I have the league pass, so I'll be rootin' on my boy!

Thanks. Hope he plays well.

I might also forget to pay attention for Trav's return. I'd like to see his first game back.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Go Blake!

 

[THE HCP]

Thanks. Hope he plays well.

I'm sure a lot of people no longer care, but I'll remind you guys when Trav will make his debut also.

With Bassy getting traded today, Blake could get 25 minutes.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

With Bassy getting traded today, Blake could get 25 minutes.

With the way Baron Davis played last game, he might get 40 mins.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Kick some ass Blakey!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

How bad is Telfair when some writers called Blake a "major upgrade."

 

[Nikolokolus]

I'm sure a lot of people no longer care, but I'll remind you guys when Trav will make his debut also.

Nah, I'll care. I really do hope Trav finds a home somewhere and flourishes. I just didn't see him being a long term fit here anymore.

Blake is just very very 'average' ... in this case that is a major upgrade.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

With the way Baron Davis played last game, he might get 40 mins.

If Kim starts Blake over Baron at any point in the season because Blake's just "more steady with the rock", I will laugh my fucking ass off.

I dunno... check out the Oregonian archives circa 2004...

Word is Baron Davis is out tonight, so Blake is going to start!

Man, they look so down @ the PC: http://www.nba.com/clippers/video/2010/02/17/blakeoutlaw100217MP4-1234743/index.html

Yikes. I know that they are professionals and are very well paid - but we followed Travis since he arrived here as a kid with no concept of the world. Breaks your heart.

 

[Entity]

Yeah, I watched about a minute and a half of that and stopped it. I couldn't look at their faces. There are honest answers, and there are answers you just have to give for the best result. No enthusiasm from either of them. I hate that they probably feel like castaways because I really think they wanted to stay.

I almost feel dirty watching that video ... these guys aren't supposed to be human beings!

 

[julius]

If Steve Blake could shoot lasers out of his eyes, the whole entire audience there (what, 3 reporters?) would be dead

 

[illmatic99]

Game's about to start. Go Blakey!

 

[barfo]

That's very sad. I'm sure part of it is just that neither of them loves being behind the mike, and part of it is us projecting, but it looked like:

Q: Steve, your mother just died. How are you coping?
A: Well, what can you do? I'm just know she's in a better place, that's all.

Q: Travis, you've been battling depression for most of your life. Have the new drug treatments helped any?
A: No.... no, not really. Y'know. I don't know...

Blake looks pretty good out there ... the Clips look a little shocked to be playing with an unselfish point guard.

Jesucristo, that was brutal. Did anyone else notice how many questions started off with "Is it tough..."

We needed a big man and we had to trade someone, but crap on a cracker, I feel sorry for those two guys.

With his MartyFeldmanitis, he can shoot in two directions at the same time.

Exactly. I was trying to come up with questions to capture their mood, but you just did it. Did you notice when they moved Travis' mike and he almost seemed like he wanted to hide behind it?

That was the basketball equivalent of eating a fantastic hamburger, then having to watch a video of the cow your hamburger came from being smacked in the head with a pneumatic hammer and slaughtered.

I liked both guys, and I kinda wish we could have scammed Camby for cash and draft picks...

Is that your best description of those guys?

 

[maxiep]

Is that your best description of those guys?

I guess we know which one would have to be the cracker, right?

 

[ABM]

I can see a new sitcom or reality show now: Catfish and a Cracker

 

[RoyToy]

I really hate the look of them in Clippers gear. It just looks so wrong. Especially on Outlaw.

 

[illmatic99]

OMG Blake just threw a lob!
