you mean “have their testicles shrivel up to the size of raisins and be eaten by badgers” then yes, I’m rooting for the L*kers to win the finals.

Sounds like Mr. Paul Allen was in attendance for this workout. If Paul Allen is in attendance, people are getting drafted! I wouldn’t be shocked if we got the French guy too. He sounds like an interesting prospect, and this is his 2nd workout with us in a short amount of tiime.

Sounds exciting. Good reporting gentlemen!

Can you develop a “thickness” scale for future reports, so we can get an idea of who is thick, thicker, thickest?

If GMs play a “poker” prior to the draft with their comments on prospects, thenPritchard priobably has a “tell”. What is it? The number of times he uses the word “character” or “well schooled” when describing a player? A smirk when he talks about a player’s defense? Is he more likely to be critical of future selections??? I’m sure some one on this board is obsessed enough to look over his comments from past drafts and figure it out. Please do and report back soon.

“Ty is just a power guard.”. I swear, we really are going to redefine the positions… If BRoy and Rudy flip flop at pg and sg, why not interchange a few other positions too. Someone did suggest LMA as a pg so maybe he & Ty could work together on becoming power guards… We’d eventually become the team no one could match up with because everyone can play 3 to 5 positions…

30/40 3pters huh? May be looking better and better. Also there is a rumor out there that someone in the OLive forum saw Eric Gordon in town, any word on a workout from Mr. EG? Could just be he is in town to talk to Nike or Adidas or if Greg is in town they are both from Indy and played AAU ball o n the same team.

I am starting to think that it will be either Gordon or Westbrook if we stay in the draft. Both would bring the athleticism, and from what you are seeing, Westbrook may be able to bring the shooting that KP has said that we need.

Im intend to donate Dave to your summer league plans but I must reconsider if you are honestly wanting them to win,,,

If he keeps having great workouts and showing off his lanky, strong body, he’ll never be available at #13. WHAT A JERK FACE, am I right?

Time to tank it so you can drop to the best team in the lottery, pal!

was so distressed to hear about your Laker fanship that he threw Mclovin’ off a cliff after a dogfight.

Again, I’m not expecting Nate to pencil him in as the starter. If KP decides to keep the pick, then he should go after the best player who ALSO has the skills we need, and Westbrook fits that description perfectly. He’ll have time to discover and grow into his role on team, whether it’s as a starter or reserve, and in the meantime, he already plays such great defense and is so athletic that Nate can bring him in right from the start to harass opposing guards into meek submission. I’m not saying other lottery picks don’t have skills too, but Westbrook has no downside like being under six feet tall, being a gunner, getting arrested, or goofing-off during workouts, either.

After shooting well in Orlando and here for the pre-draft workout, what are witling Russell Westbrook detractors going to do? They have already attacked his shortcomings, like lockdown defense and remarkable athleticism. Great athletes never succeed in the NBA. Sure, he’s already good in transition and can distribute the ball in the halfcourt, is a gym rat with a nice wingspan and is very coachable and intelligent…but more important than that, which busts and players known for athleticism or defense that he is nothing like can he be guaranteed to become version 2 of/compared to next? We’ve already heard Tyrus Thomas, Corey Brewer, Fred Jones, Aaron McKie, Jarrett Jack…I’m predicting he becomes the next Qyntel Woods, with a little bit of Robin Lopez to him. And Paul Allen was there? Doesn’t he know Westbrook doesn’t belong anywhere near Blazers facilities? But seriously, though Westbrook wouldn’t be my top choice in this draft, I think he would be a good fit in Portland, and people say some ridiculous things about him from time to time.

this is interesting http://nbadraft.net/profiles/qyntelwoods.htm

but i don’t think he’s going to be there if we stay pat at 13, i could see the Clippers (7), Bucks (8), Pacers (11) or even Kings (12) take him, even though I think Augustin would be a better fit for both the Pacers and Kings. Augustin wouldn’t be bad for us either, my only worry being that at 5’11, we’ll still be abused by bigger point guards.
And as far as Westbrook having a questionable ‘j’, i heard he hit 36 of 50 3-point shots in a drill he went through today. Granted its different in games, but thats still 72 percent from distance!

thought that KP would draft best player available unless he sees someone he really likes and goes all out to get that player. I hope that Westbrook becomes the latter. If Russell didn’t play well enough at the workouts to have KP fall in love with his game then I ‘d be fine if we went with another guy. With his defense and quickness in the open court and now we find out that he might have a jumpshot…......damn, WE GOTTA GET THIS GUY.

You’re on notice.

On second thought, maybe it’s not unnatural. I recall standing along the docks in a town in Sardina, waiting for the overnight ferry to Chiteaveccia (the port city for Rome). I came across this crowd of Italian guys all laughing and having a good time. When I walked up to see what they were watching, it was two dogs copulating. I’m wondering what’s so funny about it (or thinking these people are really, really bored) when I notice that both the big dog and the smaller dog were males. (Guess whom was doing whom.)

I still thought these guys must be bored, as it wasn’t really funny. (I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the smaller dog.) But it is an indication that the act may be natural, in a sense. I’ve also read about documented evidense of whales engaging in male on male rape. Damn, it’s a hard world out there. Who knew flagging was so widespread?
