto and Detroit.
Hmmm im just sayin..hmmm , do I have to dust off my Mcfarlane statue of Rasheed in his Blazer uni?
Yeah, I can agree with that TIMB. It's just funny cause Camby goes down and the whole team unravels. Just shows how vital a center is for this club. That center position opens up everyone else. Camby comes back and our consistency will follow.
Have to agree, this 3 game streak has been upsetting. As far as the same ol Blazers comment? sure ill take that, except they are not playing like the same ol Blazers, they are playing worse, at least, for the moment. Things will turn around, and the tea m will get fired up.
How much would you like to bet you are not the most competitive person on here, let alone combined..lol what a statement. Name your price.
Snug_Leephilthyanimal Thanks Snug, but he is right, he is entitled to his own opinion. On all topics. and it's ok to disagree.
philthyanimal Watch again, you missed the part where he played. Trust the Blazers staff, they have a bit more experience in researching talent ;). Give the kid some time, he has great handles and the shot will come. He is a decent dude as well. Get to know someone before blindly bashing. We are a team, lets stick up for one another. Save the hate for the opposition.
Hmm, not gonna read too much into this post as the author fell asleep during the game..Ahem..boo. For those who stayed awake, they saw a very entertaining game, and Babbitt did a lot more than wear black socks. If you can, try to find a feed and enjoy:)
brandonmitchellSnug_Lee He will be back, he just needs to shake off 2 seasons of rust..hes practicing everyday!
TiMB Closer to fact does not make it fact. Does not matter on belief, it just simply does not hold up. Chads word is not fact, especially since it's been conflicted. Smokescreens are used daily in the NBA, its a method to get media off players backs. Coaches and GM's have been doing it for decades. Bottom line, it's just a rumor. Fact: Oden is practicing everyday with the team, This has been proven. It remains unfounded until proven.
TiMB I saw it on the live stream of Fan Fest, it was like the last play of the game. Pretty damn incredible. I dont think they have uploaded the whole scrimmage.
LOL at the end of the game he did a 360 two hand windmill!! No one seemed to catch that on video. This kid better get a dunk contest invite, or i'm done. Rudy got one and he is no where near this level. This kid reminds me of Clyde and Nique and Jordan, yeah, he has that kinda hop.
You forgot Kurt Thomas in that second unit..and G.O.!
Love this Ode to 24. Really showed how good Dre was/is. Another epic video tribute Brandon.
#2 spoken like someone who has never played ball. You will have to learn the hard way. Just remember to admit you were wrong. *Chuckles*
philthyanimal I'm fairly certain it is a rumor. No evidence has been given. Until then, we will just have to see. All I know is Greg is practicing with the team. That is a fact. I think they are just being extra cautious, and keeping details away from the media so Greg can continue to get back without the same moronic questions being asked him. Let's just say I hope I'm right:)
I think Roy wanted Crawford to come here. I think Crawford wanted to be here for Brandon and be close. I like this, he will bring a nice energy and hey, he is Brandon's good friend! They have similar games and Crawford can really light it up like B-Roy.
Alas, it has sunk in for me, and I hate it and am not taking it well. This new news has helpwed knowing who Crawford is.
