Spoil And Shame!

         If you've ever been so unfortunate as to get stuck reading one of my posts, you know I have a tendency to read other sites (the Bedge is #1, we all know it) and then complain about them here. I especially pick on some of the goofy goobers at RealGM. Here it is and I hope any of you that read over there agree: Shut up, you are making us look bad! You mock other teams poor trade ideas and then go try to sell Webster and filler for Kobe (although we don't cross over into Lakers blasphemy, we do this a bit here too). You then talk mad smack to all the other franchises' fans who are unfortunate enough to have a GM that got duped. Don't point out the obvious to people who love their teams as much as we do. Soon KP won't even be able to make a trade because of this talk. And lastly, the reason for this post: Blazer fans have become so spoiled that some of us have the stones to nitpick about receiving a steal of a guard in Bayless? He was supposed to go 4!!! He is the second best guard in the draft! He shows the fiery attitude we swore we missed if Jack left and people are talking smack about it? Go live on the Knicks board, because that's where that kind of attitude belongs-we don't want that here in Portland. We are a team back from the brink, renewed beyond all others in vigor and destiny and you are going to complain about the latest miracle we pulled off because you think he's smug?

For my fellow #25er's

I am too uneducated to link or post pics, and we should support the local media anyways. Go to O-Live and you will see four guys are at the practice facility already working out. Diogu (knee must not be too tweaked), Bayless, Batum, and Outlaw. He said he wanted to be an all-star. Even if he never is, he is going to come back in shape (the main complaint against him has been off-season work, correct?). Look at him watching Batum's high release thinking "that's what my game tape looks like...". It is awesome to see him here already. Looks a tad bulkier too. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see Trout out there with the rooks. And check out the hair-it reminds me a bit of The Glide. Travis is not going anywhere, anytime soon. I will pull a fatty if he does.
