Hilarious to read. I literally lol-ed so hard. 
He must have some sorta photobucket fetish, since he's defending it so aggressively.

				When I saw the Miller picture, I was thinking cracked out homeless guy.  
Can you add some white lips to Miller?  That would just fulfill my vision.  Let's hope your hater additions do the trick.  Do you think they will start Batum to cover Nash?

				Stat time!
Portland offensive stats:  
PPG:  94.65 (25th)
FG%:  43% (27th)
3-Point FG%:  33.5% (24th)
Point Differential:  -.80 (16th)
Portland Defensive Stats:
Opponents PPG:  95.45 (7th)
Opponents FG%  47% (23rd)
Opponents 3-Point FG%:  35.2% (12th)
Rebounding Differential:  +.8 (14th)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Initially I was confused; the Blazers only allow ~95ppg, however they have given up an average of 47% from the field to their opponents.  Looks like the culprit here is pace.  The Blazers are dead last in pace:

In any event, the Blazers length, as always, will be a problem.  
What to watch offensively:  Roy was 2-11 from the field last night, and things aren't looking good for his knees.  Batum's style of play definitely suits him in this type of game.  Also, the Suns have the potential to really bust this one open if they can control the pace of the game and force the Blazers to play our game instead of the methodical Nate McMillan ball they're used to.
What to watch defensively:  When Armon Johnson and Wesley Matthews are paired together, they're fun to watch as a defense.  Reminds me of an old school backcourt defense, and the pressure they provide in short bursts is Bruce Bowen-esque.
Prediction:  Ball.  Suns by 13

				BTW--There was a fight between the Clippers and Trailblazers last night, apparently.  I haven't seen the replay, but "fight" is what I was told.  Anyway, Wesley Matthews appeared to have left the bench "area" during the altercation, so we may not have to worry about him tonight--If he did in fact leave the bench area, he would be suspended for tonight's game.
