Awesome for TP!!!

Congratulations to him.

Good luck next year against those pesky Blazers, TP… you’re going to need it!!!

Blake brings it up on the right, swings it to Webster on the elbow, he moves around the key and passes to the low left block for Aldridge, Aldridge jukes baseline, turns back in and finds Roy cutting down the seam, ROY THROWS IT UP AT THE RIM FOR ODEN WHO THROWS IT DOWN FOR THE TWO HANDED MONSTER JAM!!!

i can't wait

Sorry to completely throw this OT with the first post

But that guy really bugs me. I’m glad we owned him.

Congrats to TP

No longer do we find making the playoffs strange.
We are the chosen, but we don't fear change.
Send us a valid trade offer, and maybe we'll make an exchange. Just don't estrange us by short changing us.

That's why I can't stand him or his radio show

I found it quite ironic that he was bashing us for having character issues, but then made fun of us for moving up in the draft to get LMA and Roy, two of the classiest guys in the draft.
I like most of the folks at ESPN, but I’d rather watch Channing Frye play interior defense than listen to the SAS show

I like his radio show

It’s not on ESPN podcenter no more none. That sucks. I think he’s funny when he’s not being all SAS like.

I noticed that

I just surfed through the podcenter a few minutes ago to see if I could support a claim I was going to make about SAS being a NY homer, but alas—-his pods are down. I wonder if ESPN got sick of his constant stream of silliness or what.

It's funny

His show is always better when it’s just him or just Mike. I don’t know why, but he’s more vulnerable and human that way. They are both better alone. The biggest homer radio guy in the world is Max Kellerman. Worst podcast I ever listened too.

Isn't he the guy who used to do Around the Horn?

I never saw him on it , but that’s what I’ve heard. Was he any good, or did you get the chance to see him?

He was ok

He was a snottier Tony. I didn’t care for him. His voice bothers me too. You can Wiki him.

Terry Porter It already says he’s the coach of the Suns.

Ouch

I just read it too. I really want to see that movie though. Check out his video.

I think Terry Porter will be an excellent coach of the Suns. I look forward to watching him lose to the Blazers in the playoffs.

After the Suns win 71 games next year

and we beat them in the Western Conference finals, I’d like to see us hire TP as an assistant coach, since he’ll undoubtedly be fired by Kerr

If they MAKE the conference finals . . .

. . . it’ll be just the second time they did that since Chuckles took them to the finals 15 years ago.
Probably not cause for a firing.

Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.

hilarious outake on Stephen "A" Smith

shouldnt diminish upon what TP has accomplished. Best wishes TP.

I’m ever so happy for TP.

Good for TP

Lot of pressure on him- not an easy situation despite some excellent talent. I wish him the best.

Congratulations to Terry Porter!

A great guy gets a great opportunity=Great News! It should turn out to be one of the best years of his life. New head coaching job and he gets his Blazer jersey retired!

Good Times! Good Times!

Suns Hate

Darn. This makes it a little tougher to hate the Suns. Porter is one of my all-time favorite players and up to this point, I have rooted for him to find success in the coaching ranks as well. I’ll have to temper that somewhat as I have been fully behind a Suns fall from grace. Good luck…sort of TP

by MrGrinch on Jun 7, 2008 9:02 PM PDT reply actions  

And given that Golub interview, hinting at retiring Porter's jersey . . .

. . . how much will we circle the home dates against the Suns when the sked comes out?

(And I still think there will be a Blazers-L[xxx]rs season opener, too. Can’t WAIT for the schedule!)

It would be more useful if he became a GM

Then he could gift us a Pao Gasol ala Jerry West’s meddling.

Oh Cheese!! Shaq will be calling

TERRY PORTER Coach. Hahahahaha. I love it.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
