Poor guy. I wonder if he gets picked up. I never had a problem with him. I wish him well.

 

[LittleAlex]

Poor Juan on Five. He just never got his due.

 

[maxiep]

Juan is a good guy. Given his size and athleticism, he's had a hell of a career. If this is it for him, he should be proud of what he accomplished.

SF: Darius Miles
PF: Viktor Khryapa

Yes, folks, that was an actual starting lineup.

And Ha only played 4 minutes! Kareem Rush scored 28 on us and Blake had 9 assists!

I think our summer league team this year was better than that. Ouch.

That is why when I look at the problems of todays team, I don't get down. As long as it never goes back to how it was then, I am good with it.

That box score is a big bowl of misery for both teams. Just a shame that somebody was actually called "winner" at the end of the game.

Damn.. other than Ha, we had no players taller than 6-9 who played in that game. What a big mess that season was..
As for Dixon, I wasn't a big fan. The guy bricked so many shots, and was told to shoot more because he was one of the few who had the ability to make a shot outside 15 feet.

New expression: "It's too bad that one team had to win this game."

Juan was a dick. I never liked him.

Why was he a dick? His problem is that he's the world's smallest SG. He weighs 164 pounds (click on his name in the box score to see it). It's impossible for him to play defense or drive into traffic, but he did it anyway and often came up with great clutch baskets. He won games in the 4th quarter with clutch drives. He was the Outlaw of that time (speaking of skinny guys who can't play like they should because they get knocked down if they try).

 

[Master Shake]

As we type, I am wearing my Juan Dixon Raptors jersey. Stitched.

Juan Brixon.

Brings back some memories from OLive.

Look at the rest of our playing roster that game; I think we played Viktor at center that game, and Ruben at PF. But that team did shoot 55% for the game and 44% from 3pt land!

Juan less Hispanic Causin' Panic

lol. And they still lost by 4.

Even when that team was good (which was practically never) they were still bad.

 

[THE HCP]

Juan was a cool guy! Real cool, I wish him the best.

 

[Nate Dogg]

I never liked the guy when he was in Portland. I wish him luck though.

Lookit Trout with the four blocks

Lookit Trout with the four blocks

Sadly, the last time he did that was in 2006. Over the past three seasons as his minutes have gone up, his blocks per 36 min have declined.
