    When coach Stotts gets all that talent focused, it will be a wonder to watch this team.
    Now I suppose that will draw some more rope smoking comments. Sigh!

    In the game thread, several posters expressed "disappointment" with CJ. I responded that frankly, I'm more disappointed in TRob. Higher expectations, and less to show for it than either CJ or Meyers, IMO.

    I'm happy to say I've consistently supported a patient approach to Meyers' development. I just hope I'm still happy in two years. :)

    ESPN LA guys absolutely in love with Dame and his closer qualities. Comparing him to a young Kobe bleh

    Since this has been brought to the Blazers attention...

    I saw the post and issued a warning to Sinobas about it last night at 9:07pm. I'm not familiar with the warning system in the new forum software so it was a great way to see how it works. He was immediately notified that that post had been flagged.

    I then sent him a friendly PM/Convo this morning asking him to tone it down in the game threads. Technically, under the rules of our forum that is not a personal attack but that, IMO, is more of a post designed to provoke a reaction from other people posting in the game thread. It's something that could lead to insults and arguments. I was polite but I did ask him to take things down a notch or two in the game threads.

    I also included other members of the staff in the conversation I was having with Sinobas so we would all be on the same page.

    I did not delete the post. Again, while it made me uncomfortable to read there was nothing wrong with it.

    Sinobas is a clown. I would be very surprised if he actually believes what he posts. Kind of like Rudy. And B-Roy to a lesser extent.

    Except Dame is more clutch.

    Remember the Michael Jordan commercial where he talked about how many game winners he MISSED? I'd be curious to see a clutchness comparison between the three of them.

    Hmm... seems I was the only one that pegged TRob's rebound number in the poll.

    Yep and PapaG being his usual shit stirring self. Out of the hundreds of posts in the game thread, that's the one he decides to tweet. Once a douche, always a douche.

    I appreciate him tweeting it. If they want to check out that we had a 600+post thread on a Monday night where we were playing like garbage most of the game, and be offended that there's one poster on the internet who expresses unpopular opinions, I'm not sure that there's anything I can do to stop it, even if I wanted to, which I personally don't.

    The phrase "hoist on his own petard" comes to mind. I have no idea why, since it doesn't fit here, but jus' sayin'...

    I mean, it's more interesting that he has two tweets since September and 8 followers, but chose this medium. Branching out!
