More Lethal Weapons than Danny Glover?

Yes you heard it here first. Nothing like a drunk free style rap to express how you really feel. In fact I bet Chris Leak is somewhere in this fine world still upset over the sheer dis he received in this video. Nothing more to say, basically i'm just a procrastinating college student right now finding a reason not to finish two ten page papers due tomorrow, cheers!  I hope another drunk OSU fan comes up with something as amazing as This Gem.

Are-we-done-yet-0

Will Ice Cube make his way from the CPT to the PSD to watch his beloved ducks? At least they were apart of his attire in "Are we there yet?"

So Stanford is...


That good, at least right now. For as much as we made USC look silly those Trees from Palo Alto rubbed the trojans face in their proverbial turd about 5 times as bad.. and in their own back yard. All i have to say about the last two weeks of Cardinal football is that I am ridiculously impressed. In a perfect world our duckies win out and thats all there is to it. I'd be happy to see Stanford finish a strong second winning out as well. But to be honest this win over USC puts us in a bit of a pickle pending these last two games as i'm sure most of you have realized by now. But key thing to remember is, we do our part  and no one can touch us. Go ducks and congrats Cardinal.

Rivals 120 countdown, Oregon comes in at......17?

While I really don't disagree with what rivals had to say in their article critiquing the ducks I suppose I just don't understand after all of their explanation they rated our offense a B, I mean really? I understand the genuine concern for the offensive line but the only certainties in Eugene Oregon of late have been rain, hippies, and the offensive line. It just seems in the system we run our O-line is if not great at the very least efficient. The same reason I found no surprise our touted defensive backfield underachieved. In fact the antithesis of the Secondary is our Offensive line. No matter who we have thrown in as a converted center or a makeshift tackle things seem to work themselves out. In contrast we can have the best safeties and D-backs on paper and very easily have "cough" Nick Aliotti" "cough" royally screw things up. Maybe this is opinion I share by myself as I chew on the things I need not worry about for another good month, but I thought i'd share this and open it up for opinions.

Why not Andre Miller?

With Sergio gone the already tumultuous and now less deep position of point guard seems even more wide open. Blake didn't show up in the playoffs and how much can we count on the drive and shoot first point guard play of a young Bayless? While Miller is at the age of 33 he has started every game over the last two season for Phili and scoring over 16.5 with 6.5 assists and an outstanding 4 boards from the 1 spot over that time span. He does not posses the explosive threat of a Bayless or the Three point dagger of Blake but he is extremely solid and has shot over 47% four out of his last six seasons. While common sense would tell us he is on the decline, he just seems to keep steadying the ship and improving. Even if he does have a drop off next year I don't think any Blazer front office personnel or fan would scoff at 15, 5 and 3. Just something to chew on.

Jump shooting rarely wins championships

No matter how nice you find Travis outlaw or friendly Steve Blake may seem to you in post game interviews SOMETHING has to be done about our current roster. As Larry Bird acts as the exception which proves the rule the blazers got blown out of the water by a Rocket team that took advantage of our poor defensive efficiency and our inability to penetrate and score. Every time I watch Outlaw as soon he pulls up and jumps forteen hundred feet in the air to just put up a 15 foot jumpshot I stare at the cieling and ask WHY? On occasion the ball hits the bottom of the net and I rejoice and everything has shifted to an equilibrium of righteousness in my Blazers world. But this just breeds compacency and that is exactly what it seems the Blazers stand for about now.

I would like to think that the flashes of Martell 2 years ago where he took his near Lebron esc frame to the bucket would be a prospect of the future, and we won't have to make a move to improve our offense when it gets down to the nitty gritty but i'm not so sure that is the case.

Honestly i'm not really sure what the tone or purpose of this fan post is. I'm a fan and I wanted to vent my most pressing concern. We need someone who can get to hole who isnt named Brandon Roy. Especially on that second line which takes more outside shots than any team in the NBA should be allotted.

 

K bye Blazers Edge.

What we need to do to beat the L*kers

Bring back Arvydas Sabonis and have him toss bowling passes to Rudy and B Roy on the baseline all game.. Okay ready? BREAK!

Look at that fine young man and his beautiful form at the free throw strike. It appears this is also when he had legs that were more useful.

As for actually beating the Lakers. stop Kobe Box out Lamar who loves getting the scrappiest rebounds. I don't mind letting the "machines" and the Farmars of the world going for 10 as long as it takes them 13 shots to do so.

How the hell did this make the AP?

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=290227016

 

"In three seasons in the NBA, the Trail Blazers forward has been disappointing. But with his team in the running for a playoff berth, Roy is making a point to lead his team by doing more than scoring -- even if it comes at the expense of his teammates' feelings."

 

Brandon Roy is a Forward and has been a disappointment? Those are two things i wasn't aware of. Not to mention by saying he needs to score more at his teammates expense is basically a comment taken out of context. The whole thing is a blatant piece of stupid journalism.

Boyd to make decision Tuesday

According to rivals Tajh Boyd 4 star Quarterback out of Hampton VA has a press conference set for 5 pm eastern time where he will make his final choice. He has boiled it down to Oregon, Ohio State and late arrival and maybe the Duck's largest threat Clemson.

At this Point I'd like to say i'm confident He will choose the green and yellow. But i'm a little scared the distance may be too far and Clemson may have just stolen Boyd. I honestly don't see him going to OSU and playing 3 years behind Pryor, seems counter productive for a guy who seems to want to play right away.

Will we get swept by the Beavers?

No one wants to talk about, hypothesize or merely think about the prospect of our northern neighbors beating us twice this putrid basketball season. But the way I see it at the very least we lose in Corvallis and to be honest I give us maybe a 60 percent chance to win at home. Too early to worry? I honestly think we pick up a win at home.. maybe one of at most 3 wins we get all season.

How do the rest of you see this playing out?
