The Dontonio Wingcast Episode 014

Can someone give BlazerABE a bleeped remix?

 Marc Gasol, Jonas Jerebko, Ersan Ilyasova, Rodrigue Beaubois, Omri Casspi

OR

Anthony Randolph, Thad Young, Johnny Flynn, Joakim Noah, Marcus Thornton

I, however, also think that Jerryd Bayless’ game is better suited for Rucker Park.

Here’s my one suggestion…

Play hard. Play with pride. Play for the city of Portland.

That’s all we ask.

If you guys suck, but you played hard, no one’s going to hold it against you. You know what I mean? That’s been a trait of the Blazers going back 40 years — if you’re a hard-working player you will get your name up like Lloyd Neal, you’ll get your name raised in the rafters with your jersey retired. All you have to do is wreck your knee from playing hard and you will be an all-time legend here as a Blazer. But people do not EVER put up with players loafing.

The Blazers’ fans were booing last week, they were booing the team’s effort — you heard it during the Memphis game. * * *

The one thing that needs to happen, from the top down, Brandon Roy included — YOU NEED TO BRING SOLID EFFORT. Getting booed off your home court in November is not a good look. Blazer fans do not stand for that.

Amen.

Classic, but now I wouldn’t be surprised to hear an ESPN reporter erroneously state that in a game recap or box score.

Keep the Wingcasts coming, I dig them and it gives me something to listen to at work. Thank you KP and Ben.

I sent my list to blazersedge @ gmail

I also liked Martell Fernandez

What Timbo pointed out was nice as well.

I think after listening to this podcast and reading Dave’s post, that maybe Miller should start. He’s a whiner who is willing to go to the national media if he doesn’t start and with Dave’s idea of getting Oden going first, Miller starting kind of makes sense for once.

1. Lamar Odom – any dude who ties the knot after 3 weeks to a woman who is only famous for being the sister who is famous for being a daughter and having a large and shapely derriere is definitely intriguing. My money says that he will be the subject of many more tabloids in the upcoming season. Due to the fact that they got married so soon, I will speculate that Odom has some All Star level shower presence, and that being married to Khloe has gotten him to not whine about his role on the team.

2. Ron Artest – I hate to add another Laker to the list, but right now he is the most relevant colorful personality that could blow up at any second. His dynamic on the team will surely be tested when the season is nearing a close.

3. Marko Jaric – how can this guy nab Adrianna Lima? I mean c’mon…hes not even an elite talent at the NBA level and has crooked face with beedy eyes. That porno stache is so 80s.

As far as surprises go

4. Brandon Jennings
5. Joakim Noah

C: The new Nazr Mohammed – Great looking jumper, effective on the boards and blocking shots. A quintessential Larry Brown player.

PF: Craig Smith – The oft overlooked power 6’6"er, that thrives underneath the hoop on pure hustle.

SF: Smart Jason Richardson – Not to be confused with the Jason Richardson of old. This guy gives the ball up when he doesn’t have a wide open look or hasn’t gotten himself in an easy position to finish. He even attempts defense on occasion.

SG: Ronnie Brewer – Always the last guy you think of when you talk about the Jazz. Great defender solid finishing ability, interesting and rare fit in the Jerry Sloan system.

PG: Darren Collison – In Paul’s absence Collison has played admirably. A great defensive player and complete if basic offensive player, He’s can be a flash, but doesn’t live off that speed like most guys of his type do.
