    I have no idea what the NNA is but I'm still impressed.

    This is seriously one of the best posts I've read in a while, and if I wasn't taking a dump in a public bathroom right now, I would have laughed.

    I tried with an Allan Crabbe post and that didn't work

    No Ninnies association. Everybody there plays great defense. You should be impressed.

    I hope truck gets it. That block on brewer was more exciting than anything ive seen from him on the offensive end, more please. I love scrappy guys with attitudes. Thats why sheed and przybilla are my faves.

    I think it's mutual between Robinson/Agent and the Blazers - a trade is likely IMO.

    He's strictly a PF and playing behind a superstar PF the minutes are extremely limited.

    Robinson for Shumpert, GetRdone!

    For several months, I've read only a few threads.

    Olshey gave up picks to get Robinson when he could have just kept the far better Hickson (who would have waited till the higher priorities were signed...there, I pre-answered the stock rejoinder).

    But....but....OK, Hickson is better offensively but there aren't enough words to describe how bad his defense hurts a team. But I'll try: suck, sieve, ole', apathetic. I know I missed some.

    Hickson: Not a good fit or a winner.

    Robinson: Good fit and winner, if he buys into his role. Too bad he's not buying it. He's dreaming bigger. If he wants to dream -- let him do it on another team.

    Did anyone notice how he's become that player that gets under the other team's skin? It almost like Dirk wanted to punch him in the face! We need players like this.

    Now that pot is legal, JJ would have been useless in Portland
