Trying out my new sig

So many to choose from in this article, but you can only use one.

The Spanish Air-mada

When the two execute a play, the Rose Garden scoreboard beams “The Spanish Connection,” complete with a flag of Spain. The two have taken notice of the slogan, but neither is very fond of it. Rodriguez prefers his own: “Spanish Armada.”

This quote made my day. We are so close to getting “The Spanish AIR-mada” as part of Blazer lore! C’mon people, pimp this phrase!

We need T-shirts and bumper stickers, pronto

If people made T-shirts of this, I would totally buy one.

Gotta admit

Spanish Armada>Spanish Connection

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

The problem with Spanish Armada

is that the Spanish Armada sank before it even went into battle….

Yes, but Luol Deng and Ben Gordon are the closest thing to a "British Storm" in the NBA

I still think the "Spanish Inquisition"

might be the coolest of all.

Ok, I'll bite

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Our chief element of surprise is the alley-oop . . . and the three pointer.

the Spanish Armada sank before it even went into battle….

But that’s why “AIR-mada” is so cool…It sounds like Armada, but the only thing that “sinks” is the basketball going through the hoop!

It’s like Spanish “redempton” Sergio and Rudy are putting a fresh, positive “spin” on what was a dark chapter in the history of Spain.

I emailed Barrett that he and Rice have to drop the “connection” and go with “AIR-mada” We’ll see if they feel the love

Hi!
In Spain we called ‘Armada’ at each group of spanish sportmen who are going to compete against other sportmen. It doesnt matter the sport which we are talking about…
So, for example, we called the ‘spanish Armada’ at the group of spanish tennis players who go to play at US Open.
This word isnt linked with the Armada defeat by Brits!!!

Quick´s mistake

He says they have played together for 5 years on various teams in Spain, that´s not correct, they have only played together in the Spanish National Team in 2-3 competitions ( 2006 World Championship and a pair of European Championship, I think). This makes his connection more remarkable since it´s more instinctive than a mechanical thing.

Maybe they also played together for national teams before their eighteen.

Spanish Fly!

Make the fans stand erect and cheer when Rudy goes in for a high flying alley-oop from Sergio! Pistol Pete Maravich inspired passes Fly from any and every direction. Put their first names on the back of their jerseys for home games.
