I was wondering if anyone knew for sure that the summer league games were on comcast? I saw that scheduled for monday on comcast sports is a two hour long trailblazers courtside, but it is at 7pm and the game on monday is scheduled for 5pm. Anyone know what's up? Sorry if this has been covered before, I searched and did not see an answer. Thank you.

Who started using the phrase- "players name here" anyone?-

I know this is a stupid post, but I've used the phrase, for Ty Lawson I think. You have a player and you are asking if anyone would agree with you in getting them. The Oldest one I could find is this http://www.blazersedge.com/2008/6/14/552232/shaun-livingston-anyone By chrischa about one year ago. It's kind of a funny phrase. Did you start it? Or perhaps it's super old. Just wondering.

Rafer Alston, skip to my blazer?

Rafer Alston, skip to my blazer?

I was just watching game 5 of the finals, and the announcers mentioned that when Rafer Alston was on the bench for the 4th quarter and overtime of game 4 he was very unhappy. So they began wondering if he would be happy being a back up to Jameer Nelson next year. If not they would have to trade him. Is he an upgrade for us? I don't really know, Houston ssemed to decide that Aaron brooks was better. But I have liked how he is performing in the Finals, most people thought is was an obvious mistake to have Nelson in so much. Is he someone the Blazers would want?

Sergio Llull anyone?

I did not now Sergio Llull was in the draft this year. I read this article on Nba.com and was surprised to see he was in there. The NBA point they compare him to is Jose Calderon, but then they write this "Llull has good physical attributes for the NBA, including excellent size and above-average athleticism. He brings great energy to the floor and really gets after it defensively. He's also a much improved perimeter shooter and decision maker, appearing to be one of those late-bloomers who still has upside to grow into." Sorry, but that totally destroys the comparison to Calderon. I only know him from watching him play online in some games, but I liked what I saw. We could draft him, and if Bayless works out he could come over next year to be a back up. If Bayless does not work out I think we would have Llull as insurance. For those that fear another Sergio fiasco, I thought he was very different from Sergio when I saw him.

Is LeBron a spoiled brat?

Is LeBron a spoiled brat?

I wanted to know what others thought of this. I heard he walked off without talking to media, but I didn't realize that he didn't shake anyone's hand or congratulate them. What do you think of this article. Just trying to shake things up in slow basketball news time, or is it something to think about for LeBrons future teammates?

Question- is 3 the small forward?

Question- is 3 the small forward?

Ok, I don't know a lot about basketball, I'll admit, did not play, have been a fan for 4 years. This morning on MSP a guy came on, KP2 I think? Thurs morning. He said we need to work on the point, and small forward positions. For the small forward position he mentioned Paul Milsap and Brandon Bass. I thought they were Power forwards, which I though was the 4 position. I also thought that the Small Forward was the 3 position. It seems there has been other discussions here where there is confusion about that. So am I wrong? Whats up? Thank You
