"I shall vanish and be no more,
But the land over which I now roam
Shall remain
And change not."
-Omaha Warrior's Song

I'm trying to be a good troll, much closer to the original mythological creatures in Scandinavia and Iceland and not what is typically associated with Internet trolls. I rarely have insider information and most posts are pure speculation. But unicorns approve of my comments.

Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 400 rebounds, and 65 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.

Greg, despite all your injuries you're still young enough to make the HOF despite only playing 82 regular season games in 3 years

"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''

Text on a 1979 RC Cola can (series with 35 players): "Bill Walton, 6'11'' 225 C, 11-5-52 UCLA, Best center in NBA in '77-'78. Deft passer as well as high percentage shooter. In a class of himself when healthy." Love that last sentence.

Blazersedge Commented LA has also way more than 300k people, and still that's about as much as a Lakers player gets nationally (Bynum) on First NBA All-Star results released on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 5:21 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented I wonder why T-Mac was even on the ballot. It's not like he injured himself last week, that was known long before the season he wouldn't play much in the first half on Junk 12/10 --Light my Fire on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 5:16 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented Hey that's creative, I would have never thought about rhyming those on Junk 12/10 --Light my Fire on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:30 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented A pretty poor designer if you ask mechanical engineers. It's not incredibly well suited for the kinds of pressures it has to endure. on Patella Injuries in NBA History (And Other Sports) on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:27 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented on Berger: League Attendance Struggles, Blazers Roll Along on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:26 PM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented I'm surprised how well OKC performed. That they are already operating at a profit speaks for the relocation. on Berger: League Attendance Struggles, Blazers Roll Along on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:13 PM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented Operating expenditures (and income) is much more than player salaries. And those will rather rise than fall in the future. on Berger: League Attendance Struggles, Blazers Roll Along on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:12 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented on Junk 12/10 --Light my Fire on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 3:02 PM EST

Blazersedge Commented The most similar starter might be Bibby (in terms of assists, shots he gets assisted on, turnovers, age, etc.) on Game 23 Recap: Blazers 102, Pacers 91 on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 2:26 AM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented That was linked in the related movies. All pretty gory, but good direction. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 2:21 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented Best shootout never seen in the US. Directed by John Woo. Very bloody. Maybe the hero kills more people than Rambo? on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 2:09 AM EST (3 replies)

Blazersedge Commented He's the most popular columnist they have? At least after Simmons, maybe before? on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 2:05 AM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented Yeah, Nate seemed very desolate when Nic went down. He seemed to really plan with him to take pressure off Roy and the big guys by putting him on the best wing player again. on Game 23 Recap: Blazers 102, Pacers 91 on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 2:04 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented You really should. There is some great comedy in there. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 1:58 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented Just kidding on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 1:46 AM EST (3 replies)

Blazersedge Commented Roy has been pretty adamant about not wanting to play the 3 on either end of the floor, and also control the ball quite a bit on Game 23 Recap: Blazers 102, Pacers 91 on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 1:42 AM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented Cavs are in a slump according to their beat writer, and can be beaten if you apply defensive pressure. Go Blake! on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 1:05 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented That wouldn't be too nice. He could work well in the triangle offense and help enough on defense to give Kobe some time. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:54 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented I like that Boozer is studying his fingernails while sitting on the bench. Insert flowchart here. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:47 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented If the Lakers play like that, they would run the Blazers out of the building. Even their scrubs play strong. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:42 AM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented You know who else has no point guard for the future: The Lakers on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:29 AM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented They should, and move either one to shooting guard. Williams certainly can play it, Wall probably. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:29 AM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented The top 9 in the next draft all look good. Depends on the lottery, and I don't think any team trades their potential chance at Wall. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:26 AM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented Could we get the Knicks pick from Utah for Rudy? They didn't have a good SG in ages (since ca. Hornacek). on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:24 AM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented Less than John Wall :) on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/10/09 12:22 AM EST

Blazersedge Commented But his shot is much better than in high school. He becomes useful in the half-court offense with dribble drives on Gameday Open Thread: Blazer vs. Pacers--Second-Half and Onward on Blazersedge - 12/09/09 11:37 PM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented Wall plays a little bit out of control at times (7 tos), but his shot is much better than in high school on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/09/09 11:34 PM EST (2 replies)

Blazersedge Commented I would have said Dwyane Wade since Williams rarely dunks. But might work as well. In some ways he's also like a young Kidd. on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/09/09 9:40 PM EST (1 reply)

Blazersedge Commented on JD-9-12-2009///2010 Draft on Blazersedge - 12/09/09 9:39 PM EST
