HEY HCP! Somebody f'ed that up, the ending runs on for like a minute and a half of black screen with music.

I can't take the blame on that one! I'll let somebody know though.

Yeah, I wasn't blaming you, I know you produce better quality than that. PS your picture is the funniest I've ever seen you have. I really hope it's true.

Somebody on here mad that profile pic. I think Sly!

At least Babbitt hit 3's unlike Crawchuck for the season and Luke didn't get injured. And Babbitt made more points than Flynn.

Leonard is quickly becoming my favorite Blazer, which is saying a lot since I hate American white centers. he is goofy, but at the same time has a mean streak in him. He also seems very genuine. I hope he becomes an average center in the league, and not one of the many great white hypes that came before him. His either or on blazers tv was very funny. It's easy to root for any 7 foot pro athlete who says he likes bubble baths over showers. [video]http://www.nba.com/blazers/tbtv/video.html?videoID=3899[/video]

Name one American White Center who has Leonard's size and athletic ability (not many 7 foot players can do a between the legs dunk).

He's a hair under Greg Oden when it comes to Athleticism scores.

Compare their numbers here:

I'm rooting for Leonard too, but he seems pretty green from what I saw of him in Summer League - his instincts as a defender are going to take awhile to mature.

Yep, Leonard is a bit unique. He's big and white, but definitely not a stiff. He has crazy athleticism for someone his size.

Yeah, he's raw, but he's got the basic tools and seems to have the desire and work ethic to get better. I look forward to watching him develop.

When you reach a certain age, you earn the right to call anyone under 30 a kid.

BTW, it don't mean it in a condescending way. I've met Elliott and he's a good kid.

BNM - old fart who totally outplayed guys half my age last night

No you don't. It's wrong. Justify it however you want. It's still rude and opens the door for other bs. Doesn't matter who you met. I am pretty sure anyone who is calling someone 'kid' is getting called 'asshole' when not around.

Listen kid, you got to step back and take a deep breath. Everytime you post on here you always come across so angry.... No matter what the topic is son.

Go watch some Ramblin' Rod, kid.

If you're not old enough to remember Heck Harper and Rusty Nails - you're a "kid".......now get the #$%@ off my lawn!

 

[Sinobas]

Woah, Jerry Stackhouse is still in the league?

Next time I decide to post something, i'll pm you to make certain its acceptable first. I am angry. This board is full people with tens of thousands of posts and very few new people or fresh topics. It could be a place for all kinds of blazers related talk but its not - its the same stuff over and over. It's old and tired and not accepting of valuable new members that would bring life to the board. Why would new people post here? To get called "kid"?

Btw, you know me and don't know it. You could be my kid.

 

[THE HCP]

You should look at this forum as kind of a getaway.... You can't take anything these cats post serious. And if you are old enough to be my dad, you're gettin' up there!

It's the off season and fresh topics are few and far between. If you have any or any ideas for some it would be great if you were to post them.

And I agree with you about needing some fresh blood around here.

Nice to see you Mr. Pot.

Seriously, I mean no offense when I refer to someone young enough to be my kid as "kid". In fact, I usually mean it an affectionate way. I play basketball on multiple teams where none of the other players are even half my age - I'm older than their parents. I get along great with all these guys. They're great guys and I enjoy playing hoops with them. I don't get offended when they call me an old man and they don't get offended when I call them kids, because it's all meant in jest. Some of the conversations we have are quite laughable due to the age disparity.

I also work with a lot of guys less than half my age and get along with them great. I enjoy being around young people and the energy and enthusiasm they bring. In person, I'm a very laid back, easy going guy. I'd be willing to bet none of the younger guys I play ball with, or work with, have ever called me an asshole behind my back.

Lighten up a little. You'll enjoy life more.

There are many other Blazer boards. Oregonlive, realgm, espn, club blazers, pro sports daily, I am a trailblazers fan, inside hoops, basketball forum, nba.com, nw sports beat, blazers edge.....Maybe you should go there if you are unhappy here? I think it's silly to stay in a place that makes you so unhappy. Maybe start your own forum?

51? hahaha, old man. Nice to be able to say that to someone. I'd actually appreciate you calling me kid

Not sure if there are any old timer leagues here in PDX. I just play in the regular open leagues. I play on teams in the B, C and D leagues. My role varies depending on the quality of my teammates. On the better teams, I don't look to score much. I did plenty of scoring when I was younger. So, I let the younger guys (the kids) take most of the shots and I focus more on setting screens, rebounding, passing and defense. It's all good. I like playing with the younger guys. I always get in a good run and it helps keep me in shape.
