    Collins should start tonight. But he won’t.

    Adelman's legacy will be remembered longer than LA's.

    Yes, it was his coaching (rather than his talent as a player) that made the Blazers special, but I would not be opposed to retiring his #12.

    I love it, @riverman !

    So they have LaMarsha, a 37 and 40-Year Old, a kid from Rainier Beach HS, and the SLOWEST SF of all time.

    Yet, watch Grandpop still coach them to a win.

    Still wouldn't deserve to have his Jersey retired.

    Exactly, dude made it out of the first round once. And when he finally did, he got pissed because it was someone else who led us there (at least at the end of the series, to be fair he was magnificent in games 1 and 2).

    Which playoff caliber squad did Aldridge hold back? Fans treating this sport like tennis will always confuse me. It doesn’t depend on one guy. And I don’t even like Aldridge, but come on.

    Well I would argue the way he quit against Memphis would be reason enough to disqualify him. But on principle, if you can't lead a team to postseason success, you're not worthy of having your jersey retired. By the same token, Roy shouldn't have his retired either.

    Oh I agree that he shouldn’t have his number retired but let’s not pretend like he was the reason we never advanced. Yeah he quit in the Memphis series, and that’s unforgivable, but we were already a broken team.

    Then you should've remembered when he won a playoff series on the greatest shot in Blazers history.
