Show me your Blazers youtubes

It's the time of year when there's nothing new going on, so why not make a clip show. Post your favorite Blazers youtubes from any era.

Brandon Roy's swan song:


Andre Miller gets suspended a game, thereby breaking his Iron Man streak. Worth it though:


And I'll just pick some low-hanging fruit:

Lillard begins the rebuild:

Lillard begins the rebuild:

The vast wasteland of incompetent point guards--Telfair, Blake, Sergio, Stoudamire--broken up by a sadly short stretch of Andre Miller.

With this one game, Lillard's first pro game ever, against a Lakers team everybody was talking about, I knew the wait was finally over.

Not a single highlight but an actual series of them. Because this guy is/was just too damn good to be contained by one single clip.

Andre Miller gets suspended a game, thereby breaking his Iron Man streak. Worth it though:

This is one of my all time favorite blazer moments. Effin' love Andre Miller.

Thanks for not mentioning Ray Ray. It's best if we forget that lockout season.

The only highlights were getting rid of Nate and the Gerald Wallace trade.

That dunk over Cartwright is my all-time favorite Drexler moment, but I do love that sexy finger roll.

If there's one thing Steve Blake was, he was competent.

Underwhelming? Sure. But incompetent? Not so much.

He was at best the 28th best starting point guard during his tenure.

That's your definition of competence?

Well, his career assists-to-turnovers ratio of about 2.8 is probably average or better, I'd say that was a fairly good indicator of competence...

How so? do you have stats showing he was one of the three worst?
Even then stats to give the whole story.
Blake was absolutely a competent general on the floor.
Was he a star? No. Was he better than average? probably not. But one of the worst three? Like to see that backed up with something.

 

[illmatic99]

28th might have been generous.

In 2007-08 he started 78 games. He had a PER of 12.01, ranking 46th among PGs. Telfair was the only one who played more minutes for Minny that season at PG who was worse. 2008-09 was a bit better for Blake when he climbed to 23rd among PGs in PER. Only players who played more than him who were worse were Rafer Alston, Ray Felton, Mario Chalmers and Jarrett Jack.

I.e. incompentent.

Blake sucked.

@BlazerWookee has an unhealthy Mike Barrett esque love for Blakey.

Thanks for that. I guess I am a homer for him as well. I loved him and his toughness. Probably the toughest guy we have had on our team in the last decade. Miller being a close second if only ofr how he took out Griffin that one time.

Underwhelming? Sure. But incompetent? Not so much.

He was a competent backup. He was never meant to be a starter.

 

[BlazerWookee]

He was a competent backup. He was never meant to be a starter.

When he started next to Brandon Roy, Brandon was decidedly more effective than he was alongside Andre Miller.

Miller won the starting job over Blake halfway through his first season. It was only Nate's incompetence that kept Dre benched as long as he was. Once Miller got the starting job he never lost it again.
Brandon was decidedly more effective when he had two functional knees, which was sort of true in Miller's first season. (Roy logged 2400 minutes in Miller's first year, and 1300 in his second.)
Notice who wasn't playing in that first video I posted where Roy has his last hurrah? Blake. Because we let him go to the Lakers despite what a great fit he supposedly was.

 

[mook]

You don't have to believe me though about Blake. Just look at his career. He had two years of starting and never got the role again. And rightly so.
