Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Bewildered.


So I'm up late not studying and watching the Lakers-Warriors game from last night when Sasha Vujacic checks into the game early in the 4th quarter. Usually, Vujacrap entering the game doesn't catch my attention, but I notice something on him: he's wearing a one-sleeve shirt under his jersey.

It's now officially a fad. If Vujacic is wearing one, you know it's just for looks. Like the arm sleeve and headbands before it, the one-sleeve in now officially a NBA accessory. Like all NBA accessories, it started out with good intentions. We saw our own Nicolas Batum use it to protect his recovering shoulder, but now fancy-pants players believe it adds flavor to their image. Yuck.

I don't like it. I think it looks ridiculous. Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Mike Miller...these guys look like they got in a cat-fight before a game and their shirts suffered the consequences. Leave it for the Batum's, fellas! Go wear a glove or something.

It is kind of odd to point this out but, I don't know, I notice this stuff, and it bothers me. Especially when it doesn't help Vujacic look better in the eyes of ole Phil. So what do y'all think of this new fad? Am I alone?

Jamison had a hurt shoulder too.

I think Mike Miller did too. Not sure about VC. Vujacic is clearly a d-bag no matter what he wears.

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

-New Orleans Hornets broadcasters at the end of the third quarter with the Hornets leading 74-59. Portland later ends up winning 97-89.

"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.

Ah.

I see. Well, they’ve had hurt shoulders for about 8 months now. I think it’s time they faced reality and dropped the sleeve.

Agreed about Sasha though, the poophead.

I thought it was weird

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!

Ha!

I’m pretty sorry about that. I didn’t mean to make you read it! I didn’t mean to bother your blazersedge with silly fanpost.

Like I said, I notice these kinds of things when I’m not watching the Blazers. I thought it’d be fun to talk about or just bash Vujacic. It only took me about 5 minutes to write, so I didn’t waste much time.

I will never again try to bother you! My bad!

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.
