5 Questions! The Joel Freeland edition

[Rastapopoulos]

Is Rugby really better than American Football?

Duh! Even Rugby LEAGUE is better than American Football.

Arsenal or Manchester United?

That's like saying "Lakers or Heat?"

 

[Eastoff]

Who has more attractive ladies, America or England?

Who was the toughest defensive assignment you've had?

Maybe he likes the Gents?! Why so quick to assume? PS I would never say that to his face.

 

[Eastoff]

Who is the funniest teammate on the Blazers?

 

[blue9]

My British in-laws say The TARDIS Room on North Killingsworth has the best fish and chips they've ever had in the States. Have you been there, and are they right?

They aren't right.

In a similar vein, NBA fans bellyache about the refereeing constantly. How do the refs from the ACB compare with those in the NBA? Is there any aspect of NBA officiating you wish were more like Europe?

Don't get him fined lol

Who hits harder, Andrew Bogut or your sister?

This is the best question in thread and must be asked.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Your ability to go straight up against the defender has been remarkable this season, do you feel like part of your success has been earning the refs respect on that or are you just THAT fundamentally sound that there is no way they can blow the whistle?

Freeland is the defender. Perhaps change the wording to: Your ability to go straight up on defense...

Would you rather win a gold medal for England in the Olympics or win a championship with Portland?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Would you rather win a gold medal for England in the Olympics or win a championship with Portland?

Don't make the guy answer that! He would say both equally.

Might have better luck if you rephrased it to be: Which would be an bigger thrill, winning a Gold Medal for England or winning a championship with Portland?

Probably would still get the same answer though.

Ask him what his favorite movies are and if he gets to watch a lot of movies? Also his favorite bands\What kind of music does he like?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Ask him if he can ever see a thick cloud of smoke in the locker room?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ask him if he can ever see a thick cloud of smoke in the locker room?

[jlprk]

When is your next fight on-court with a white nonAmerican from an English-speaking country?

Using your fingers and toes, tell us how many basketball fans Britain has.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

God save the Queen, or the Blazers?

Crappier weather, Farnham or Portland?

Are there fake tough guys like Garnett and Bogut in England? How do you determine if it's a scrap versus a tantrum, or do you just assume any outburst on a basketball court is a tantrum?

What's the biggest adjustment you had to make going from Euro culture to Portland "culture"?

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Why don't you just play these teams yourself?

I don't think we are talking repeat threepeat or even a fourpeat. What are your thought on a minimum eightpeat blazer championship run?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Romana or Sarah Jane?

BNM

 

[riverman]

Duh! Even Rugby LEAGUE is better than American Football.

That's like saying "Lakers or Heat?"

Are landlords in Portland meaner than in England? What about astronomers?

 

[BrianFromWA]

who (aside from your obvious hard work) has been the most important in your development this year? Hughes? Stotts? LMA? Sports Psychologist? Watching tapes of Ewing?

 

[BrianFromWA]

What changes in the international game would you like to see in the NBA, if any? Goaltending allowed on the rim?

Do you think an expansion NBA franchise in London would be viable in London in the next 10 years? What other cities would you go to to fill out a 4-or-5-team division?

Who's the best player you've played against (or in Europe) who's not in the NBA?

Can a Euro-style coach (like Blatt) make it in the NBA, or would they be too strict or not flexible enough?
