Good article, I never knew they were so far apart during their first two seasons.

And I feel bad for Outlaw.

That was a enjoyable read.

I think I remember this game.

The next night, against Atlanta, Roy and Aldridge had a dominant stretch of play during which they fed off each other. One play, Roy would use an Aldridge screen to make a jumper. The next play, Roy would use the screen, then find Aldridge rolling to the basket.

BRoy and Travis and Martell were also VERY close to J Jack.

...a touching feel-good article

I actually thought it was cool. I think most people like to know what goes on off the court with these guys. A little behind the scenes look.

Aldridge = jet setting playboy

Roy = stay at home family guy

that outlaw thing must be a joke.

Was a fantastic article

BRoy and Travis and Martell were also VERY close to J Jack.

When they had the Blazers event at Big Als I shook J Jack's hand when he went by and he stop and said hi again on the way out. He was very nice and personable. He seem like Outlaw was described in this article.

I love the behind the scenes stuff. I like to get a feel for how our guys are off the court.
Also, I think Travis was joking around. At the end, it even says all three went out to dinner.
On the curious side, I wonder who hangs out with Raef?

I've read somewhere that his best friend on the team is Joel.

roy seems very mature and family oriented. just seemed more like a home body while LMA looks like he enjoys making it rain. Outlaw seems like the little hick of the group, martell probably is stoned all the time. oden probably chills and plays with his dog. sergio is probably playing video games. rudy probably goes out to fine dinners on the town. Blake likes to just chill at home. hmmmmm....portland needs more partying.

I've seen some of the guys out at Aura before

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I've had my bday party at Aura like 4 out of the last 5 years. haha. (I'm in town every year on my bday...thanksgiving and shit).

Aura is pretty sweet, I tend to prefer McFaddens on most nights though

 

[MAS RipCity]

rudy..fine dining?!? may be true, but dude is a good looking guy (not no homo) and he looks like he and lamarcus would be the ones picking up the chicks at the clubs

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

McFaddens is durty durty. Too bad I won't be in P-town this year for my bday. Last time I was in town, we all got hammered at Envy the night before my homies' wedding. Its pretty cool. I've got to say, People around LA talk shit about the quality of ladies in Portland (a LOT of my friends talk shit about how portland has ugly ass granola girls, etc), but I must say that when I've gone out at night, they've been top notch.

he'll be on his yacht in spain, sexing supermodels every day. I think Sergio will be hired as his waiter!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I just remember with the 90s blazers. Duck was fishing. Clyde was always at home. Who knows where TP and Buck were, maybe eating steaks at Ringside every night. Cliff Robinson was at Wunderland every weekend.

Mercy mercy, jerome kersey was sexing ladies on every block in his ferarri and going out for sushi all the time.

Excellent read and great post.

nice to see you found pictures of Vujacic and Walton and what they do in their free time

I had not known aldridge was so to himself until I started reading about it late this summer. For some reason I just assumed aldridge and roy were close. I don't know why but I just figured that they hung out all the time because they came to Portland together and it just seemed natural that they would look to each other for company. Good to hear that they are closer now I'm sure it will be reflected on the court this season.

You don't have to like each other to play well together. I'd rather they be distant and play well than be buddy-buddy and play like fucking pussies like they did Tuesday.

Amen. Jordan, Kobe and Shaq are egotistical pricks. How many rings do they have?

I sometimes look at this team and see a 2002 Dallas Mavericks. Young, loaded with talent, great friendships. But just not terribly pissed off.

I watched the Rockets game last night and I gotta say that Artest looked pretty damned good on that team. That's another squad where its best players (Yao/McGrady) are easy-going nice guys. He brings an element of aggression that was just missing before. Ron Artest doesn't want to share barbecue with you. He wants to kick your ass in as crazy a way as possible.

I guess you could look at this team and see a young San Antonio squad too. *shrug*

Love each other, hate each other, I don't really care. Win.
