Great Idea!!! I’m sick and tired of blazer hating. constructive critisism and observations are fine, but some people should vent to their dog. All this negative media coverage and posts are wearing on me.

i thought he was a decent shooter in college. Now all he can do is draw fouls! is this the future pg we want?

hate hate hate hate..

+1 for breaking out Silky

(Damn my post should of have a touch of Chuck Norris for flavour)

No and yes are the correct answers.

LA showed up, duing his part, playing his role, and playing with confidence. Pryz showed up to play right from the start. You can’t expect him to make it taking it to the hole like that, but he hit his free throws. Thats a good soldure. When broy mist that shot, it screamed “I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY GAME, AND MY ABILITIES TO LEAD THIS TEAM TO VICTORY”. the ensuing meltdown was excrutiationg.

Before the game, I commented that a victory would land squarly on LA and roy, and that BOTH would have to be top notch and in tandum to pull it out. roy failed, for whatever reason, he failed. I wonder about the dynamics, and how LA bringing the right stuff, all the goodness, right from the start, may have affected him. If I’m roy, and all I want is to win, and I’m the “uneqwivicle leader of this team”, a rookie of the year, and two time allstar in just three seasons, then I’m estatic that my trusty sidekick shows up loaded for bear.

What about that beginning was to good to be true for roy?? I wonder if he just likes to play the hero, he seams to play better from behind. I donno. But the fact remains, that when playing, your headspace matters, and roys was waaaaaay off. That airball should keep roy from having an erection for at least a week, there was NOTHING manly in that disconnect. (Rudy should have the same problem too, getting a bball spiked off your head has got to hurt the sole.) So I’m freaking out, refusing to relenquish hope, its not even tangable, I can’t see, the night is black, I’m alone in an ocean,the storm rages, and I’m reaching wildly for a rope that isn’t there.

theres a positive in this, and maybe also a negative. Rudy was willing to take the big shot, and he was willing to take it to the hole, in the absence of roy. the problem, is that Rudy is showing, though not consistantly, that he canbe the man on an NBA team. I would guesse that more then a few teams would be happy to make use of him as a starter in there offence, and I’de venture that if one was designed wiht his strengths in mind, it could be quite successful. My fear, is that Portland will not get to keep Rudy, that he or his agents will recognise his potential and he will be moved.

ugh

I promise I’m going to write up a field trip report of last night’s Denver game, but this right here is a quick vent.

SHOW SOME FREAKING EFFORT.

Last night the players – almost all of them, up and down the lineup – showed inconsistent hustle and effort, especially on the defensive end. B-Roy was sleepwalking through the first 16 minutes; LaMarcus fell in love with his jumper too early; Rudy was ineffective spotting up. The offense just flat out was NOT moving.

Denver gets 32 in the first quarter, and despite the rally, they run out of gas.

Yes, second half of the back-to-back, long season, etc. But having to be there in the arena as the Denver fans cheered on their clown prince (freaking Birdman) and seeing Melo shred our defense was sad. This’ll probably be the only game I get to go to, and it was nothing short of a banana peel.
