I have tickets to the GS game, so we shouldn't give up...

They gotta go for 16! Though it’s fan appreciation night, so I guess it could still be fun.

Is this a subtle way of saying we should get him?

There are some decent PG options out there and he is one of them. Here is what I see:

Collison
Bayless (you just wait…he is developing and needs to be considered)
Devin Harris (if NJ lands Wall, Harris could be on the move)

My top three picks for our PG of the future.

Wasn't pretty..

But I’d feel silly complaining about a win.

Actually, this got me thinking

How can a win be labeled as ugly or not pretty when Batum is playing? Kinda like an oxymoron

by Honka Playboy on Mar 9, 2010 9:38 PM PST up reply actions  

I wonder if any of you would ever trade

Roy for Evans? Why? Because Evans isn’t injury prone and he plays defense. He’s younger and can defend both guard spots. Plays PG and SG with a little SF. Evans is also more athletic than Roy. Honestly it would be worth considering but I doubt the Kings would agree to this offer.

by VinnyB on Mar 9, 2010 9:38 PM PST reply actions  

my god

I still haven’t deciphered whether or not you’re a troll. Seems like every post you make is anti Roy or anti LMA.. This is a blog for Blazer fans right? Nothing personal btw I just don’t see your negative attitude as warranted

some fans are pessimists

What’s wrong with having the alternate point of view?

I wouldn’t make that particular trade, but its not completely crazy. Roy’s injury history is a concern, as are his frequent poor efforts on defense.

Firmly in favor of making a coaching change at the end of the season.

not making fun of him, just the zombie him

he was one of the most interesting people to play in the NBA. Complex, thoughtful person

Now there is a scary thought

which NBA player do you least want to see come back from the dead in a zombie apocalypse? Assuming it’s the slow, plodding zombies (a la "Night of the Living Dead) I say Shaq but if it’s the fast, predator-like zombies (a la "28 Days Later) I say Lebron.

Back home from the game

Ugly win but a win nonetheless. I’ll take it. Camby=beast.

Things you may have missed:

1. The Blazer dancers doing a routine to "Bust a Bucket". Awesome.
2. The Name that Tune deal included a Hanson Brothers song, which all those asked were embarrassed to be able to identify.
3. Halftime with Schnoz, Porter and Kersey was awesome.

Man that hammy must be bothering Roy...

He missed a ton of shots he normally makes. Usually I would chalk it up to a bad night but its getting pretty apparent after several games that he just isn’t what he was.

by netking on Mar 9, 2010 10:46 PM PST reply actions  

Also, his free throw shooting suggests a confidence problem. Its hard to believe he could have that problem, but its all I can come up with to explain it.

by netking on Mar 9, 2010 10:48 PM PST up reply actions  

concentration, balance

leg injuries affect FTs too

I think the Blazers broke the Bulls. Ever since that overtime squeaker they haven’t won a single game.

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

Was at the game. What was with the 4th quarter line up? Shouldn't Nate be TIGHTENING

the roster going down the stretch???? I was getting OKC flashbacks!!!!!! Please Nate, give up on the 2nd unit starting the 4th quarter idea!!!!

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.
