Im not a fan

lyfefindsaway — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 05:19:09 -0000

I live in Dallas now,, you dont hear about the mavericks too much down here out of season because of the 8 major college and the nfl team taking the spot light and we arent even going to go into the high school foot ball, with the air conditioned luxury suites and press boxes... I worked in san antonio for a week... all I heard were complaints about manu playing in the olympics and how they were going to be in trouble in the western confernce finals.. the more I hear thier pompous bull crap , the more I realize how much i love my blazers... having a sweet team ,(the deepest in the history of the league is what is circulating in these parts by the way,, they do know about the blazers here because of lamarcus ) is icing on the cake..im not a fan im a blazer,,and ill be one if we go on this 12 year run or end up in the lottery again 12 times.. no matter where we end up or where I end up im a blazer just sayin

Why are you all so worried about bayless

If you have an astute college educated gm that was and im pretty sure still a good basketball player, one who played in a top rated program, one who played on a national champion, one who learned the game from a hall of fame coach in Larry Brown,, ..one who then went to work for the spurs and learned how to build a champion from the internal and up close teachings of greg popavich,, one who has a laptop computer that has the software that his boss mr microsoft has loaded onto it.. one who does not make choices on the fly but is very studious and involves all his staff

why are we second guessing the man who took brandon roy and lamrcus aldridge over adam morrison and the head case kid in chicago...... sit back and relax.....

now lets get wnba back to portland..so i can get to see candace parker in person

Murphys law!!!!

I asked this question once before..what sites should a blazer fanatic look at each morning with the hot cup of java near by.. its evident that we all look at Oregon live and most of us check real gm. I go to http://www.hoopsworld.com every now and then http://www.hoopsworld.com/ is pretty intresting at this time of year.... http://www.prosportsdaily.com/nba/nba.html has some intresting things to say if you truly love the game and blazer content is not hard to find all blazer fans owe it to themselves to peruse this site http://www.clubblazers.com/ and insider news is pretty frequent here http://www.ripcityforever.com/ can anyone else add to my pleasure it would be greatly appreciated thanks

Now i am aware that this is a subject that has been addressed but i need to just put my 2 cents in..I posted that "baddest man on the planet " post on purpose.. It was a one man protest to say that blazer fans come in all colors, sizes, and educational back grounds. I am sure that there are blazer fans who cant even read or write (my grand father was one god rest his soul and im not ashamed to admit it) what makes you think that because a person dosent express themselves in an eloquent and formal way that their opinions are not worthy of consideration.. what you are doing is making people who are timid and meek scared to say any thing, and in my opinion that dilutes this site, I would never stoop so low as to assassinate the character of those offenders and say something like "you probably have the personality of a door knob" I would never do that, I wanted to go and look at the collection of posts of the edgers who are so preocupied and see what meaningful contributions do they make to this site.. but unfortunately I dont own any hip boots..

thanks for letting me vent,, I apologize to Dave and Ben..

oh yea I think I need to say my obligatory "SHO NUFF"

who is the baddest man on the planet

How do you qualify as being the " best" player in the world...needless to say he will never play for the trail blazers under this regime... its not culterish .. this bad man needs to be a selfish scoring me first player.. his attitude needs to say .." i dare you to try and guard me.. kobe, labron, kevin, dwayne, paul, this player needs to make the average man want to bypass wendys, and mcdonald for a week to go and see him when he comes to town this player needs to make the nba schedule games because of his presence (one vote for greg) , he needs to make the game seem as if the average guy on the assembly line or in a suit in an office feel like " I can do that" when in reality by the time you got down the floor the play would have been over.... he needs to be the first player in the gym and the last one out..just to set an example.. he needs to be fan friendly, have marketable skills and be a supreme athlete (one vote for brandon) he needs to have an extremly high basket ball I Q he' knows what he is supposed to do and what the other four players are doing on every play in the book.. He needs to be an outstanding defensive player.. and above all he needs big hands...for real .. you need big hands

This off week i was bombarded with l*aker and celtic rhetoric, even given an opportunity to watch rasheed and scottie dissapear again ... no thanks.. ...a lot of ex blazers have played in some meaningful celtic or laker games..thats what held me..watching the ex blazers compete

have you noticed how many high lite clips involve the blazers?..out side of bill walton and clyde drexler all our other clips are of us getting embarrased trounced or posteriized

and how many nba best and personal records have come at our expense

we are very deserving of what our future is going to be we deserve a break ..we deserve a stallion in this one horse town...we want the best, and we have it, at least have have a team that you have to respect. every body in the league knows who we are and cant say any thing bad about us..how can you argue the fact that greg, rudy, brandon and lamarcus, have chances be the best four players in the world at their postions in the next 5 years... but we fans can turn real quick .. they all but hung greg pop on a cross in spursville while he was coach and gm.. remember that once upon a time his career was in jeapordy, funny how a super star can make you the man. riely, popavich, jackson borwn (larry not hubie) rivers,scott...and next year mc millian. every one is hyped on greg and rudy... I bet brandon roy comes back and has a blazer record setting year. dont over look this man and he is seeing that we are. its not rudys team or gregs..its brandons .. brandon roy.. NBA Allstar

Most blaze up with mr Noah

I know im going to get "torched" on this one but the nba dosent care about its players smoking mary jane!! they only address it because of the public outrage!!! we know its illegal and ill moral , we know that it will be legal and probably still ilmoral one day, we "know "that at least 70% percent of the league blazes up.. and id venture to say that the only blazer i would bet my life on not smoking pot would be travis,,,yes even brandon and lamarcus!! dont be mad or upset the truth hurts...I think chris bosch gets lubed before he does after game interviews..the players are given advance notice of drug test except for rookies who get them randomly ,, ..The Players union protested when mr Canzono made the pact with damon..because they didnt want their superstars to have to stand up to that ... they were scared that mj and barkley would have to figure out a "reason" why they couldnt do the same...didnt they find over a pound of bud in Rpbert Parrish's trunk...he did not do one day in jail!!!!,,, ...and oh yes greg has seen a few rolling papers in his time i bet lol it really dosent matter just leave it all on the floor I guess

I wrote this to take some of the pressure off that "lets go L*ker post

Do you get the feelin

that we are really watching some special blazer history in progress..must have felt this way at woodstock..i mean the drexler teams just basiclly came out of the wood work to dominate the league..this time we have front row seats (most of us..thanks comcast) the internet, and a history of horrible teams and characters that we hadnt had before...the rise to the top is a heck of alot more intriguing this time around.....Am I the only one who cringes every time brandon goes hard to the basket..i didnt do it when twardzick did it....We should have a Paul Alleen day in portland..the man is responsible for our heartbeats..... I have just one bad thing to say about mr allen and thats FIRE...he should have kept them..it was a vulcan move I bet.... I know its his money but this is a hot bed for womens basketball..It would be a class act if he brought back wnba and did it right... put a championchip caliber team out there and you have southwest washington and all of oregons female and children population in the palms of your hands... he loses more than what it would cost to run the team in vegas on a week end..I know its his money but im just saying
Im armchair quarter backing because i probably wouldnt attend too many games if any... but it would be the classy and right thing to do

MICE OR MEN

coming off that road trip you have to wonder how tired is the youngest team in the league..On one hand you figure that young legs spring eternal..but on the other it's like ..."dam its a long season and i got tickets to Barbados over the break.. i pray that not one of our blazers think this way ,,,now is the time to see how competitive these guys are going to be the rest of the way...2 game losing streak..were dead tired and get to sleep in our own beds for two weeks...although we play tough competition...we know that if we produce ,,brandon is going to orleans representing the wild wild west...he's going either way but our play dictates.what uniform hell don....its up to us,,,,are we mice or men

Its official!!

I dont have comcast so i couldnt watch the game but i do have direct tv and the nba channel... and amad rashad did us proud today.. with the segment on the blazers..and then a second segment on brandon...all the while he was standing in front a collage of blazer gear..for the entire show!!!!...we are on the map..and the over time win only helped...how lucky are the blazers to be in Atlanta on this day of praise to a great man.. I feel so good to be a blazer fan right now

were not getting our props

so mr canzono is upset that we arent getting the national respect..i think its a good thing..lets stay under the radar for as long as possible..if we keep playing the way we are..and winning the majority of the winnable games (wich seems like all of them lately)...but the fans are starting to notice that we are for real...look at this http://boards.hoopsworld.com/Forums/t/529.aspx.. these are knick fans talking about wanting roy and alderidge..the most "knowledgeable" fans in the world want our team..yuk yuk yuk... go blazers or should i say baby spurs (dont kill me)
