Another article about running more with Felton

Felton trying to be diplomatic, and failing:

Ah Felton, that poor bastard. He has no idea what he is getting into. Maybe someone should sit him down and explain the blow up Miller had with Nate to open the offense up a bit? Maybe someone should sit him down and show him all of Nate's teams pace.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 6 times, put a bullet in my head because I'm too stupid to form a rational thought.

 

[MickZagger]

Yeah, because the offense being at a snails pace had nothing to do with Roy....

And your excuse for him in Seattle?

YOU DON"T PLAY THE WAY WE PLAY!

Or something like that.

It was a classic

Faster than Babbit!

Thats good to see Babbit sweat in the background of the Kurt Thomas interview, but seriously can Babbit shoot better this year?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Have we had media day already? Every other year there is always a big thread on it?

Ray Ray and uptempo: http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Supposedly, Nate has a 15 sec shot clock during scrimmages to speed up the games.

Sounds excited. Said more in that interview than Dre did all year. Really liked Dre, but Ray Ray might be a better glue guy and leader for this group.

Media Day is Friday, before the Fan Fest.

Media Day is Friday, before the Fan Fest.

How do you know? Did Mike Barrett tell you in the drive thru?

You wife probably told him in her drive thru


The line was too long to ask her, so I had to ask the forum

FUCK YOU AND YOUR WITTY COMEBACKS!^

In unrelated news, did you know that Armon only has half a ring finger on his right hand?

Gerlad Green had missing fingers. He wasn't that bad when he played.

 

[THE HCP]

I have no balls but am still the MVP of this bitch!

Gerald Green? You mean out of the league already Gerald Green?

At his last random drug test, they had to get someone else to hold his willy just so he could hit the cup. (in other words, no)

"Blazers practice report: Youngsters' film tutorial; what Kurt Thomas brings; more on Raymond Felton".

I wonder about this:


Batum off the bench? Sheesh.

Wallace is better. Not close.

Gerald Green? You mean out of the league already Gerald Green?

Actually, he just signed with the Lakers.

[Rastapopoulos]

Wallace is better. Not close.

At some things, not at others. Wallace is a bit like Shawn Marion: PF skills in a SF body. I wouldn't want him handling the ball much. He certainly doesn't have the passing skills or vision or three point shooting skills of Batum.

Actually, he just signed with the Lakers.

...in the same way that Seth Tarver just signed with the Blazers.

The music mentioned in the above article can be heard in this 360 degree view of practice.

That video is pretty sweet. I wonder how they set that up. Like a camera above with a fish eye lens.

New assistant coach Larry Greer! And why is Kenny Anderson trying to box out Wes?

And why is Kenny Anderson trying to box out Wes?

I thought Devin Harris.

Portland = sleeper team. Just you wait and se. (If Nate loosens the reigns. He did allow players to blast Tupac at practice today, a change)

 

[THE HCP]

sheridanhoops

and then there is the Jamal Crawford factor -- if he goes there.

OK, I'm going to go negative for a second ... Adam Bjornson is fucking terrible!!

HAHA! That's my dawg!

Ummm ... I don't know what came over me there (weird?). Yeah, he's great

Rice basically said he was in favor of the Wallace trade. (to give Batum more minutes)
