COURTSIDE

[mgb]

I think excellent execution in half court is very entertaining. I enjoyed watching the Spurs play when they were winning championships. Very efficient very entertaining. The problem is when entertaining is define differently by different people.

I would like to see the Blazers run when the opportunity is there and play good half court offense when it isn't. Kind of like first 7 if it is there, last 7 if it isn't. Of course if someone breaks open for a easy basket give it to them. I do think Nate will trust this team to make the right decision and allow them to run a bit more. I think this season should be very interesting. Even if they start the same starters as last year. I think it won't take long to see which players should be starting.

Nah, I just meant I understand why you want those players playing. It's not to help the Blazers win, it's so you can see the fancy running team pass crazy passes, (risks, you call it) and do the exciting alley-oops, etc. Has nothing to do with actual basketball per-say.

hell one could argue you'd be better served watching the globe trotters

or maybe i am just reading your post wrong...


I watch because i like the game of basketball, slow, fast, whatever, it doesnt matter to me. and i watch the blazers b/c they are our local team, and they're good young up-and-coming players that are fun to support.

I could care less about the risky-entertainment-crap. that just reminds me of WWF/WWE.

I really want to see Oden throw a figure four on Bynum, and if LMA can incoporate more flying body slams into his game I think it could be a very entertaining year.

lol -- I dont know, maybe I am not understanding Maris's posts.

To me it sounds like he doesn't care about wins or losses, just that he is solely entertained by what he watches. Of course, knowing the Blazers play a half-court offense, and as such they are slow to execute, I wonder why he wants to watch. Sounds like he would rather watch a faster team.........

Your mistake was taking him seriously in the first place. Once you realize his posts are just an act, you can just breeze right over them.

Please don't mean what I think you mean. You live with your mom, don't you?

hahaha, no I just like making uncomfortable jokes

 

[Eastoff]

That's tough.......... it's like would you rather have a beautiful wife with a dumpy body or a wife that has an amazing body and a face of a Swamp Donkey?!?

The update guy on The Game just said that Joel and Nate will be guests on tonights Courtside show.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

With the season opener tomorrow, tonights show should be a good one.

 

[THE HCP]

I think this is the prediction show. Where Wheelz, MB and the boys guess what's gonna happen. SHould be fun

 

[Eastoff]

I saw you bump this HCP in the morning but I spaced and forgot about it by the time it airs.

Greg and Marty apparently separating themselves in workouts.

Oh, please. Webster always looks good in workouts. It's in real games where he sucks.
