Lamarcus Returns....

[riverman]

I'd make a sign that said...Hey LA! We don't know!!!!

"I guess everything IS bigger in Texas..."

So tools are bigger in Texas too.

 

[Blazinaway]

I won't boo him. He represented the city well.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I won't boo him. He represented the city well.

And left before finishing the job

sent from a phone you've probably never heard of

 

[Strenuus]

I won't boo him. He represented the city well.

Serious question: What did he do that represented the city well?

Portlandia with Penny Marshall

 

[Strenuus]

Portlandia with Penny Marshall

But he didn't put a bird on it...

Now, Rebecca Haarlow....

 

[KingSpeed]

I feel the same about this game now as I did when we were 4-2.

And what is that? You think we'll lose? Like we were supposed to lose to Minnesota? And Utah? And Memphis?

Exact same reason people on here think we will be good this season even though we won't....... allegiance to the pinwheel makes people blind to common sense!

We ARE good. On pace for 41 wins. Big wins on road against Utah and Minnesota. Big home win over Memphis.

 

[KingSpeed]

To answer this thread's question, I expect us to blow out SA like we did to Memphis. If I were there, I would boo Aldridge loudly. He clearly said he would come back and then bailed. Turns out we dodged a bullet and are a much better team without him. 15-20 point win for Blazers tomorrow.

Can you pick a different number, it's been bad the last couple of nights.

 

[ripcityboy]

I hope we bear them so bad they are too ugly for radio. But honestly, I look forward to seeing Aldridge play again as receiving a Blu-ray copy of Glitter in the mail.

 

[PCmor7]

Who?

 

[42N8Bounce]

I wouldn't, but Blazer fans are pretty loyal no matter what.

Blazer fans are loyal to the Blazers. LA is no longer a Blazer. On top of that, he chose to leave. I'm a season ticket holder. I will cheer the Blazers through the good times and bad. I love this current team. I welcome back ex-Blazers that I enjoyed watching while they were a Blazer, but left to no choice of their own (Blake, Barton, Lopez, Wes...). But any Blazer that chose to leave is dead to me. On top of that, LA quit on us in the playoffs. Yes, it was his choice to leave. It is now my choice to boo him for that decision.

 

[riverman]

I want to beat this Spurs team more than any team in the league

 

[dviss1]

Um...

Yeah... I'm not going to touch that one either! So many different retorts....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I hope that little douche canoe Jabari Whatshisface doesn't show up.

 

[SpamKing]

When his name is announced I will stand up and then turn my back on him, just like he did to us. I won't boo; that takes more energy than he's worth . . .

 

[THE HCP]

We ARE good. On pace for 41 wins. Big wins on road against Utah and Minnesota. Big home win over Memphis.

So far so good huh? Go back and look at my prediction Jinx....... I said early we will catch teams off guard and gets some early wins. Go look. I then said, the opposing teams scouts will start to figure us out, and guess what, they have. Four of these next five games are going to be pretty tough man.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Since when is 41 wins "good"???

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Since when is 41 wins "good"???

Since losing four of your starting five to the plague.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Have someone take a video of you doing that. That would be AWESSSSOMMMMEEEE

 

[Schilly]

Lamarcus was asked if returning to Portland as a Spur is going to be weird or uncomfortable... his response was that the only thing weird was going to be staying at a hotel..... why do I feel like the fans are completely disrespected by that statement? Lamarcus is a narcissistic birch.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

He never gave a fuck about this franchise.

Because the hotels are so VASTLY different from city to city....

I wonder if he's going to fly here by himself... he's done it before.

 

[Tunchi]

For some reason he hated this city. That's why Dame is so refreshing you can tell night and day the difference how they embrace the city..

I am over Aldridge, and I would venture most people are. If not, should be over him after tonight.

He's the second best statistical player in Blazers history, and the only thing that got us was one series victory, ironically sealed by his successor. Over the course of 9 seasons he never cared about the city, kept to himself, and never embraced his role as leader. Every fluff piece written about Aldridge's leadership skills were how he was a "silent" leader that led by example. Bullshit, he just never wanted the responsibility.

He didn't owe us anything when he left, fair enough, but we don't owe him anything in return. Boo, cheer, be silent, do what ever you want. My gut is telling me he's not in for the warmest reception.

 

[mook]

People booed Turkoglu for years after he snubbed Portland. That rejection pales in comparison to Aldridge's Decision.

If I were Aldridge I wouldn't eat in any Portland restaurants.

Ever.

 

[mook]

Myself, I'm bitter as hell this year about him, and I want him to fail disastrously. He's pretty much in that same tier of Kobe/Shaq in their prime in terms of unrequited resentment.

That said, just like Shaq/Kobe, I respect the player's game and know he doesn't really give a shit what Blazer fans say or do. When he gets fitted for his eventual championship ring, he won't spend one second of thought about how angry we are any more than Clyde cared about how obnoxious it is that he ignores his legacy as a Blazer.

Part of the fun of being a fan is hating a guy's guts and knowing it doesn't really matter. You pay $300 for a ticket so you have the right to boo your heart out. It's all part of the game.
