    So, the most pro-Blazer writer around is a moron? Thank you Mixum. :devilwink:

    He hasn't really been pro Blazers ever since was hired by ESPN. Yes, he still mentions them and writes positive things, but he also writes randoms negative things just to prove he 'isn't a biased homer'. For instance his line about Portland fans wondering why Dante/Martell/Jerryd were in instead of Brandon. I'd like to know what site he was getting that 'majority' tally from because it sure wasn't here, realgm, oregonlive, or Blazersedge.

    I believe we win that game 4 regardless of Roy playing or not playing. He provided a warm fuzzy feeling but his play was far from special, it was poor.

    We lost the series in 6 with Roy coming back, do we lose if he stayed out? Probably, but there's a chance Bayless or Rudy could have finally steeped up. Despite Rudy's problems in the playoffs he was playing great in game 6, then McMillian put in Roy and the Suns went on a run that decided the game. Roy shot 30.3% from the field in the playoffs, that is horrendous; his defense was bad as well.

    So I guess after last nights game that Brandon will drop down to 3rd after that performance Lebron turned in.

    4th. LeBron should be in there twice because he's 2x the superstar.

    Incorrect. LMA got many clean looks at the hoop because Brandon was in the game.

    The chance of Bayless or Rudy stepping up was far less then the chance that Brandon would get hot in one game. Mostly because Brandon has gotten hot before in the playoffs while Bayless and Rudy have never played well during the money season.

    Perhaps he should get some salve for his vagina.

    I have a real hard time buying the elbow bullshit line they are feeding us when it was just a couple of games ago, well after the injury occured, that Lebron dropped 24 points in a single quarter. That seems to have escaped many of these peoples minds.

    Secondly I would point out, that most players are banged up this time of the season. If you aren't banged up, you are pretty fortunate.

    As the most pro-Blazer predicter in the prediction game (and a perennial loser) for several years running I ought to know. (Check my miserable record)

    Being a devoted fan is no indication of intelligence. Trashing the team's best player is just plain stupid.
