NO lose to the Knicks

[Buzz Killington]

imaginary trade exceptions!

Blazers have no trade exceptions. All exceptions are renounced when cap space is used.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think this summer went anything like KP was hoping.

shocking that the rockets beat the jazz in utah. shocking. with that lineup.... its really hard to believe. i guess we are lucky to have beat them once. and to think we had a 20 point lead.

Don't let them fool you, the Nets are taking it this year.

Oh I agree, the Nets are taking it this year . . . hope they go see Dr. jelly fingers to loosen them up before they take "it."

because to dump Chandler.

no, they are planning to try to keep paul beyond 2011/12 and probably overrated okafor as a complimentary player that would make him want to stay. possibly a fatal mistake for the franchise.

nope!

gonna run out of money by then!

If it wasn't Okafor, it was going to be for Chris Wilcox. They are in cost cutting mode and they're not going to have enough to keep the team around.

So the Blazers have lost to the Nuggets (3-0; should have won that) and to the Rockets (3-1).

The Blazers handed the Rockets their only loss of the year and beat an undefeated Thunder team on the road on the second half of a back to back. Their two wins have come against undefeated teams.

I know it is early and stuff, but the Blazers have been beat up for being 2-2 and playing three "non-playoff" teams. Blazers have not been firing on all cylinders and the basketball hasn't been pretty, but the 2-2 looks respectable given their early season problems and just imagine if/when this team starts clicking.

They are going to be nasty . . .

okafor has 5 years at 60+ mil left. there's obviously long-term plans to keep paul involved if they take on that contract.

I wonder if Chris Paul will flip out and choke a bitch.

Great analogy. Kudos

probably already planning to sign with lakers : )

yeah, there's a plan but depending on how many people support the team and the viability of keeping it in NO, you never know what will happen here. Never underestimate the incompetence of George Shinn.

terrible NBDL team, the Rockets.

They are all quality "NBA" players. I wouldn't mind having most of them on our team. Battier would be a perfect SF for us. Scola would be better than Howard off the bench (and I love Howard). I'd take Brooks over Miller in a heartbeat. Landry would be great on our team. Budinger is a great role player. Ariza would bring championship experience to the fold.

They're a good team. We might face them in the playoffs again. And we'd better be ready.

 

[TripTango]

no worries!

Exactly!

HOW DO THE ROCKETS SCORE????

Just think of Adelman as the engine, and Yao as the hood ornament. Yao is there as eye candy to decoy the opponent.
