Why not Roy?

john_thomas_taylor — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 06:47:05 -0000

Why can’t our starting 5 look like Roy, Fernandez, Webster, Aldridge, Oden 1-5 in that order and then our bench be Blake, Bayless, Batum, Outlaw, Pryz… I am not going to lie I like our team the way it is, I am not a fan of getting rid of talent not knowing what we have. Oden? Webster? Bayless w/ minutes? I actually just got done posting this as a reply a moment ago, but I was curious what others thought about the rotation so I thought I would post it here. In addition, and not to offend anyone I am tired of hearing about the newest Raptor...

Our Blazers W/ POLL

... Are growing up so quickly, and they are tied for the 5th best record in the NBA, but prior to me drifting off into a peaceful slumber tonight in the warm confines of my home I just wanted to write and mention our current winning streak of 5 games. Last year about this time we had a little streak as well. Granted it ended in Utah under the watchful eye of Coach Dean and not Nate. I wonder when this will end I would love to go into Boston and leave with a "W"...

I AM JUST CURIOUS HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT LAST?

All-Star Voting

john_thomas_taylor — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 04:20:42 -0000

I just wanted to throw my All-Star voting Technique out there to you all. Obviously in the West I vote for our Blazers (Aldridge, Oden, and Roy) and I write in Rudy I leave the other Guard spot empty along with the remaining Forward spot (Why give the other guys votes that could hurt the Blazers chances...

As for the East The only ex-Blazers are Wallace and O'neal So I side with Wallace and then give the tip of my hat to Pierce, Wade, Richard Hamilton (for my wife, she grew up in Detroit) and LeBron... That is my technique/suggestion leave those other 2 spots empty in the West!!!

Go Blazers and GREAT win over Detroit!!!

Blazer Dilemma

john_thomas_taylor — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:30:51 -0000

Okay not really a Blazer Dilemma as much as a personnal dilemma. My Mother-in-law of 2 and a half years is having her 50th Birthday party tomorrow night... And the television I am 95% positive will not be showing the beginning of greatness for the next 10 years. So either I can fake I am sick or find another logical excuse to provide to my wife... any help would be greatly appreciated.... My wife says there will not be a good enough excuse, so it needs to be really really really good!

What would you do as a die hard Blazer fan???

Assistance needed

Hello to all of you walking on cloud nine!!! Yes that would be fans or fanatics that follow the Portland Trail Blazers religiously.. When you wake up in the morning you look up every website that might have anything that has anything to do with Basketball in the hopes of the phrase "Portland Trail Blazer" and then you go to a different site and read the same articles.Or you open the Oregonian and read the article you just read on-line... Anyhow the reason I am writing is just to try to locate the Kevin Pritchard Parody song I heard today on 95.5 the game... If anyone can find a link to it I would appreciate it... Thanks to all of you fanatics for your assistance in helping change my wife to a die hard Blazer fan.
