haha, i agree with you 100%. most of my friends think im crazy, but he is productive as well as a fan favorite. sure there may be better options at the backup 4 spot, but the Blazers need rebounding, toughness and a little bit of attitude. i dont think the Birdman is a detriment to his team...

this whole thing seems rushed and orchestrated by the few on behalf of the many who dont want the MLS or dont care. i am a huge Timbers supporter, make most of the games and best friends with one of the head honchos of the Army. but all this just doesnt sit well for a number of reasons...

well the big question is who is going to be his coach this summer? he needs the practice, conditioning and footwork. if not he's primed to be the next Olowokandi. i dont care if it's in portland, columbus, OH or Antarctica.

did anyone else catch what Rice said about Von Wafer?! haha i think it was at the beginning of the 4th and there was a timeout or something, as the game was just about to resume. Mike and Mike were talking about the game and Wafer sat on the scorer's table right in front of them, in the way...

well yea, i said he's a nice player. but i dont think he'd get portland over any hump. what would Andre Miller do in a series against Houston where they had the entire lane completely locked down pretty much all series (aside from some acrobatic layups from Roy)? drive and dish? sounds nice, but...

of course he was very disappointing in the playoffs, but i'd rather wait another playoff series or two before shipping him off. did everyone really expect him to light it up against Houston, in his first ever playoff series? guarded by Battier and Artest for many minutes? some guys need...

i think Miller is a really nice player but only for the MLE or a VERY reasonable contract. he'd be a nice piece, but we'd still be groaning at times saying we need a prime PG to go against the likes of Parker, Deron Williams, CP, etc. the guy is a career .210% shooter from 3. that's...

my first instinct says yes, but we have to remember that Artest is a sociopath. he's been on decent behavior for the last couple of seasons but it could only be due to the fact that Adelman might him in check for whatever reasons. im sure he's matured, but guys like that are able to go off...

Re: Von Wafer out tonight ok so literally subtracting his 6 points in game 3 would have helped the Blazers, but you cant play that game. "if LMA hadnt missed a couple of those FT's in game 4 we would have WON!" sure Von Wafer being out certainly helps the Blazers, he has been a lightning...

Re: Ron Artest with some high praise for BRoy let's not forget that Artest is a sociopath...and a criminal.

Re: Von Wafer out tonight Brent Barry wont beat the Blazers. Von Wafer didnt beat the Blazers. The Blazers played like the youngest team in the league at the end of games 3 and 4. simple as that.

you're a loser

McCluess isnt even a clever nickname for McMillan, you have to try harder than that. i dont know why all the Nate hate here, sure he could do a few things differently but all this venom is similar to his first and second seasons where everyone said he had to go. the first year or two in the...

that was a nice article by wired, thanks for posting. this is precisely like the Napster case from several years ago. by the time they got around to prosecuting Napster, it was peanuts compared to the million other ways to get music files. now piratebay, while perhaps the torrent leader...

i guess its better for ratings or they wouldnt be doing it, but i just lose interest if i have to wait 2 days in between games. particularly for any other series other than the one im interested in. so the blazers first three games: Sat - Tues - Fri ? what a joke! on the weekends in the...
