Brandon's comments about the officiating....a poll

It's only a one game sample and even though I didnt ever take statistics in college I know that's not enough to draw a meaningful conclusion but anyway.........

 

I had a bad feeling when I heard Brandon's comments after his amazing game vs Phoenix.  While what he said was obviously true (superstar players get favorable treatment) and while he is in my opinion the closest thing we have had to a superstar, I believe if officials hear that kind of think they wont take too kindly to being called out as corrupt.  He then took it one step further by saying in effect, now he will receive that kind of biased officiating as well......

 

So I must ask via a poll....will those comments come back to haunt him (or have they already)?????  When was the last time Roy was called for fouls like that????

 

 

Poll
Do you think Brandon's comments about the officials having to respect him the same way they "respect" Kobe and Lebron will (or already has) hurt him this season?

Carmelo is OUT

Interesting news...

We should be division leaders by tomorrow morning...

 

Hopefully we can punish them during this tough stretch and grab the division lead.  

 

I also cannot stress enough that we have 4      FOUR     IV games left against OK Thunder-Sonics,,,,  let the feast begin.  We also have some tasty feasts left against Charlotte, Minny, Milwaukee, that second half looks mighty good right about now.

 

Thanks Stern!!!!!  Your schedule favoritism is backfiring this year for sure......

2008-2009 Team Introduction

However trivial this matter is, the season anticipation has me wondering what order the starting five will be introduced in when the home opener kicks off????

 

I am interested in who you think will come out of the huddle last in that time honored tradition of your #1 guy?????  Will the excitement of Oden be too much to place him anywhere else but fifth??????  Or does Brandon deserve the respect of the fifth slot based on his phenomenol perfromance and clear position as the squad leader?

Poll
Who will be announced last when the Blazers come onto the floor during the home opener?
LaMarcus Aldridge
