I was wondering when the denial was going to come. Any clue about who it actually was?

And any idea why Bayless has such a dislike for Telfair?

I have an idea...

Sebastian Telfair’s kind of a jerk.

I don't believe you

Q: Do you feel the city of Portland still wants you?

A: I know this team does, the organization does. Everybody else, I don't worry about that. We worry about our family right here (in the locker room). I know I got their back and I know they're behind me.

I also wonder just how big BRoys shoe collection is,

also, is it not ok for YOU to ask BRoy for a pair of his shoes??? I would think you would be getting up on that kind of gear.

I thought you were denying asking for Brandon's shoes...

I’m glad I read the whole thing. Bayless dropping the f-bomb on Telfair was classic. I wish Jerryd was 6’8, he’d make a great enforcer.

Good thing that

Oden left the clubhouse early.

Not only would he have been blamed for it, his fart would have been the lead story on Sportscenter. That would have been followed by no fewer than 17 fanposts asserting that Durant has the far better digestive system and that his flatulence is considerably less noxious than Oden’s.

You should find out if Aldridge ever get requests for his shoes,

that could make an interesting piece.

also, I doubt you’ll answer but,
What kind of access do you have? What kind of limitations are there?

Post game, are you aloud to ask questions of Nate, or Brandon, ect.???

Are you simply alloud to be present, trusted to observe and asked not to disrupt any flow?

Are you aloud to seek out contacts within the organization, or are your boundrys concrete?

How do you feal the Players interpret your role?

Do they take you seriously?

Are they aware of the readership that you represent?

Was that you stealing the soda?

When are you gonna do another interview with someone from with in the organization that would otherwise go unnoticed behind the sceens?

What kind of access do you have? What kind of limitations are there?
— same as everyone else. full locker room access. no still photos in locker room are among the limitations.
Post game, are you aloud to ask questions of Nate, or Brandon, ect.???
— yes.
Are you simply alloud to be present, trusted to observe and asked not to disrupt any flow?
— no. generally speaking, preference goes to those on deadline.
Are you aloud to seek out contacts within the organization, or are your boundrys concrete?
— yes.
How do you feal the Players interpret your role?

— they probably don’t really care but are very friendly and generally answer any questions put to them.

Do they take you seriously?

— they always respectfully answer questions. otherwise, i think they have more important things to worry about.

Are they aware of the readership that you represent?

— generally speaking they know they have a lot of fans online. just look how many ways the blazers cater to their online fans. that said, i don’t think the players differentiate their online fans into groups based on what sites they go to.

Was that you stealing the soda?

— no. i disclosed who it was at bedge night though.

When are you gonna do another interview with someone from with in the organization that would otherwise go unnoticed behind the sceens?

— that’s not a question i can answer… out of my hands.

by Ben Golliver on Mar 8, 2009 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

awsome, thanks for taking the time to answer, you Big Shot you ;-)

Seriously, that’s amazing, Daves legit like a newspaper. I’m glad that your not making waves, you could really do something with this opprotunity, Maybe radio, or even get on TV, you could be a guest on Talking Ball. I think Jill is hot, although they should make her watch a season of game tape before they let her talk again.

otherwise, i think they have more important things to worry about.

this seams so obvious now that you point it out, and on so many levels, glad your in there. I probably suffer a ton of misinterpratations (I know there’s a better word) that stem from being on the outside, trying to look in through a lead window.

it’s so obvious if you follow this team closely.

He is hilarious

NBA team, billionaire owner, and mike stuffs his golf clubs in the plane so he can golf while away from portland (for free I might add—he pretty much only golfs if he can get a free game).

That dude is funny.

BTW—that is a pretty good guess, since Barrett claims that Rice frequently stuffs Oatmeal cookies from the media room into his pocket.

Agreed

I like our guys, they’re by and large nice people. Rex is a good guy to, but I love the fact that if it needs to be done, he will bow up

An admission: After the OKC game, I said some things. Stupid things. Things about Nate not knowing how to coach GO. It was only then I realized that I was in danger of becoming that which I most loathe - an uninformed, knee jerk fan who reacts to wins with wild delusions of championships and losses with trade and firing fodder. I will not be that fan. From this point on I will support the Blazers, the coaches and front office wholeheartedly, offering praise and criticism appropriate to the matter at hand. I will never again be "that guy".

Ben was at BEN night, and was at the locker with Broy

coincidence? I think not.

and BEN night should be either BE Night or just BEN...not BEN night.

that would mean Blazers Edge Night Night. Which would make a great signoff after a gameday open thread, but sucks when you’re talking about the actual Blazers Edge Night.

It wasn't me part II: Ben the big Sergio supporter
Jerryd turned in what can only be described as his worst performance of the season. His 6 minutes were highlighted by his first possession on the court, which saw him 1) commit a careless defensive foul, 2) whistled for an unnecessary defensive 3 seconds violation (which gave away a technical foul free throw) and then 3) get posted up for a turnaround jumper by Ryan Gomes after failing to fight through a pick. His night continued with what appeared to be profanity directed towards an official after a no-call on a layup attempt and an out-of-sync pass behind a curling Travis Outlaw that squandered another possession. – From Ben’s T-Wolves recap
that quote from BE is not by Dave, but rather from Ben, who has been a big Sergio supporter. The blinders may be worn by him. – Wizenheimer, “Head Coach”, RealGM forum post

Mhm, I seem to remember posts from last fall when people here were angry about Ben insinuating Sergio’s days in Portland could be over and supporting Bayless too much, even sporting his likeness as his avatar. I could be wrong and that just didn’t translate well…
