A Time For Heroes,
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls
Well the stale chips were up and the hopes stakes were down
Until Kp came into Town!

the dude is a stud

don’t matter why his face looks hard or aloof or superior or whatever. The dude is a baller and he’s got the heart of a champion. Why don’t we give him props and congrats and lots of love for elevating his craft to such heights. The dude deserves respect and love. That’s all I got to say. Cut out the resentment and the hating. It’s a new era brothers and sisters.

Winning is everything.

Every Blazer gets Hugs and Love!

THAT is my policy. I’ve been arrested a dozen times and I’m not allowed to home games, but I think the players are really appreciative of it.

On that note

The one player who would be for the “Blazers Hugs” policy is Channing Frye, and I love Bayless and I love Frye, but I think it’s fair to say that Bayless =/= Frye.

It’s going to be harder for you to get to any away games, too, now that Seattle is OKC.

I live in California and go to school in Mass.

So I won’t be going to any home games soon :(

but I spent 3/4 of my life in Portland, hence the fandom.

J-Less smiling?

That’s obviously a photoshop job.

Just kidding.

why is this conversation happening?

This young man is serious about his basketball. And He wants to play for the Portland Trailblazers! Who cares which face he wears? He wants to play for OUR team!

by coastrider on Jul 16, 2008 12:20 AM PDT   0 recs

I think it's happening

because many of us have a sense of humor. Clearly Ben is included in this group.

by shralpster on Jul 16, 2008 12:41 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

If Jerryd has a sense of humor

he’ll love this post.

If he doesn’t, we’ll cure him.

That's FOCUS !

I taught my dog Thor to focus from the time he was a pup,
and from the looks of it Jerryd is focused on a treat – WINNING !

LONG LIVE ” STAY HUMBLE” and the next DYNASTY !!!

P.S. – PA, please tell CHARTER & COINCAST TO DO A DEAL !!

It's GO time !

That was good

I was pretty surprised to see him smile and even laugh a little in the post-game interview.

I’m guessing he’s pretty uptight right now – he’s even said he has a lot to prove. I think Dave mentioned after the first game that he seemed to be trying too hard. Personally I don’t think he has to prove anything – going 11th is no shame.

That was so right on lukeyhere.

I found it interesting though that while you were coming to his defense, you insulted his physical attributes at the same time by calling him Rex.

by TwoDeep on Jul 16, 2008 9:41 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Rex.....

I thought the short arm thing was kind of insulting when it first started, but because his arms aren’t really short, I mean like REALLY short, the whole thing is endearing rather than insulting and has grown on me. It’s like you kidding your friend about being dumb, even though he isn’t. Now calling a mentally retarded kid dumb…ok, now it’s crossed over to insult. Damon was mighty mouse because he was tiny, but he wasn’t insulted by it (if he was he must have been really drunk when he got that tatoo).

Jerryd should embrace the T-Rex image as a bloodthirsty carnivore, single minded in purpose, relentless in his pursuit. It doesn’t matter how big his arms are because if you stop to contemplate them, he’s already chewed off your head, spit out the teeth and stuffed another “AND ONE!” down your throat.

by lukeyhere on Jul 16, 2008 10:16 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Rex

is also Latin for “king”, if you prefer.

recs

is when you like a post so well that you rec it, and tell other people to as well. lukeyhere got three of them so far for his brilliant interview, and one of them was mine. He needs two more to be turned green.

Two more recs for the Rex interview, please….

Did he really say

“Both teams played hard.”?

If he did, he’s got a good sense of humor to go with all the basketball talent.

JB would be a perfect Moe'

In a 3 stooge remake. Just throw a black mop wig on his head and lookout!

Jerryd will bring a different personality to the team, is that a bad thing? I say no way, he only will make our team even more interesting than it already is.

Larry Bird kinda handled himself the same way didn’t he? LB seems like he has got a killer instinct to him. Larry would like that (but probably not so much Curly)

Very, very funny stuff Ben.

Hilarious

My wife had to ask why I started laughing in front of the laptop. So I showed her, now we’re both laughing.

The kid is going to be great!

The Boy is a Warrior..

.nuff said.

After watching him in summer league, I think of him as Roy Lite.. a smaller version of BRoy. Less filling and slightly shorter..with a mean streak.

Clearing Room For The Blazers Out West

As the playoff picture begins to take shape it becomes clear that the Western Conference is one big game of musical chairs. There are nine viable playoff teams; unfortunately there are only eight playoff spots. For the Blazers to get a spot, one of last year's playoff teams needs to fall off. Someone's going to be caught standing when the music stops. The following are possible scenarios that could derail each team on their quest for playoff glory, helping the Blazers get back to the postseason for the first time since 2003.

Check out the other scenarios over at Bustabucket
