The Blazers most sensitive information, Nate´s Hand Signal Communication Code, has been made public at BlazersEdge. Ben "The Mole" did it again. Who else?
Once the secret´s been broken up I can tell you the parts of that code that I had dechipered before Ben brought the subject to public.
We are drafting Bedgers for the Enigma Project. The Blazers want you! Just tell me how can I reach 75 words using hand signals. Bla, bla, bla, bla.

I knew there was a deeper meaning to all these signals.

Blazers win BDL 2 on 2 tournament!
Skeets: i’ll close it down now … congrats. you bastards
Awesome. I knew he was still calling all the shots since he doesn't have that elite ball handler like himself to trust the offense with yet
At least he has more play calls than Mike Brown in Cleveland, who has just two signals for “LeBron high screen” and “LeBron iso”. Rumors have it he also has a signal for “Big Z baseline jumper”, but that’s just a rumor.
I have my own signal for, "Give it to Travis and pray"
If he makes it, I’m easily able to transition to clapping and screaming, “Yes, Travis. I love and have never doubted you!”
If you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else probably is already.

It was either the "guess who's going to wash my car this weekend"
Or “come give me a hug Bayless” that had me laughing. Good work. :)

I found this information to be very helpful. Thanks!
However, I believe the signal at the top, right-hand corner is more accurately translated as, “Do it ‘til you’re satisfied (, Brandon)”. Otherwise, good work!
This reminds me of Phil Jackson during timeouts. A couple of years ago my buddy and I went to a Laker/Sonic game in Seattle and noticed that every single timeout Jackson and his assistants would just huddle together without the team. Then just before the end would go to the players and say a couple of words. We joked that all he did was say. “Get it to Kobe”
Brett Pill - Lord of the double.
so true...
last night I watched Philly’s coach do the same thing. The coaches stood around for most of the time out, then at the last second went to the huddle, yelled something, and went back to the bench. I turned to friend and we both agreed… coach simply told his players to let Andre Miller have the game of his life and kill our guards. That was tough…
Phil did the same thing with MJ.
Accidentaly, just trying to get Jscot out of the record of most recommended fan posts at the same time.
Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16
Batum 8+8=16

He’ll get more recs on this one than my last five combined.
When I rule the world, everyone will know how to use Excel.
I actually laughed
It has been about, since the last Mortimer comment that has happened.

I wore my Aldridge jersey to the beach and bar last night and got 3 ‘Go Blazers’ from different people.

that is hilarious.
the “he’s penetrating on your right/left. do something!” was probably my favorite.
Hmmm.. is that we saw Oden at the top of the key on their guards?
because that made me really, really nervous. Great watching the game with your, by the way.
If you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else probably is already.
yeah good to meet you too.
There were a few things last night that made me nervous. Not the least of which is when the entire Garden chanted “Javie sucks.” I’m fairly convinced that led to the second no-call when Roy drew contact and the ball flew in to the air. We are talking about the referree that ejected not only Mike Rice, but a team mascot from games. http://basketbawful.blogspot.com/2008/07/worst-evers-mascot-behavior.html Sticking it to a crowd is not beneath him.

that would have been like Steve Javie's

this is great.
there should about 3 more hand signals to give it to Roy. Also one gesture designed for a play, that mostly has the PG’s run of a screen and do it again until the shot clock runs down.
so I guess his default posture
gives the message “chill, let them shoot 3s”

You forgot this one: "Bad call, ref!"

How about that even worse call one:
where he raised his fist, but with a bent elbow and pats his bicept with his other palm ? :-)
good work mi amigo
i thought ben may have been joking, someone should do a black power mock up with that pic of nate, would be perfect if he had some leather and a beret on.
This is great!
Thanks for sleuthing this out. So much more fun now that we know the signals, and easier to evaluate individual plays versus the call from Nate. I should make a spreadsheet that tracks the successful execution %.
