Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

The Loooong Ball !

     With the announcement of Rudy coming to the NBA and the

Trailblazers, the fans are juiced about his unique package of

dunks, step-back threes and alley ooops off the dribble. I think

one factor in Rudy's game being overlooked is his speed up

the floor and our other rookie's ability to go looooong !

     The plain fact of the matter is that with GO in the middle

working the defensive boards, we will have more leak outs

by Martell, Smooth and now Rudy. GO showed some nice

outlet ability in his highlight package and I think it will be

a unexpected surprise this year. Rudy's highlight reel showed

excellent transition speed and handle in order to make him

one of our Runners. If we could only draft Westbrook at # 13,

we would have that final piece in a lockdown defender at the

PG (combo), who can really fly up the court and finish !

I smell something baking and I think it's a CAKE.

Who's Smooth?

I thought that was Kevin Durant’s nickname?

Kevin Durant — Nickname: KD, K-Dog, K-Smoove, The Second Coming

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Durant

The name's Ainge, Danny Ainge. Fear our team; fear it's range.
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.

LMA = Smooth

He’s 6’11” and has the smoothest “Top of the reach” jumper. It’s MONEY !

It's GO time !

ok gotcha

I’d always heard LMA, LA, LaMarvelous, or L-Train

I guess smooth works too. Hopefully Sergio rethinks his life and works on his game this summer. Would love to have him fast breaking.

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.
