    "Fairy tale?" How can it end when it hasn't even begun? This is a laughable article, and complete bullshit. Sour grapes, jealousy, envy, douche baggery. All rolled up in to one article!

    I love jocking Bynum>Oden but somebody comparing Oden to Olawakandi is just stupid. For one Oden is a basketball player, Olawakandi was a tall dude on a basketball court.

    You guys think Portland being inhospitable has merit?...I think he brings up a good point on the Outlaw trading block

    ...the writer cant spell "defense"

    LOL @ the dipwit with his comments about Pritchard being a prick:

    "hoopsjunkie
    3 hours ago
    Kevin Pritchard is a prick! Paul Allen's money won't mean a thing if they can't attract big-name free-agents because of their arrogarnt GM. Allen better wise up and replace Pritchard before the big free-agent bonanza of the summer of 2010. Otherwise, they'll be spurned again like they were spurned by Turkoglu & Millsap this off-season."

    Right cause we have enough money to get Lebron or Bosh to come here.

    Who wrote it? The beauty of the internet is you don't need facts or analysis or basketball smarts to be a self-proclaimed "expert".

    The Blazers based their team building on facts. The only fairy tales I'm aware of are the ones I hear at the Parade. (and I can get away with that joke).

    Yeah, and that's why Milsap and Miller both wanted to sign here this summer, and Hedo certainly considered it. Also why Roy, Przybilla, Webster and Outlaw all re-signed. For an inhospitable place, a lot of people seem to want to play here.

    Exactly. This is the type of stuff we are going to have to get used to. You think anyone outside of Detroit liked the Bad Boy Pistons back in the day?

    LMFAO!!!!!

    Theo Ratliff from 03-04 was a fucking beast. He was always a threat for a double-double (rebs/blks).

    This guy lost me when he said this..
    "He's as unspectacular as they come yet he's a two-time representative at the All-Flash All-Star Weekend"

    Hasn't this guy seen Roy's moves at all? Just b/c he doesnt pull in your face slams all the time, doesn't mean hes unspectacular. I happen to sit in awe watching him tear apart defenses alone.

    More funny raptor stuff, the raptors realgm board is well known for being the worst board on that entire site (and that's saying something) and their hate for the Blazers, here they actually believe their gm is much better than the overrated KP for overpaying even more for Hedo than KP would have i guess.

    I like the way he uses bayless and outlaw as examples of why the team is so awful. Or the Darius Miles fiasco, btw what team is this "healthy" darius miles playing for this year... oh nobody? huh that's strange... Last time I checked, when you have a player signed to a contract and you're not using him, like Bayless, it's not necessarily your obligation to trade him to the first team that wants to shaft you in a deal. :dunno:

    lol that douche gives the Blunder a great write up while also managing to put down the Blazers again in it, I think we have another Adrian Wojnawhatever on our hands.
