    I agree with everything he said about Blake and CJ. Our guard rotation will be better this season.

    I don't think this analysis takes into account Damian being in jail for shoplifting.

    Good grief - I wasn't a big fan of Mo's game, but even I admit the team will miss him.

    Yes, I think Mo has been underrated. Posters act as if Blake is light years better.

    The team might -- those free steak dinners are pretty tempting -- but I won't.

    They are two entirely different types of players. Mo did one thing very well (come in cold off the bench and score) and they will miss that at times. Especially at the beginning of the season. But even if he would of come back, his scoring would have dropped. At least it should have. When you have other options like Kaman, and CJ, you need to give them a chance to shoot too.

    I think the bench would have been frustrated playing another year with Mo. But then again maybe Mo was black hole with the ball because he thought he had to be with the bench from last year. Either way this is a different year and the back up PG needs to facilitate a little more for the Blazer bench to be more balanced and effective by the end of the season. Good defensive teams can always shut down an offense if there is only one option. Having multiple scoring options off the bench is essential IMO and I think Blake will be more in tune to make sure that happens.

    Comcast complained to the Blazers about me. I was posting Chris Haynes articles their entirety but I was including a link. I explained to Chris that I like the stuff he writes but there are a lot of people who hate Comcast and won't click on their links. He said if it were up to him I could post what I want but his editor was making a huge stink about it. Also the editor doesn't even want me posting links to their articles here because you guys only discuss the articles on our site and not in the comment section of http://www.csnnw.com/ . That's why I made sure to include a picture of Dwight so everyone knows who wrote it, will hopefully click on the link and read the wonderful article.

    From what I understand the editor of CSNNW reads this site and he will most likely complain to the Blazers again instead of contacting me here via Private Message or my SlyPokerDog@yahoo.com email address.

    So, basically, the editor at CSNNW is complaining about the internet operating the way the internet does: people posting links to content that they think is interesting. Seems like a rather strange idea, but then that's not unusual for Comcast in general.

    So the editor of CSNNW doesn't want me to click on their link, go to their site, and read their articles?

    What a dipshit.

    And that's being kind.

    BTW: Fuck Comacast

    I think they like the link being clicked, they just want you to discuss their articles on their site and not on here. Only one person has commented on this current Jaynes article on CSNNW. I get the impression that they feel by discussing the article here they are having site traffic stolen from them. Which is the very reason why I post some of their articles.

    Writers on every sport sight quote or link articles from the daily news feeds. To link to comcast articles here is a bump for them. I would never read Jaynes if it wasn't through this site or the Blazers site. They just must be cat lovers and dog haters over there is the only viable explanation. Maybe they want some payola?

    Chris Haynes shouldn't care one way or the other now that he's in Cleveland
