    I get Failton. He's not a good NBA PG and he's a butterball of a loser. Pretty much stinks it up almost every night in some way.

    But Crawful is fool's gold. He'll suck for 2 or 3 games terribly, then have a great game and everyone os back on his bandwagon. Then he sucks like hell for another few games and has a great game. And on and on.

    It's time for both of them to just go. It's so darn painful watching them lose game after game for us. And the worst part of it all is that they both think they are clutch.

    They can't trade Crawful yet, can they?

    Crawful is a more frustrating version of Outlaw. Mainly because you know he's more talented, and he has the ability to be an impact player, but just constantly dissapoints you over and over. Oh, and also our coach seems to give him MORE leeway than Outlaw, which is fucking batshit insane.

    Felton is just godawful. That's just the end of it. I'm so glad his contract expires at the end of the season.

    What are the chances we take the option?

    I don't think there is one. It's expired and that's that. If they don't renounce his rights I might just walk into the GM office and shoot Chad right in the face.

    The worst part is that Failton THINKS he's good. My god, here we are trying, pleading for Batum to take more shots and Failton is running around with his head cut off jacking up shots like he's Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals. Good lord, go to hell.

    I thought there was a team option, but I'm sure you're right. I can't recall a worse starting PG.

    Felton can be traded now. I would just waive him.

    I'm looking for the "fire nate" thread, but may as well post here. I cannot understand why Nate doesn't at least TRY something else. Matthews/Crawford/Felton rotation is not working at all.


    I'm just glad we don't have Felton signed to a long term deal. I"m sure that Crawford would be better if he were allowed to play SG and not PG.

    And Matthews...whew....I really liked him last year. Played tough D and hit his open shots, this year, he just flat out sucks.

    Anyone's highlight video is better than the reality of Felton, but Sergio was as bad as Felton is now.

    http://bkref.com/tiny/Z2ikq Sergio's Blazer career versus Felton's entire career... ugh. It's comparing two piles of dog shit for taste and texture.

    One other former Blazer who I think is better than Felton is Patty. Maybe he can channel his inner Jeremy Lin.

    I loved watching Sergio. He'd rather get an assist and make his teammates better than make the basket himself. Nate ruined him as far as I'm concerned.

    I always thought Sergio looked liked Stevie Ray Vaughan's younger brother. :)

    "Fell Tubby" Love that name. I could see that on a t-shirt.
