He had an incident during the last open chat with Dave

A bunch of my friends are getting reeeeally into the blazers now that they're in the playoffs again,

and I’ve tried to get them to join Blazers edge, and I get a common response, " I read and lurk on the site, but it’s a little too intimidating for me to get into." This no doubt has to do with the crazy blogging skills of so many people on here. Some of the insight and number / stat crunching by just regular joe blow ( Joe the Plummer! ) bloggers on here is really quite amazing. This has got to be one of the premier blogging sites about anything anywhere on the web. I am amazed at some of the stuff only available here on B edge. We are truly spoiled.

And yes, thanks everyone on here who takes time to blog on this fabulous community. Rip City never died. It was just in hibernation here on Blazers Edge, waiting to rise like a phoenix.

but I want to think all of you for making this the best season ever…and I do mean ever.
Coming here to enjoy the season with all of you has been fantastic.

I’m not sure I’ve ever been as eager for a season to begin, as I was this year.
The excitement and the anticipation before the season began was like no other…no other season, and no other sport. And this year has lived up to all of those expectations.

Thanks to all,

Make a post about

How every male fan of the NBA is just repressing dark, unquenchable, nearly overpowering urges for sinewy male flesh.

Then back it up with high falootin fancy book talk.

Or, say it’s a modern day slave market, where the pre-draft camps are just like a slave auction where they measure everything except the whiteness of their teeth. And players are FORCED— against their will— to play for whoever drafts them, or ‘buys them like one would buy a slave at a slave auction’.

And we call this AMERICA?!?!

I am looking forward to whatever meltdown you create, because I’m sure it’s better thought out than the ones above.

Sherman Alexie did the first one better than I could because he is a man, and therefore coming up with the idea took a larger amount of intellect (as my ultra-scientific mind tells me revealing things about yourself is harder than talking about other people). And for the record, it’s ultra-obvious to any female that you guys are way more into each other than you are into us. Which is fine. That lets us get away with a lot.

The second idea is good because everyone thinks it at some point, but then brushes it off at the last second as insanity. There should be a fanpost entirely devoted to crazy ideas about the NBA everybody has but immediately brushes off as insanity.

My idea for the offseason will be dependent on what news stories are breaking. I know it’s hard to tell, but I especially like to play off of contemporary events. I would love to do a fan post on Drunk Driving and athletes, but we’ll have to wait and see how aware people are of it, especially if Chuck has any comments after he gets out of “jail.”

But the question I always ask before I publish anything here is, “will this challenge people at the very heart of their ideas of self?” If the answer is yes, I POST THAT SUCKER.

If the answer is no I post that, too. I mean, I spend time writing these things!

Thank you Blazer's Edge (and Roodie)

You make me spend a lot of time, but gain new friends (or the closest thing to it). This is the best online community I know.

Bill Simmons just questioned if Bosh is a franchise player in his latest podcast (see junk drawer and fanshots)

He wants to send him to Houston in the off-season, Bucher and Stein rather to Detroit. They also declared LMA “the most athletic power forward in the game” and “a nightmare matchup for [Tim Duncan] San Antonio”. Jksnake would have a field day :)

there are plenty of more athletic PFs in the game-- Tyrus Thomas comes to mind-- not that that matters

the new, improved, post-ASB LMA is indeed a tough matchup for the hobbled, old Duncan. I’ve given LMA due credit for improving his foul drawing and rebounding since the break.

by jksnake99 on Apr 14, 2009 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

TT is more athletic???

Player – No Step Vertical – Maximum Vertical Jump – Bench Press (185 lbs.) – Lane Agility Drill – 3/4 Court Sprint – Score – Rank

Tyrus Thomas 34.0 39.5 8 11.36 3.2 235.4254 22

LaMarcus Aldridge 26.5 34.0 8 12.02 3.43 165.8582 68

Tyrus beat LMA in every category at the 2006 Pre-Draft… that’s the only time I know when you could compare sterile, athletic measures.

http://www.draftexpress.com/article/NBA-Pre-Draft-Camp-Athletic-Testing-Combine-Results-1352/

I guess you should root for the Bulls snake.

Maybe they meant LMA is the most athletic PF in the league who is good at basketball and matters. If Terrell Owens was in the NBA, maybe he would be the most athletic. Maybe they were comparing LMA to Duncan, Boozer, Gasol, Scola, Birdman, and etc.

I don’t know. Was LMA hurt or something? He did terrible in the pre-draft.

by tominrehab on Apr 14, 2009 6:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

LMA is a very good athlete and a better basketball player than Thomas...

… but he is clearly not the most athletic PF in the game.

by jksnake99 on Apr 14, 2009 6:38 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

the Bosh thing is a matter of what you consider a franchise player

if there are only 10 of those in the league, you can make a good case he’s not one of them. I think its pretty tough to argue that he’s outside the top 15 though.

by jksnake99 on Apr 14, 2009 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Chris Bosh is in the same range as Pau Gasol, with that being a great second option ...

on a championship caliber team. LaMarcus Aldridge, on the other hand, is one tier below them, as he’d be a great third option on a championship caliber team. At this rate, though, it seems like Aldridge may ultimately fill that role for the Portland Trail Blazers. I, however, would’ve still dealt Aldridge in a package for Chris Bosh at this season’s trade deadline.

by AK1984 on Apr 15, 2009 12:23 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

If that existed

I’m sure we woulda, that’s a no brainer.

Bosh should be a co-star, I agree. He’s not an alpha and not a guy you can expect to take over games and win just by his own mojo… like most other franchise players.

He’s a very, very, very good co-star, but a co-star. Even if he scored more than the real star, like he likely would if he played alongside Roy.

I really, really, really don’t think LMA for Bosh was an option, unless I missed sumthin’…
