Stern hates our guts

Because we voted against the rip off at the OK corral and the idea of a small market-semieuro team dynasty is a stench in his nostrils and hinders his plans for world domination but the no mo gangtas in PO thing is good pr for the league and he knows it.

Makes my leg cold

Of course, brass is just as bad in cold weather.

Both can cause black eyes.

Blazers Edge has an alarmist vision and a poet's heart.

Love the comment from Justin Wolfers
Justin Wolfers, Economist
In four words: the Portland Trail Blazers. After going .500 in an Oden-less season, the Trail Blazers have a lot to look forward to in 2008-09. Alongside 7-foot Greg Oden at center, Portland will have the ability to overpower their opponents with 7-foot-1 Przybilla, 6-foot-11 Aldridge, and 6-foot-11 Frye. This combination should drastically improve Portland’s defense, which ranked 21st in blocks per game and 25th in rebounds per game in 2007-08. Likewise, Portland’s offense will be one to be reckoned with as Roy, Outlaw, Webster, and Aldridge (the four Trail Blazers that averaged double-digits points last season) will see more open shots with the inside-outside offense that will result from Oden drawing double-teams down low.

He could have added an economics in-joke: “Assume a perfect roster…”

The demand for a great team with nice players is unusually high

And supply is fairly limited.

True that!

But I’m not sure if I trust the economist right now! :0…..but Our Blazers are definitely heading for a Bull Market!!!!!

…but I do like his taste in basketball none the less!

Go Blazers!

Does anybody else think

David Berri is a guy who thinks he’s a lot smarter than he really is.

Either that or he’s the sort of wanna be Laker fan who gets to hang with the glitterati and therefore is sucking up big time.

hakkaa päälle !
