I'm loving this Bill Walton interview!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Why can't Meyers be good?!! He's athletic, fucking big, and can shoot... thats like what you dream for in an NBA big man but the fucker can't even rotate correctly on defense.

@Boob-No-More put it nicely. He's the MS-DOS of NBA players -- strictly a single task operating system. He probably doesn't know how to chew bubble gum and walk at the same time?

 

[A$AP Meyers]

That lineup was so bad, kudos to them for holding an 8 point lead.

 

[Scalma]

"Are you Dave?"

 

[Cippy91]

When Meyers gets deep position in the post, lol

 

[Nikolokolus]

I miss Walton. Hilarious.

 

[illmatic99]

How high is Bill right now?

"Are you Dave?"

 

[MickZagger]

Bill Walton is my hero!

 

[LuckyShot]

"I love Portland, I love Oregon."

Say that, and sincerely mean it, and we'll love you forever.

 

[Jade Falcon]

When Meyers gets deep position in the post, lol

He is so terrible.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

"Are you Dave?"

He probably smells like Blue Dream.

 

[Cippy91]

What's great is he said it out of no where too.

Meyers plays "put the ball in the basket" while everyone else is playing basketball.

 

[KingSpeed]

Doris: is it true...

Bill: it's all true!!

lol

 

[B-Roy]

Even if you hate how Walton left the team, he did help them win their only championship in history. And he's got literally the most Portland personality out of anyone even remotely associated with the NBA. This man screams Portland.

How could you dislike him?

 

[MickZagger]

"Are you Dave?"

hahaha.

I was watching a pac12 broadcast the other day and it was Walton and guy named Greg Heister. About halfway through the broadcast Walton says, "Greg that was great ball movement". He then said, "your name is Greg, right". Heister did this embarrassed laugh, said "yes". Walton goes, "good, you look like a Greg".

I started busting up laughing.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

alright why does terry still have this lineup in

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers plays "put the ball in the basket" while everyone else is playing basketball.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

PattyC to save us?

 

[DUB]

We stopped their offensive rebounding in the 3rd (they only got 1), and we've pulled further ahead.

GO BLAZERS!

 

[LuckyShot]

Fucking hell, Aminu, recognize your limitations and play within them.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

aminu should never touch the ball on a fastbreak

he actually should never touch the ball

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Is this Aminu's worse game ever?

 

[Nate]

Maybe it's the fact that he palms the ball and brings his fingertips back off the ball when he reaches his set point? Or the fact that he bends his wrist sideways to get his hand under the ball but he doesn't do it till he reaches his set point? Or maybe its because his elbow is out so much.

Check out his shot in slow motion. It's actually kinda funky.

There was a thread about his shot a while back, it showed how he brings his finger tips off. Anyone know what the name of it was?

 

[illmatic99]

CJ's been trying that lefty finish for a while now. Kids got guts. Finally got it down

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Aminu needs to watch tape on Tony Allen and only do things he does, like not leading fast breaks.

 

[Scalma]

I swear to god if I could just play basketball like CJ for one day....

 

[DUB]

Lovely floater by CJ!

 

[Scalma]

Aminu needs to watch tape on Tony Allen and only do things he does, like not leading fast breaks.

Or dribble the basketball, or shoot.

 

[Cippy91]

Now I am just waiting to hear if Bill walton has heard Dames song on him plus whatever conversation they have after the game
