    I'm sure glad we drafted Nolan Smith over Faried! AND we got Felton to boot!

    Denver was playing short-handed, and still murdered the Blazers on the boards. I'm sorry, but that is a hustle issue.

    Extremely frustrating watching when we play Denver. The have two good point guards, one whom we gave them and the other we wanted but let them outmaneuver us in the 2009 draft.
    And then to see Kenneth Faried pretty much singlehandedly beat us. I will still never believe that Portland picked Nolan Smith over Kenneth Faried, especially since our biggest need is a highenergy big man, so I will have to conclude we just got outnegotiated. Not to mention, Denver in effect got rights to Jordan Hamilton out of that deal and he made some really nice shots tonight.

    On the bright side, Andre is an unrestricted free agent this summer

    Not if that point guard struggles with mundane aspects of the position like dribbling.

    Funny thing is, the Blazer fans seem to be right more often than the GMs making the picks. I remember most fans wanted Faried, Dujaun Blair, Chris Paul...etc....

    I'd rather the team be run by fan vote than the bozo's in the front office.

    Maybe we can hire him to be our new head coach.

    That's what happens when you don't have a GM.

    If PA had any people skills at all we'd still have KP or at least Cho.
