Spanish Armada?

[Rastapopoulos]

Was it a tearful reunion?

I suspect Sergio teared up when the Blazers made the playoffs and he realized he's going to be heading out on vacation soon.

Hopefully Rudy realized how lucky he is to be here in Portland. Big City and losing is no fun!

Sergio is coming back next year!!!

Don't we already have one defensively challenged, turnover prone PG? Or are you going the Fire Bayless route?

turn on that sarcasm meter boy! And no I'm not on the Fire Bayless route lol. I dont think Bayless is defensively challenged though. Not great, but a billion times better than el Chacho

One of those two seemed to have an easier time beating the other off the dribble and getting to the hoop last night.

Maybe Portland can get Rubio and create a Spanish Armada that actually is worthwhile.

Both were not good last night IMO.

I think in last nights game that the Blazers were actually shocked that Sergio took some of those layins instead of passing the ball outside. After he did it 3 times in a row, they pretty much picked up on it and started playing him for real. But to be honest, it blew me away that he completed the layin attempts. Whenever he played here, he would drive in, pass up an open layin to pass it out to some 3 point shooter.

He tried that last night and there was no one paying attention to catch it... The ball sailed out to midcourt! Tough to play a selfless game with that cast of misfits for teammates.

Yea not only were they not paying attention, there was just flat out nobody there!

And the few times he actually tried to lay it in, he'd miss terribly. I turned to Storyteller (who was sitting in my seat, I was sitting one row down) and said, "If he would've finished like that once in a while when he was here, he'd still be a Blazer," lol...

Yea maybe so. But I have never liked players that make the game hard. Players that pass up easy buckets for hard one's have no love from this Blazer fan. Sergio is gone. Outlaw is gone. The only Blazer that typically still makes the game too hard for himself, that is still on the roster, is Martell.

Heading back to the Canary Islands can't be too bad.

Which is weird, because they certainly weren't guilty of packing it in under the hoop. I've never seen so many players hide on both offense and defense as that disaster of a Knicks team.

and, this has always bugged me about this nickname, didn't the Spanish Armada get the shit kicked out of it by the more maneuverable British ships?

I'd rather not have a Spanish Armada, in that sense.

Last year, the MSP guys were heavily advocating "Spanish Fly" over "Spanish Armada", mostly as a reference to their preferred faster pace and frequent alley-oops, but also partly due to the sexual connotation. I have to say, I sided with them on that one.

The mission was a total failure and a landmark in naval history for a poorly planned and badly handled operation.

Maybe they don't teach their history well in Spain itself. Like some people think we won Vietnam.

Nobody expects the Spanish Armada!
