Good interview with former GM Bob Whitsitt. He talks about what it was like to trade Clyde Drexler. There are some similar parallels to what is going on with Dame currently. He also talks about the Jail Blazers years, dealing with JR Rider and Jermaine O'Neal.

What ever happened to the poster that did the greatest Bill Walton impression of all-time? Loved that guy. Always made my day the greatest in the history of western civilization. Hope he's well and just got sick of our crap.

Lillard with a bad start to the year and bucks defense looks ass. Lowest amount of FGAs per game for Lollards career at less than 15

ESPN is reporting Walter Davis has died of natural causes.

I remember him all too well from those great Suns/Nuggets teams in the 80's and
he played in Portland on the Drexler teams at the tail end of his career. The greyhound
could play

The only thing even remotely keeping me checking box scores anymore is to see the Warriors dropping games.

I'd be happy if the GSW FRP was in the teens but Tankathon has the pick in the late lottery,

That's not going to happen but I'd love to get two more front court players with real upside
for adding a Ron Holland and one of the many bigs in this draft would really complete this
team.

IDK about anybody else, but have absolutely ZERO interest in the in-season tournament. Does it make Nov/Dec games more competitive? Probably. But it still only generates interest for fans of the good teams. I have no interest in watching an in-season Finals for money and bragging rights between two high PO teams.

To expand it's market the NBA needs to generate interest for fans of bad teams and small market cities, not good teams and big cities.

Dame surpassed 20,000 points in the Bucks game tonight. I really wanted that to happen for him as a Blazer. :(

Not big enough for a new thread. Not sure were the middle N came from. Posts that don't generate many (if any) replies. Jokes, highlights, stats, Rip City Remix news, etc.

Sharpe and Scoot both made the Rising Stars game. Good for them.
