Just spent a good while writing what I thought was a creative, well-put post about a question that I haven't really seen asked about the Blazers, had all my ideas out there and wrapped up and then hit send, only to realize I hadn't signed in first.
On most forum sites, you ...

Also, RC14: Refs DO get fined for bad calls... just in soccer, not basketball. Funny, how the sport that is most commonly stereotyped as having too many floppers and rules that are too vague and nondescript, is the sport that holds it's officials accountable for their decisions. The Fosters and Don...

Agree with pretty much everything you said about Aldridge, nice post.
Interested in hearing about Batum and Lillard, but I think I'd be way more into discussing the rankings of players on that precipice of keep/trade, such as Hickson, Claver, Freeland, Maynor, Barton, and even Babbitt, s...

because they arent' winning a championship this season is no reason to continue to blow up the chemistry and start over and over and over... I'd like to trade a handful of bench players but throwing your {proven quality players} for something MAYBE better is like gambling. High risk. I ...

Absolutely do NOT want Aldridge gone. He deserves to stay a Blazer and I hope he chooses to after his contract, because it really will be his choice.
The combination of Aldridge and Lillard, if they stay together a few years, will turn in to the absolute best 1-4 combo we've seen run a t...

I'd hardly say Dahntay Jones is anywhere near a real "dirty" player, compared to other guys on Kobe's team, but that is allll besides the point here, because Kobe kicked out his leg, and should've been called for that before the refs call anything about "protecting the shooter"... when that shoo...

Vucevic is doing great, but what else does Orlando have right now? Reddick has been dealing with injury and I don't think he's 100% yet, Big Baby is still out right?
I feel like this is a really scary trap of a game... but if Blazers can come in and, as usual, play THEIR GAME, not the op...

To say he's been a non-factor in the last 5 games is more than a little biased, dude... 2 triple doubles in the last 4 games??? With that kind of contribution, "factor-ness acquired!" is automatic.
Among non-guards, Batum is 2nd in the NBA in assists per game, behind only Lebron James.

"JJ Hickson plays BLAZER basketball" That's the key, that's it. He's gotta stay (and eventually come off the bench) for the same reason that Wesley Mathews stays a Blazer; the players they are, their heart about it, is essential to Portland Blazer Basketball. Couldn't agree more.
I get wh...

I think you nailed it on that last comment, BDawg; People have made some threads on here about how horrible our bench is and how that's an outrage, and how Olshey should've known better and it makes him a bad GM... but like you said, the real key for us is that this season has always been entire...
