Blazers 5-on-5 Scrimmages have begun!

Nice to hear about that. If hopefully everything goes according to plan, GO will be ready for pre-season

Roy...

what a wuss.

Watching from the sidelines and all… I bet he faked the knee injury and subsequent surgery just to avoid being the first one posterized by Oden in 5-on-5’s.

Wimp.

What was Pritchard thinking bringing in cancers like that? We need more high character guys on this team

by inroywetrust on Aug 28, 2008 1:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

oh, you didn't hear about the arrangement?

KP’s set something up with D’Antonti. We’re shipping Roy, Outlaw and RLEC to the Knicks for Marbury, so you don’t need to worry about that cancer issue any more. Marbury will right this sinking ship, I promise you.

Remember, in KP we trust. He always has a plan.

are you guys joking?

Marbury quit on his team last year and isn’t a good character guy at all. Plus, why would we trade a guy that was an allstar in his second season for a me first pg that’s past his prime?

Cuz'...

Marbury is a STUD!

I mean, the guy keeps his own private jet. And he’s a straight up Brooklyn Ballah’! What’s NOT to love about him?

And Roy? Psh. Baron Davis should’ve had that last All-Star spot, cuz Roy is a fake. He’s a flash in the pan. You’ll see the drop off in his game this year.

How much better can Roy get?

Every year he’s played, I’ve said he has reached his ceiling and I was right each time. He doesn’t take over games and doesn’t lead the team and needs some veteran leadership next to him.

Plus he isn’t athletic and has reached his ceiling. He’s a nice story for the Jail Blazers, but overrated.

Well this argument is tired you are obviously super sensitive

and in your feelings because I called out for making an innapropriate comment. No different than the 100 posts after my “biker-slaying” comment . I didnt try to debate their every word after that.

Point is you said something that struck me the wrong way. I stated what was on my mind and left it at that. Now you are unable to deal with this for whatever reason and have ecided to become snide and immature your self. Why are we still arguing? Get over yourself.

Immature? Right, you stated that the next time Miami comes to town you would scream your apology at him… sounds like a sincere comment to me.. no sarcasm detected there. Hmm. I told you to get over it. No listen to me carefully sagebru5h

GET OVER IT!

As I stated we can meet , in a dark alley behind the Rose Garden and throw down. Im not afraid of a fight.

all in good fun, Sophia.

…it was not my intention to get under your skin. i apologize. I think the tone of my comments has been misinterpreted as something it is not. i try to be obvious with my sarcasm, but its seems any sincerety is often overlooked or mistaken as sarcasm.

I do enjoy corresponding with you and the other BEdgers, but would hate to continue causing trouble. I’d ask for suggestions as to how I might better denote my sarcasm and my sincerety, but I fear such a question would only be interpreted as yet more sarcasm.

Do others interpret my comments as being snide and immature? My intention is simply to joke and have fun with you all. To help us all get through the work day, not to cause drama. I’d appreciate some other imput as I try to resolve this problem.

"The next day in practice, if you sweat, it's going to come out of your pores, regardless. If you ask any coach around the league how many times they have smelled liquor on a player . . . As long as that player is showing up on time, doing the drills and running, that's part of it. But there have been times, yeah. Yeah, you probably smelled liquor on me. But it's not like I'm at practice drunk. I'm totally focused."

I agree

every player signed by the Blazers this week is being brought in as a pucnhing bag so that out black unit doesn’t trash the white unit before preseason. Or is it the other way around (1st and 2nd unit is way easier to remember). Anyway, its better to break a few scrubs than any of our 12 active players.

Little known fact: Rudy Fernandez once roundhouse kicked Chuck Norris in the face while simultaneously dunking on it.

by In Walks Rudy on Aug 28, 2008 5:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Right on

I’m curious why this hasn’t made as big a splash as the first two-on-two scrimmages. We haven’t even seen pictures. The Blazers public relations group has been especially effective in kindling fan excitement over Oden’s return throughout the year by opening his rehabilitation sessions and gym workouts to the media, and you’d think they’d release more clips of Oden dunking home a Blake lob and bending back to his knees for a long breather. This raises a couple of questions.

First of all, is Oden still in poor shape? As excited as I got about the two-on-two clips, that footage did not demonstrate he was capable of full court intensity quite yet. He simply does not have the lungs for it. The fact that the five-on-five footage has not been released suggests he might not look as good as the company man Wheeler suggests. A useful comparison would be to compare the media quotes of Oden’s two-on-twos — I thought that he was going to breathe fire and terrorize the Tualatin citizenry based on the outrageous quotes from Pritchard and Barrett — alongside the footage that eventually came out, which was good but not quite “jaw dropping”. I do remember nodding and smiling a couple of times.

Second — and this does not apply only to the current situation — why aren’t all practices open to the media? Or if that disturbs the gameplay (which, really, it shouldn’t, because think of all the distraction these guys have every game), why don’t they have one of those police interrogation room one-way glass walls? As a matter of fact, if they had one of those, and we could be treated to a live stream of every Blazer practice, we could dismiss a lot of the Blazer management’s comments to the press given the evidence of our own eyes.

it’s way cool that JB and Martell & LMA & Oden are already getting some time together. That’s a core unit right there. & Blake too of course. just very solid to know these guys are working so hard and acting like professionals to get their job done.

and we know what their job is. even if we don’t then they so. they know. make the playoffs and then take it from there. I won’t be surprised if EVERY single player passes mac’s training camp day one conditioning tests on the first try. last year Outlaw was out of shape ain’t going to happen again.

Where they are/or aren't.

KP and Mac wanted Rudy to take 3 weeks off after the Olympics. Rudy not only had the regular season, but Spain won the Europeon championship, and then he went straight to the Olympics. It’s called a little R&R. You can bet he’s in game shape though.

Raef I don’t care about, and Ike, Pryz and Travis I don’t know about. Travis puzzles a little, whereas Pryz and Ike seem to be around. Maybe Pryz is still rehabbing and not quite ready for 5 on 5.
