Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

The Blazers attended a TEAM BUILDING workshop last year!

 

This was on 95.5 yesterday. A caller who knows somone who works with the company who runs the "team building" workshops said the Blazer team went last year. This caller also said the Blazers didn't attend this year. Perhaps the Blazers would benefit if they attended again this year!!!

I also heard that Brandon as a young "superstar" wants to handle the ball. Jordan did at first and it took him 6-7 years to give some of that up for the sake of the team WINNING the championship. I just hope that Brandon will see that letting Andre play his game will bring the Blazers further in this season. And I hope that Nate can get this through to Brandon.  Antonio Harvey said all of this will take time for Brandon. I hope it won't take another 2 seasons.

Am I the only one who vehemently feels that team building workshops are an out-and-out scam?

Then again, I’ve always shook my head at junk like self-help books, life coaches, or any of that claptrap.

Dear Paul Allen:

Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

Yeah

Doing a human knot or other team “game” doesn’t make me trust or like any of the other people at all.

not in and of themselves as team building is just like any other exercise as it deteriorates if not used often.

I thought it was all about hammers and screws

hammers for TO’s head, screws for Greg’s knees, saws for Jerryd’s ego, and tape for Nate’s mouth.

put a body on 'em

come to think of it

the screws should have been for Martell’s foot . . . . I think the heat gun was for Greg’s arse last season.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
