Lebron for me

Because as for Kobe, if we are playing in LA, i know we cant win, but if we are playing in POR, then we have a great chance to win. With Lebron, he can just carry his whole team to mount everest.

"All our holes," says shooting guard Brandon Roy, a surprise All-Star last year in his second season, "are holes that Greg is going to plug."

But you said other

So shouldn’t you fear “other?”

I was at the Cleveland Game

and had gotten my little brother and dad really nice tickets for Christmas, and so we are all amped up, the Blazers have the lead by one the Rose Garden is going crazy…

And then Lebron James takes the ball, heads down the court and dunks right in front of our faces. And the game was over.

Jaws were hitting the floor as Greg repeatedly attempted to tear the rim off the backboard...

Chris Bosh gives me nightmares, but it has more to do with his extremely grotesque looks rather than his basketball skills

Rooo-D!

L@kers.

Is it really a choice?

Ummmm

You guys really lose sleep over Blazers’ opponents? Really?

I’m going to lie awake tonight worrying about you guys.

The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.

Hmmm

How dare any of you admit fear, fear of Kobe, we must not bow to him. He is the enemy.

the dude has torched us for a decade.

He has single handedly ruined my night on far too many occasions.

I hate him, I really do… but I also respect his game. The dude is flat out sick on the hardwood.

Can't forget LeBron

in the 4th quarter. He decimated us. Destroyed. Single-handedly. Crushed. Came back from like a zillion points down.

I don’t lose sleep, but I don’t feel like any lead is safe with him on the court. As for Kobe or CP3 – they just don’t seem quite so invincible against us. We’ve had good luck esp. against the Lakers in previous years.

Chris Dudley for three!
