I'm still on my Nic Batum "high"... I saw a request in some comments for a Batum in Obama logo so i google obama makers and found a maker.. and made this :)

Is that throw-up called Hope?

Because that’s what I’m filled with; hope.

I now like Nicolas Batum less...

Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!

I'm sure it's mutual

I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Im not hating on Batum or this picture (its quite good actually),

just, well, you know who…

no need to get angry. not everyone will have the same opinions (i take it you’re a supporter of him). this is why we should leave anything to do with politics out of this site.

and yes, i am probably overreacting but i cant help but to react negatively. sorry.

Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!

Come on now

I asked If someone could make one in that style artistically and they did and I like it.

That style of poster art predates Obama by many decades. Probably Russian in origin. I’m sure that there is an art student out who knows the name of that style.

Constructivism, and no it’s not really. Although minimizing the graphic elements in a poster so as to squeeze maximum impact from it does tend to give a similar feel to all posters. A very restricted pallet, geometric shapes and a distilled slogan does not equal constructivism any more than those elements belong to art nouveau or art deco or pop art. It’s just good poster design.

I am perpendicularly pissed off right now!!!!!!

Calm down man

I didn’t bring politics onto the site. Technically the creator did. I hate throwing him under the bus because the picture is really well done, but it was made to a theme of a political figure (whose name is in description), so it wasn’t me who brought him up. I just reacted to it. And there’s no need to be overly-critical of someone (me in this case) because you have different viewpoints and/or opinions.

Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!

Oh come on people.

I mean I’m not a huge Obama fan either, but don’t hate on his logo. It’s awesome.

I'm gonna be the only A-hole that owns a Nic Batum jersey that doesn't live in France. Awesome.

Hope...

that Batum gets starters’ minutes because he is more then a defensive stopper.

I don’t mean to bring politics into this but I had to say it.

Why is Grant Hill in a Blazers jersey?

Wearing the black band for Jarrett Jack, Ime Udoka, Fred Jones, Sergio Rodriguez, Channing Frye, Luke Schenscher, Shavlik Randolph, James Jones, Josh McRoberts, Steven Hill, Jarron Collins, Michael Ruffin, Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw. Sacrificed to the unmerciful god of progress.

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.
