I don't think anyone has been more impressive than

Robin Lopez? What?

I’m assuming they wanted some big men since they had Rose and OJ going there already, but…...Robin Lopez?

That's a bunch of horse pucky!

Maybe they thought that he’d just keep driving the lane over and over again and they were afraid of the chance that Kobe could get injured by Jerryd Fear-less!

Wrong

They didn't even get the good Lopez.

They got the center Lopez which is what they lacked

(also apparently the better defender)

Once again people are going by need and not BPA

The thing of it is look at the roster

LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers);
Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City NBA);
Jeff Green (Oklahoma City NBA);
Luther Head? (Houston Rockets);
Al Horford (Atlanta Hawks);
Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers);
Kevin Martin (Sacramento Kings);
O.J. Mayo (Memphis Grizzlies);
Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls)
Rodney Stuckey (Detroit Pistons).

The tallest guy is LMA and that is only 6’11 followed by HOrford at 6’10 and that is all the post players they have. HOw the hell did Head get on the roster?? Anybody know?? Its like a game of which one of these things is not like the other. Bayless is head and shoulders above Head even at this point.

The why did Dave say..

that Bayless wouldn’t play tomorrow because of his commitment to the select team?

Dave?

I guess he is playing

Monty said so in the video on the main page. Nice!

Weird

Dave and the Oregonian thinks he’s going. I’m thinking there’s a little miscommunication going on somewhere.

The practice team had 6 guards and 4 forrwards and no center

So Love and Lopez (the Center) help balance the squad. Probably never intended to add another guard. Did Brandon Roy decline to play this year?

I think he did decline. I believe he had commitments to training camps for kids

~~that he didn’t want to renege on~~ on which he did not want to renege. Cheese english is clumsy. Brandon’s a stand up guy.

Yeh

Online I try to write the way I talk…...lots of pauses…..and not much thought given to proper grammar. The purpose of language is to convey thoughts and I (and you too) do just fine usually. I do try to spell correctly …..but not to the point of paralisys (sp….see).

He'll cover Pierce's camps during the finals

and won’t leave his for the Olympic nod. That’s a real man who knows his priorities. We are lucky.

by MGNNoah on Jul 20, 2008 7:44 AM PDT 0 recs

He did not get a olympic nod

He got invited to the select team. Just to play against the olympic team. He is an all star, he has nothing to prove. He knows he can play at the highest level. Rest is more important for Broy.

As Jimmy Stewart would say

Schwell fellow!

The practice squad is intended to form the core for the next cycle of USA teams ending with the 2012 Olympics. I can see Portland with maybe even 4 players on that team. At least they would know each others’ preferences.
