Deron Williams is there talking to the announcers. I take it to mean he is more committed to his team and winning, than any of the Trail Blazers.

watch the Blazers win the title.

In fanshots.

3:30 AM and I’m already out of new stuff to read on Blazer’s Edge.

Can anyone tell me what to expect? Has anyone had it before?

As I drove down 122nd Ave on Saturday, I spotted what looked like a young punk in a Raider’s cap wearing a JR Rider Blazer jersey. Don’t see many of those jerseys around these days, thankfully.

JR Rider puffed nuggets (or might have been schwag) out of a soda pop can and got busted in the act! Dude that is priceless!

Dwight Jaynes doesn’t like the glare from Canzano’s bald dome (who does really?) and attempting to justify his article on Miles, The Blazers’ front office and the potential HIPPA liabilities…interesting read. http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/story.php?story_id=121728641118861100

I went to ESPN to look at the standings for last year.. and saw Oklahoma as the worst team in the west. Its already started. Gross
OKC is dead last

Its been awfully slow.. lets get some trade proposals going…

I dont know if the blazers are giving up too much for this.. but..

it wont format so copy and paste

TRex in Red…
is here dribbling, hand to hand
There’s nobody there,
it’s just him and he,
it’s where he wanna be,
but he hardly knows… that rock inside his hands,
he’ll never forget… his rookie photo shoot.
TRex in red.

He looks sharp… and small-ish.

Trouble is, it has already signed a contract with Golden State. Kids, please…

And somehow I doubt the Warriors would want to trade Thunder for Squatch.

This story is a little old but I was saddened when I read this part.

3. The father’s lesson. His father, Henry Batum, was a professional player in France for 10 years. “He died on the court when I was 2 years old,’’ Nicolas says. Henry Batum was at the free-throw line when he suffered a massive heart attack.

Unlike his son, he was a thickly built player, a 6-7 rebounder who played under the basket. “Me, I am a wing, so we have not the same game,’’ Batum says. “I think he is watching me.

“I try to finish what he begins. I play basketball also for him. If he is there, I think his wildest dream is to watch me go in the NBA. So I try to make that for him.’‘

His mother, a nanny, raised Batum and his sister, who was two months old when their father died. “My mother is very, very important in my life,’’ he says. “I think if I go to the NBA, she will follow me next year with my sister. Every time I make a good game, she is there. She is telling me, ‘You are good, you will be good next year.’ She is trying to keep me comfortable, to just think about basketball. Don’t think of the girls, the agent, the money. Just think basketball.’‘

I think is nearing the “jump the shark” moment. Which makes me sad. It’s the only show I have to watch this summer. Damn writers strike.

I’m gonna turn totally gay on Jerryd Bayless and then the Baylust will subside. I want to lick chocolate out of that little valley, buff guys get between their abs, on Jerryd Bayless.

P.S. that’s a link to Casey’s blog of Jerryd in a rookie photo shoot.

No More

but how much man/lady power does BE suck out of the work force. BE and other sites like it may be the reason cancer and the cold have not yet been cured.

32% of 163,754 voters think Oden will win ROY.

He’s second to Beasley, who has 36% of the votes.

NBA.com is also ranking him as 4th in their favorites for ROY… are they smoking crack or what? Fourth!? Maybe not first, but fourth!?

If you haven’t heard, earlier this week Denver acquired Renaldo Balkman from the Knicks by trading Taureen Green…

...and now the Knicks have waived him.

Poor guy. that’s a bad week.

poetry, I read this in college but had forgotten entirely about it. Any other gems you want to send our way, I know I would love.

gets better each time I read it

Rockets.

Brian Hendrickson says it might be awhile before we know. KP and Tom Penn are on vacation for a couple of weeks. BH conjectures that it all depends on what Euro teams offer Petteri. If its a team where he’ll get competition they’ll let him sign, if it’s a lesser league the Blazers will sign him.

Gonna be standing in line for tix I’ll never get in
its like the start of the third and I know were gonna win
this game hasnt played out
Quite the way I planned
(Let me tell you what I want)

I want spanking view from an elevated crib
and a kitchen I can play Battlefield in
And a bucket of ribs
Bring enough for twelve plus me
(yea, so you in need?)

I need a new commercial with no love in it
and that luxury box with a red room sinis
Gonna join D Miles high club?
....Its thirty thousand feet
(Been there, done that)

I want a front row seat in the center of the laughter
Porters jersey above hanging from the rafters
Somewhere between Petrie
and Steele’s fine yes we agree
(So how do you want this?)

I’d never trade my life
as a Trail Blazer fan
I’d rather cut down my hair
embark a lker ban

Cuz we all just wanna be Trail Blazer fans
with west hills houses, driving mini-vans
That guy is cheesy but comcasts not cheap
We all hope petteri joins the elite

And we’ll all hang out near our superstars
Future MVP heals bobs former scars
No more gold-diggers gonna wind up there
Every Trail Blazer dancers got that certain flare

Then we’ll bide out time in the summer room
With Thesaurus-dictionary and Daves thoughts anew
He’ll give you everything with that evil cat smile
Every Bedgers got opinions all the while

Hey I am red white and black
Hey I am red white and black

We’re better then Elvis even sporting tassles
Twelve LA Lkers couldnt wipe our
Find another jersey to wear
Cuz Bryants worn out

I think I’ll make this post
bout how I love the passion
Want a front door key to Paul Allens’s mansion
Wanna find a centerfold that loves the
PTB as much as me

Im gonna plagarize songs
offending anyone mensa
Gonna be here forever
Got no fear of the censor
When they ask me why I post all day
I say because I can

I’ll get former Blazers teaching all the moves
Elbow to the chest is what Lucas always proved
Then listen to the fans Bedge how dang good we are

yea like I said word pad is just unacceptable, unlike wordpaint, creator of cat kids.
