Boy!

Andre looks like his favorite movie is Half Baked. As long as he can dribble drive better than Dave Chapelle.

The Flickr player makes the mouse pointer disappear

I don’t know if it’s a bug but it’s very annoying. It does that with every browser.
Even if I’m reading other tabs the mouse disappears.

Sorry if this is off topic but I hate this picture player

I can’t see any of these pics on my

there were a lot of goatees, today

LMA, Brandon, Bayless…I think they’ll all talk Joel and Steve into growing ’em so they can be part of the “pack”

Blake looks like he's going to snap

Miller looks like he’s been smoking crack, and Outlaw looks like he’s about to get paid like out of this world.

Nice just to see some of the team back together, with additions

Nice to see Ime back in uniform again, not that we have room for him, but just that image makes me more open to the possibility. I’m hoping Patty makes it, though he could be better off where he can get minutes.
Maybe it is the Richard Prior “connection”, but Andre does look like he could be a major source of amusement.
Just really looking forward to seeing the team back in action !

I'm praying andre miller doesn't cut his hair

no, i’m not saying it looks good. i’m just saying its awesome. I mean come on. How demoralized would you be after losing to that hair?

His hair should have its own theme music.

its just nice its almost basketball season

I’m so excited for this team to build off what they did last year. However, I think that LMA needs to be signed before October 31st or it may turn inot a season-long distraction of whether he will be here next year or not. I just hope that doesn’t happen but i have a feeling it could. I think LMA is a very important player for this team and I hope KP gets it right this time

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.
