Most people in Oregon don't know anything about basketball.Those are my experiences from being around the basketball community in the state.
Chester -
Yeah I know nothing about basketball. Ive never picked upknowledge from anyone Ive been around with.
Jon - You apparently go to Oregon State? That's enough for me.
Would love for you to tell me something, would make my year. But just so you know...I know a lot about Portland. Ive been around every level of basketball inthe state, from aau-high school-college-pro, and I can say whatever I want about that place. The place is full of people that know NOTHING about basketball. But, they watch the Blazers and feel entitled to an opinion on things they know very little to nothing about. And just for your record, my favorite teams arethe Lakers and the Spurs.
Hence why I even came back into this topic in the first place. Some guy was talking about how you guys are gonna win chip after chip....c'mon now. Yourteam is going to look very different in 4 years. You are going to have three players that are going to command max contracts. Its gonna shake things up. Anddont say "we have the richest owner he will make it happen." (Ive actually heard Blazer fans say that before)...do you have any idea what it wouldtake to have three players on max contracts? Portland doesnt have the market for it...the NBA is a business.
I just dont feel its right to talk about how "In 3 years my team is gonna win this and my team is gonna win that" or "in the next decade we aregoing to put up so many banners"...those are two very uneducated statements and clearly, somone making that sort of a statement doesnt know much aboutabout basketball or even sports in general. The game doesnt work like that.

If that's your logic than you think everyone in this world is an idiot. I live in LA and everyone thinks the Chargers, Kings, Ducks, Dodgers,Angels, Lakers and Clippers will win everything in the universe. You probably just ran into the worst of the worst homer fans. Although I root for theBlazers, I'm a basketball fan an appreciate the game and all its positives. Never once I said, "Blazers will make a run at the Bulls 72-10record" or "Kobe Bryant sucks" or "Greg Oden will be an All-Star starting center more than Yao." I'm all about the bigger pictureand I believe the Blazers got the highest ceiling and the brightest future. Coincidentally a lot of basketball and sports experts that's NOT located inPortland or Oregon or the Northwest feel the same way. Since you like the Spurs and Lakers didn't they win like the past 7 of 10 Championships? It wassafe to say when these two juggarnauts were locking horns earlier this decade they both will "put up XX amounts of banners" or did you think their"teams will change" and someone else's time will shine? They've pretty much had the same cog in all their Championship runs (Duncan, Manu,TP, Bowen and Shaq, Kobe, Fox, Horry, Fisher sprinkled with role players). As for the three max contracts, you're right that's impossible. Only oneteam I can find has that and that's the Celtics and they traded for that situation. You really think the Blazers will give their Big 3 20+ million eachthan you're "an idiot." Hell your Spurs, who's the gold standard, doesn't even do that. I can see Roy getting up to that max plateau,Oden getting 12-14 and LMA getting 10-12 a year (what do you know? like the Spurs Duncan/TP/Manu respectively). Once again you have no debate and allyou're doing is talking up a storm through your experiences with homer fans. I bet in your mind and logic, you'd win everyday on Around the Horn Mr.Well Versed Business Man.

No, but seriously, Im actually asking for an explanation of what happened during the game. Isnt his limited play usually due to fouls? He didnt have any foultrouble, so Im asking why he didn't play?

He does, I'm just saying.
I listened on the radio for a bit (they will never say a bad word about him) and saw the highlights, but I didn't watch the game. If I had to guess, Iwould say the speed of the game in this one. Dallas prolly went small or something like that. Matchups, etc.
Dampier didn't do too much either, so that's my guess.

i knew someone was going to say that...i wasnt even thinking about the thread, but i saw it was on the 1st page again and i went to the game last night...this thread turned into a blazers/lakers thread. i'm a blazers fan, but what can i really say to a lakers fan? they've owned us this decade, so i have no need to argue w/ them.
yes, he did have a 3 game stretch where he looked good but...he played against the bucks w/o bogut and the wiz w/ blatche guarding him...he did look good against okafor i'll admit..

QFT
Dude is 7 Feet, got leaping ability like a kangaroo and just as long as anybody.
He is terrible at rebounding. He just doesn't understand it.
He is to big now. They need to slim him down, forget building him...let him slim down to something over his HS weight and more like what he came into collegeas (before the injury).... He would move better, and play better defense. Kid was touching over the top of the square then.
