honestly
we almost had it in the early 2000’s but our team image killed our chance..
I think its very possible though if we build the new Beavers stadium next to the rose quarter.. But its probably unlikely.

yes
Its a major possibility. City of Portland needs to build the Beavers a new stadium to bring in MLS. And they are looking at the Rose Quarter as a viable place to build the stadium. There thought process is that the restaurants and such in the area dont get business when Blazers aren’t playing..

One of the writers blogging said Oden was the toughest interview today...
His demeaner was withdrawn and he seemed not at all happy to be there. This is very worrisome. Even if he knew he couldnt play in the game he should be having fun and going out to eat with Bill Russell and David Robinson again. We need to get Robinson as a coach for Greg I think for sure!

1) They are hideous.
2) The numbers are too far down, so you can’t identify players that way.
3) I don’t watch enough NBA to know what all the new players look like, so I can’t just guess based on what team they’re on.

There's one major reason that both Bill Laimbeer and Rasheed Wallace have won titles, ...
with that being defense. Bill Cartwright and Luc Longley are an altogether different matter, as they road the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led gravy train to the promise land.
Joel Przybilla, by the way, is entirely capable of being a serviceable starting pivotman on a NBA title team, for his defensive prowess in the paint is surpassed by few in the league. I, however, would rather see Przybilla in the role of a defensive-minded backup center, although we must definitely appreciate that men of his talent come at a premium there.

GO is going to be a very very solid center for us. He’s going to make multiple all star games, he’s going to be a defensive presence, and he’s going to require attention on offense. Hopefully, he’s going to help us win a few titles.
But somehow I still see myself saying 15 years from now “Man, GO was great, we won two titles, but how many would we have won with KD instead?”

Here's my answer to your hypothetical question: 0.
The only time in NBA history whereby a team led by an offensive-minded wing won it all was 1975, which occurred when an overachieving Rick Barry carried the Golden State Warriors to glory against an arguably superior team (i.e., the Washington Bullets) that was manned by a frontline of rugged, hard-nosed defensive stalwarts in Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes.

entertaining game at least
Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.
Damn, Rudy can't even get a call in the exhibition game.

All Star games don't mean much...
but dang…KD is far away the best player on the court
Is he the best player on the court up close as well?

please elaborate on your question
not quite sure what you are asking
duh...just got it
haha….I walked into that one
And Wade is far away the worst coach on the court for playing Bricklayer Beasley the whole time
The cake is a lie. Trade the cake!
Comparing Oden to Durant is like comparing Wilt to Jordan. It's just not a reasonable comparison.
"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." -Bertrand Russell
exactly
Durant and Roy coulda been Jordan & pippen….
so sad.
Pat Riley said last summer Wade and Marion/Beasley would be Jordan & Pippen. I'm still laughing
The cake is a lie. Trade the cake!
OKC
has some good young players.
Durant, Green and Westbrook. That’s a nice nucleus to build around.
so i'm watching the game on tivo...
…and i’m surprised that i’m the first one to mention that derrick rose was accidentally wearing a blazers warm-up top at about 16 minutes left in the 2nd half. nobody wants to offer this as a glimpse into the future?
Derrick Rose in Trail Blazer warm-ups
Yeah i saw that too and it looked like when Rudy went back to the bench he gave Rose’s Bull’s warm-ups back to him.
Wow.
That’s the best argument yet for taking Durant. That’s a killer lineup.

we had 13th and we traded up to 11
you don’t think we could have traded up to #9 or #10?
DJ Augustin went 9th. DJ Augustin.
Boomshakalaka
but if we take Durant
he plays with the team last year, which means they are better, which means we pick even lower in the draft
fair point
I still don’t think it would have been that hard to trade into the #9 slot and take Lopez.
Boomshakalaka
Lopez was not available when we drafted
That’s like saying we should have taken Chris Paul
The cake is a lie. Trade the cake!
I don't see how drafting someone better than anyone currently on the Blazers
Would put them in a “worse” position.

The theory goes that if we had been "too good", we would not have had the draft picks for Roy, LaMarcus and Oden

Listen the excersize is folish because it didn't happen but we could have drafted a big had we taken KD
KP would have had to chose the appropriate player.
reality is we picked the right person at the time and lets see how it turns out!

And Rudy brick a clutch three...

What? the beasley three won't count?

He had a good look at the clock
didn’t want it to count against his 3pt %
Look, I liked the Oden pick at the time, so I'm not 2nd guessing KP
The microfracture was bad luck.
I’m just saying that, so far, it dos not appear to have worked out well for us… and I say that even though I think Oden is going to be an allstar.
Boomshakalaka
Hate to say it but I love Durants composure and passion and love for the game. All three which were
red flags for oden before he was drafted. Not saying he can never get those but I do not think he is on Durants level.
KP wanted Durant but...
I remain convinced that KP wanted to take Durant but he got persuaded by McMillan, Paul Allen and 80% of Blazers fans and pundits to “take the big man.” as is NBA conventional wisdom.
remember KP’s comments about being a “best player available” kinda guy. and asking everyone to wath the replay of the Texas Kansas game, before they claim that there is no decision….that Oden is the obvious choice.
Despite all the warning signs…Oden only showing flashes in college, the injuries, the lack of KD’s passion/joy/killer instinct…
Watching Durant on the MVP interview is killing me.
Are we sure he’s not a robot ? He has zero personality.

no reason to get depressed.
we got over Chris Paul…well anyway some us did…passing on Kevin Durant is not as bad as passing on Chris Paul…so I have hope that we will get over Durant as well.
I dare him.

You think Oden is taking vitamins and herbs to make his bones stronger?
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
So far this I know...
Kevin Durant will be a superstar for a long time.
Now im getting pissed for passing on him

very true
again, I’m not saying it was the wrong pick (I liked the pick at the time and microfracture was just bad luck), just that so far it’s looking like the results are not god.

What's worse?
Passing on Durant or passing CP3?
To me this is no contest…not even close. Passing on CP3 was the far bigger mistake. And that’s not a slight on Durant. CP3 is just the best pg in the NBA.
Agreed.
I think adding an elite PG to a team helps a lot more than adding an elite swingman.

CP3 will end his career as one of the best 20 players ever. Durant will end his career as one of the best 20 players of his generation. Big difference.
The cake is a lie. Trade the cake!
Please bear in mind that Kobe hasn't yet cracked the top 10 of all time (but would if he wins one more title)
The cake is a lie. Trade the cake!
I think Kobe is up there for his generation...
I guess it depends on how you define his generation…but if don’t include MJ, Kobe is definitely top 10….and this coming from a guy who hates Kobe.
MJ and Kobe are 2 different generations.
If I was picking the 5 best players from the past 10 years I’d go
Kobe
LeBron
Duncan
Shaq
Garnett
Then there’s a host of guys like Paul, Kidd, Nowitzki, Nash, Paul Pierce you could make a valid argument for.

That's really speculating
If we’re talking players from the past 5 years alone, that’s in company with LeBron, Paul, Melo, Wade, Bosh, Deron Williams, Devin Harris, Josh Smith, David West.
Based on potential, Rose, Oden, Mayo, and Beasley could all be added to that list. I like Durant, but I’m not ready to go all Simmons and put him in the top 5 in such a ridiculously talented group of players (some of whom have just cracked their potential, some like LeBron or Wade are continuing to hone their games).

imagine watching
Martell Webster and CP3 in this game…you would be a lot more upset.
Yes. As your mother would say, "look it up."
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
God damn
Everybody jump off the bandwagon now. Go watch Thunder games and sport wood for Kevin Durant. True Blazer fans know Greg holds the keys.
