The Pritchslap Slapdown

Hey P-town,

You know who he be,

Rip City’s back,

Because of KP.

He makes lots of moves,

But not with haste,

He says to other GMs,

“Tell me how my ass tastes.”

His name is Kevin Pritchard,

He does Jedi mind tricks,

He did it last year,

To the New York Knicks.

He conned them into taking,

A black hole named Zach.

This year, it’s Indiana,

They took Jarret Jack!

Sorry Indiana,

I ain’t hatin’ on yo’ boys,

But look at Minnesota,

They coulda had Brandon Roy.

And just ask the Bulls,

They’ll say he’s sicker than a virus,

Instead of LaMarcus Aldridge,

They got stuck with Tyrus.

He doesn’t bleed just red,

The man bleeds red and black,

And when he makes trades like these,

We call that the Pritchslap.

Sick rhymes dude.

But I gotta concur with Timmay that we really oughta stop using the term “Pritchslap.”

For one thing, it’s based on the term “bitch slap,” which is demeaning and degrading to women.

For another thing, as Timmay points out, it is condescending toward other GMs and other teams. Let’s try not to seem conceited and boastful. Such attitudes do not fit with our team culture.

Winning is everything.

Hey, why not be boastful and conceited???

After all, the Blazers ALMOST had a winning record last year. When you count up the playoff victories and rings this city has enjoyed since KP took over we have every right to CROW all we want.

Oh, wait… the Blazers haven’t won anything since KP took over and haven’t won anything in years.

I think the “Pritch-slap” thing was clever at first but I agree it’s now become tedious and counterproductive. It’s time to move on. I’d like to see PDX win with class rather than descend to the behavioral level of those fans and franchises we despise. It’s way more fun when you truly are superior rather than just claiming it.

which is demeaning and degrading to women

...in some peoples opinions.

come on, dude

Using the word “bitch” to characterize a person you don’t like is demeaning and degrading to women. That isn’t an opinion. We all know that the term “bitch” is used almost exclusively (except by dog breeders) as a derogatory term for intemperate women, or for women whom the user simply doesn’t like.

Talking about “slapping” a “bitch” is even more demeaning and degrading. Not even a real bitch (a female dog) deserves to be slapped. To casually speak about slapping someone is demeaning and degrading. That is not an opinion.

“Bitch slap” means to strike a subservient woman. It is an inherently offensive and demeaning term, and it is customarily used against women. These are not opinions.

We live in a culture which tolerates and often glorifies violence against women. If we wish to change this sickness within our culture we would do well to avoid expressions such as “bitch slap.”

Winning is everything.

Agree

The whole pritch-slap thing was clever, but it’s rude and has a bad connotation.

But otherwise, the rhymes were good. PG 13 language could have been done without.

smackdown

what are u people religious!!!!! ....do u people truly realize what KP has done to the rest of the league!!!!!! what we are seeing is unprecedented in the modern sports era…..the only other organization that i can think of that has done what KP and his amazing staff has done is the boston celtics of the 60’s!!!! ainge, mchale,paxson, jordan, coangelo, bird…...these are not just any ordinary names in NBA history…..all these people are extremely smart with a ton of basketball knowlege. so with that said the only appropriate term i can think of is the almighty “PRITCHSLAP” may it live in infamy forever!!! i also want to thank the person who coined that phrase and the DONKEYBUDDHA for throwin down a sick rhyme.

I AM NOW A PRITCHNEESI ALONGSIDE DAVE,
GO BLAZERS AND WAR THE PRITCHSLAP SMACKDOWN

Um...

Instead of five exclamation points, try a question mark next time.

"I think it’s going to be very beautiful game next year."

Okay, I have great expectations for the team

but the reality is they haven’t done diddly yet. The last time I checked- though I hate to admit it-Ainge has won more rings (i.e. current reigning champions) than Pritchard and it’s been claimed that Ainge has been slapped the worst. That’s the scoreboard.

Heck, winning the division would be a good first step.

What I’m saying is I don’t like all the mouthing off to begin with and I especially don’t like it when the Blazers have yet to accomplish anything of ANY significance yet.

My guide is WWRD? (What Would Roy Do?) Not WWSD (What Would Shaq Do)?
