Good news, mostly.

Having B-Roy there scares me a bit, but hopefully he’ll hold it back under 100%. And I’m very excited to see Oden, and to a lesser degree Bayless—i think they will really benefit from the experience.

and nic and rudy represent france and spain

"There are a few teams you have to watch out for in the fourth quarter."
"Yeah, but Portland definitely is not one of them."

"They don't mind him shooting that shot at all. Rudy Fernandez is not that great of a 3pt shooter."

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters right after a Rudy Fernandez missed 3pter. Rudy Fernandez finished the game with three 3pters on six attempts.

Casey said he was certain Roy wouldn't go

on the Podcast. But ESPN apparently begs to differ, as that is a list oh who accepted the invitation.

harharharharhar

they’z smoking boozing europeans… zay do not getz to playz.

"Fernandez, to my eyes, is the Blazer who walks that walk most comfortably. A lot of Portland's fans (egged on, dare I say, by their local broadcasters) lament things like how Ron Artest or Yao Ming get to hit Brandon Roy's arms.

But I suspect Fernandez sees all that and thinks: We get to hit arms! Cool!"

I would agree...

most non-blazer fans would probably say Durant though.

Frankly

Roy is too good for that group. I agree he sticks out like a sore thumb.

i knew, as well as everyone else, that Sergio would be moved. i’ll have to come up with a new name after a period of mourning.

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.
