Since Sly has taken the purity vow to only post links, here's a little taste of the content.

Batum's animated display was meant to illustrate the difference between the 2012-13 Blazers, who were a part of the NBA Draft Lottery, and the 2013-14 Blazers, who won 54 games and reached the second round of the playoffs. The biggest difference, Batum said, was obvious. "We all go home in the summer and work on our games and try to get better," he said. "But there's only so much you can do. RoLo changed everything."

I should post this in "Shit I got Right", but when we signed him, I said RoLo would be our Buck Williams.

Wow what a great read!!!!!

High praise from Nico! Rolo feeds off Nico and I think Rolo's improvement can be in large credited to Nico's ability to feed him in the post. Nico has sacrificed shots since Rolo has been here to get Rolo the easy bucket and draw off defenders. Nico makes bigs better! Love me some Rolo and Kaman on this squad

"There's only one Robin Lopez," Batum said. "And I want him on my team."

Batman-to-Robin lives!

So...who can we get for them...?

The team's trade value has never been higher!

Hey that's my line.

So if the Blazers don't make it to the WCF can we still say "He was exactly what we needed." "He was the missing piece to our team?"

Yep.

No, they'll probably stone him and dump his body in the river.

you post moronic trade ideas whether we make the wcf or not, so why can't they say what they want?

I hope we ride this train until the team falls apart.

About Dame time!

fun read.

So it's "about DAME time" to ride the "L-train" until the "Wheels" falls off, and let the cake "Blake"
