    In his piece about tonight's matchup against the Celtics he described, at length, the game played at Boston last year. He pointed out that the Blazers lost by 28! The trouble with that is that we lost 100-90. Now I'm no mathematician, but something doesn't compute there. :crazy:

    God I thought I was losing it. He said the same thing yesterday on the radio (yes, I started listening to him again).

    Maybe he attended a game in an alternate universe?

    Since when did the truth have any place in his daily works of fiction?

    Why let the facts get in the way of a good story?

    Damn. I was thinking we'd be able to hear him on the radio later trying to explain this, but he won't be on until Monday.

    I think this is just hilarious.

    Typical lazy journalism from he who must not be named (or read, or listened to). He'd much rather spend his time dreaming up ways to create controversy and negativity than spend it on something as mundane (and productive) as checking his facts.

    Yes, it's his editor's fault. Canzano can do no wrong.

    Well you do know that in the world of professional writers, that it is actually the job of the editor to go through and fact check and fix mistakes........

    Secondly, I think Canzano is a pile of shit. Don't count me in as a supporter. But I did sleep in a Holiday in Express last night. :pimp:

    Goodness knows I'm not by any means a Canzano fan, but aside from "10" instead of "28", what else in that article was wrong?

    KG did do his punching thing before the game. He did talk smack all night long. He did get up in Przybilla's face. He did dunk on Roy. He did talk afterward about "nothing personal", trying to show that "KG = class". We did get punked -- ask Roy. We did play tentative, letting the refs give the advantage to the aggressors.

    Hopefully Big Luke gives Greg a phone call before the game to remind him of "elbows and chiclets".

    It was a big deal because he made it sound like we got curb-stomped! We actually led at halftime!

    It was a four point game in the last minute.
