But Nate should be fired, Oden is a bust, Bayless should get more PT, and Travis does suck

Nik...you are too good of a person to be a Blazers fan...Come join the Lakers bandwagon to the promised land!

That almost sounds like, "Luke .... I am you fa-tha. Come to the Dark Side" "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It's definitely a problem with discussion forums. It's similar to the problem with 24 hour cable news stations. When nothing is happening, all a discussion forum or 24 hours news channel can do is spin its wheels repetitively. There a strange sort of urgency that's completely at odds with a slow-moving phenomenon. We aren't going to know the fate of the 2008-09 Blazers (or the recession) for a while, yet there's a frenetic pace of analysis and argument. Lacking new things to churn through, you just get the same fights and themes turned over more and more rapidly.

That settles it. I'm going to start being more proactive and shake up the status quo myself. Look out guys, expect a wave of Petteri Koponen, Michael Ruffin, Shavlik Randolph, Joel Freeland and 2011 draft threads!!

Let me pre-emptively state: Koponen is a bust.

It's become pretty obvious to me that Oden is the next Blazer the fans are going to pick to rail out of town. The fans never learn. Lets pick a player and rail on them until they are gone. That always works so well, when they get to the point that they hate the fans and the city so much that they deciide not to play hard for the team. Great job fans. Keep it up, and we can be all be eternally frustrated.

Freeland's per 48's in Eurocup and Euroleague are pretty good. And he's not getting much burn from his coach, either.

Ruffin's "dropped rebounds-to-rebound chances" ratio is infinitely better than Frye's.

How great does Shavlik play in practice to be able to get 9 full minutes of garbage time?

2011 draft...blech. Looking at guys who are HS juniors right now? No thanks.
