If you need a laugh...

It's been awhile since I've played around with anagrams and there are quite a few names that I never threw into the anagram machine. For those of you who weren't around when I last did this, Blazers Edge = Bald Geezers. (As an unbald geezerette I know I don't belong.)

Some are really lame, others so lame I didn't include them.

Andre Miller = Mean driller

Brandon Roy = No randy bro (don't remember this from before, maybe "bro" is a new add)

Elliot William = I wills toil lame. or maybe I will toils lame (sounds like another B-Roy)

Luke Babbitt = A kibble butt (he eats pet food?)

Marcus Camby = A crummy scab ... or if you prefer, A scrummy crab

Patty Mills = Mall typist (continuing to sit on a bench?)

Wesley Matthews = Why tweet meals?

And then a couple that yielded all sorts of weird mental pictures

Nicolas Batum = A botanic slum, musical baton, A talcum bison, A botulism can, Atonal cubism (I like the latter as I have no idea what it is but it sounds very sophisticated)

And my favorite collection:

Dante Cunningham = Damn cheating nun, Nude man chanting, Unending chat man, The dancing unman

LOL Yeah, those damn cheating nuns are the worst.

You have to wonder where they picked up such a bad habit. That’s definitely unCONVENTional behavior.

In the voice of an old New Yorker over a crackly radio:

A Scrummy Crab grabs the rebound, he outlets to Mean Driller…Mean Driller advances the ball up the court, swings it to No Randy Bro on the wing…No Randy Bro penetrates into the lane, kicks it back out to A Botanic Slum….A Botanic Slum sends the ball to Nude Man Chanting in the corner, and Nude Man Chanting cans the baseline jumper! These racehorses sure can play some basketball folks!

It's an easy one once I give this hint

The Blazers starting point guard’s name is in it.

I like yours though. Put all four together and it describes a normal Saturday for me.

These are fun! Nicolas Batum =

Oil can sub mat

Oil Can (he helps make the defense run smooth)
Sub (he’s great if he’s coming off the bench)
Mat (sounds more like wrestling than basketball, but he’ll take his opponent to the mat if he has to)

Love ya, Jorga

But now I REALLY know we’re in the NBA dog days!!

Of course, this is the calm before the storm. That “storm” being an injury-free run to a “shock the world” Blazers’ NBA championship. Could happen…

I was born in '52, and I believe in #52. Hang in there, GO.
You too, Przy: everyone knows you're the heart & soul of the Blazers.

I hope I remember "The Dancing Unman" when Dante does something great on the court this year.
