    He's going to be such a good player in the future. I've already got him in my "big four".

    That was a nasty dunk by Nicolas.. Pau got posterized several times in the first half. Too bad we only showed up for 24 mins.

    Kobe's dunk wasn't on anybody.

    Nic's dunk was a power dunk right over Pau Gasol's dome. One of the sickest posterizations I've seen from anyone in a Blazer uni in years.

    On a side note, I think it's time we just go back to the road black unis. I'm not exactly sure what our record is in the red unis, but I don't think it's really good.

    remind me how long it's been since a team that lost in the finals made it back the next year?

    Now go finish that bottle and pass out in your ditch

    Batum is going to be good. Maybe not a superstar, but that smart defensive glue guy that all the championship teams have. I love his length, and he seems to have a great head on his shoulders based on the translation of his blogs.


    Not to brag too much, but I'm pretty happy that I was pushing for Batum and Rudy well before we drafted either of them. Can't imagine how much I loved it when we got Batum so late in this draft. A lot of this year's rookies have been making good team contributions.

    BTW- Lee made 2 of the top 10 plays of the night....

    Lee seems like the perfect backup PF for us......energy guy/hustle player, rebounder and a competitor.

    The problem is finding him minutes to keep him happy.

    He wants starters minutes, but I would assume 30 would be enough.

    If you play Aldridge 35 minutes a night and Oden gets 30 and Joel gets 20 then that leaves a grand total of 11 minutes for those two spots. I don't really think you could play he or Aldridge at the 3 for extended minutes, but at best it adds another 5 minutes. So 16 total.

    Now if you were to trade Joel and pieces for a huge upgrade at the 3 or at PG then Lee would be a great fit.
