    God I love T-Rob! He was a beast! Wish he could have got his game together and stayed with us. HIs block shot to Will Barton don’t is one of my favorite plays I’ve ever seen!

    Easily my favorite sequence I've seen. There have been bigger shots/moments but that entire sequence is tough to top. I did not see the (approximation) 7 points the Blazers scored in the final 15 seconds against the Bulls? back in the day before the 3-point shot to come from behind and win by 1.

    Anyone remember that more clearly or can find a link? That would have been pretty spectacular as well.

    Trob would’ve stuck around if he had embraced his role a little more. In his mind he was a star that got the short end of the stick. Very similar to Faried. The only difference is Faried kept it in check until he got paid. Now nobody wants him either, and I don’t think it’s only because of his contract.

    Hey, let's trade for Dirk Nowitzki - he's probably averaged 35 mpg over a 20 year career! What's that you say? His minutes are much lower in recent years? You mean, like Faried's 14 mpg this season?

    Denver has been TRYING to GIVE Faried away for a while now. The fact that there are no takers speaks volumes.

    That Block from TRob against brewer was legendary. The crowd reaction was epic .

    Wes got himself pretty comprehensively stuffed at the beginning of that clip, too.

    I could see him moving all the way up to the Clippers at 12 or 13.

    Makes sense since the guy could barely jump over a stack of quarters!

    Not really. Was it the playoff game that went into overtime in '77 ? That Chicago series was tough. We almost didn't get out of the first round. The rest is history.

    The 14th pick speaks even higher volumes, which is why he's being talked about at all.

    I don't think Denver will offer that, but that's the rumor.
