Nice article! "The bench is coming together!"

I love this part of the editorial!

"I'm going to say it right now: Robin Lopez will become a Blazers fan favorite. Sure, there will be some who will criticize a play here and there, a game here and there, and his style of play here and there. On the other hand, many will embrace him for his style. I can only wonder if the organization will hold a Fropez Night where replica hair pieces are passed out in a similar fashion to the dreadlocks hairpieces which were handed out in honor of Brian Grant when he played for the Blazers."

Good shit!

 

hey Sly ... thanks for posting the link here!

it's a good read, if i say so myself! enjoy!

 

PDXKass wrote this?! Awesome work girl!!!!!

 

i really liked that part too. i could totally see it happening!

 

Yeah I always called him "side show bob". It would be soooo cool to see the fans do that

 

nice find Sly, and nice job

 

thanks. it was fun writing it. i've actually written 105 blogs on the blazers blogger network. this is the latest.

 

i've heard the Sideshow Bob reference. i prefer Fropez!

 

Yeah he never posts my articles either!!!! I had a good piece on what type of condoms best suit an half Asian man.

It was very informative!

 

i wasn't sure if there was a protocol for posting these types of things. appreciated the assistance.

i don't know what to say to that. really, i just have no words!

 

Most likely, a slanted take, though.

 

A half size one?

On a serious note - I can't wait to see our team with a REAL bench. Man, its going to be weird not having a panic attack after the 6 minute mark in the first quarter and not dreading what is about to come.

 

My memory is a little fuzzy... wasn't Brian Grant also known as Side Show Bob for a while?

 

Fucking tell me about it. I can't remember how many times I threw my remote and screamed from such a lackluster bench.

I truly believe we will be soooooo much better now that we have a bench and at least a semi competent center that can protect the basket

 

I think Rolo (credit to whoever posted that first) is a better center than people give him credit for, and playing alongside an elite big in LMA will allow hiim to focus on D and rebounding.

I don't see how we could be worse, thats for sure. 3/5ths of our starting lineup played injured because we had no other option, which is truly pathetic. I'm really excited. I wonder what the rotation will look like (post all-star break - once everyone is acclimated blah blah).

Lillard - Wes - Batum - Aldridge - Lopez is a given, but this is wehre its tricky. Watson - McCollum - Wright - Robinson - Meyers or McCollum - Barton/Crabbe - Wright - Robinson - Meyers. Or, is there some insane way Meyers finds a way to earn the starting spot at some point? Its interesting to see what they will do with McCollum (PG or SG) and how that affects Barton/Crabbe.

 

Yep and in all seriousness; I just can't wait for the season to start. I think the product we put out is really gonna surprise the fuck out of people. It's gonna be sweet!
