Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

I read this and was surprised that it hadn't been posted. It is a great insight into his thoughts and feelings.

I thought this was a good find.

It is always interesting to see the player’s perspective.

Knowing that Sergio is enthused to still be a part of the team, and seeing how much it means to him is important because it shows his personality, and shows his passion for being a part of the success of the team and not just taking up minutes off the bench.

I haven’t been all that high on Sergio, but this helps show me what kind of a person he is. I like what I read.

Thanks for posting!

ditto, thanks for posting.

I sometimes forget with all the trade debate that this actually affects the players and their families when they get moved around.

great read

you really felt like you were getting Sergio’s unfiltered thoughts reading that. Not something you get from all player’s blogs, which often come off as having been "PR"d a bit.

Rule #1 of nitpicking is to get it right.

Nice to hear what Sergio has to say for once.

Now tell that dude to get a haircut. His hair looks like a phallic dedication.

I'm glad Sergio did not get traded

He looked a little wild last night (some would say "wilder") with his passes sailing up quite a bit and even his ’oops, which are usually very precise, were not quite there. Maybe too much adrenaline?

Coincidentally, Blake looks like he is becoming very accomplished at delivering the lob pass. Could he somehow be draining Sergio’s powers, vampire-like? Blake-u-la! Bwa ha ha.

Anyhow, I believe that if Sergio continues to improve his shooting, mainly by being more consistent, and if he works on finishing at the rim, and if he continues to hustle on defense, he may be a Blazer for years to come. Maybe he needs to try that G2 …

Thought the same thing

The real reason Sergio couldn’t help Rudy was that he was spending All-Star weekend teaching Blake the lob pass.

Blake has apparently mastered this art already.

I'm sort of glad he didn't get traded too

Not always his biggest fan but let’s see what happens.

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.
